I have just started dieting...basing my diet on the WW point program. My mom is on WW and I am just using her stuff and she is advising me...can't afford to actually join. I am on day 2. Problem is that I don't have time to go to the gym. I actually have a gym where I work, but I am usually rushing off to school afterwards. Is it possible to lose 10 pounds the 'right way' w/ out spending an hour at the gym or am I wasting my time? Previously I have lost weight the 'wrong way' in the past and am trying to turn over a new leaf. Just need to stay motivated and know that I will see some results.

Re: Wanna got down 10 pounds
can you work out before work or during lunch?
I don't have time either, I make time!! I get up at 5. I am at the gym by 5:35. I workout for a half hour, or 45 minutes, shower at the gym, drive to the train(around the block) and get to wall street in manhattan by 8:30. I have a 2 hour and 20 min commute each way. I get home from work every day at 9:30 pm then do the same thing the next day. Sometimes I go during lunch.
If you have one hour in the morning, you should get to the gym.
What is your schedule like?
You should work out regardless if you want to loose weight or not. I know you don't want brittle bones and osteoporosis when you are older, so try your best to get to the gym!!!

Re: Wanna got down 10 pounds
I lost almost 10 pounds without exercising. I wish I did exercise, but at that time, I had NO time. Now, after the wedding, I have gained about 3 or 4 pounds, and now I am going to start exercising. I think my dh and I are going to start walking. His knees are hurting him from work, so I told him he should walk to make them feel better!!! good luck

Re: Wanna got down 10 pounds
Can you spend at least 30 minutes a day? You could walk, or ride a bicycle for a bit. Or buy some hand weights and use them at home. I don't always have time to go to the gym either, or workout for an hour each day, but I try to make sure I do something for at least half an hour every other day and do longer workouts when I can (usually 2x a week, sometimes 3).
I work in the city, so sometimes my exercise is as simple as getting off the subway earlier and walking for half an hour or so.

Re: Wanna got down 10 pounds
I go to the gym right after work- I bring my clothes with me- if I went home I would NEVER go
you could go in the morning and then go straight to work maybe
there is no way I could have lost weight and kept it off with the gym!
