Physical exercise = pure evil?

I have a very bad relationship with exercise, which is one of the leading causes of my weight troubles alongside dislike of vegetables, absolute hatred of anyone being around me as I try to workout, and then there's the generalized and total apathy for living.

For a period of about 3 months, I was at the gym 3 times a week (finding the quietest time,) and walking the other four days, between four and eight kilometers each time. It was good, I was losing weight and eating well. Huzzah. Then something in my brain finally gave way, and now 3 months after my last gym visit I've already gained back 15 pounds and am holding steady course to regaining the other 20.

It's not entirely surprising for me, given that I've always been a fat bastard with no willpower towards food. Took a winter-long course to help out and am on a web forum trying to get back into it, but as every single person has told me, 'Motivation is the key.'

That's nice. What if you physically cannot get motivated to, nor excited about, losing weight?

Yeah, anyways. I prefer not sweating whenever possible.

I take my dog running for an hour every morning before sunrise, while the streets are still dead quiet. I really have no strong feelings about it one way or the other, just one of these things needs to be done.

i don't really like working out but if i don't do i get the body shape of an alien (long thin limbs, narrow shoulders etc). not that i care much about how i look but i'm just a lot less paranoid with a "normal" human male looking body. i also travel by bike mostly and go on several days hiking/camping in the mountains every now and then. i don't really have a taste for food so i just eat stuff that is cheap and healthy.

I try to do 3-5 hours of cardio a week. I just remind myself that no matter how much I dislike it, suffering is better than feeling nothing. My willpower seems to be stronger with avoiding junk food though.

I was a fat kid for a while, I lost about 80 lbs when I decided I had had enough of it... now I've been told I'm too small, hah, whatever. it was all a real pain though. Definitely best to just not get fat in the first place, if I had to do it again.

I've gotten pretty lax about exercise lately, not because I hate doing it but because I don't feel like I have to do it as much now and so it's easier to procrastinate. I work out at home a lot because I really hate being sweaty in public. Well I hate being sweaty, but moreso in public.

I'm very lazy. I've been overweight pretty much all my life, but I can't find the motivation to work out. It is just boring and I dislike doing it around other people. I walk my dog for a few hours every day and that can be nice if I have access to a forest or other area where I can walk without running into people all the time (walking in the middle of the night is my favourite).

If I managed to loose some weight first I would probably start running (with the dog) just because higher speed means longer distance covered means more variation.

I have an ex-racehorse, so I used to ride a lot. It takes a lot of strength, so I used to do sit ups, crunches, push ups, and I'd run a bit besides. I don't do any of that now, at least not consistently. I should probably give it a shot, since it helps my focus (very scatter-brained/absent-minded), but I lack the motivation. I'm also one of those people who remains the same relative size, if less toned, even when they're laying around on a netbook all day. I have a limited tolerance for sweet foods anyway. I also get bored with food in general; that's going to be more quickly adverse to my health than just being lazy.

I find that running helps with stress.
exercising feels amazing.
I recently got a treadmill.
i've added running to my daily routine.

Exercise is to get better condition or get stronger not to loose weight, you can eat in 5 minutes more kcal then you had lost in an hour of exercising, if you want to loose weight you must eat less, reduce the carbs, eat protein, and fat, and you will loose weight doing nothing. Every research done on it proves it to be effective, also you can eat as much as you feel like, you will naturally not crave as much food when eating mostly protein, and fat.

I don't experience any runners high , or any other positive emotional effect that is supposed to be as a result of it, it just makes me tired. I have nothing against movement that doesn't seem like to much effort. I can walk for miles without any problems but I avoid anything that feels like I have to force myself to do it.

I am fat now because I can't care, but I wasn't always fat, and I know that this is about eating the right foods, not those from the obese pyramid that doctors propose. Both from research, and personal experience I actually did take the diet just out of curiosity not because I did care to loose weight I did go from 93kg to 85kg in a month eating as much as I had felt like it. 187cm.
