Hi, Lynn. Welcome -- and congratulations on your TREMENDOUS success so far!

Exercise is one of my challenges, too, and I haven't gotten it nailed down yet -- but I'm working on it. I work at home, so it's easier; I can just get up and walk the halls if I can't get outside.

I'd suggest to first, figure out what you CAN do. And don't ignore the 10-minute walks (from the car, up or down the stairs). When I did work in an office, I'd take a short break every two hours or so and go out and walk around the block once or twice -- 7 minutes here, 10 minutes there. It adds up.

Then, when you start to feel the benefits of the exercise -- how good you feel -- it's easier to WANT to squeeze it in, and people do make time. Get up a half-hour earlier. Carve a half-hour out in the evening.

I'm currently doing a short weight-training routine from a book called "8 Minutes in the Morning." I keep the book and the weights in my bedroom so I have no excuse not to use them. Anybody has 8 minutes.

Good luck!
