I go everyday...just finished freshman year and definitly need to work off more than the freshman 15...ahh! It's easier if it's somewhere close to where you live because then its not a hassel for you to get there/out of your way to go. There's some days that I feel completely too tired to go, but know that I must if I want to lose weight/keep in shape. I always feel really good after working out (my stomach feels sooo much flatter, haha) and seem to have more energy. I also belong to a gym that has TV's on the equiptment, so that you can go and work out with out missing a tv show that you like and hey..its better than just sitting on the couch and watching TV. At school, I always brought cd's to listen to music, which made the time pass by quicker. I also tend to go in the morning/afternoon because I'm more motivated. I also get motivated when I look around and everyone else is working out/getting in shape...if they can do it, you can too! You just have to say to yourself that you are gonna make it part of your daily routine, and not give up! Good Luck
