Another "help me lose weight" Thread

[edtost]

well, there's no better way to put it than that i'm a lazy, fat slob. i made plans to start going to the gym regularly after my christmas break ended, but as i'm sure you all can imagine, that didn't last long. its not so much that i have a problem with physical activity as that i just get bored really easily.

anyway, i'm looking for some sort of new physical activity to take up thats interesting enough for me to not quit, and being cheap to start is a plus too. snowboard season's ending, i've started playing badminton at school, i'll be golfing over the summer, and can stand just about anything competitive if i can actually find someone else to join me. also, i've played tennis/squash in the past, but finding people to play with who aren't really good is a challenge. i used to play ice hockey and mountain bike, too.

ideas? or do i just need to suck it up and start running or something?
