Getting into shape...other than round!

Now that we are pretty much settled in our new home, I've made the commitment to lose this extra weight I've gained over the last few months.

Problem is, I really don't like to exercise. I enjoy going for walks but at a leisurely pace, not a pace that would really burn any calories. I hate bike riding and I can barely swim so those are not good options for me. I find the treadmill to be boring. Running is something I would consider but I need to find a really good sports bra first. My boobs are just to big to run comfortably without one. I am not into sports so much....I feel I am not coordinated enough to do something like tennis or aerobics class.

So what am I to do??? I opted for an elliptical trainer. We recently invested in an elliptical machine and I'm hoping I can stay motivated enough to continue doing it. It's tolerable and doesn't require much coordination though I'm afraid I'll get bored with it like I would with a treadmill. I'm trying to keep in mind the health benefits of getting in shape and how much better I'll feel once I lose weight. I'm also hoping my daughter's upcoming wedding will be enough to keep me going!

Why does losing weight and getting in shape have to be so much work? I know it'll be worth it in the end but it just seems like such a chore.  It's so much easier putting the weight on.
