Spluff:
I'm sure a lot more will be, due to new years resolutions.
jhocking:
oh yeah right. So give it two weeks for the numbers to settle.

You look great in your picture, so don't get in shape for other people. If you want to be healthier because it makes you happy, go for it. but don't do it for other people, or for looks, because you already look great. Also, it's a good thing that you're seeing a doctor because I think your trouble exercising has nothing to do with your personal determination!

@Juxtaposition:
I'm not doing it for anyone but myself. I feel loads better exersizing, and I've always wanted to be the proud owner of a flat toned tummy. I've been close before but when "that time of the month" comes I definitely do not feel like lifting a finger and then I just stop.

Completely agreed. I'd love a six pack, just for my own personal happiness, but I just don't have the genetics to be much thinner than I am without being unhealthy. I'm always going to have that little muffin top, and I'm probably the only one who will ever notice.
Right now I'm doing a silly loophole filled diet with my mom just to support her. It's called the "no S diet", and the rules go like this: No sweets, snacks or seconds except on days starting with an s or special occasions. I've found this works pretty well if I don't go crazy on the weekends and I eat 5-6 small meals a day. The best thing it's done for me, I think, is encourage me to eat more small meals, which considering my borderline hypoglycemia I really should be doing anyway. Also, it keeps me from sitting down to a whole bag of salt and vinegar chips, which is my biggest weakness.
Also, I'm trying to ride my bike every morning. It'll be hard with the fact that I'll be leaving for school at 7:30 every day soon. I'm doing a 10 minute abs every day and at least an hour (two or three is better) of something else (bike riding, bellydance, bellydance fitness videos, skiing when portland has incredible crazy snowstorms, hiking with a weighted pack, aerial dance, contra dance, whatever else is going on.) I'm doing pretty ok at this, though mostly these days it's the videos at home with my family, because I'm too lazy to go out.
tania:
january tends to be the busiest month for most gyms as so many people make it their new year's resolution to get healthy. you may be better off exercising some other way. the good news is that most of the aforementioned people abandon their resolutions pretty quick, so by february or even the end of january you should have much better luck.

That's just a cop out. Everybody can get get a six pack, it's just a matter of frequent, hard excercise (provided you've gotta a pretty okay diet, anyway).
