The biggest obstacle is me! 🙁
I have this wheezing/cough/out of breath symtoms that get in the way when I try to walk for any length of time or ride my bike. I get shortness of breath and then have to cough.
I suggest asking your doctor to get pulmonary function tests done.
The biggest obstacle I have is that the gym I go to (Community Centre) does not have enough machines. I go to the gym and I have to wait at least 40 minutes before I can use any of the cardio machines.
Lack of time and energy.
my biggest obstacle is not knowing what to do in the gym
My biggest obstacle is just a bust Mom of 2 schedule and I hate to admit but also a tad of laziness? I need some motivation. 🙂
Motivation! Need an incentive!
My physical limitations due to injury and chronic pain
Trying to find time nd energy after chasing my 1 year old
My biggest obstacle is recovering from ACL surgery.
My biggest obstacle is simply myself – my brain. I just need to Do it and stop making excuses. There is a GoodLife within walking distance of my house so maybe this is the push I need.
My biggest obstacle as a mom of 3 who works full time is not so much in finding the time, but making the time. Once I get myself there, I do what I need to do, then leave feeling accomplished. I sleep better, feel better physically and best of all, get that confidence back because I know I’m taking good care if myself. And that’s not just good for me but for my family as well
gosh, would you like a list of my excuses…so many… fear, money, laziness, time, i could go on!
My biggest barrier is my laziness 🙂
To me, the biggest obstacle is staying motivated. It’s all mind over matter. We’re all capable of creating and accomplishing our goals. It’s having the will and perseverance to be motivated enough to stick with the program. Great contest! 🙂
My biggest challenge is having the courage to take some me time without feeling guilty of abandoning my family. I’d really love to make this a family habit, but I know it needs to start with me!
First off… Awesome giveaway.
My issue is low back and i am always afraid to hurt it again. Last tine i hurt my back it was trying to work out. Clearly i need assistance in working out properly.
Time. But also the cost for either childcare or somewhere to go in winter. Summer is easier to get on the bike or walk.
My biggest obstacle is time. But not really, because I manage to watch netflix or something at least 2-3 times a week. And now that the kids are old enough to be able to fend for themselves for an hour here or there I really have no excuse.
i lack energy and I hate good BG to the gym by myself.
for me its staying motivated.. most days its a task to get myself in the right frame of mind
Finding the time and the extra cash to join the gym! The 3 month membership would be the motivation I need to get my butt in gear!
I’m handicapped but I’m entering for my mom. Her biggest obstacle is nighttime snacking.
So many things that get in the way!
I work full time and have 2 girls (5&8). My oldest has Selective Mutism so I can’t leave her with many people due to the overwhelming anxiety she feels in new situations. My hubby works long hours and isn’t often able to watch the girls to go to our local gym.
There is a Good Life near my work that I could use on my lunch hour or before I pick my daughters up from after school care. This would be perfect to jump start me to taking care of me!
Finding time in my schedule is my biggest problem!
My biggest obstacle is making a plan and staying motivated during the winter months.
I am the biggest obstacle as I need more motivation to work out and eat right and drink more water. I need to feel better about myself and get moving.
I am a bad procrastinator – I keep thinking I’ll do it later…..and then I realize a month has passed and still, no progress on my health 🙁
my biggest obstacle is budget for healthy food! it’s expensive.
motiivation
My biggest obstacle is my weight. I am very heavy and need to take baby steps and not get discouraged
My biogest obstickle is with very limited mobility due to a back/leg injury is hard to exercise without major pain
My biggest obstacle is motivation. I get going with a routine and then once I miss a day or two I can’t get back on track.
I am a class girl at other gyms i get a rhythm going and they change the classes. Also chocolate is my downfall!
My biggest challenge is motivation….I think it might be easier in a gym vs. doing it alone at home…
Having a good gym with hours that works for my schedule.
Thanks for the great giveaway, Chris!
The biggest obstacle for me is finding the time to exercise. I need to make it a priority, but it hasn’t happened yet.
getting the energy to go to the gym.
My biggest obstacle is me…and combining proper nutrition with my fitness regime.
My biggest obstacle is the weather – I was doing really well for a while, running and whatnot, but this cold weather and snow is killing me. Gah!
Motivation, and not able to stay on track when I start exercising.
My biggest obstacle is myself and not focusing on my end result. I try to keep myself motivated by thinking “you don’t get healthy by standing still” saying this to myself has made me start moving! #IHeartExercise
After recently losing 60 lbs I am finding it hard to get over that hump and this plateau I have been sitting at for the last few months. This is exactly what I need to get me moving forward on my weight loss journey and to firm up my body after this momentous loss. Thank you for an amazing giveaway and the opportunity
Lack of energy.
Finding the time needed to commit
maximizing exercise efficiency in the limited time I have
I’m entering this for my boyfriend. He’s a really motivated guy, but his biggest obstacle is his torn ACL – because of it he gets pain and instability when he runs or plays certain sports. He hasn’t been exercising because of the pain, not knowing what to do, and just unfamiliarity with local gyms. I know Goodlife has some locations nearby with a pool, and that would be perfect to help rehab and strengthen his knees. I heard Goodlife even has physios that could point him towards exercises he can do. The three month membership would be great to start him on the path to getting better… I know he would love this and would go all the time.
Lack of motivation and self-discipline
Too much good food around me!
Do not know which gym to go to.
The biggest obstacle is personal motivation as well as money. I can keep a fitness routine if I am able to attend group fitness classes that I enjoy, but unfortunately a gym membership is not within my budget this year.
Sadly, I could list a bunch of things. Money.. pure laziness.. time. I NEED to get back into my want for a healthy lifestyle… No more being uncomfortable in tanks, swimsuits!
simply getting to the gym!
I just need to go and register
My biggest obstacle, is know how to plan better my daily duties. I study full time and work part time, and is so hard for me have time to cook properly healthy. And I need motivation to start doing gym!!!!
My biggest obstable is my metabolism. I always try to bulk up but my metabolism burns it too quickly. #ForeverBulking
2 of my obstacles are my Schedule and chocolate 🙂
The biggest obstacle is my environment! Can’t seem to workout at home
My biggest obstacle is time. I work full time, and with a 2 hour commute + bed time and time with my daughter, it leaves very little time for me. I really want to FIND time though!
The biggest obstacle I’m facing is trying to undo a lifetime of bad habits. It’s a lot of work, and the extent of the challenge I’m facing feels daunting, but it’s got to get done.
The biggest obstacle is staying injury free.
Right now my biggest obstacle is waiting for my knee replacement. I have been waiting since last June and at last update they were thinking this August. Once that sucker is replaced..I’m gold!
my biggest obstacle, besides me that is, is finding ‘me’ time. We have a treadmill at home that is not being used often enough, but whenever I’m on it one or both kids will come ask for something.
Biggest obstacle is time restraints caused by my job
My biggest obstacle is time
The lack of time! Wish there were more hours in a day
i’m lacking motivation and my couch is just too darn comfy
My biggest obstacle is baby weight. I had three children less than two years apart and they are all under five. I’ve kept ten pounds with each pregnancy. I’ve tried working out at home but with the little ones around its pretty difficult. Having a gym membership just might be what I need. Leaving the kids with my husband for a few hours so I can focus on my self for once would be great. I’ve already made the switch to eating healthy, now I just need to find the time to get physically active. Great giveaway thanks for the chance.
My biggest barrier is motivation!
Lack of time and motivation. 🙁
My biggest obstacle is being able to sustain the required diet changes that need to be made to see results.
Learning not to feel guilty for taking time for myself.
My biggest obstacle is maintaining motivation – keeping at it.
My biggest struggle is the weather. I cant stand going outdoors for a run when the cold hits. 100 degree weather, thats fine, -20 weather, NOPE! I dont have a treadmill so winter tends to be really stagnant
My biggest barrier to exercise is my laziness!
Lapses in willpower.
The motivation to get up and exercise!
My biggest obstacle is the free chocolate at the office.
Eating habits and motivation. I always grab candy as my first go to for food and have a hard time finding motivation to get moving. I love going to the gym but don’t have the funds to do so as of right now and it’s hard to get myself up and moving when I have to find ways to do it on my own without equipment at home
My biggest obstacle is sugar. I’ve cut my intake a lot but still get the cravings for pop and cookies. And it’s so hard as so many of today’s foods are high in sugar, as well as sodium.
Oh to have the metabolism of a 20 year old again.
Biggest obstacle is always time
My biggest obstacle is staying away from the chips and sweets that my husband brings into the house.
The biggest obstacle is time and work, but there’s a goodlife a few blocks away and this would be a good chance to try it out.
Exercise induced asthma

Time, there’s never enough time.

For me, it’s definitely my drive. I never seem to have the drive to workout consistently.

My biggest obstacle is every other excuse.
Trying to find a routine that I enjoy.
time, never got time
Biggest obstacle is lack of motivation
My biggest obstacle is time and motivation.
Wasting time and not having the motivation to commit 100%.
The biggest obstacle? Convincing myself that not only is it worth it to drop 20 pounds, quit smoking and drink less, but convincing myself that’s it’s easier than it looks. I walk by two locations every day on my way to work. I should be in there, exercising, getting healthier and generally extending my lifespan, but I’m not. So yes, the obstacle is my own inability to recognize what’s right in front of me – health = life, and once I get going, it’ll be easier than I thought.
my biggest obstacle is laziness, and wanting to sleep more in the mornings!
My biggest obstacle is my laziness 🙂
My biggest obstacle is my busy school/work schedule, I always find “excuses” to not work out and just need a little motivation!
lack of energy
My biggest obstacle is my lack of self control and willpower
my biggest obstacle is having a new baby who leaves me tired and lacking the energy to get out to exercise!
It’s so tough sticking to a healthy diet!
my biggest obstacle is that I really enjoy unhealthy foods.
My biggest challenge is not having a firm ideal of the workout routine I need!
My biggest obstacle is my own mind. I finish a day at work and the thought of doing exercise just floats out of my head once I eat dinner and hit the couch.
I am trying to get walking in, but just does not seem to fit
The biggest obstacle is laziness.
Procrastination.
Cant focus on a task before getting distracted.
I like to walk, but some of the extreme temps during the winter make it difficult.
My biggest obstacle is that I love food
My biggest obstacle is my lack of discipline. I would go through periods of exercising regularly followed by periods of inactivity. What I need to do is develop a habit and keep at it.
Right now, my current obstacle is actually starting the workout. I have zero motivation to work out right now, due to the cold weather. Honestly, every time it hits -10 or colder, I become super lethargic. Up till early December, I worked out around 10x a week, running over 70km a week. Over the past 7 days, I have ran 0km and have not done any sort of workout. UGHHH!!!!!!!!!!
Biggest obstacle is having motivation to work out after a whole day at work and just want to do nothing afterwards
putting sugar in my tea!
I need to do something just for me! ️Xoxo
Me and time
i know you want to know the biggest obstacle but fear is my biggest issue. The fear that I won’t stay healthy enough to be around for me to watch my daughter get married. Would love this package to get back on the right track.
My asthma has always been an obstacle in allowing me to reach my fitness goals, but I am determined to wean myself off of those puffers one day!
