Did you try to find a workout you actually liked?

I hate the idea of running a mile, but I'll swim any day.

My dude, I totally appreciate that you're trying to help, and please don't stop encouraging people to work out because it REALLY DOES WORK for most people, but I spent the better part of a decade doing all kinds of things, from yoga to iron man segments, and not a single thing was enjoyable beyond the small amount of satisfaction of having done something hard and finished it.

I dropped 120lbs, and have stayed relatively the same weight since 2015, even with all the other stuff.

So I'm sure I learned more healthy habits, hence the weight being kept off, and I don't regret a second of it, I have no desire to try again.

The only working out now is biking for enjoyment with my wife. And also when she feels the desire to go to the gym, I go with her.
