Losing weight and getting fitter isn’t really about the body, it’s about the mind.

Find your motivation
You need a motivator, a reason to convince you to get fit or lose weight. It has to be powerful enough to be a catalyst for behavioural change. Put a label on why you want to be different. Good intentions alone won’t necessarily work. These are a few possibilities, but really think about what is the driver for you.
Change how you think about time
There are two versions of yourself: your present self (who you are right now) and your future self (who you want to be). Most of us are terrible at thinking about our future selves – the one who wants to be healthier, thinner, fitter. We instead focus on our present selves – the one who wants instant gratification. Our present selves tend to want quick fixes – but worthwhile, meaningful change takes time.
What is it that is standing in your way?
Inertia? Body baggage? Stress? Life? When it comes to exercise and tackling the problems that build up in our bodies as a result of our sedentary lifestyles, sometimes people are also scared to make a first step, because they say they don’t want to upset the balance that they have going in case it gets worse. But it will get worse if you just keep carrying on. It’ll get worse because you’re not doing anything to fix it.
