You can do it! More muscle burns more calories!! 

I have the same problem. I have to drive like 20 minutes to another city where my gym is. It's so worth it though. Think of it as a way of getting stress out of your body from work and school.  

Yes, but as you lose weight you will gain more energy. So aim to get yourself to the gym 3x a week to start. Squeeze it in where you can. If you want something bad enough, you will find a way. Make it a part of your routine, like brushing your teeth or showering. 

WOW! 20 pounds? That is amazing. Keep up the good work, stay determined, and keep your eye on the prize! Even if you can't make it to the gym, go to youtube.com, then search "fitness blender workout". They have a wide range of work outs, low impact, high impact, cardio, strength/weight training & much more. It's great for days you can't make the gym, and one workout video from them burns around 300-1000 calories! "Everything you want is right out of your comfort zone" 

Great work! Just remember that eating quality proteins, fats and healthy veggies is the key to weight loss. My mantra is that the kitchen makes you look good in clothing. The gym makes you look good naked. Weight loss is done in the kitchen, not the gym. Have fun with it. I agree with marissawillbeskinny...fitness blender is great...and free!! You'll get there! 

Thank You all so very much. I really appreciate you all for the support. I am for sure tired of crying about it and ready to make a lifestyle change. 

Amen to that !! Congratulations !!!
