It is tuff around the holidays. I did so awful too. I want to do a lifestyle change in the new year also. I also want to start exercising. You can do it!  

On the bright side, you might have lost and gained, but if you had stayed off plan, then it might have been a really big gain. So you are a head of the game. With the exercise, you need to just suck it up and start doing something. Start with 30 minutes 3 times a week. Get yourself a new workout outfit. You can even start with walking outside 3x a week to start. Once you do something for a few weeks, it becomes a habit. If you live where it's cold, bundle up with layers. Focus on losing 10% of your current weight. It puts it in smaller increments and you would not believe how good it feels to just lose 10%. Start the day after new years. Get yourself excited about the new you. Find your motivation or use your determination.
