Ahh, I won't hold it against you that you're a Wildcat  I'm a Uconn Husky  
Thanks for the kind words about my suggestions. Just doing what I can to help lol
I think one of the reasons why you haven't started moving yet is because you may be overwhelmed (or underwhelmed) by the amount of activities you can do to affect your body and that you're just not sure where to start. Here's my suggestion since you mentioned the body ball...

Grab this and get to it!
If you're unused to body exercise, or it has been a while, your body needs to get back its flexibility. Your strength is derived from your 'center'. Using this ball CONSISTENTLY (ie- 10-15 mins a day or more), will help you achieve this.
Laziness, is really a comfort state of mind. Been there, done that..and still do it at times But, I have made changes in my life where my personal health and maintaining my body has become an important part of who I am..so I have made it a point to incorporate it into my life.
If working out is a 'sometimes' thing..then yes, the laziness element will always be there.
However, things change DRASTICALLY when you start seeing results..then you want more more and more.
Try it. Ya might just like the exercise ball. I guarantee you that you'll be sore the next day

Jami! My goodness, girl, you're going to work yourself right into the ground!!!!
It sounds like you're almost at your goal, which is such an achievement. And the person running our group, Jeeplaw, had some really great suggestions regarding how to get past the plateau.
For me, I haven't even begun moving yet. I was at work and there was an infomercial on about the "body ball" - this big inflated ball you did all your exercises on. Here I was, fascinated. I nearly got out the credit card.
I'm waiting for the semester to start. From September to December, I'll be at KSU, and I'll have free access to their state of the art gym. Until then, I'm not sure how to get active. I'm flat out lazy (and too broke to pay 45 dollars a month to go to the local gym). Any suggestions, Jeep, on how overcome being lazy?
