I'm a dancer so I have to work out 5 times a week: 3 weight training sessions and 2 cardio sessions It's sucks and I think I'm going to give it up soon 'cause I'm lazy.

Another reason I lift is due to the endorphin rush. I come home and I just sit down with a smile on my face. This feeling last quite a while too. When I don't lift I feel depressed. Whats funny is people who do drugs and drink look for the same edorphin rush, only difference is lifting weights acturally helps you out.

I'm afraid that if I work out at all I'll lose even more weight.

^ You'll probably put on weight 'cause you'll put on muscle.

Good observation...I work out six or seven days a week for this reason...I don't do drugs anymore(weed doesn't count IMO) and going to the gym is my high. I do mostly cardio and a little weight lifting. It has become my habit but I am fortunate because I have a lot of extra time.

I acturally have alot of extra time myself. I have a home tech support company and most of my clients I either go to their house or they drop off their computer and I fix it. Most people I dont hear from until after 5pm. So I have almost the entire day to decide when I want to lift.

I've run into major knee issues in the last three years so I can't really do many leg lifts. I used to lift 4 days a week in high school though... now I'm just a lazy college kid.

It is possible, I have a destroyed right rotary cuff, both knees shot, torn right hamstring and i recently rehabilitated right wrist. All mainly due to car accidents.

You can still lift, You just have to know what parts of your body are bad and what their limits are. With shot knees I can only leg press 500, given they were not I could probably do close to 850. Its frustrating but its just something you have to go though. The same could be said for bench press, I used to bench 310 and now I struggle like a champ on 225 due to my right side. You need to start light and continue to stay light until it feels well enough to move up. It took me almost 4 months to get my body to the point where I could go up in bench press and leg press.
