To think that hard work and perseverance could be pleasurable. I have also had a similar struggle with weight lose and being more conscious of my health. Finding out at age twenty-seven that I was Diabetic and mildly, to say the least over weight. After speaking to a Doctor about my diet she had given me a target weight that was 40 to 60 pounds lighter than I was at the time. So I decided that it was time to lose the belly fat and get rid of the love handles. I looked into exercising with everything from abdominal equipment to free-weights. I had little luck of shedding the pounds till I really decided to approach both aspects of physical health.
I used a treadmill for the cardio and some free-weights with some machines for toning not to mention a little bodybuilding. I looked for diets that really worked for my condition and me. Low carb was the way, I had to plan the diet to lower my carb intake but not starve myself. I found a diet that worked with fruits and veggies to help keep me my carbs at a normal range but with a natural approach. I had to increase the amount of protein I had, to help keep myself in check with the current change in physical condition. I really do feel much more energetic and refreshed from dropping quite a few pounds so in short it is pleasurable to lose weight.
