1. It's time for your weekly weigh-in, so you step on the scale. What's your reaction to what it reads?
  "That's it?! But I went for a walk on Tuesday!"
  "Hmm. A pound lost is okay, but next week I have to lose more."
  "Yes! One more successful week - slow but steady."
 
2. For years you've wanted to start running, and today you're actually going to give it a go. How do you feel?
  Excited but calm. I'm going to take this nice and easy.
  Nervous. I wonder if I'll get back in time for my TV show?
  Motivated! This is the first day of a whole new me!
 
3. You see a picture of a supermodel with a firm stomach. 'If only I looked like that' you say. What do you do?
  Vow to do 100 crunches before bed, every night, no excuses.
  Put the picture in my gym bag, so it motivates me when I go for a long walk or run. First things first: I have to get this weight off!
  Nothing. I was born with this body, so I'd better start learning to live with it.
 
4. You're shopping online for some good exercise videotapes. Which are you more likely to choose?
  None of them. I can walk around the block if I really want to exercise.
  A routine that guarantees fast results.
  Something that lets me start off as a beginner, then move up when I'm ready. I'm looking for a long-term investment!
 
5. Which mantra is most applicable when it comes to you and exercise?
  Patience is a virtue.
  Forgive and forget.
  Go for the gold.
