I signed up for the local gym today!!! I'm excited to get this weight moving again!!! This is the first time i have ever been to a gym and I am kinda nervous!!!!! I'm 50 pounds down with 50 more to go!!!! Im ready!!!!!!

Congrats on your weight loss...I was thinking of going to the gym but I cant even commit to walking my neighborhood everyday so I dont want to waste the money...

Hope you can keep with it and lose that other 50lbs

That was me! I have a walking trail close to my house... but i seem to do a lot more when I pay for it! haha

Good Luck Princess. I know exactly what you mean as I am starting Zumba this coming Tuesday night. It's hard to imagine being able to move my 213 pound body to all those moves (oh and by the way I am only 4' 11''), but I'm sure going to give it a try. I've found out in this weight loss journey of mine that I at least have to try and if I don't exactly get to the point of where I hoped I would, at least I do have the satisfaction of saying I tried which I don't know about you guys, but it's a whole lot more than what I was doing before the LapBand. LOL Anyway good luck and give it all you got. Connie

Congrats!! Joining a gym was key for me as far as committing to exercise. Since I'm paying, I might as well go. Now I belong to a regular gym, cross training class (we pay for a certain number of classes per month) and a spinning class (I pay for 8 classes at a time). I love the variety - it keeps it really interesting and most importantly, it keeps me going. I feel so much better now that I'm working out and my body is definitely changing (I actually am starting to have a shape). Good luck with your first gym membership and don't be nervous!

Change is good...Good luck!

Thanks for the support everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good job joining a gym.

I joined a local gym 6 months ago in hopes of starting a gut busting work out routine. Well I just started last Monday night! My first night I had a two hour work out. ( The first hour was getting my butt up off the couch!)

I am starting out slow. Light weights on the machines one night and treadmill the next night. I don't want to hurt something and get off track right from the beginning. I'm going for 4 nights a week.

Congrats on joining the gym. I go to 24 hr Fitness and it was the best decision. I never liked exercising in the past and now I go right after work and its such a stress reliever. I've made that my "ME" time. I have come to enjoy exercising (most of the time that is ) My partner says that I am obsessed and maybe I am just a bit, but I rather be obsessed about exercising than being obsessed with food! Well anyway....enjoy yourself!
