Hi Everyone!

Some of you might rememeber me..i have been part of this nice little group for about 4 years now but it's kind of a hit and miss for posting..i do keep track of all of you by reading new post almost daily.

I FINALLY did it!

I joined Good Life Fitness yesterday.The new club in my area opens up on Firday at 5:30 and i will be there!

I started this journey at 5'2 and 232lbs/I weigh 162 now.I need to get off my rump and MOVE if i want to lose the rest(i want to get down to 135 and then a TT) and i DO intend to even if it kills me(ok i know exercise won;t kill me but it sure feels like it!!even the thought hurts)i know that i will eventually get into it especially once i see results.I am looking forward to the classes and being happier with myself instead of always saying 'tomorow!'

I have quit smoking too.Yesterday was the official quit day..yeah me!!!!!

I will post to let you know how it's going and also hopefully motivate other non exercisers,geez if i can do it,you can too!!

Salut!:rose::clap2:

I know what you mean about the exercising. I have to make myself walk on the treadmill everyday! Once I get on and get going it goes by pretty quickly, but I HATE EVERY MINUTE!!!

Good for you for joining a fitness center. Just make a commitment and be there everyday. I have come to realize that only I can make the commitment but it sure would be nice (easier) if someone else could do it for me! But no such luck!!

YEAH YOU for quitting smoking!!! What a great thing you have done for yourself! I have never smoked so I do not understand the addiction but it seems that everyone in my family smoked and they have all pretty much quit. I am so glad! You will be amazed at the difference just that will make in your life! My mother smoked for 42 years and quit. She says it made a big difference!!!

Good luck in both endeavors! May God bless you and guide you in your success!!!

I been banded almost 2 months and I only walk 1/2 hour not daily but decided to go to the gym yesterday I was so suprised I was able to be in the stairmaster for 25 min without fainting lol .

I need to make a commitment for my self on this matter . maybe we can all do it together :confused:

I know I am making a progress and got my brother and his friend to start a goal for the month of feb since we all live together we are going to be focuss on fitness even though we dont like it .

take care a good luck on you journey .. people that have lost so much weight and I am only a begginer are inspiring . if you can share experience it would be a thrill .

I know what you mean. Everyday I have to just make myself get up and do something!

Once I get going for about 2 weeks, I love the enegy I have and keep it up. I am 2 days into working out and already feel extra energy.

It is good to keep yourself accountable to people on this board. I have people on 3 threads keeping me accountable and I can't lie!!

So, it has helped me!

Welcome back. Glad you are back on the wagon with your exercise. That is inspiring to me. Good luck.
