Anyone have trouble starting to exercise because of your starting weight? I in the process of completing my app'ts so I can get the ins. to approve the surgery and we're estimating sometimes mid to end Dec. I am 5'4" at 245 and have the fear of going out to walk because I know I'll be out of breath and afraid people driving by will think I'm so fat! This has been a fear for mine for a long time, resulting in no exercise. I feel awful physically. My dh got me a membership at the Y and I dont go. My Nutionistist told me to start now, 10 mins at a time. I still have the fear to go out looking the way I do. Am I the only one that feels this way? Any recommendations?

Okay, so what's the format here? I see C25K a lot, but I see a lot of other stuff, too. :mad:

I like the accountability, and am looking for a new excercise thread to join.

Stefanie, basically we just post what we've done in regards to exercise. Any and all exercise. And we create a new thread for each new month.

Usually I'll post in the morning what I've done the night before, and sometimes things that I know are coming up, like appointments with personal trainers, classes, challenges, etc.

There are a few of us doing the couch to 5k program, and there is a seperate thread for that, but we do post here that we've done each workout because it is part of our exercise program. We also support each other when we fall off the wagon, like the time I ate a lot of mini milky ways.....:mad:

You are more than welcome to join us!:clap2:

Honestly, don't worry about what you look like. I had that problem in the beginning and it really hindered my weight loss. Just think, everyone at the Y will be thinking the same thing about themselves. Nobody will even look at you because their too busy thinking about themselves. So get in there, and hop on a treadmill, or elliptical, or bike, and start moving. And only go for 10 minutes. Next week, you can go for 11 minutes. And the next 12 minutes. Take it slow, you'll see that each week your not only going to get better and be able to go longer, but your gonna look better too!

Wonderful! It sounds like the folks here are pretty active, is that right? (I'm a gym and cycling addict!)

Yeah, and I've noticed over the past few months, we're getting more and more active. I saw you on the bicycling thread so I know how active you are!!!
