Hi Annette! I am so excited to see someone else from Ocean County. I’m from Manahawkin and was sleeved 3/7.

[AnnetteNJ 12]

Sorry for the confusion but I’m not from Ocean county I’m from Bergen County

[NewJerseyMom 3]

Haha I'm the one in Ocean County. You were sleeved one week after me. How is it all going?

Ha! I was so confused. Doing okay - down 25 pounds so far. I have been struggling to get in my Protein and Water so still held back on the diet. I want to get in more time working out, but can’t decide on a gym or exercise routine. I used to go to the Max, but it is expensive and I don’t feel like I have enough energy on the limited diet to get through that work out. How are you doing since you are a week ahead of me? What kind of exercise do you do?

I joined Planet Fitness which is very inexpensive and they have tons of machines. Right now I’m focused on just cardio anything to get a sweat going. I usually do the treadmill or elliptical machine. Having really done the strength training machines yet but will once I lose more.

I'm doing ok,it's just a struggle to get my Protein in. I'm down 60 pounds now. I have back issues so I decided to work with a physical therapist for a few months first. I do that twice a week and it's been working out pretty well for me.

NewJerseyMom, 60 pounds is awesome! You must feel so much better already. And AnnetteNJ, thanks for the tip on Planet Fitness. There are few gyms by me, but there is a Planet Fitness by my job. I will check them out this week.

[AnnetteNJ 12]

You are welcome. You really can’t beat it for $10+ a month and most are open 24/5 so they make it easy to workout according to your schedule. Nice showers and lockers. If you chose the Black membership it’s $20+ but you get to use ANY Planet Fitness facility in the country. I just went to Miami last week and used one and I’m off to a Chicago in 2 weeks with Work and found one 1 block from where I will be staying so it’s good for me. And you can bring a guest with you to work out everyday for free, unlimited.
