Wow, you're doing great!! I envy your tiny arms
And yes, I do see a big difference!
How's fitness facilities where you live? They're quite good here, so much to choose from
I'm not a big group person, so I like solitary things. At the moment I'm just walking with my iPod on (is it realistic for you to walk more, even just as a basis for new exercise habits?). I love speed skating (wish I could go more often
), and swimming. I don't mind the gym but I wouldn't say it's my favourite (no ££ for a membership right now, so I'll see later if my tastes have changed!). How do you feel about doing DVDs? If you have good self-discipline a short one might be the way to go. I just ordered 30 Day Shred as so many people rave about it, and it's under 30 mins
Maybe worth a try? Can you go rollerblading or do a C25K? If team sports are more appealing, are there any you can join? Roller derby? Snowboarding? Dance classes? Studying while on the elliptical, if you can pick one up? If the gym's just too boring, maybe martial arts to focus your mind as well, or yoga? I know it doesn't burn major calories, but if you enjoy it, it might be worth a shot? I'm going to try the climbing wall with a friend soon, maybe that?
Maybe you need a combination of things that just don't feel like EXERCISE. Is there a charity bike run you can train for, or something along those lines? Sorry, just spouting off every thing that's coming into my head!!
Anyway, congrats again, and I'm sure you'll find something you enjoy with a bit of experimentation!
