I bit the bullet
 

IM joining a gym today. Its right across the street from work so I'll be able to work out during my lunch break. Step in the right direction.:carrot:

:bravo: That's a big one! Be sure to get an orientation to the equipment--and have fun! We'll be looking forward to hearing about your gym experience.

Congrats :)

Thanks! I go for my assessment next Wed so I'll be sure to post all the embrassing numbers for ALL to see. I also contacted the prayer team at church and asked them to pray for my food addiction and for God to heal the hurts that Im trying to bury with food. I was 226 this morning.

Congratulations. I just joined one as well and I'm really enjoying it.

I have to admit; I skipped the assessment. I already know I'm fat and out of shape and I'm pretty sure I'll recognize being thin and fit when I see it. :)

:bravo: on joining a gym!! Happy working out days!! :)

With each of you that do this, I'm one step closer to following in your foot steps... You're taking away all of my excuses!

Yay! You'll enjoy it. Once I got over the fear and went in it was a blast. Nothing like I feared it would be, and I really enjoy being able to use the various equipments. Location is important and it sounds like you picked one that's in a great spot.

Im on the way this morning to work out!! Im dropping my daughter off at VBS and Im on the way to a healthier me.

Enjoy!

The assessment showed I have 31.9% body fat and weighed in at 223lbs. I also went to a weight loss Dr yesterday and got adipex. He gave me a diet plan for 1500 calories. I really liked how there is even a fast foods menu of things I can eat. The only downfall is I can have 1 c. of tea a day. I love my sweet tea!!!!! Im going to start the diet and meds on Monday as we are going out of town this weekend.

Good luck to you Cara. You're doing just great!!! :)

Good for you on joining a gym. Me and my family recently joined one. I am having a great time with it so far. I thought I'd be too embarrassed to work out with all the skinney people in there, but they keep to themselves and so do I. I tell myself when I am in there that "I don't care about what they are thinking, I am here for me. I pay dues here just like they do".

Keep us informed on how it is going!
