I find some of the other members intimidating, but just like avoiding the sweets, I keep my eye on the prize and ignore the obstacles. I love the cardio theater at Gold's and also do the circuit. I normally use my ipod, but it died this week.

I know how you feel. My gym is a total meat market so there's a lot of socializing going on. Many of the women have full make up at 8am. I doubt they even want to break a sweat! I go with my dh and I pretty much just roll out of bed and go. lol The other day I went alone and I decided to venture upstairs to the weight area and I felt so lost and intimidated. I felt like such an ugly duckling and could feel the eyes on me. If I felt more comfortable, I would have stuck around and figured out the machines. I used to work out and teach aerobics in an all-women gym so I do know my way around a gym. I just felt so insecure! Ugh, I hate that I felt that way! I will either hire a personal trainer or go to the weight area when it's not so busy.
