    Hello everyone

    I have NO motivation what so ever and feel ive lost my confidence to join the gym.

  • Ah, cozy relationship fat. Been there, gained that!

    The hard part is getting started - but by joining the forum you're on the way!

    Scroll through all the sections for ideas. Ask for tips. Good luck!!!! Glad you are here!


  • You don't have to join the gym. I don't go, instead I walk, jog or run outside. There is also the option to exercise to videos at home or buy a 2nd-hand exercise machine

    A good place is to start is the kitchen and to see what foods you can change for healthier options. You can also check the forum for a diet plan (Weight Watcher, Atkins, South Beach) and see what works for you

    You'll be fine! We all believe in you

  • Thanks everyone. I have a hen do this weekend and a 60th birthday next week so my start date is 25th april. I have a cross trainner in the house and im looking into joining our local gym and weight watchers!
  • I say don't join a gym if you're not comfortable going to a gym. So many ladies have admitted to paying a monthly gym fee and never going. That doesn't help your weight loss or your wallet!

    I just started zumba classes on mondays and wednesdays. The other 3 days of the week I walk 2 miles and usually do some other exercise as well. I enjoy this because I can do it at my time, and I don't make excuses to not go to the gym.

    I know you can do it!! Just create a good food plan (sounds like you've got one with WW) and an exercise regiment and you'll get there.
  • Hey, welcome!

    I don't have the £££s or confidence to join a gym yet, but I'm not ruling it out! Walking every day to start off with, and taking sugar out of my drinks worked as a starting point. You don't have to do everything at once if it gets overwhelming!

    I wish you the best of luck, and hope you find 3FC as helpful as I have!
  • Welcome and good luck on your journey!
