Hi,
I cycle in and out to work - 25 minutes in, 35 minutes home up a moderate hill, 10kms each way. 1 hour cardio each day plus I beat the traffic and I lose weight. Win, win.

thats absolutely great @tomnev1! Best of luck for your goals

Hi, my starting weight was 203lbs when I decided enough was enough and to do something about it. I didn't join a gym, just cut out certain foods and started exercising at home. I began with jillian michaels 30 day shred and progressed to speed walking, jogging and jumping with a weighted rope. I also got some 4lbs dumb bells. So far so good. The last time I stepped on the scale I was 25lbs down. Haven't been on one lately because my time of the month has me extremely bloated so I won't bother until it's done but am still trying to get my exercise in. I still would like to join a gym since I would like to start lifting but have no idea how to but for now I do everyone thing at home.

thats awesome girls! Well done
i actually despise the gym so i decided i wouldn't join one and instead work out at home.
I began eating healthy and walk briskly for an hour atleast 4 times a week and dance for half an hour along with strength training with 10lbs and 5 lbs dumbells

Hi there! Congratulations with your weight loss and staying committed!

I have lost 80 lbs and have been maintaining for over two years. Haven't stepped one foot in a gym.

I workout at home doing exercise dvd's (example: Leslie Sansone, Cathe Friedrich, The FIRM Workouts), Youtube workouts (I love Jessica Smith and Fitness Blender), I walk outdoors, lift weights and I enjoy doing bodyweight exercises.

Of course I had to look at what and how much I was eating as well.

Keep up the good work!

@rainbow198 80 lbs is just amazing and that too without stepping foot in a gym!! plus maintaining it for 2 years its absolutely amazing
my routine is almost just like u. Love leslie's walking videos

Great job on your weight losses ladies!

I've lost 90lbs just working out at home and counting calories. I eat between 1500-1800 and my workouts include fitness blender, Jessica Smith, Jillian Michael's dvds, dance fitness with Jessica, running and walking at the track.

niharikashukla28

90 lbs!! woahh!! thats great @chesnity3
we people who workout at home have such similar workouts

rainbow198

Thank you @niharikashukla28 and nice job on your 90 lbs loss @chesnity3! How much more are you planning to lose.

It's funny how most of us are doing similar workouts!

I walk and run every day. do aerial yoga for at least an hour 2-3 times a week. I started adding angled pull ups and angled pushups. I could probably used to focus on the abdominal area as well. I want a nice stomach when I lose the layer of fat covering it via my cardio.

I've lost nearly 20lbs since January. I do wish it was more, but slow and steady wins the race

No gym here and close to the finish line

chesnity3

Thanks ladies! I'm 5'3 and started out at 260 so the range for my height is 141-105. I want to be 130 to have wiggle room to go up if I need to.

I do go to a gym a few days a week . An employee helps me weight train. However I enjoy Dance Fitness With Jessica on YouTube at home. Thought I'd mention that. :-)
After my son I lost 30+ lbs at home before hitting a road block. I did 30 day shred and walked 3 days a week.

75 pounds down, and no gym time. The occasional weight lifting session with my roommate's personal trainer, and I walk about two miles a day, 3 to 5 days a week.

I workout at home, I did it before and in 19 months i dropped 156lbs, i gained 200lbs when I quit smoking replacing that habit with food, I gained some back since then and im back at it now, lost a total of 32lbs in the last 7 weeks for a total of 92lbs lost and 108 left to my goal

triciab79

So I do go to the gym now but the before and after pic I am posting was achieved before I joined the gym. I lost 100lbs without a gym or fancy diet plan, pill, method ect.


Oh and I have kept it off for almost 3yrs. I joined the gym in Nov of last year to get muscles for the Thor costume in my profile pic.

Amazing job!!

When I started losing weight I did join a gym but felt very self conscious and didn't reach my full potential. I also found working on the machines really dull and repetitive. I discovered I enjoyed yoga and dancing and started running. I'm very slow, only run about 30 minutes three times a week but I enjoy doing it wholeheartedly, it's not a chore. I love love love yoga and dancing, I got home dvds and follow youtube tutorials, I look forward to coming home and exercising every day. I've lost more weight in the last 2 months without a gym membership than I did in 6 months with one.

I think it's a matter of finding what you love and doing what works for you.

Congratulations on the inspiring weight loss again!
