    I have lost 50+ without stepping in a gym. I highly recommend fitnessblender.com. Great workout vids that really get you sweating and toned. You can find ones from 5 mins to 90 mins depending on your time. Great blend of tabata,cardio,strength training. Once I got more fit, I started running and love it! Good luck!

    Yes. Lost and kept it off for 3 years so far without setting foot in a gym.

    Walk, bike, run, swim, exercise cycle at home on lazy/rainy days. Maybe some pushups and situps if I'm feeling adventurous, lol.

    When i started my weight was 180 Lbs. I wanted to loose 60 lbs. I'm down 30 all from working out from home. In my case working from home is best for me. I can't give myself the excuse about not having time to go to the gym. I have a treadmill and lots of workout videos ranging from 15 min to 45. This works well for me.

    Walk, then walk some more, finally walk some more. Save the DVD's for when its raining, snowing, or so miserably hot that it is dangerous to go out for a walk, in the meantime...walk and drink as much water as you can possibly drink, and then drink some more water. It is free to walk, and free to drink water..It is all I have done...well and logged every morsel of food until I could trust myself to accurately account for my caloric intake. Now I stay at the calories MFP recommends, I walk, and I drink water. It is just that simple, and just that hard.

    Edit: Spend a little money on a Fitbit. Sounds silly, but that stupid little digital pedometer is one motivating little ****.

    I'm down 45lbs so far and don't go to the gym either. I have a treadmill for winter cardio workouts, but I also run (outside in the nice weather) and use DVD's for strength training & abs. You don't NEED a gym membership. You don't NEED a treadmill or any other cardio machines. Just get off your butt and move. There are tons of workout DVD's available on the internet that you can try out. You can buy hand weights if they are required for your workouts. Way less expensive than dishing out a monthly membership fee. You just have to be disciplined and schedule your workout time into your day and you CAN do it without going to the gym.

    I have lost about 80-100 I could say without a gym mostly running but started on a treadmill at the gym dunno if I could have actually done it without the gym exposing myself like that just getting started I dont think I could have done it without the atmosphere. Now I do not belong to a gym and I love my daily runs and do some bodyweight stuff at work (I am very fortunate).

    I lost 70 without a gym. You definitely don't need one, there are so many great opportunities to work out at home. You can go for a walk, do a workout dvd,or just blast some Pandora and dance like crazy :)

    I have lost over 70 lbs and have never stepped foot inside a gym. All my workouts at home - TAEBO, fitnessblender.com, ZUMBA, running...Also have dumbells of varying weights that are incorporated for strength and resistance work. My before and afters are on my profile. Although, I still have another 10-15 to go...
