    I've been called a machine in the making.
    Punctual, focused and barely noticing others around me.
    Moving on autopilot.

    5 months ago I was 505lbs everyone in my gym knew it. I could barely walk a mile in about 40 min's.

    Now more than a hundred pounds later I am the guy flying on the elliptical for 60 min and 4 miles for 1500 calories
    Weightlifting 5 sets of 20 on all the machines alternating between upper and lower body on different days with low weight since I am trying to tone at the same time as build muscle.

    I breath hard and drool a bit. Sometimes I'll even splash my bottle of water all over me. The sight of it is ugly but, the final product it produces is pretty damn nice looking.

    I'm the guy telling you to get the hell out of my basement!

    So I'm the guy who's lifting with White Zombie and Front Line Assembly and Slayer playing too loud for motivation.

    I've never heard the words, "Slayer" and "Too Loud" in the same sentence before and now that I have, it's unsettling

    Now I have shame.

    I'll turn in my metal-head membership card on the way out.

    People would probably view me as crazy cardio, Treadmill running lady. I'm always on the treadmill and running for a long time. the treadmill is mainly all i do at the gym. I noticed that no one stays on the treadmill as long as i do. tons of people get on and off the machines next to me,, and i'm still on for over an hour. i'm a treadmill girl. i love to run.

    I'm the person who wonders why there is a need to text at the gym! Leave your phone in the car or locker! O and if I have m head phones in I don't want to talk to you

    I'm the no nonsense guy. I don't go in with my posse.....I lift heavy. I don't talk much and get in and out.

    Ms. Business right here!

    I get in and I get out.. No messing around with hour long cardio sessions or 5 minute rest breaks in between reps/sets... I keep my rests between 30 seconds and a 1 minute 30 seconds max.

    I'm also the girl that comes in with cute clothes and everything matching.. because I hate it when things don't match.

    I may stop and talk to my trainer but that's about it.... and even then it's a HI, check in to how his day is going/how my day went and then I'm on my way.

    Lol, I'm the Gym Rat that everyone talks about...that sweats a ton, burns a bazillion calories, that goes super intense, and still has the energy to do more if I feel like it ;-)

    I do the cardio/weight training thing..workout 4-6x a week... depending on what's up... I'm a Zumba maniac on top of it...but that's my fun workout...I don't really count that much as a workout..hehe, love to dance!!

    Can it actually be too loud? Not the biggest Slayer fan (Hypocrisy or Grendel are more my workout standards), but I'm the person who is decidedly ignoring the pop-rock that the gym plays since she has a tendency to get her headphones tangled up in the equipment.

    I thank you all for the convo yesterday, which motivated me to stay off the cardio machine as planned lest anyone judge me for being a "cardio bunny" (impossible since I am not rail thin, and am doing interval-intensity cardio at the advice of my doctor and trainer).

    Instead I resorted to my typical Gym personality of "Former competitive swimmer". Meaning, I used to work in a pool, teach group and private swim lessons, and coach teams but now I'm obese so the most I can muster is a consecutive half-mile of breastroke, freestyle, and backstroke, with a half lap of butterfly thrown in. I thank you b/c I truly get a better work-out that way...hitting both cardio and strength at once.

    So, describe yourself at the gym as if you were being judged by a casual observer. I think it sounds fun.


    Aw, this post makes me sad. Don't let a bunch of negative people stop you from doing what you want at the gym.
    Get back on the horse and to he!! with what people on here say. :flowerforyou:

    Oh, no...honestly, I'd rather swim and it's the best workout for me anyway. I was grumpy yesterday reading that post, but after my swim I feel better and back into the humour side of things.
