in Introduce Yourself
To all the girls afraid of going to the gym because they are self conscious: Go there and kick *kitten*. You’re beautiful, be proud. Its your body, this is for you. Not for the people who are at the gym, not for anyone else, you. Focus on you. Who gives a **** what anyone else thinks, YOU are making YOURSELF better and that sure as hell beats all the people at home sitting on the couch.

    You're the BEST!! A lot of us ladies needed to hear that, I know I did. I'm adding you as a friend, and anyone can add me. Have a good one!

    Thank you for posting that, I get very self conscious at the gym and at times feel uncomfortable. But then I remember, I am a paying member and have just as much right to be there as anyone else. :)

    Damn right :)
    I often feel dreadful walking into the gym a lot bigger than the other girls in there, but walking out knowing I've burned 500/600 calories and I'm doing something about it makes me feel amazing.

    Thanks :)

    Thanks much! I get a bit self conscious at the gym (especially when I'm grunting and moving up a weight). Good motivation! :bigsmile: :drinker:

    I, too want to say thank you. I have been hesitant to even join my newly opened gym in town. I'm going to do it! :-)

    After a lifetime of being told you're not good enough... simple words from a stranger can mean more to someone than you could ever imagine.

    Thank you.
