in Introduce Yourself
Hey everyone. I came on here to try and motivate myself a little more to lose weight. I'm 20 years old and am obese by 90lbs. I need help. I have a hard time putting myself to work to work out and have no motivation. I would like to go to a gym and since I have yet to find a gym with no membership fee, I have yet to go. I have no job and no money to go to a gym.

Well, I don't know what else to say so, that 's it I guess...

    I understand not having any money. My husband is on social security and I am on disability. I found a gym for $29.00 a month, but I haven't gone in months due to having to move my parents out of their house and into a tiny independent living apartment then having major abdominal surgery to repair multiple hernias. I have motivation problems, too, but I am insisting on going to the gym tomorrow. You can always go to a mall and walk there for exercise or purchase an exercise video to do at home. They don't cost too much. My name is Kimberlee, 49, and I lost all my wt. in 14 months time. You can do this and logging all your food everyday and having a lg. group of friends that are struggling with similar issues really can help and it is free. Feel free to add me for support and encouragement.

    Hi..welcome to MFP...you are taking the first step to make a change. I just sent you a friend request :smile:

    I don't go to a gym either - because of cost and its hard to fit in to my schedule. So I just walk and use my old exercise dvds and my stationary bike. So try to walk every day! Good luck and everyone here is really supportive!

    There are gyms that will allow pay as you go daily fees. YMCA's & YWCA's often have scaled fees based on what you can afford but you have to ask them for it.
    Ultimately though, if you are motivated enough, you don't need a gym. A gym makes it easier, but if you don't actually go and use it, it's a waste.
    All you need is a pair of comfortable shoes, desire, willingness to change your eating habits, and support from friends.
    We're here for you.
