    Like this convo :) saving it for later.
    I tried the gym that didn't really work for me. Doing JM 30 days and changing diet so far so good.
    Some very inspirational ppl on here, thanks :)

    Did it all by myself! Never stepped foot in a gym. I walked HEAPS when I first started but now I am focusing on dumbell workouts and walking/jogging.

    I dont gym or excercise- except my 15min walk to work about 3 days a week and went from 69kg to 55kg in 5.5months after my son was born. I was 74kg before delivery, but lost the 6 kg immidiately after delivery so I dont count that. I will load a picture of my huge pregnancy body on my profile and my current profile pic was taken last week.

    I didn't use a gym at all. I have an elliptical in the basement, but i mostly walk...either on a hiking trail by my house, or at the mall before the stores open in the winter.

    Omg you look fantastic!! Great inspiration considering I mostly do walking; I totally enjoy it :)

    I have not stepped foot in a gym in over a year. This is my start photo last year in June, and then my most recent photo that I have. I do Insanity, P90X, and have dabbled a little in Insanity Asylum. I absolutely love the programs. Good luck!

    I love this thread! I went to my gym for months without seeing much of a result. I feel very restricted there. All the guys hog the free weights and the machines isolate one muscle set so you don't get a well rounded workout. I switched to working out at home (which I had never done before) and I LOVE it! I find free workout videos on youtube or use JM 30 day shred workout. Best decision of my life. Sorry no progress photos yet but I think you would be happy with your results. Running/walking/aerobics/yoga/palates all give you a great full body workout that is hard to achieve at the gym unless you do their classes or free weights. And i watch what I eat of course :)

    I have had several different gym memberships in the past 5 years and all I have to say is I was not consistent and I lost a LOT of money. I'm about 60 pounds overweight right now and on my way down. The biggest 2 reasons for my not going to the gym was insecurity and lack of time. I work almost 60 hours a week and getting to the gym was close to impossible, let alone the fact that once I got there, I was very insecure about how I looked on the machines.

    So, I decided to invest in some home gym equipment, an elliptical (Schwinn 420) and some home weights and a wii (with Zumba and Wii-Fitness-Plus. So far, using that and Isagenix, I've lost 18 pounds. I wasn't very active in January because of a hip problem I had that has now resolved itself, but since then, I've been in our "home-gym" almost every other day... it feels great!

    Here's what I got so far from the beginning of the year to the first week of February

    jan-feb_zpsb8681c7c.png
    143 - 137.6.

    I have a spin bike at home and a treadmill (but like you said you run outside)
    And I try to lift twice a week. :)

    AT HOME GYMS FTW!

    Good luck, lovely

    I didn't go to the gym until the 2nd or 3rd week in January. I now realize that heavy lifting is crucial to getting the body I want but I'm sure there are plenty of people who got where they wanted to go without going to a gym :) All of my weightloss was due to a caloric deficit. Zero cardiovascular exercise.
    Wow nice! I'm doing both 60 mins of cardio and -500 calories a day, So I hope I see results soon~
