    This is very encouraging. I too work out at home, on my bike and with free weights (2lb and 7lb). I am curious how long it took you to lose 22 lbs?

    It took 15 months to loose the weight, slow isn't it compared to others on this site? My goal was another 3lbs but for the last 4 months my weight won't budge, it fluctuates by a 1lb so I've decided to maintain instead.

    No I've never tried bands, I did buy a weighted hula hoop though, awesome workout but I'm no good at it, I spent most of my time bending to pick it up lol.

    You look amazing! Way to go. :)

    And I have to say, I totally agree with you. I think I've toned more and dropped more inches (though I still have a loooong way to go yet) in the 6 months since I left my gym than I did in the entire year I was there. It's amazing what you can do at home once you give yourself permission to do it.

    You look amazing! Thank you for sharing. You have truly motivated me. I can't afford the gym, either--and the nearest one is many miles from my house!

    Hiya,

    For those of you who like me cannot afford a gym membership you can still reach your fitness goals.

    My results were achieved at home using YouTube workouts, a set of 1lb and then up to 3lb dumbells, a bicycle and of course MFP.

    I've lost in total 22lbs, dropped 2 dress sizes and 4" from my waist.

    You look great! And you're right, a gym is an option, not a necessity.

    Love this. I didnt think it would be possible for me to get these type of results at home. More reason for me to what I am doing and stick with it.

    You look fabulous!!! I've always been a big fan of working out at home. It's convenient and a big timesaver. You don't need a gym membership and 1000 pounds of weights....you just need determination, willpower, commonsense and a good healthy diet and you're own body!!
