Is there a point to lift weights at this weight?

Thanks.... I just wish I had a home gym. I hate hate hate going to the gym and trying to lift weights. I feel like everyone is starring at me..... I am going to give it a try and see if it will help my weight loss. I have to do something I can't stand being this way anymore.

We started off very cheap with our home gym, I think it was a 50 kilo weight set for $49, then a $60 bench and other little things, now we put the good stuff on layby and have a fairly cool gym, it just takes time (like everything else)

If your local gym offers training sessions you might consider hiring a trainer. Or ask one of the staff to walk you around the gym.

My wife and I hired a trainer from the local gym and, for us, it has been worthwhile. You don't need a lot of sessions; just someone to introduce you to the gym and get you started.

Once you are there for a while you'll realize that there are not a lot of GQ or Vogue models walking around. Most everybody is in the same boat; some are a little more fit; some are carrying a bit more weight; everybody has the same basic goal.

Having a workout partner is also very motivating and comforting. Do you have anybody that you could workout with?

I always enjoyed weight training. Did it at 260 lb.. I think carrying that kind of weight. doing weight training and drinking a ton of milk as a child is reason I have really strong bones at 64. The drinking whole milk and all the great things you make from it, is part of the reason for the 260 lbs. I think weight training helps me firm up more and feel good. I just enjoy it.
