    You'd rather spend money on "excercise" clothes than "regular" clothes!
    Not to mention shoes! I'll happily drop $100 for a pair of running shoes, but will howl if I'm forced to pay more than $30 for non-running shoes. If that's what they call them.

    That's so me! I dropped more than $100 for my Reebok Zigfly's but I'm too cheap to buy any other kind of shose that cost more than $30 unless I've seriously fallen in love with them.

    YES! This is me too!

    Never before in my life have I spent over $100 on shoes until I started running!

    Also - I'd rather spend money signing up for new races than on new work clothes (I'm in desperate need of new work clothes right now, but who wants to spend money on that??)

    Related to this, you know you're into fitness when you're still browsing Amazon.com, but the time you used to spend looking at books you now spend looking at exercise equipment, and dvd's.

    You spend your hours on your work-from-home job reading MFP forums while pretending you're focusing, and since you work from home and use your own equipment, no one has a clue...

    You have a separate drawer/closet for your workout clothes and it's starting to fill up fast.

    You have a Nintendo Wii, but use it only for workout games and nothing else.

    * you find yourself doing squats and lunges to pick things up off the floor instead of bending over.
    * the workout that seemed insanely difficult two months ago is now ridiculously easy (I'm referring to this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2hs1XlLUqIA - A good 20 minute cardio, btw, great for a small space, and not boring in the least!)

    My ideal first date would be a lifting session.

    This.

    Also when you stay up late to launder your work out clothes, because you've been to the gym so many times this week that you don't have any clean ones.

    ...135, 225, and 315 sound like nice, round numbers.

    When you feel illness is not a good enough reason not to go to the gym!

    Never heard of marriage prep classes. Is it some sort of American idealism?

    When your hubby thinks you're up to something just cause you're excited to be doing a HIIT class at the gym.

    On mothers day you drag the whole family round looking for a sports bra.

    You start saving to get a HRM for yourself.

    You go into a clothes store and try on UK size 12 clothes and they look GOOD! Start dancing in changing rooms!

    You ring said hubby to squee over clothing achievement and he says 'wait another month and you'll fit a size 10'.... he believes it will and can be done.

    Edited for spelling

    LOL - when your hubby says "So, you know when you disappear for three hours every Sunday morning... and come back all hot and sweaty... should I be worried?"

    You know you're into fitness when.....

    1) You don't look at other girl's outfits anymore - you look at their *kitten* to see if they squat.
    2) Your friends come to you for lifting and diet advice
    3) Your eye twitches and you double face palm when you hear your friend saying she just wants to 'tone up'.
    4) Your sports bras and yoga pants are taking over your wardrobe.
    5) You grab heavy shopping bags from your BF and insist you want to carry them.
