My workouts involve: Running, my elliptical but the majority of the weight I lost was with TurboFire (DVD workout program). I am now working through Les Mills Combat on DVD to trim down and define my muscles.
I have free weights, resistance bands, medicine balls and a good pair of running shoes. Good fitting shoes are important for workouts. Unless of course you workout barefoot.0 -
I'm 5'8", 27, and have 2 kids. I currently weigh 140. I weighed 235 during both pregnancies and was still 215 when my youngest was over a year old in Nov 2009 when I decided to take control of my health and lose the weight. It took me about 6 months to lose 55lbs just through diet and a few home dvds (Shred, Zumba, Denise Austin, running) and I had maintained around 160 ever since. I kind of fell off the exercise and healthy eating wagon about 9 months ago though and was just feeling run down and looking flabby. I started an amazing workout program called Turbofire on 11/12/12 and have lost 20 lbs and toned up all over.
Good luck to you all on your health and fitness journeys! :flowerforyou:

No gym membership for me (never have been to one). We have a mini home gym but I don't use anything but the treadmill and stationary bike. I have lost 74 pounds (was 90 but I gained back 15 over the holidays from eating horribly and not exercising for like 6 weeks).
i usually do daily aerobics/cardio from DVDs. I box one day a week with a heavy bag, speed bag and reflex bag (at our home). I also hit the treadmill to walk at least one day a week. I have dogs to walk but sometimes it is only 10 minutes a day as we have an invisible fence so that is how they get most of their exercise.
I have lost most of my weight by the aerobic cardio DVDs. We have a weight bench and a bowfelx but I have only used them a few times. I also have an old cardio glide that I will occasionaly use. I also play competitive table tennis and bowl so I get that extra exercise a few times each week. I also try to do daily calisthenics.
Feel free to add me as my exercise diary is visible.0 -
Great job everyone! I'm saving this as inspiration!0

I am not a gym person. I have lost 25 pounds slowly, but I was in acceptable BMI quickly. I truly believe in just making sure I move lots and get heart rate up = calories burned so I can eat. I will need to start doing some formal exercise for toning soon, but that will be at home with you tube and DVDs. good luck on your journey!0

Not one day in the gym.... 218 in the before 118 after Don't let not being able to afford or have time for a gym membership stop you from getting healthy. You don't have to have machines to get active.
You can see a bit more about the kinds of exercise I did here if you are interested:

Great story! And thanks for sharing that inspirational website. Lots of other successes there.
I had to give up my gym membership in January. I miss it terribly! But I didn't really start losing weight until I started tracking my calories with MFP. The weight I have lost recently has been done with counting calories and walking.0 -
Bump to read for later0

I'm down 18 lbs since April and have not set foot in a gym. I do have a treadmill in my garage, but I run outside a lot, run on the treadmill, take the occasional yoga class, push ups, jump rope and just started doing some Turbo Fire and P90X. I know that my weight loss is completely and totally from monitoring my cals with MFP and running. I did WW points with little result before I switched over to MFP and now, if I track, I lose. I don't feel like I need a gym at this point, though I may change my mind down the road, just for access to weights and an elliptical. But it can definitely be done without a gym and I prefer not to have an audience when I'm running.0

I've lost 80 lbs doing P90X at home and walking/running
The second pic is just before I ran a Tough Mudder. That's why I had the crazy mohawk :happy:0 -
NO EXCUSE. DROP DOWN AND GIVE ME 20!!!
JK,
you can still achieve some pretty good results with body movements i.e, body squats, push-ups, pull-ups etc.0 -
This is NOT a recent picture. I lost weight previously walking and doing some videos at home. Then I got into EMS and gained weight. This is my goal again. I've never posted a pic so hopefully this works!

I unfortunately don't have photos to post, but I have lost about 44 pounds since the beginning of February 2013. I walk daily. My goal is to walk 45 minutes to an hour a day, but with work, school, and a young daughter at home, I take what I can get. Living in Wisconsin, walking outside was difficult through the winter months, but I forced myself to get out there.
Good luck to you.0
