    You go girl! I was scared to go to the gym once, too. Then I realized that the people there are all in their own worlds. No one cares what anyone else is doing.

    Yay!!! Don't be scared! Great idea getting a trainer ... I did that 50+ pounds into my loss & have never regreted it! He's a lot of the reason why I'm taking my Personal Trainer Certification this very week! GO GIRL!!!

    I've been really slipping backwards since christmas - but your blog has moved me and inspired me to fight to get back onto my own journey. I am screaming and cheering you on - all the way. - Life is like a coin, you can spend it how you like, but we only get to spend it once - so lets be proud and happy while we all do our thing, for ourselves and not for others.

    Lots and lots of luck, support & motivational vibes being sent to you

    You just took the biggest step towards a healthier life! Remember, most of those thin and fit people in that gym were more than likely not always that way and they have to work just hard to maintain their current body. Listen to your trainer and work your tail off while eating right and before you know it you will be a gym rat too! :smile:

    Congrats on taking that scary first step! Once you're there, be on the lookout for a work out buddy too....it's nice to meet someone there and to help keep you accountable to one another--from my experience anyway!

    The first step is the hardest :) I have a lot of weight to lose and remember walking into the gym the first time. I thought "Everyone is staring at me" I know realize I'm the only person concerned about what I'm doing. I work out with a trainer too and love it. I have almost blacked out and almost vomited, but I keep going back because the strength and inner power you gain will be worth it!! It's nice to be able to suddenly do something that you couldn't do or couldn't do well before. Mine was doing planks, I had not been able to do them for 15 seconds, before I broke my arm I was up to 45 seconds before I couldn't hold it.

    I'm so excited for you!! Good luck and know it won't be easy, but it'll be worth it :)

    A journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step.....
