I am new here and really hoping this works for me! I already lost weight once and got down where I wanted to be, but after 2 years started taking BC pills and gained it all back. Then, I was working and going to college full time and eating like crap which didn't help. Now, I really have no excuse not to get back into shape.

I have been trying to go to the gym everyday to do 20 minute intense intervals of cardio, but haven't been very good about making it everyday. I also definitely need to watch what I'm eating better and cut back on the happy hours out with friends. :smile:

    Hi There!!

    I am new here too. My husband and I just joined a gym. Have been doing great the last two weeks. Hoping the momentum stays. Didn't go yesterday, so that means I have to go tonight. Would love to go in the morning but I want to support my husband and go when he goes. So I'm having to go at night. I will say going at night I do sleep better. But it is so hard to stay up and let my food digest before going to bed. Hopefully that will get easier. As for going to the gym I love doing cario, hate doing weight trainning. Does anybody have any suggestions!??!!?

    Welcome to MFP all 3 of you! Good luck on your fitness goals!

    txdyno14 - I really have no good suggestions for "fun" weight training for you. Have you tried using weighted hand gloves while you do your cardio?
