Thank you :) And thank you everyone. I went into the weights room today, the guy who runs the gym was really nice and helpful, he showed me what to use to tone me arms and how many reps to do, he later walked past and said "you got it!" :) I. Really excited about this, the people in there seem very nice. I can't wait to…

Thank u I just spoke to the guy who runs it, he was really nice and told me I can ask him if I have any questions :)

I don't mean to offend anyone by saying fat and fit, I guess I'm just used to saying I'm fat

Lol thank you, yeah I had a guy ask me the other day if I'm from England. He fell off the elliptical and glanced over at me, I took my headphones out and told him not to worry, I did the same thing yesterday, forgetting I have an accent, after that he kept talking to me lol

And well done, you must feel incredible :)

Yeah that's kind of what I meant, not approaching me as such but them be approachable

They do but I can't really afford one, if I make more sales in my etsy shop or something I may hire him for an hour to get myself some more knowledge, really I'm just going to go on what I can remember from five years ago lol I used to love that one for the inner thighs, I could life 50k back when, but I didn't see that…

:)

I haven't list much weight since going to the gym, but I definitely feel smaller and I enjoy cardio so much, I think I'm addicted already lol

I am looking forward to getting smaller and showing that I'm serious about being there :)

I used to go at 6am before work when I lived in England, it was always dark still lol, it's 6am now in Indiana, it's dark right now lol

Not for my obese self lol

I was wondering the same thing, I best get on it then :)

Around 8am after the kids go to school, depending on if my gym buddy is ready or not, I usually have to wait an hour for her to get ready lol, so more like 9am most days lol

I have some Naproxen here, I may take one after my oatmeal, I'll call the doctor later today. Damn I wish I still lived in England sometimes with the free health care lol

Gah :( ok thank you

7 last night, I was extra tired, usually about 9ish tho

Ok thank you, I'm 35, morbidly obese and fairly unfit, I let my heart rate go between 140-170 during cardio at the gym, I sweat a LOT. So I'm doing it right then :smile:

That's a really good idea, thank you, I may do that tomorrow then :smile:

True, my hip was giving me issues for a few days but it seems ok now. I am obese, I do 20 mins on the upright bike 6 mets, 20 on treadmill, just walking, 5 mets, and another 20 on the lower bike 8 mets. Overall I burn between 550-750 calories depending on my effort

I don't do any vigorous workouts, I do an hour of cardio at a pretty slow pace as I'm so obese (5'3" 242lbs) my heart rate gets to about 150, I only go level 3 pace on the treadmill At most, maybe 3.5 on occasion, level 4 incline at most too and I sweat like crazy on that lol

Thank you :)
