This!

What C25K app do you have?

Oh, I'm not shy in the least so I am going back to the gym after work to speak with a manager.

:laugh:

I second this. I log EVERYTHING! I don't care if it's the tiniest swig of juice, I log it. That tells me what makes my body lose from week to week.

Thanks! I was a part of the all women fitness center "Curves" when I actually was in shape and I loved it. Sadly, there isn't one by me anymore.

I love this comment! This was me, not growing up eating healthily at all and thought I would be a size 4 my entire life! Well, marriage, a child, and just an unhealthy lifestyle overall took me to a size 12/14. So, this makes me happy to see someone who has such kind words about weight loss. Thanks, so much, and I will…

I walked a mile after I finished the 30 DS yesterday and lifted a little bit of weights before I stretched. I luckily haven't been too sore yet. Hoping that it stays that way.

Thanks, a lot! I have worked out no less than 3-4 days a week since November 25th and I got on the scale on December 15th with a 10 pound loss. I am excited to see what the scale and my measurements are next when I track this Sunday. Good for you. App suppressants and surgery do not teach healthy living most of the time…

Yup, you're right!

Just want to piggy back and let you know that you do not need weights but she uses them in the two videos that I have. I just follow whatever she is doing but you can just do the arm movements like the poster suggested.

Thanks! Way to go on your 99 pound loss. Now, that's encouraging!

Thanks, a lot! I will say that it kind of convinced me to just stay home and keep working out there. It'll save me $300 bucks annually. But your outlook on it is inspiring. Good luck with your journey!

Great encouragement. Thanks!

I also LOL'ed at this analogy because call me slow here, but I honestly didn't get it! The whole bank, money, teller's fault, fat quitters!!!! I don't know what any of it had to do with each other.

Not sure what to really make of your comment so....

Exactly. I understand frustration! I work with know-it-all attorneys for goodness sake but he didn't have to be so damn offensive with the fat quitters comment. I had already let most of his little stupid comments slide.

Yeah, the bank analogy totally threw me off. Nevertheless, you are right.

No, not a Gold's Gym....a work gym with a few annexes. Don't worry! LOL

HUH? Ya lost me there. You have to come up with a better analogy than that one!

LOL @ Do you even lift.....I jokingly said he didn't look like a trainer to him after he made the "fat quitters" comment and he looked at me like I had been the one insulting him the entire time about my lazy coworkers and such!

Just seen that you said the 30 DS was a bit intense. In that case, her 5-mile dvd is a good way to smooth your way into dvd's like the 30 DS. Good luck!

It is very easy walking. I tend to do it when my 8 year old wants to exercise (of course she thinks it is fun). I have her 1 mile dvd, and her 5 mile dvd. You just need light weights and it still gets me pumping a bit. Her voice is extremely annoying though so buyer's beware. She is an excellent motivator during the…

Good luck on going back tonight! You can do it! Also, I don't think he was even talking in terms of goals, regimens, etc....I think he was merely just full of *kitten*! The reason I say this is because he was bad mouthing his coworkers and the convo kept veering to the left on topics that had diddly squat to do with…

I agree! But I wasn't looking for motivation, just some training on lifting weights and a more diverse set of machinery to work out on besides my treadmill. I have been dying to swim and the gym has a pool.

Who said I was looking for a motivator? I am not. I wanted to start some strength training and push myself a little harder than my little weights at home and my treadmill. I wasn't looking for his motivation but a little bit of tact would've sold the use of the gym at the very least!

Well I failed that "challenge" because he wasn't motivating at all. I am looking into LA Fitness right now.

I wanted to make sure I wasn't overreacting and I am going down after work to speak to the manager. I called after we left and still no call back.

I am a big Yelper.....do it whether I have a good or bad experience and figured they weren't on there. Lo and behold, they are! The few reviews on there are bad.

I don't know....I kind of walked out thinking he had a vagina because he was gosipping like a girl!
