I'm sure I am actually the "funniest" one at the gym (henceforth my name of FITPHOBIA). The gym that I do go to once in a while had the weight/cardio room remodelled so decided to check it out. When I exercise, I sweat SO, SO bad that my glasses slip off, so I entered the room and immediately put my glasses on the shelf…

All great suggestions. I broke down last night and went and bought an iPhone - so I can download music to walk to plus have downloaded the mobile app for MFP - that way I should be able to enter food where ever I am instead of having to try to "remember" what I ate :-)

Aqua aerobics.....that shouldn't be too hard on the joints :-) ..... I'll ask around if there are classes anywhere near here.

@ Jake - everything you say makes sense - guess maybe it's fear of the unknown as opposed to where I am...... Looking forward to Tuesday July 2nd when my cupboard has been filled with healthier food, I have handfuls of easy recipes, and have checked out some exercise options :-)

I think I probably have too over my life time

Thanks for the encouragement everyone!!! I tried the food tracker today and will be looking to see where I go wrong in the next few days before "D-Day" - today I was under calories but wayyyyyy over in the sugars and wayyyy under the protein. Will be looking where to adjust in the next few days.

The slow cooker is a great idea.....I will have to get some recipe ideas (besides my meatballs)

Oh - haven't discovered the recipe boards yet. Thanks for the great advice :-) Potatoes with a little cheese? Sounds yummy.... I guess I have to "re-think" the diet food idea....cheese used to be a no-no...but it would spruce up a lot of things and add a good flavour.....

Good points :-) I'll try walking some (might start tonight) but worried about getting too far and not getting back (I'll make sure I take my cell phone). The knees can't handle the stairs right now, but maybe in time when the physiotherapist does her magic. Like the idea of a cooking day!!!!! If I can come home and grab…

Hi! Hope you do well with your new lifestyle. We all here are up for many challenges - but I think we can do it!

Hi - Hope you are successful. Although I signed up for this site a while ago, today is the first day I have been reading and have set the date of July 2nd as my day for a new lifestyle (I thought it would be best to get the holiday weekend over first and give myself time to plan). Keep us posted on your progress :-)
