Just wanted to thank everyone for their responses. As of today, I'm an official member of the local Y and summer classes start in June. I'm anxious, but I have a friend who joined with me so I'm excited to start trying some new workouts and to hopefully conquer my fear with a new love for working out!

Thank you all for the ideas! My coworker also mentioned that she freezes fruit for her water. Then it doubles as added flavor & help keeps it cold. Looks like I should have lots of ideas to try next month.

Working on giving up soda for sure. My problem with coffee is that I like the cold, blended fattening ones, however save it as a treat if I'm stuck working on the weekends. But I probably need to find something to replace those as well.

Great idea with the challenge!

I'll have to try that this summer.....if summer ever gets here!

I can relate to that! From Wisconsin :drinker:

It's my first week here too, feel free to add me too!

Love this one, its SO true!

Thanks to all of you for responding! I've contacted a local YMCA to see if I can set up a meeting & get a tour. Things to do this weekend included updating the music on my Ipod & shopping for some workout clothes! One step at a time.....

I'm new to this too & from WI, feel free to add me :smile:

I needed to hear that too :happy:

I never thought of it that way before!

THIS is what I know I need to do & I'm glad people can relate & that people have overcome their fears. I'm trying to get into a routine at home, but have you ever tried using a treadmill when your dog thinks its fun to put her toys on there b/c they go flying off the end or doing a DVD w/ a 70 lb dog trying to "play"…

Congrats on the no smoking! Its one of my goals I'm working on right now & I'm new here too, although it says I signed up two years ago. Feel free to add me :smile:

I joined back in 2011 (I guess) but this is my first week using MFP....anyone is free to add me!

New to MFP too. Feel free to add me & we can prove together that your friend is right and this site works :smile:

Feel free to add me! I'm new to MFP and the more the merrier when it comes to motivation and support!

I consider myself a pro at quitting smoking b/c I've done it so many times. Its the staying a non-smoker, I can't seem to manage. I think you have to look at it as "tomorrow is a new day!" Don't let slip ups discourage you from your long term goals!

New to MFP & am loving all the posts on here so far & wanted to play along. Feel free to add me. 1. Met my husband when we stood up together in a wedding 8 years ago 2. I may post as many pictures of my German Shephard on Facebook as people do of there children, but I don't care b/c I LOVE her! 3. Have a fear of frogs…

33 year old looking to quit smoking & get healthy too! Not a mom yet but maybe someday :) I'll add you & we can do this together!

Thanks for the friend request. Congrats on the 7lbs lost so far, looks like you are off to a great start!

Wow, a nonsmoker for 7 years! I hope 7 years from now I can say the same thing!

New to this group and new to MFP even though it says I joined two years ago :ohwell: .....from Appleton, WI
