I have no equipment and just walk everyday for my cardio. I am looking for a total body workout. My goal is to lose weight and tone.

I am looking at used on a local ad and saw one for 50 or 60 dollars. It does not come with cables, dvd or pump though.

Hi I am 46, I have a 14 year old son and 17 year old daughter who is senior. I have about 60 pounds to lose and I am having hard time sticking to any plan. I hate to exercise.

I saw results in my stomach when I got closer to my goal weight. Its the last place for me to lose. You see will results just be patience and you will get there.

Is there anyway I can view these on my TV?

My stomach is the first place I gain and the last to go. I didn't start losing in my stomach until I got closer to my goal. Just keep on losing fat.

It was better today. I drank more water and no headache. I felt great!

Ok Ty! I took this class a few years ago and loved it and did it for 2 years and this has never happened to me but I was younger and not as heavy. I was in better shape then.

They do but we don't qualify. My husbands old job we did. I love exercise classes and they motivate me more. I have a lot of exercise DVDs and they are collecting dust.

TY! I want to get back to the Y and get back into my old spinning class, that helped me a lot and I saw great results. I am embarrassed to go back with all of my weight. Plus the Y is expensive and my husband thinks it not worth it but I do. I tired 24 hour fitness and I didn't like it. To crowded, classes were full. My Y…

TY! I figure I don't spend a lot on myself, clothes and etc, get out of the house meet new people. All of my friends work. He thinks fitness can be done at no charge and it can be but I find working out by myself is boring. I remember him telling how good I looked especially (lower body) it was all from spinning. I will…

TY for everyone's advice, yes sometimes I feel like since he works and makes the pay check it gets more say in what we spend, but it should not be like that. Marriage is 50/50.

I asked them if I could volunteer/work and they said no, we don't qualify for financial assistance. I don't spend a lot for myself on clothes and etc.. he keeps on saying that I have to exercise and he is worried about my health.

TY I will think about what I could cut down. But I really don't think its about if we could afford it, its more about my husband thinking 50/month is not worth it for the Y. I would enjoy exercise more if I was in a group class. I lost a lot on inches from spinning. If I worked things would be different.

TY for all of your support. I have used MFP in the past but I never stick to it or exercise. I don't even know how much I weigh now and I know it will keep on going up if I don't start doing something about it. Its not healthy and I don't like myself at this weight.

TY for all of you responses! I would love to go back to my Y but I just can't afford 65/a month! It's cheaper at 24. I tried and I have lots of dvd's at home. I thought about a treadmill in the house but at the gym I would have more access to other machines then just a treadmill. I went once to the gym and did the…

I have them and I wish that I never got them! It was a gift to myself for reaching goal weight, I had a lift/implants, I had a hard time recovering. I never fully recovered from the first surgery and a year later I had to have another surgery to fix problems. You should have them replaced every 10-15 years and my husband…

La Mirada, CA!

You are doing great! Add me always looking for friends!:smile:

TY for all of your advice!! I was a member of La fitness about 13 years ago and I hated it! The classes were so full, lines to wait for the machines and this was at 9am.

TY! I will try and eat more today!!

TY for all of your responses. I thought mine was high because of where I live, but it doesn't look like it. I miss the Y but I don't think it's worth it. My Y is old, small and it needs to be painted. They get new machines but it's from the other Y across town, the one across town is a new building and when they get new…

I live in Southern California so maybe that's why it's so much. I was on scholarship and then my husband started a new job and now we make too much, we are not over by much. I asked if I could volunteer and help out but they said no. I miss it so much! I love the small classes, nice people and my spinning class!! It goes…

I used to love the Y and was a member for about 8 years. Now I can't afford it anymore, every year the price goes up and now it would cost me 56/month for just my membership. That's way too much! My Y is old and small and I don't think it's worth it. I thought the Y was suppose less then other gyms, and mine is not. I miss…

TY! I will look in to it!
