I did it! A friend of mine won a contest for a gym membership - $99 for the year and could invite other friends to join with her. I was scared to just even walk in to sign up, but I had to by today or they wouldn't honor it! I didn't work out, my kids were with me, but I'm proud of myself for signing up! I figured I could work up my strength walking on a treadmill and then going from there. When I've worked out in the past, I've always liked going to classes, but I know I won't dare to go in there until some of the weight comes off. I found an old weight loss journal that includes a workout page and a food tracking page, so I made copies for myself and started a new binder. Small changes = big results!

Congratulations on your decision to join the gym. It will not only help in your weight loss journal, but will make you feel so good. Perhaps not at the beginning because you may be a little sore, but it will not take long. Start slow and increase a little every time you go. If you start too fast and get too sore, you will not want to go back. There are plenty of people in the gym who are not in peak shape - but you will be. Good luck to you.

I joined Curves 5 weeks ago. It was a very slow start for me as I was so out of shape but by the second week, I was feeling so much better and had energy that I had not had in a very long time. It'll take time to build up and I've got a long way to go to be in good shape but it's worth hanging in there! Here's wishing you happy workouts!

Thanks. A lot of my friends go to this gym and they have been really supportive during my illnesses these past few years. One of my friends wants me to take classes with her, I told her that I need to build up to classes and just need to do this at my own pace! Knowing that I have them there, it should be easier to get myself to go!
