I have one in my building yet I still haven't been there all year. Last year I was going twice a week with a trainer. I find that, for me anyway, once I've gone about three weeks in a row a couple of times a week I get back in the routine of it and then I miss exercising when I can't go for some reason. <br />The only classes I like are spin classes because they are not co-ordinated (I am so unco, it is not funny!) and there is little strain on my knees. Only prob is I've got a dodgy tailbone which rules out sitting on the bike at the moment. This has been excuse enough for me not to go this year.<br />I think sometimes we have to go, bugger the excuses, no matter what, I'm going to get there, even if it means I sit on a bike or treadmill or whatever and don't even move if I don't want to, as long as the first step of just getting there is taken, because that is the hardest part! Then just take it from there. I defo think though that exercise is the key to getting those kegs off quicker. <br />God, listen to me, I've got to reread this and take some of my own advice!<br />Good luck!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12862647761810468815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7150344808452774906.post-62356632995609456692010-08-28T19:13:42.155+10:002010-08-28T19:13:42.155+10:00That would defeat the idea of anonymous, wouldn...That would defeat the idea of anonymous, wouldn't it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7150344808452774906.post-88781506073980346282010-08-26T17:09:11.963+10:002010-08-26T17:09:11.963+10:00Who was this last anonymous post?Who was this last anonymous post?Josiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05531735175656872844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7150344808452774906.post-36298836548514355422010-08-26T09:27:45.433+10:002010-08-26T09:27:45.433+10:00I was a gym junkie and know it worked, but my gym ...I was a gym junkie and know it worked, but my gym budy moved overseas and I moved into slacker mode. So I blame her ;). I still think a gym buddy is the answer for me, but not you. A psychologist (in North Hobart) that is lapband friendly practises therapy that allows you to accept and control all these negative thoughts about how 'bad' we are. Maybe she could help.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7150344808452774906.post-67828061969311336692010-08-25T22:07:33.270+10:002010-08-25T22:07:33.270+10:00I wish I had a gym to go to.

Don't worry about letting people down, you need to put you first and be kind to you, don't put yourself down. I know it can be intimidating to work out in front of people, hence the fact I never really did it, then it turned out I didn't really need to. I lost my weight by simply walking, riding an exercise bike and doing a few sit ups, squats and free weights here and there - I didn't start running until I had lost the weight. Maybe start small, can you walk around the schoolgrounds at lunch time? Just make sure you enjoy the exercise you do or it will be harder to stick at it.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13425284208721625883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7150344808452774906.post-25789838653350176682010-08-25T20:17:52.649+10:002010-08-25T20:17:52.649+10:00But Liz I want to go there with you.

Remember where we go to the gym, there are lots of bigger people that go there, better than club salamanca or something!! <br />Just imagine, when those people looking at you (apparently) see you when you get to your goal weight. They will then stare in envy!! <br />I have been going to the gym for a while now on my own alot so i am ok, it`s not that. I am just trying to encourage you, and help you!! <br />I know you can do it, YOU just need to believe in yourself. <br />Don`t worry, i still love you....SLACKER!! lol xxxxxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7150344808452774906.post-49346870797475219842010-08-25T20:02:16.411+10:002010-08-25T20:02:16.411+10:00My comment to myself.
