Last night I joined a Simply Slim class run by a local Gym, they weigh you each week and you pay up front for 10 weeks and for this payment you get 2 x 1/2 hr sessions in the Gym  at your convenience and a weekly weigh in and chat class.  I've 12 weeks to go till my hols and 10 weeks for this course so hopefully I can lose some weight within this time! I've just gotta keep going!  I went to the Gym for my half hour tonight and nearly died!  (Can only get easier) Off to the Gym again on Tuesday, swimming on Wednesday so gotta keep motivated!

You are braver than me, I haven't had the guts to join a Gym yet. I promise myself I will once I am down to 11 1/2 stone.  So another 19lbs to go.  That will leave me with 2 stone to loose, and 4 lost.  Maybe in time for the cooler weather in the Autumn.  At present enjoying lost of nice walks with the canine crew.

ooohh you remind me i need to get back to the gym last year i was so good went everyday i havent been at all this month im at my goal weight i just need to tone it all now , well done for going its a hard step actully getting in there and giving it your all , just think of you on hoilday i find if you look at a pic of a toned person just before you walk out the door it makes you work that little harder to get the same effect ;) well makes me anyway :P try to make sure you have something in mind to do and stick to it , if your like me and stop youl end up forgeting about it al together and just put it off , i do areobics at home at the mo its another quick way of getting fit when you dont have time to go , but going will keep you motivated

Well done craigles keep at it, no excuses, it does get easier if you just suck it up as Harvey Walden IV says on Fat Club. I feel its very unjust we dont lose more weight walking the dogs, Brainless. Youre doing well on the weight loss too. My commitment just aint there at the mo, too preoccupied with other things and too easily seduced into evening chocolate gorging. My name is Lorelei and Im a chocoholic... :D

Well done for going to the gym, hope you lose the amount of weight you want to. I'm too scared to go to the gym, don't really want to loose weight but just be fitter so I have started running (well jogging and walking when tired  :)  but im getting there) with my doggies. We are in the middle of no where here so I don't have to worry about anyone seeing me and im feeling a bit fitter, just gotta stop the smoking now  :)

Come on Boxerluv, you can stop smoking too. Ive been a non smoker for 3 weeks now ( after several attempts) and its great. Paul McKenna has a stop smoking DVD out now, lots of foks swear by Allen Carrs Easy Way or theres nicotine replacement therapy to double your chances :) I dont want a fag now and find it hard to connect me with smoking already but in the first couple of days when I couldve cried my dear little Satan Filly would say " Mum, think Gordon Setter!" it helps to have a goal :) I feel alot better though, I sleep better, dont get cramp and have more smell/taste already. Just do it.

ive just joined a gym with a friend, she is getting married in october so wanted to loose weight, neither of us brave enough to go alone, but we have a whale of a time, we go to the gym at the sixth form college, and the gym is partially run by the students, its great we go to the gym for 1 1/2 hours twice a week, cardivascular exercises weight lifting etc, and horse riding for an hour once a week as well as all the walking with the dogs, the thing is you feel it more when you havent been to the gym then when you have been :)

I've just had my 2nd half hour session in the gym and actually managed a short burst of running on the treadmill tonight!  Anyone who thought there was an earthquake within 50miles of lincs it was only me! lol!  the thought of going never excites me but when I'm there I'm ok.  Swimming tonight not brave enough to go when pool is open to anyone but going to ladies hour!  Bought a size 18 costume on saturday, tis a little tight but i'll get in quick and nobody will hopefully notice!  One day I'll buy a size 12/14 hopefully and then I'll know it's all worthwhile! 

well my hard work paid off in the 1st week at tonights weigh in i had lost 4.5lbs!  I'm walking on air!
