You have a great writing style.I noticed your writing from Yahoo and enjoyed reading it. Have you been writing this blog for a while?Not long ago I recently created a blog on my own and its been a really fun process. I’ve met some interesting friends since then although it is frustrating at times! Once more, much appreciated for your article!

I recently cancelled my gym memebership since I’ve been too busy at work to go. I loved it tho and like you noticed, everyone is in their own zone. I love the elliptical machine. I have a problem running, my shins and the bottom of my feet take a lot of impact and I have to stop very often to rest them. On the elliptical, I don’t feel that impact, so I’m in jog/run mode for much longer. I am hoping to be back in the gym by April of this year but for now I’m doing home workouts and concentrating on my diet.

thanks for stopping by my blog!
i loved this post; it really hit home. i have denied myself so many things because i am embarrassed about gaining all this weight back. and that’s wrong. we are who we are right now and we should not deny ourselves simple pleasures just because we are not where we want to be.
kudos to you for an awesome workout AND losing 3 lbs!

I just came across your site. I LOVED this post. I felt the same way for the longest time! I was always telling myself when I lost weight I’d do this or that instead of living now. And when I used to go to the gym it was inevitable that someone would come get on the treadmill next to me and run. And run. And I’d feel so dumb huffing & puffing along next to them, when they were in their own little world anyway. I’d definitely like to follow you along on your journey, good luck!

WTG girl!!!! The hardest thing (when you are overweight or obese) in my opinion is getting to the gym. There’s always all of these thoughts that you think, like will I look stupid? will people laugh at me? etc. etc. But once you realize everyone else is only caring about themselves, it’s okay.

I am one of the biggest sweaters known to man. Sweat drips off of me in buckets. I used to hate that. But now I’ve totally owned up to it because my husband admitted to me that he thinks sweaty girls working out are hot. ha ha!
