I am SO in...the treadmill is not my friend lately...once or twice a week is not enough...going well with the maintence, but have 20 at least more to loose...

help me my friends.!

Well, I'm in too. The gym and I used to be tight, but I drifted away. Time to renew our relationship and abuse the machines a bit more. I hear they like it ;)

The weather has seemed to cooled off and it won't be so God awful hot this weekend. I'm planning on doing some dog walking for the local Humane Society.

*baby steps*

I'm in!  Except I'm not going today - I'll go tomorrow!  I need one day break!

I have the same feelings.  The gym and I had gotten into a groove, it was nice, refreshing, invigorating and then something happened.  My life hasn't changed much but the groove is gone and squeezing in the gym has been challenging lately.  I need to get my groove back, tackle the gym again.  I've kept my first 10 off so at least there isn't a back slide but I want more off.  I want to get my skinny back.  The weekend is booked with activities, outdoors so that is good, so monday is my day to get back in the groove.

I'm in! I started back in the gym about 6 weeks ago, had to change lifestyle, work patterns and most importantly eating habits, committed to losing 40lbs, been stuck on same weight now for 3 weeks after losing 20lbs, any ideas how to kick start weight loss again, it's very frustrating. I go to gym 5/6 times a week, alternate upper and lower body, with loads of hard! cv. 

If you consider 16 years not too long ago, I want to be in too!  Yep, used to be so health conscious...best of shape, eating well, working out, teaching aerobics...bought a house, got married, and had kids.  Beautiful life, but lost me.  Started calorie count in January 2008 and was on a roll loosing every week and giving my treadmill the workout of his life.  Then family member health support requirements kicked in, and I fell off the wagon.

Logged in today, read your thread, and got the boost I needed to want to kick butt again.  Weighed myself today, and unfortunately gained 7 lbs since I last logged anything.

Thanks for the thread and the much needed motivation I have been longing for!

The gym and I had a meeting on Friday. I told it, in no uncertain terms, that I was going to use it. It acknowledged that. I think it was happy, but you can't really tell with these personifications of gym equipment.

Me and Mr. Treadmill spent a good 20-some minutes being reacquainted though. I left hot, sweaty and vaguely satisfied.

I bought a scythe.

Now I can go get some cardio and trim some weeds around the farm at the same time.

My free weights are still dusty.  Maybe if I pay someone to clean them I would be more likely to use them......

Indeed. You also have the makings of a great halloween costume!

Perhaps you could handle the free weights a little at a time? One or two weights a day?

Once again, I took talked back the gym yesterday. How's everyone else doing? Are y'all trying to talk back your gym or are you stuck in second gear?

Remember, the only one who can make this happen is YOU. You have the power. You have the power to work out, to eat well, to make good choices. You can do this, one choice at a time.
