Boy, am I impressed with you Jim. I have been working out for 6 mos and I haven't lost any weight, but my body is shifting. I think my big tummy is going to my butt. I am so much stronger now and both my arms are the same length. Everytime I get mad at myself for not loosing weight and going on a diet I forget why I started in the first place. I went from not being able to pick up a condiment basket in my left hand to being able to pick up 5lbs!! Doesn't sound like much, but trust me it's a milestone. I tried 8 lbs but my left arm just was shaking. I'm also able to pull down on the machines now and adding more weight. I know I'm making great strides in getting stronger. That's what the Dr. gets for telling me I'm going to be bedridden. I am a master of the wobble limp!!

Hooray for you!! and hooray for me for getting stronger!! (Just thought I'd pat myself on the back)== with my left arm !! shaggy

Shaggy,

Congratulations, and keep with it. I give you both a lot of credit. I am the worst when it comes to exercise/dieting. I have no discipline, whatsoever, and have never been able to stick to any kind of program.

This thread has given me the incentive to try again, but......

hello everyone
i am anney 20 years old from us.
I am new this site

Just joined the gym and want to lose weight?

I have joined a gym where i get access to swimming, classes, gym and ice skating. I would say I have about 3 free days to spend on activities but want advice on the best way to lose weight and tone but making it interesting.

i think that focus on resistance training<lifting weights>. I used to advice members at a gymn. woman are mistakened it will get them bulky. That is not true...it builds strong bones and burns fat quicker than joggin or walking. don't make the mistake of sitting on a bike...won't do a thing.
