Good luck :)

Thanks. I'm going to need it.

I hope the gym helps you out!

I am not sure what snap fitness is. I found that if I went to the gym by myself, I didn't get much accomplished. I found more success going to group activities, like zumba, or water aerobics, or other classes. I applaud you for the big first step in going to the gym. Keep us updated on your progress.

It's a good first step. But you do have to push yourself. Anyway you'll get those endorphins flowing and feel so much better. I always said I hated going to the gym but loved leaving it because I felt so much better. Good luck.

Good luck. I struggle with weight/ED issues and still my depression leaves me unmotivated to exercise. I think you're amazing for giving it a shot and I hope it works out well for you. It may be difficult, don't give up! And keep eating healthy so your body does not lack the energy it needs to be able to exercise.

Going to the gym is great ..you burn calories and speed up your metabolism. But its only half the battle . Your diet is extremely important. If you walk 5 miles at 3 miles per hour [which is pretty fast]
and you weigh 175 lbs you burn 464 calories. An average piece of pecan pie has 456 calories . Its much easier to skip the pie and not have to walk an extra 5 miles. Not trying to be a smart ass...just educate you. I have my personal trainers's license . I see people all the time who work out hard and then go home and "reward" themselves with some really bad food.

Yeah I definitely need to start watching what I eat. But I am still hoping that snap fitness will be able to help me lose weight. Thanks for all the good luck wishes.

WITH MY HUBBY HOME ON VACATION, WE R BOTH HAVING PROBLEMS WITH OUR WEIGHT.

PS. HE GOES 2 THE GYM EVERYDAY BUT WEEKENDS.

I am a member of a gym, I also joined the "Diets and Weight Maintenance" group here. Good people here, sadly I am overly stressed out and am not doing at all well in the weight loss thing.

I do know that it takes a change of lifestyle to achieve weight loss. I personally need to stop my stress eating!

I have major depression, schizoaffective disorder and generalized anxiety disorder. So basically I eat through my feelings. I am definitely overweight and need to lose quite a bit.
