In the past, I used to attend a gym and LOVED it..and when life and health came about..Mentally and Physically...Had gained the weight back. I adore going to a fitness club and making fitness friends..It was worth it and also My Escape from my home duties..

Now, I been struggling on fitmess at home..and some days do not do a thing ..and usng that extra money on buying junk foods, and all and losing my fitness groove.

I have 4 fitness clubs near me..and been flip floping on which one to join...and I finally coming to terms and stop wasting my extra cash on junk and spend on myself to improve my shape...I am happy to report,,,,,,,,,,

On Jan 2nd..2014...I am going to join one local club near me...No butts about it...Its a walking distance about 10 min walk from me and will join in on riding the bike and also take Zumba classes..Yep! I shall win again and re shapping my image more better.

I am a stay at home caregiver and for me, its impossible to do my "me time" workout sessions..always getting interupted with my daily home duties.. I am so happy and knowing 2014 will be my year on really shapping up.!!! I got 2 hours in between caring for my family and I am so ready on fitness in 2014.. Next year,,I will spend less time aweigh from the comp and making my new hang out place at the gym...I am so excited!!,,,,,,,I AM WORTH IT!!

I am not waiting till the new year...am Going next month and I am so very happy on doing it!! I will use the bike and also take up on Zumba class...I am hoping they will give me a $20 a month membership..that is what I can afford and instead of using on buying cakes and candies, that money will be towards on my fitness club fee...Yahooo!!

You are so up beat about losing weight, you are encouraging everyone here. I am not close to a fitness club, but I can get out and walk some, just not a lot. Getting away from the junk foods can be hare, but it is possible. When I found out that I am a diabetic, I threw away all the junk food I used to eat. It is hard at the grocery store as where are my favorite candy bars? AT the checkout. I have learned to stay away from such things as I almost went blind. I have lost a lot of weight but I need to lose much more. I find that making a 5 pound goal works quite well.

Thank you for posting your excitement. It has uplifted my morning.

Good luck, Liliann! I need to do the same. You inspire me, and I've always wanted to do zumba, too!
