    I really need to get busy. My weight is way out of control. 5'3" 225lbs. Curious where you guys work out and what fees are like. People will laugh at my choice, but I stopped into a planet fitness. Biggest reason is the cheap membership fees, and that includes a trainer that goes over your goals and helps build a workout. I am not in a financial position to afford high fees. My endocrine system is out of wack and that causes me nasty fatigue and I just end up sitting around all day. My current endocrinologist is horrible, but if I don't get off my ass I will only get worse.

    The first step is not giving a damn what people think. Once you do this, you can go in with a clear mind, and handle business.

    Good luck with your endeavor, I can't really offer any super sentimental advice, as it is my belief that once you are ready to "do it", you will do it. Success is in your hands.

    24 hour fitness. For $29/mo I can go to any location in the country. I work all over the metro area so it makes it easy to find a location nearby and drop in when it's convenient. I have even used the 24 Hour in Seattle and in San Diego.

    sent from a soup can and some string..

    $29 isn't to bad. Little out of my budget, but not bad. Planet Fitness is only $10, but I am limited to just one club.

    Do you have any physical limitations with what exercises you're doing? What is driving you to 'need' a gym membership?

    sign up for a Workout Of The Day (WOD) email, and get after it!!! I'm a member of the Spartan Race Series WOD. That will get you into good shape in a hurry!

    Remember, get skiny in the kitchen, get strong in the gym*




    *gym is wherever you work out.
    Just doing what I can to stay on this side of the dirt.

    I am grossly over weight. That is my motivation.
