Guest guest Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Hi UmmAleah, You Rock... I am soooo glad you joined the gym. Walking through the door was the hardest thing for me too. You will not know yourself once you start. It can get very addictive. I Started going twice a week and now I am there every day and sometime twice a day. I am jsut so happy that you have made that first massive step. I to was afraid of being to big for the machines but with a little support there is nothing to worry about. You have really made my day. I love excercise now and don't know what I did without it (well I I do know). Congatualtions and it only gets easier from here!!! Cheers > > Dear All, > > I want to thank all those who a week or so ago gave me the courage to get up and move. > > I joined a gym COntours this morning and went along. I was so scared i was too fat to use any of the equipment. > > I managed to use 7 out of 10 machines and felt great afterwards. The staff were so nice and supportive. > > There were many women my age 48 and up and no gym bunnies in site - thank GOD!! > > Again, many thanks to all who inspried me to get of my fat bum and move. > > I would suggest anyone who is not excersising to get up and move too. > > I feel great.....and to think when I woke up this morning i made a million excuses why I shouldnt go - all of which were just that - excuses made up of fear. > > regards UmmAleah > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 Thanks for the message. Everyone seems to have the same opinion - once you meet everyone, it feels like you have known them all forever!! Perhaps we should make our first outing at the same time? Could be fun Y If it is OK I would just like to share... Hello everyone, hope your weekend is going well..Just thought I would share 2 milestones with everyone, but before I do I just really wanted to say a MASSIVE thank you to Ellen for giving me some clothes - they are lovely and there is definitely ones in there for me to aspire to... THANK YOU though I really do appreciate it!!Milestone 1 - I have finally(!!!! ) hit the double digits! I am 98kg today - 37kg's down since the Op in Feb. I was hanging around the 99-101 mark for a few days, but today is a confirmed 98!Milestone 2 - I met a bandit for the first time - Ellen of course!! - People are usually surprised by the fact that I am shy (well people from work anyway) but I really am quite shy, and I was sooo nervous about meeting anyone - I know this is going to sound stupid but here it is anyway - I was worried about meeting other bandits because I was worried that people would misunderstand by shyness for being rude, and because I don't like being out in public, and even though I know we are all in the same boat I was still scared of being judged...... . My husband forced me to to the steakhouse thing because he thought I would benefit from meeting everyone and the associated support, and knew the only way I would do that is by arranging something because then I can't pull out.Anyway after meeting Ellen and talking about things I realised that everything I feel, or think about myself is what other people feel and think.I can honestly say I am now really looking forward to meeting everyone, and if there is an outing before the steakhouse (10th Aug) I will be there (if that's ok of course). Thanks again Ellen and everyone elseY xxNo virus found in this incoming message.
