all by myself?!

Thanks Linda, Your's is the second post about working out with eyes closed... must be a new trend. So, I think the key to this work out stuff is... turn up the iPod, on the elliptical machine, with eyes closed. I really AM going to have to give this a try tonight. Tracy A.

the more you do it hte easier it gets. i understand what you are saying about the feeling that people are looking. when I was a 53 BMI I was "invisible" I wore a swimsuit and said anyone who didn't like it could kiss my fat a$$. now Im a size 8 and pretty fit and feel like I have a neon sign on me in shorts, swimsuits etc. I don't know why I feel more self conscious. hang in there and try to have fun exercising. May be find an exercise buddy so you have the strenth in numbers going for you!
