MANY of us go to the gym or to Curves ,
Can you tell me what was your worse experince at te gym .

As for me ... I was weighing about 300 pounda l I had already lost 50 and was so excited . I got to the gym and startd looking around at all the skinny girls.  I felt so inadequate.
So ... I went down to the pool and in front of all these soldiers I jumped in and began my water walking . I felt their eyes on me and I could only imagine what they where looking at , My fat was jiggling , my sking was sagging ..l. I was just plain embarrassedl    

I decided from that day forward that no one would stop me from working out ,,, and I decided that If I caught them looing I was going to stop them dead in their track = and tell them my WOW MOMNENTS AND HOW WLS SAVED MY LIFE ...

What about you ,, any good , or bad moments at the gym > 

Hugs.

I had the band in 2003. I had a revision to the sleeve in 2010. Back in 2003 I was afraid to go to the gym. I didn't want people to laugh at me. I had no clue how to work any of the machines and I didn't want some sexy 20 year old showing me either (while making fun of me in his/her head).

At that time in my life I was teaching high school. I had a bunch of the football team in my math class. They took me on as a project. The coach (who is a family friend) helped them with a program and each week one of them and the coach would go with me to the gym to try something new on me. At first I cried every day because being almost 400 pounds it wan't easy and I knew people were making fun of me by the way they looked at me. As the weeks went by it got easier and easier. I moved to Maryland three years ago. Now I am giving advice at the gym to frustrated women who look like they feel out of place.
