I am overweight and just joined a gym?!
Question: I am overweight and just joined a gym!?
I just joined Golds Gym!. I weigh 225 and am 5'3"!. I am 20 years old!. I got pregnant when I was 16 but thinking I was so young I had nothing to worry about I didnt take good care of myself and gained 85 lbs and never lost any!. I really need to lose the weight but I am nervous to participate in the classes because I am afraid of being the only fat person, looking funny while I do the excercises, or wearing out too quickly!. I dont want to embarrass myself or get laughed at!. Is it likely I will be the only fat person!? And for anyone who has lost a tremendous amount of weight, how long did it take and how many times a week did you work out!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Good for you!! Go to the classes they are so great! they really help motivate you to do things you wouldnt do working out alone and keep you going when you would quit if you were by yourself!. Noone will judge you for being there and being the size you are, everyone knows you are there to better yourself just like them, and alot of them were probably in your shoes not to long ago!! Good for you and Good Luck!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Don't be ashamed!. I'm sure you are a beautiful women!. The truth is, until you make a commitment to lose the weight, you are going to be overweight wherever you go!. Whether it be at the gym or the buffet!. Which would you rather be seen at!. There is no shame in working on your health!. Do it and be proud!. Do not try to get it all off at one time!. You a have plenty of time!. The one thing you DO NOT want to do is crash diet and lose muscle!. Work hard and in the words of Special K "keep the muscle, lose the fat"!. Also if you haven't signed a contract, be sure you research the gym first!. Go in and check it out before making a commitment to a particular gym!. However if you don't like the first or second gym, keep looking until you find one that you feel comfortable!. There are gym's that are only for women!. Some women feel more comfortable in this setting!. Best of luck to you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
