i used to have a membership with fernwood, i found it to be really good, not intimidating like some of the bigger gyms, and you dont have to worry about whether guys are staring at you in your tight gym pants hahaha. i only left them because the nearest gym was not close enough to home. i would go back with them in a heartbeat if there was one nearby! the ladies there are always really helpful and it's not always packed out either! smart move!

[oostevens]

yeah i am hyped! i think i am going to join! AND I lost weight!!! I am now 400g away from the 70s reckon i can do it before chrissie??

[milkyway]

Yes yes yes! You CAN do it! Imagine how great you'll feel when you enter that new decade

[GoddessInside]

yeah i am hyped! i think i am going to join! AND I lost weight!!! I am now 400g away from the 70s reckon i can do it before chrissie??

Hell Yea !!! You go girl

[jeshka]

you'll get there EASILY!! 400g is nothing!! well done!

[oostevens]

thaaaaaaaaaanks i just tried on some old clothes (and that is why i now have hayfever) and a heap of them are fitting way better!!! I will be working out x2 tonight and then tomorrow as well, and Monday I want to have a walk/jog on the beach

I cannot wait to get into the 70s! and then I have to reach 75kgs which is the 2nd goal. And then 70! and maybe 65 :p

Goal 1: Reach the 70s
Goal 2: Reach 75kgs
Goal 3: Reach 70kgs (try on wedding dress)
Goal 4: Reach the 60s
Goal 5: Reach 65kgs

I am pumped!

p.s I did lots of walking at the shops and bought a christmas dress it looks rather nice, and I found a size 12 top that fit YAY I think I am beginning to get there.

[milkyway]

Good on you Rach - you will get there

[jeshka]

hey Rach, did you end up reaching the 70's before xmas?

[oostevens]

NO WAY :p

i am still 80 i think ha ha

decided to not join the gym cos of finances and i do have gym stuff at home :p but i am using that again now.

i am weighing in tomorrow, but i am a tad worried at what i might find :s hehe

[jeshka]

haha yeah that's how i am feeling about measuring myself. sometimes that amount of feasting over xmas doesn't make as much of a difference as you would think, but sometimes it does - and personally i like to expect the worst in those cases so that it's a bonus if the results are better than i'd hoped haha

don't let it get you down though, just jump back on the wagon!

[oostevens]

me too! i prefer thinking the worst so i can be suprised :p but i am told thats negative thinking and its not a good thing :p ha ha maybe i can try and be more positive in 2008

[jeshka]

hahah i've been told that too. i used to be really negative until i met my current BF last year - he's the most positive person i've ever met - and now sometimes even i am more positive than him! still, sometimes i find it's better to expect the worst than to expect the best and be disappointed - not all the time, but in cases like this i think it's ok

[EvilWombatQueen]

Good on you, Rachel!

I agree that it's really hard to lose weight over Christmas. And the heat doesn't help at all either! 2008 is going to be great for all of us, I'm sure of it! Imagine how much easier it's going to be to lose weight once all this Xmas/NYE temptation is out of the way!
