Go Steph!
Well, I'm going to be a little behind you on getting things going - but I will get them going.
Dunno about joining a gym... I need to have a look at what gyms are around here. I do miss going to the gym; I used to go to one back in Rocko. I've been so slack... I haven't even been going walking with anything resembling regularity.
So my current stats? Hmmm, well, the last time I stepped on a scale was around a month ago and I was around the 115-116kg mark. I don't know my measurements at this point but I'll put them up when I get them, promise.
Oh - and for anyone reading this who isn't Steph ...
Hi, I'm MissE.
Steph kindly invited me to join her on this mission to get ourselves healthy and slimmer than we currently are.
I'm 33 and I'm doing this because I want to feel good about myself. Like Steph, I want guys to check me out, not coz my arse is its own planetoid but because I look 'hot' and fabulous! But mainly I want to not hate myself even a little bit when I lok in the mirror. I want to be able to walk into an ordinary clothing store and not search for the XXL or even the XL... I want rid of the X's!
Currently I am anything from a 16-20 depending on where I am shopping... I mostly shop in the clothes stores that cater for the "big girl" and it kinda sucks because they tend to stock a lot of ugly-fracking clothes.
Anyway - I'll be back soon!

Big clothes are expensive too!
Try shopping at crossroads (if there's one near you). Not so expensive and the clothes are really quite nice.
Its great to have you on board.
If you're looking at a gym my local is Goodlife Health Clubs. There are a couple in SA. Very reasonably priced, but you may have a free or cheaper one at your uni you can use.
Its worth the time to see as many gyms as you can fit in, go there, have a look around and talk to someone
Luckily there is a crossroads in the local little shopping centre - I've gotten a few nice tops from there already this year.
I'm only at Uni 2 days a week so even though gym membership would be rather cheap it seems a bit of a waste. :(
There's a Fernwood near by and a few others not too far away. I think I'll make that one of this week's "things to do" as well as looking into the Goodlife gyms.
I tried fernwoods...but it's so expensive!! I just keep telling myself I cannot justify paying hundreds of dollars on a gym membership when I could just walk the dog every day for one hour.
But I think the bottom line is 'just move it!' even if you dance in the lounge room (again - something I could very easily be doing every morning before the kids get up and put the cartoons on. actually this morning my son wanted to watch series one of Kath n' Kim) :)
anyhoo, I've got to do just DO IT!!
Have you guys read Ajay Rochester's book 'Confessions of a Reformed Dieter?'
it's fabulous and really makes you feel you aren't the only one.
will be checking in and following from the side lines until I get enough guts to join in and post a pic!
well done to both of you!!
Good luck to you!
Phishez- love the header!
