Morbidly obese and joining the gym on Wednesday.

[Thedarksideofthemoon30]

Arghhhhh.

Iv been doing keto for the last 4 weeks and have lost 25lb. I currently weigh 22stone and im 5ft9. I’m absolutely terrified that I’m going to be to heavy for the equipment!

But my 11yo ds has been asking to join so he has an induction booked for Wednesday with me.

I’m so nervous 😩

I sweat a lot! I go bright red 😩 I absolutely hate it and have tried wearing foundation but I just sweat it off!

Iv contacted two PTs but can’t afford the £30 an hour really 😩😔

@Thedarksideofthemoon30

I sweat a lot and go bright red too and hate it. But I've also come to recognise that it's a sign that I'm working hard enough.

I've been running for 2 months now, I've only lost 3lb in that time but today I put 2 photos side by side and the change in my figure is very noticeable. I'm very happy and it's convinced me to carry on and also introduce some toning exercises (especially for my core muscles!).

Well done for going again and going alone is brilliant 👏

Well done in what you’ve already achieved! That’s amazing :-)

@Thedarksideofthemoon30

I had the same problem and take a hand towel with me when I go to the gym. Bought some in Asda for a few quid each. I sit on it so no damp triangle! Added bonus that I’m not sitting directly where someone else’s sweaty bum has just been although most people wipe down before and after using stuff anyway.

Sweat is good! Keep it up .

My PT does 4 hours for £100.

They also do 6 weeks (1hr) of group exercise for £40 at the local park. Would you consider that?

How is it going @Thedarksideofthemoon30 ?

Just thought I’d update (name changed).

Iv gone every day/other day. 30 hours so far. I’m absolutely loving it!! I had two PT sessions and she helped my confidence so now I’m weight training. It’s such a buzz going in and knowing what I want to do. Iv started dead lifting.

I’v lost 3 stone altogether since April 6th.

I really need some new gym leggings as they are too big now :( but I have no idea what sort!

Wowowowowow!
Amazing. Well done!!

Well done! Inspirational!

Love love love this update!

Supermarket and Dunnes gym leggings are fine imo. I do CrossFit type exercise and they're grand for me,can't see underwear through them. I also have decathlon but I find them small sizing, IE I'm a 10-12 and I'm a large. I have cycle shorts from Amazon (joyspel brand but they're all the same) and love them too, pocket for phone/ car key and feel cool.

Thank you all! My son is absolutely smashing it as well. He is really really enjoying it! X

What a great update @WaitroseAldi

Well done for keeping it up.

Wow, well done OP - that’s already an amazing weight loss begin with! I seriously doubt the equipment will be an issue but as others have said you can always ask in advance. You’re setting a great example for your son and I hope you really enjoy it.

Oops, missed the update with name change! Well done OP, that’s so impressive!

You lost 3 stones since AprilThats amasing and congrats but how is it even possible ?

Not sure! I’m doing Keto, I don’t want to jinx it but it’s coming off quite fast 🙈
