The pound stops here. Time to lose weight.

Well after seeing myself sideways in the mirror I knew it was time to go on a diet. When I would look at myself straight on it did not look that bad. Well at least I did not think it did but I was doing something and had my shirt off and was sideways to the mirror and I freaked out. I went 2 days later to talk to the people at LA Fitness. They have a super facility or facilities. The one I joined is in Ft. Lauderdale and has everything I was looking for. They have a pool and free weights, and the tread mills, cycles, Jacuzzi, sauna and more. My official starting stats are 208 pounds and 27% body fat. My goal is 180 pounds. I have an added twist though. I need to do it in 2 months. It is not as bad as it sounds. I have a lot of fluids in my body and they should shed pretty easy and that will be half the weight right there. Then that should be 10 pounds of toning which can be done with the weights and eating. If I can get to 185 in 2 months I would be happy. LA Fitness has a lot of classes that I will be taking as well. Mostly yoga and aqua aerobics. I will probably do a few spinning classes as well. The one thing I do not like about LA Fitness is the pressure they put on you to try to get you to join. I had already planned on joining but I want to try the place out first. They had given me a free 7 day pass.. I did not even get to use anything before they started talking about joining and prices. Then today I meet with the trainer for their one time free evaluation, where they set you up a workout plan and do the body fat count and all that. Again they did a few exercises and then started with the personal trainer plan. When I did not want to commit to that my free evaluation was over. I think they should give you the hour or time and then see if you want it. I would like a trainer but I felt they were forcing it on me. I still had not worked out on the equipment yet. I am sure I will like the club but I just wish they did not pressure you to join or use a trainer until you have used the equipment and had them give you the one time trainer for the hour. Not 15 minutes and then try to get to commit. I must say I am looking forward to dropping the weight. I am sure I will feel must better and make my doctor happy. LOL. I will keep you up to date.
