*Twinkle* Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 I'm just putting a happy little post in this section to spur on fellow gym goers, or people wishing to lose weight that there *is* light at the end of the tunnel I joined Virgin about 3 weeks ago, with a desperate need to lose some weight before I go on holiday (18 days to go today!) My instructor put me on a VERY evil programme, which consists of cardio work (20 mins running/15 on bike/15 on crosstrainer) and told me to go 5 times a week... I have done as I'm told and I'm delighted to announce that I am 1/2 stone lighter... I hadnt really noticed, apart from being able to get into a pair of jeans which were too tight a few months back... But I think thats down to me suffering from IBS and being REALLY bloated all the time... I was so self conscious about that, I hadnt noticed the good that had been done! This probably is no great achievement, and I have a long way to go before I'll look good on the catwalk But I'm very pleased with myself and hope that if anyone else is having difficulty in the same area that they'll find my success so far inspiring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha well its no longer a struggle... I'll tell you that much is true! No piccies though... I hate full length shots... Damn I'm self conscious!
