Where do Fat Women Exercise?

We signed up at a health club this last week and I’m already discouraged.

First of all even though I have been riding my stationary bike at home and using my Gazelle a couple of times a week I obviously have not been putting enough effort into it.

10 minutes on an elliptical machine and I’m breathing like a fish out of water. Last Thursday I spent 15 minutes on a recumbent bike and my legs hurt so bad on Friday I could hardly get out of bed.

I guess I really do need to go the gym cause I’m in far worse shape than I thought.

Which leads me to my second discouragement; so far I am the only fat person I have seen at the gym. Well fat female person, I have seen a couple of hefty guys but not any women or girls who look as if they hit the plus size department for clothes. I mean surely there are other heavy women that go to the gym. Most of the females I have seen while not stick thin are certainly not fat, heavy, or even very plump.

Sigh! I feel very inadequate at the gym and only hope if I keep going I will feel better about myself, improve my fitness level, and shed at least a few of these extra pounds.
I really need to start back to Weight Watchers too, but there are only so many hours in the day and I’m already stretched to the limit, maybe when school is out for the summer I can sign up for a few months and see what kind of results I have.
