Recommendations on weight loss programs/gyms/whatever?

[snackeyg]

So I've gained 10lbs since I started my new job and that hit me hard. I haven't been that weight in 3 years. I get paid next Tuesday and I'm going to join something. Either just a gym and work with a personal trainer, or something like weight watchers/jenny Craig. Any opinions/advice on them? Also confidence issues, low self-esteem, insecurities all need to be fixed with me.

I would research Weight Watchers and L.A. Fitness.

I thought about going to L.A. Fitness during the summer,not because I'm overweight,but because I don't feel comfortable going to a "regular" gym like Bally,because a lot of the people there are trying to show off or looking for hook ups,and get a personal trainer AND join a food...one of those food programs.

Your diet and exercising habits have to be changed in order to lose weight

Yes. That's why I wanna join something. I fail on my own.

There is really no need to spend all that money on a gym membership, or personal trainer. There is plenty of stuff you can do at home, running, biking, swimming, playing sports with friends. Every weight loss solution has the same principle, eat less, exercise more.

I lack motivation. Without a person helping me. I'll accomplish nothing.

I have a hard time getting motivated also. Try to get a friend or someone to lose some weight with you, so you can sort of check on each other. Another thing is to write things down, write how many calories you want to stay under and keep track throughout the day, and then write down a workout schedule. Put it in places where you will see it often, so like every time you go to the fridge you see that list, and know that you have to go work out that day.

Idk about gyms. After joining one I gained about 10 lbs.

[snackeyg]

Did you do things for muscle gain over weight loss? lol

[EddyMetal]

Muscle gain.
