At home v.s At the gym

Which did you see better results from. Working out in the privacy of your own home or going to the gym (WITHOUT a personal trainer).

What kind of work outs did you do from home that you got serious results?

I'm too lazy at home I have to go to the gym

I gained 70 lbs with my first son. I joined the gym when he was 2 (1year ago) since I wasn't having any luck at home. I lost all my weight and then some. Before he was born I was in a size 7, afterwards I got down to a 3! It only took me 5 months busting my ass at the gym to lose all that weight. And then I got prego again!lol. So much for all the hard work! But, I do plan on joining again after this baby is born.

Thats freaking awesome results.

I just dont think I will be motivated enough to get up and go to the gym

I don't know. I think you'd be surprised. If you have a gym in your area that provides child care while you work out you should check it out. I joined gold's gym and I loved it. It gives you some sanity throughout the day. An hour or two to your self is just what any mom needs. And to beable to lose weight at the same time is awsome. Most gym's have a free week trial. You should look into it and atleast use a free week.

Before I got pregnant I was trying to lose weight and I was going to the gym and it got like addicting but I loved it. It was nice to go to the gym... I met some new people and I had a good time working out and really workin up a sweat where at home people would call and I'd stop and talk on the phone or stop and take an extra long drink break lol and I never really got a good sweat goin on. That was just me though

It just depends on how hard you work it. You can get amazing results with both if you work hard enough. Just going to a gym isn't going to magically cause dramatic weight loss (unfortunatly, lol). There is so much you could do at home too if you looked around.

At home; who wants to try to find a babysitter so you can work at a gym? I tried it and it failed misserabley...mainly because no one wanted to come and watch Aydin for me.

Thats one of the problems I have. Finding a babysitter. And I dont trust anyone but family with Olivia, shes too little. There is no way I am going to trust a stranger at the gym daycare.

**edited to add... the gym on base doesnt have a daycare (at least I dont think it does)

If you don't already, get a double stroller so you can take both kids on walks.
