I pad £25/month in London (student rate) at the gym. Here in LA I pay $40/month. It's pretty much the same anywhere.

I dont mind paying $40 a month. I did however begrudge paying £50 (Approx $95) a month for a basic membership where if I wanted to join clases then I would have to pay extra. After spending the last 10 months under medical treatment I am looking forward to getting into some kind of exercise programme again. I am so unfit right now, never been so lethargic and slobbish. I need to get my body back to where it was a year ago.

It must have been incredibly stressful to go through the treatment and the visa process at the same time! I hope this year is better for you.

At least my £47 membership does include classes.

Very stressful, glad that is behind me now, finished all treatment on Christmas eve. I can only look forward now, forward to my new life in the USA.

Going through a thing like cancer gives you a whole new outlook on life. I say to everyone live your life, do what you want to do, life is too short to hesitate, just go for it. I'm just happy to be alive and be given the opportunity to have a lot of years ahead of me

Never put off what you can do today!!!!

Great advice, Maggie. A nice antidote to all the whingeing I've been doing this morning!

It's a philosophy I try to live by - and if I didn't, I wouldn't be here! - but it's good to be reminded of it again, and it's fantastic that you have such a positive outlook!

Thank you . I am so positive, life is too short for regrets. Everyone should go for their dreams.

My favourite saying is "If you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain"

I think that says it all.

Mine is obsessed with machines of all kinds, including but not limited to: beat-up pick-ups, thrashed-out vintage Brit sports cars, trashy US cars (see my avatar?), motorcycles of every persuasion, tractors (!!!), ride-on lawnmowers, dead reel-to-reel decks, 70s amplifiers, 8-track players (!!!???), hell junky hi-fi of all sorts, and the new one, airplanes. Hooooooo boy.

News flash -- I am going to the gym, peeps. I feel lardy, and although I tried to make that feeling go away with liberal application of online retail therapy (J Crew's final sale has an extra 20% off sale prices!) and lunch (vaguely healthy tofu salad and roasted sprouts) sadly only sweating will do the trick.

Glad you figured that out early -- makes it easier in the long run.

(J/K!)

Okay, really going to the gym now...
