Lol, I was just about to post this! I do it every year :)

[debmonn]

hehe, i just got the email about it from when signed up last year, and deleted it without opening it. woops.

[Jennlk84]

This looks awesome! But I don't have a Bally's anywhere near me!

[johnson2693]

Jenn, I never used the Bally's 8 week gym membership and there's one right down the street from me. Once you register, it allows you to track your weight loss and excercise progress for the 8 week challenge. It's a great tool to use!

[shrinky]

I have signed up before but never done it. I think this year I might give it a shot.

[kimmibear]

hehe didn't we start a group or something last year of buddies?

[queenie521]

I just read the info on the challenge, this sounds really great, I definitly think I will sign up tomorrow. Did anyone do this last year? Was it a successful program?

[Iris77]

I think im gonna give it a shot. Is the 8 week gym membership free? I am assuming so...

Yes, I believe it is. You either get an email with the coupon or it allows you to download one once you register.

[Iris77]

woot! im joining! i can do the gym for free, even if its just 8 weeks ;)

Thanks for posting this! I am going to check it out!:jump_jack

[modswag]

I don't have a Bally's anywhere near me. http://healthdiscovery.net/forums/images/smilies/mad.gif I wish I could join.

Going to my university's gym means walking there and back (30 minutes each way) in whatever weather... I wish I could just drive there so it wouldn't take half my day to travel and workout.

[queenie521]

Arnt You Supposed To Be Able To Sign Up Today? I Cant Find The Link On The Site To Sign Up. Maybe I Am Blind...someone Help Me Out.

[queenie521]

Ok, so i am an idiot. The problem isnt that I'm blind so much that I CANT READ. The site says Dec 29, and I for some reason kept reading November 29. DOH!!!!!!! Ok, I figured it out myself.........OOPS!

[sotm121097]

Thank you for posting this, i'm definately going to sign up for that.

[WorkinMom]

I thought about doing this last year but didn't. Maybe this is the year! Thanks for sharing. I'll watch for a thread of Challenge Buddies! :)

[johnson2693]

hehe didn't we start a group or something last year of buddies?
I think there was one...weren't you in charge of it? He he! Should we do that again this year?

[kimmibear]

I think there was one...weren't you in charge of it? He he! Should we do that again this year?Yeah I think I did start it up last year. Haha.

[TheLovelyJesse]

This sounds so cool. I wish there was one ever semi-close to me.. Dangit. :mad:

[Kira Dear]

Hmm..I've never been one for the gym..it has always kind of intimidated me. Guess this is as good of a chance to try it out as any! :strong:

[Kira Dear]

bumping this up as the registration date gets nearer

[momof2inillinois]

I just checked out the info and will try to sign up although I don't have a bally's anywhere near me. Thanks for posting this.

[motwin2]

I just signed up!

Although I do have one question. For anyone who did this before, did you follow the exercise guidelines or did you do your own thing? I know I'm not doing the meal plan since I'm a WW groupie :bcb_grin, but I was just wondering if you had to do their fitness plan for it to count?

[kimmibear]

there is a bally's not tooo far from me...maybe i'll sign up this year and go down to it. i have a lot of days off in january, i can definately use those days to go check out the classes at the bally's.

[vc10um]

I'm all signed up. I'm just going to be using it as an additional resource to give me new ideas for workouts, meals, etc. Plus I have a Bally's right down the street. Although using my campus rec center (IM Building all the way, baby!) is much more convenient (and already free!) for the times when only the gym I DON'T like is open, the Bally's pass will be nice!

[mariemorgan]

oh oh oh we just got a bally's!! I'm so in!! YEA A free gym!!!

:'( It's saying I don't have a Bally's when I had one open 2 months ago.. :bcb_cry:

side note - i miss the ccrb. not the crowds..but i lived in stockwell so it didn't get much better than that!

[Kira Dear]

Woohoo! I signed up. I'm so excited to try out a gym. Plus, I want to use the tanning in there as an additional motivator. I don't get to see the sun much and I hear tanning kinda helps with the "gray depression".

I liked the CCRB when I lived in MoJo...but since they remodeled the IMSB, I can't live without it. I live north of North Campus now and I drive all the way down to south campus to use the IM Building. I lived WQuad soph year and directly across the street junior and senior years, so I got addicted to the IMSB!

[renchop]

I signed up and it congratulated me telling me I was a healthy weight. 165.8 lbs is not technically "healthy" for 5'7". My BMI is 25.9. I have never had a doctor or any program tell me I am a healthy weight. I think it's broken. :bcb_confu

[irishskills01]

I decided to sign up if for anything to have somewhere to input my weight each week and I want to print out the exercise logs and stuff! There is a Ballys about 10 min from my work. I am not sure I will go, because I have my gym by me I go to, But I have thought about going to take the classes only for 8 weeks!

[Iris77]

i'm in!!! im very excited to have a gym again, even if its just for 8 weeks. cant really sign up for anything until i know where and when i will be working, so i'll just take my 8 free weeks and enjoy them....

[johnson2693]

I just signed up. I'm not sure if I'm going to take advantage of the 8 week Bally's membership. I may just go to the gym at school instead. But, I like the challenge so I can track my exercise and weight loss.
