Amen, sister! You did the right thing by walking out on that sales pitch. That would be fine if we were all independently wealthy! Too bad you couldn't cut him short and save yourself the effort it takes to listen to him but at least you got out of there with your wallet intact! You can do it!  

Thank you! I believe I can, too! It just might not happen in 29 weeks! lol But that's okay! I want it to be permanant this time around! I want this to be the LAST time I have to lose this much weight...EVER! It was so hard, especially, not to laugh at them when they started talking about nutrition. They don't realize how much I've had to learn, on my own, about nutrition, since being diagnosed with PCOS, insulin resistance, and having had gestational diabetis. I'm not knew to the nutrition thing! I know what foods I should be eating and how often. It's just becoming willing to eat this way consistantly. They treat people as though they are niave to eating properly. It's rather insulting when you know that they don't know anything about you, medically, at all... They even dogged SBD and DR. Phil's eating plan. I told them I was using both of these programs as a guide to eating properly. They kept refering to them as "diets" and that "diets" never work because they deprive you of eating foods. What these trainers don't get is that not all people can eat all foods. I know I can't eat simple carbs without paying a price. I know that I have to limit even my complex carbs, if I want to lose weight and keep my blood sugars in balance. I know alot about myself that they don't! lol Oh well! I'm just glad that's over! I still have to call and cancel my "free 1st session" as they offered to redo my first free session since my first trainer was rather arrogant and I didn't like her. I know that if I take them up on that session, I'll have to go through that sales pitch all over again! I went ahead and scheduled it, though, just to shut them up and get the heck out...knowing full well I was gonna end up calling and canceling! That's how much I hate being rude to people! lol One day I'll learn! 

You sooo CAN! I KNOW YOU CAN... I BELIEVEEEEE IN YOU... YES.... YOU!!! That is just absolutely AWFUL that you had to endure the sales pitch of the "shark" as I call them... to me, they are no better than a car salesman, trying to make a buck, with no concern to your budget or well being because of it. Don't they think that if we were made of money, we'd had hired one them a long time ago and not be this way??? GRRR. You know you don't have to be rude to them to get them to chill out... not one bit. =D Honestly, you start from the beginning that you've heard two of their sales pitches and you very much appreciate their time and concerns, but that your husband has already discussed this matter with you and it is NOT an option for you to try to fit into your budget at this time. Tell them that you do not want to waste their time, as it is so valuable, especially with the price they put on it! =D *SMILE the whole time!* Say it, mean it and you'll have set yourself up for guidelines of the "session". End with you are limited on time and money at this time and you would like to know how to use the equipment properly, please, and then they can go on and use their knowledge to try to sell to someone else. That is not only "not Rude", but it's fair and reasonable. IF you choose to go, you can feel good in that you have not been rude in any way shape or form, but that you have given them the Gods honest truth and there is never anything wrong with that! :) NOW then.... GIRL... we are GOING to be DROPPIN' some POUNDS this YEAR!! Do you WANT IT?? How BADLY DO YOU?? We need to really set up commitment to exercise!! MINIMUM of 3 times a WEEK...never less and GO FOR MORE!! Lets DO IT!! Shall we... ???  

I am not going back for more "sales pitch", that's FOR SURE! And, yes, I have made a commitment to myself that starting this week, I will work out 3 times a week, period. That is my current goal...for this month. 

I watched part of Oprah yesterday but really love her trainer, Bob Greene. I have his book, The Best Life Diet and have read the first few chapters. Really great, realistic way of eating. You should check out the book after you watch the show from yesterday. he is really great.
