When I did go to a "gym" (I really don't consider Curves to be a gym, more like an expensive and not funny joke) I got stuck on one of the machines. I don't remember what it was called, you sat on it, you grabbed a bar, and you reached over to pull it with your side muscles, the damned thing was horrible. Somehow my shirt got snagged on it and in trying to get off I tripped over the floor steppers and got my shorts caught on another machine. They went up, my underwear went up, everyone saw my huuuuuuge ass cheek hanging out as I'm desperately trying to get unstuck. I was in a position where I was on my tippy toes, couldn't reach around to save myself, and my mom was laughing too damned hard to do anything.
That is terrible, I would mad at my mother for weeks...
I've never really had a wardrobe malfunction, but I'm still gonna be more careful after that story.
Biggest Motivation: I haven't ever really been in my "healthy weight-range" since before high school (then I was 150, still high for my height). I wasn't aware of my weight before then, so I have no comparison. But I'd really like to dress up one time and not be self-conscious when I walk into a room of attractive people.

Also, if there is anyone who is an Oakland University Student, we could workout together!
