Ht. 5'7", Start: 229 lb, Today: 231 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 160 lb - I discovered something today...
I HATE exercising at home. It's not controlled, and is kind of inadequate. I want to join a gym..very bad. But all of the gym memberships are so expensive, and we're pretty dang poor. Anyone know how I could make like, $55 a month? As you can see, I'm too young to get a real job..and I'm not much of a guy who goes up to people and asks, "Can I mow your lawn? I need money". I was thinking of making fliers, and putting contact info on them, but yeah.. Anyways, tips are appreciated.

Well, the YMCA offers scholarship to those that cant afford it. So look into that.

I never thought that my insurance might cover it, but I doubt it. Insurance companies = fail.

joining a gym is good i had too becuase one i could do it at home i didnt want family watching me and it ws to easy for me to get destracted. the flyers and odd jobs are great. but in sum cases if you doctor says that you need to go to a gym your insurence might cover it. it's something to look into.

babysitting is a good job, that is what I did before I turned 16, it acctually pays better than some jobs out there. Also, washing cars, any kind of yardwork, and walking dogs.
