Hey everyone...

I was just looking for some input, perhaps from people in my same kind of situation.

I started in February at 250, I am not 172 lbs.

I have done this all using the Lesley Sansone walk at home program. My problem now is that my weight has really slowed at melting off. I realize this is normal... it gets harder the smaller you get. I don't really have money to get a gym pass even though Id love access to the equipment. At this point I think I need more hard core stuff. I've done some zumba... just wondering if you all have any specific exercises that will help in toning my stomach?

Any ideas?

    I am on my last 20 also and it has slowed down a lot. So I am wondering the same thing! :smile:

    Time to start incorporating strength training. Search Craigslist for weights for sale. I also found it helpful to watch Groupon, Living Social or other sites that have deals on bootcamps, gym membership trials, yoga, etc. Fairly inexpensive way to try a new activity. When you shake things up and confuse your body, you'll start dropping weight again. GOOD LUCK!!

    I agree, I'd add strength training! P90x, even 30DS.

    Time to workout to other DVDs besides the walking videos. Check them out for free at your local library. Buy them cheap on Amazon.com or stores like Target or Wal-Mart or Pawn America. All fitness stuff, including DVDs, will be on sale throughout the months of December and January so watch the store ads and buy a few. Buy some dumbbells too. Challenge yourself.

    Try bodyweight exercises.. Squats, lunges, Tri-Cep dips, Push-ups, Planks, Side Planks, Hip Bridges.

    All good strength exercises you can do that don't involve weights.

    If you need weights but can't afford any, a milk jug or big cans will do in a pinch. I also found kit with resistance bands at T.J Maxx for like 8 dollars or so.. haven't done much with it yet, but I plan too!
  • I think it's just a matter of switching it up since your body is now used to those exercises. If you're looking for more things to do at home, I absolutely love the Turbo Jam dvd. It's a great workout and includes a few different ones, including some strength training and ab work.
