    I'm going to try to cut out all the sugary snacks that have been creeping back into my diet that I'm sure have been the cause of a month long plateau I've had.

    I'm also going to try mix up my long jobs with some speedier short runs.

    Best of luck to us all.

    AHHH I know that feeling! I bought a bunch of banana's and the original cheerios. Each cup of cheerios is ONLY 100 calories, and if i just put it in front of my keyboard, i can nibble on it here and there and it keeps me satisfied for some reason.

    Also, that's an awesome quote from your PT!

    I love cheerios....

    I need to drink more water and try new workouts. I tend to get bored fast. So I need to keep it new...

    do y'all just count calories or also your sugar intake

    I count both :)
    I am always high on my sugar intake and under in my daily calories

    I also count my sugar and carbs.....

    I'm going to...
    Run at least 10 minutes 3 times a week
    Walk/elliptical/bike 4 times a week for 20 minutes

    As far as food goes, I'm going to try and eat less processed foods (less than what I already am), more vegetables and fruit, less meat.

    I've just started the Tracy Anderson Metamorphosis Program. I'm on day 1. I've completed the strength training for today - what a struggle! Definitely have to get used to the movements. I've just started swimming, so using that as my cardio. Apart from that, it's dancing, jogging, eliptical trainer. Cardio 6 times a week, for 30 minutes a pop! TA Meta Strength training 6 times a week as well. Don't want November to be another lazy month!

    I'd like to try the intermittent fasting. It's not as severe as it sounds. But my missing (3) meals a week, that could add up to 1,750 calories or a weight loss of an additional 1/2 pound a week. I am a bit wary of the whole "body going into survival mode" thing, though.

    I'm upping my cardio but I'm also doing more HIIT workouts too that include weights in the workouts so...and no eating after 7! That's the hard one right there.

    Any suggestions on a good app to use to keep track of weightlifting?

    I have heard Jetfit is good. I tried it but being more of a runner it was just too much for me. My sister lifts but she likes to just use a good ol' notebook. :happy:

    I just started 30 Day Shred I'm on Day #3. I am going to make exercising everyday a priority. And I'm going to watch what I eat for dinner. It seems like I can eat well all the way up until dinner time.

    You've inspired me regarding the stairs. I pay out a small fortune each month on a PT but take the elevator at work. Stupid really and I should have thought of it myself, lol

    Good luck!

    Jillian Michaels will be my BFF during the week and saturdays are for training to walk long distances (half marathon in feb)...also, doing low carb - that seems to work best for me.
