    For those of you having problems editing your posts:

    There is only a certain time frame where you can edit your post. I am not sure exactly what the time frame is, mins, hours. Your best bet would be to copy your old post and post a new one with the corrected info if your time frame ran out for editting your original post. :wink:

    Just for fun: In addition of my Synergie training and my 2 BodyPump/CXWorks/PowerCardio classes, I want to add some cardio training. Because my niece (7 years old) will do a 3K run on June, I want to be able to follow her this time without slowing her.

    Hey guys I would like to join. I've been yoyoing for a while and have been stuck at 220 for a while because I drink too much red wine. So I'm hoping that this time will be forever. I'm hoping to lose 100 pounds in 1 year.

    Total weight lost:

    This Month I'm focusing on Weight Training and incorporating cardio.. but not much cardio; just enough to get my heart rate up; trying to figure out the whole "fat burn zone vs. carb burning zone".... Bought a HRM and it i'm seeing changes; so I'm thinking it pays off to know what level of fitness you're working out at.

    Forgot to post this; better now than never :) I've been on a plateau for the last few weeks. Incorporated strength training x3 per week, and it's made me extra hungry. It's been hard for me to keep within my daily calories. I'm trying to drink more water, and stay away from vending machines.

    So not a great start to the month. :grumble: But I am happy to report that I am on Day 7 of being smoke free and in fact lost 1/2 a pound. :happy: At least that shows I am not substituting cigs for food (or at least not bad food). I think this will be a slow month for weight loss but it will keep coming off. I won't give up til I find my better body!!!!! I can hope next week will be better (but TOM is supposed to arrive) so maybe not but the 21st will be my great day :laugh:

    Now I am going to go drink some water!!! :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:
    Happy March Everyone!!

    hello all,

    I am new to this and hoping to find a way to stick to an exercise routine.
    I have moved to a new city to be with my husband and had gained 10 pounds since moving.
    There is not much going on and I am sitting and watching T.V on most days.
    I use to be very active and working before I moved away.
    Please advice?

    Thanks and good luck to all:)
