    I usually walk in the morning with my mom for 25 minutes, and ride my bike with my brother or sister for another 20. Occasionally, I go to the pool too and I know it doesn't seem like much, but playing Just Dance really burns calories! Basically, I've been focused on cardio but I want to start strength training soon! As for eating, I'm trying to stay around 1550 now. It's my magic number. :)

    I have been yo-yo dieting since I joined here in November 2011. My weight fluctuates between 5lbs and it has been so hard for me to break 145. I am going to get serious for this RIGHT NOW because in 79 days my BF and I are taking a cruise and I really don't want to feel uncomfortable in my skin. I started running a few months ago and can now run 10 minutes straight without feeling like I'm going to die! Trust me... that is a feat all in itself. Here is my game plan:

    Breakfast: Green Smoothie (2 handfuls of spinach, 1C almond mild, 1/2C Greek yogurt, 1 tbsp peanut butter, 1 frozen banana)
    Morning Snack: Apple
    Lunch: Chipotle (yes, this can get pricey... but I am terrible at packing and eating my lunch.) I get the veggie bowl: 1/2 scoop brown rice, black beans, green salsa, guacamole, and lettuce.
    Afternoon Snack: Carrots & Hummus
    Dinner: 4oz of protein with lots of veggies


    Workouts are as follows:
    Monday: 30 min. warm up cardio (tread or elliptical), strength training (arms, chest, upper back), 20 min. cool-down cardio (bike)
    Tuesday: 1 hr cardio (20 mins tread, 20 mins elliptical, 20 mins bike)
    Wednesday: 30 min. warm up cardio (tread or elliptical), strength training (core), 20 min. cool-down cardio (bike)
    Thursday: Pilates
    Friday: 30 min. warm up cardio (tread or elliptical), strength training (legs), 20 min. cool-down cardio (bike)
    Every other Saturday: Tuesday: 1 hr cardio (20 mins tread, 20 mins elliptical, 20 mins bike)
    Sunday: Rest


    I've been doing this work-out pretty consistently. I just REALLY like to reward myself afterwards by eating pretty terribly and I haven't seen the scale move much because of this. I'm ready to get REALLY REALLY serious about this. And you know what? If I fall off the bandwagon every once in a while, it's okay. My habits won't change over night and I am finally starting to realize this. :bigsmile:

    I am the same way! I can work out consistently and work my butt off really hard but when I'm on my way home all those fast food restaurants make my stomach growl with envy and sometimes I give in. =/

    i'll definitely be watching what i eat - just trying all around to eat clean, with less carbs (i love crackers and pretzels and potato chips and things so i'll need to curb that.) exercise comes easier to me than the diet thing, so this is where i'll have to watch out.

    running is my workout of choice. i'll try to punch it up with some circuit training and yoga (I just bought a pass on groupon!). and run for longer times and try to up my pace. yesterday i ran 2.75 miles in 30 minutes without stopping! eventually try to get my pace up to 10min/mile.
