@jlbateman2017 i actually looked this up before reading your question. i've been swimming again since OCT2020, but my eating remained crap. last month, i recommitted to healthy nutrition combined with swimming to lose weight. i was swimming daily. my gym has 4 pools. the one i swim in is a heated therapeutic pool. 2 days…

@jlbateman2017 I've considered the following, but I don't want to spend the money now. Maybe it'll be a treat when I hit my goal weight - which I'd like to hit by 30JUL2023. I have ton of dumbells, bars with plates, and kettle bells at home. So, I don't need to spend money on these now. Hardly anyone swims at my pool which…

@jlbateman2017 standing counts for A LOT when it's something you haven't normally done. Regarding swimming, I use pool weights. My pool is at a gym and they have pool exercise equipment. The weights I use can be found on Amazon.…

My April mini-goals are to swim for an hour everyday that I'm not traveling for work and to log my food. To be honest, I should have swam 01APR, 02APR, 03APR and 04APR, but did not. I also didn't log my food. Ususally, if I'd planned goals at the beginning of the month and hadn't done them for a day or two, I'd abandon the…

also, i use different strokes to target specific muscles groups/get a better burn. side stroke, butterfly, back stroke, freestyle ---

i swim 3 -5 times per week. use amazon to look up pool exercise equipment. my pool has different free weights to use for the water. do jump squats, lunges, push ups, lateral and other leg raises, bicep curls, dips, lateral raises, etc using pool weights. there is also a device one can use to suspend oneself in the water…

@TriciaBeingAccountable lol. i so agree. there i fruits that are seasonal that i love. i'm excited that cherries are coming up. i saw them in the grocery store this weekend, but at $6 per lb for non organic, i'm going to hold off until they are more plentiful and the cost reduces.

hi. maintenance was scary for me, too. I think u have a good plan. start with eating back half of the calories burned via exercise and see how your body responds. if your body isn't doing what you want then u can adjust up or down...jillian michaels says adjust calories up by 125 calories for 2 weeks and then add in…

BBCode it's great to see the group is still going,

ditto what thegreatcanook stated! "it can be done!" like my fav tim gunn from project runway says, "MAKE IT WORK!". i went from 244 lbs to 161 and still losing. IT - CAN - BE - DONE! make it happen...STICK WITH IT EVERYDAY! the lesson i learned is that i can eat pretty much whatever i want, but i can't have certain things…

It took me a year to lose 50 lbs (from January 2, 2012 - January 2, 2013). I went through a few cycles of losing and regaining. I'd lose 20 and regain 10. Lose the 10 again and regain 5. It took time for my mind and emotions to make the lifestyle change that I now live in. I've lost an additional 20 lbs since then and I'd…

Insanity is also on Youtube and if you inbox me, I can tell you where I purchased it for really inexpensive. Dont be afraid to look at iOffer, ebay, etc.
-
i've never done 30DS, but started Insanity last Monday (yesterday was my rest day). ALREADY, I see changes in my arms and STOMACH! I lost 5 lbs even during my menstral cycle. i've always been athletic and have been working out all year. so, although Insanity is challenging, it's not as tough as i was thinking it would be.…

two thumbs up! thanks for sharing!

i've been wanting to try it, but have been slow to because so many people say it's so good and i don't want to start up yet another thing that's going to be a negative for me. however, i do have one tablespoon of peanut butter on toast 2 - 3 times a week if i have toast. so, i think i'd be okay with nutella. i clipped a $1…

I'm going to try tonight.

Sounds delish!

I'm in.

Let's do it!

always took full body shots at whatever weight i was and posted many of them to my FB page. i've always been confident even when i wasn't pleased with my weight, but fully understand your position.

YOU GUYS ABSOLUTELY ROCK!
