What has helped was to buy a book about someone you admire and hear about their triumphs and falls. As cliche as it wounds, it could work. I read the 41-year-old olympic swimmer, Dara Torres' autobiography and Idk why, but it motivated me a lot, esp to work out!

Hey, ok for abs I do 30 v-ups, 30 rockies (when you go into a ball then to a hollow hold), 30 leg lifts, 30 regular crunches, and 30 then my feet are in the air and I life by head and my but at the same time. I try to do that twice a day. It sounds like a lot (it's 300 a day) but i started out doing 15 of each, and worked…

Thanks, I'm still not on track, but I'm going to start up again today... I guess this is just how it works:ohwell:

this whole week has been bad for me, i dont think that ive been anywhere close to my goals, and i dint even track yesterday or the day before. today is starting out bad as well, i dont think ill have time to exercise:sad:

i have a question too: when you weigh yourself and then post it on this site do you do it in the morning or at night?

Try to think of yourself as more than just appearance! Use another method of "weight" control - like waist size or body fat percentage. Think about Rose (you know who I'm talking about Dr. Who Fan), she has a healthy, attractive body and I bet she weighs more than 125... [/quote] Thanks a lat! and your right about rose…

Thanks, I'll try:flowerforyou:

I have a problem: whenever I go to pack lunches for the next day I always find myself having a cookie or a cracker or a bit of sandwich crust... how do i stop that? I think i need to start having MEALS and not just snacking, it's adding up, Im just scared to eat things that I can count the calories in!!!:ohwell:

I swim at least two hours a day for at least 6 days a week and I'm talking intense workouts. There's never too much as long as you are enjoying it.

I dont know how many I want to loose...my mom doesnt think that i should loose any, but that mom for ya. I weigh about 125ish, and im 5' 6" which sounds ok, but i want to feel comfortable so about 5 more lbs would be nice. I used to weigh about 138 by the way, and i wanted to get to 125, which i've got to and before this…

don't worry about it, it's just one day. And let this MOTIVATE you! I have a rule with my girl friends who all use this site that once every 4 weeks on a friday we stop counting for the evening and satisfy our cravings. It really helps becuase then you don't keep craving it and you can stay on track. You should try…
