Thanks for all the info. I just love working on my workout and am coming to really looking forward to it. I don't really look forward to working out at a lesser capacity. I think this might have been the biggest goal I had in all this, enjoying working my muscles. I'm loving it!

I've collected a variety of ab dvds and try and do one (5-10 minutes) or two a day along with the cardio. The cardio to shrink and the ab exercises to see a notable difference there when the weight falls off. Because it will, right?!?!?! :wink:

Obviously I didn't get any answers to that question. I did a slower three mile walk this morning and kept my heart rate lower than 140, pretty much. I found that it really didn't satisfy me. So I decided to go ahead and do my five mile walk this afternoon and really appreciated how my muscles felt and the burn I got, I got…

I have a general idea of what weight I want to be, but mostly how I feel will determine the end weight. But, I also want to say that I want to find a point on the scale to focus on so that I can maintain this weight loss. I have lost weight in the past and didn't want to focus on a number on the scale, but just judging by…

I'm a little scared of failure. But I feel this site is such a help with that failure thought. Now, when I feel issues with eating, I have a place to go and share my feelings and get comfort, encouragement and answers. And if I don't need an answer to something or comfort I can blog on my blog page. I want to use exercise…

I don't really want to lose weight as slow as they suggest on this site so I've been looking around for what the healthy route is in all this. I've been working out around three times a day and sticking with around 1200 calories a day as well. I just found this article that I found interesting. I was looking for info on…

I'm sure I don't have the info you need, I'm heavy and have just started on this journey. How long have you been on it. Are you new to exercise? How long have you been eating and exercising like this? Someone must have an answer with more info. That's lots of variables. :sad: I'd like to hear what others have to share too.…

I've been just thinking about the fact that I don't eat a whole lot during the morning. I'm wondering about eating more earlier in the day so that I have a chance to work more of it off with my exercise. I do stay on a much more even keel when I eat a little something here and there. If I don't eat right away, I can get…

That's what we're here for, to build you up. Our families can be downers sometimes. I love this community and it will help us all to achieve our goals. :bigsmile:

I totally don't like the word cheat with eating. Who am I cheating on? myself? I love this site because it helps me to make great decisions for myself by tracking what I'm doing with my body. It just keeps me accountable and in turn I can make good choices now and in the future. Before this site, I was basically just…

I'm proud of you too! It's just so incredible to really grasp the concept that we do have the power to make that kind of a change in our lives. Way to go! You Rock!!!!

I stay at home and so do my kids (homeschooling). Six are still at home and three have moved on.

HEART MONITOR reply Awesome, I don't know how I never had knowledge of this great device before. So how does a heart rate monitor tell you how many calories you are burning? Also, do you have any suggestions for a device for me to get? I noticed that a lot of watches popped up when I searched for one on Amazon, have you…

I'm a little confused on how you know just how many calories you burn with a dvd. How did you know that you burned 254 calories doing that workout?

I haven't tried those, but I really like the Denise Austin ab workouts. She has three 10 minute routines in one dvd for variety.
