i dont weigh myself, i dont think that i will until i actually can fit into the size pants that i want to fit into (9-12, depending on the brand) cause im doing alot of weight training as well as cardio and i know that my weight probably wont change by much if 'm replacing it with muscle...and ive done this before and it…

man if i could lose 9 inches i would be one happy lady!:smile:

i think that as long as you are going to the restroom and peeing throughout the rest of the day, that it doesn't really matter how much water you have, especially other activities that cause you to sweat, in my opinion your body is always releasing water and needs to be replenished. i dont think there should be a limit…

always make sure that no matter what kind of exercising you are doing, that you keep your back straight and keep your stomach tight, which will help to keep them firm, crunches are great, but just the plain basic crunches will get kinda repetitive so try mixing it up with lower leg lifts, crunches on an exercise ball, side…

i do plently of warming up and try to focus on your breathing while you work out. i have chronic asthma since i was a baby. and i talked to my doctor and found that if i take a couple of puffs of my emergency inhaler BEFORE my workout,(albuterol or whatever you might use) it really helps me out EXTREMELY with my breathing,…

i LOVE the elliptical trainer, and my second favorite is the equipment that enables me to do the hanging leg lifts, im not sure what its called but its where you hold yourself up on bars so that your legs hang down freely, and you lift them up as high as you can, it REALLY works my upper thighs, and that annoying lower…

pilates and yoga is really good, because after i did those i was sore in muscles that i didn't even know i had. also, a VERY HEALTHY diet and cardio plus core training exercising 4-5 times a week will help you with that. i know because i have one, but after a few weeks i've noticed it getting smaller. i wasn't doing enough…

yea subway may seem healthy but a big mistake that alot of people make is thinking that just because something is healthy they can eat ALOT of it. moderation is definitely the key in weight loss. and i've found that with moderation i can still have the treats that i like, even though i still try and stay away from high…

yes just doing cardio for me doesn't work as fast and just lifting weights makes me bulk up too quickly and i want to look leaner, so i am doing some workout dvd's called The Firm which incorporates cardio with light weights and at the beginning of this month i was a size 16 and now im a 14 :)

yea i'm pretty sure my husband burns more calories than me since he does all the work:tongue:

I, much like yourself, love to treat myself with something saucy and greasy like mexican food (i'm from san antonio so i pretty much grew up on mexican food, which is also why i'm overweight today..) anywho a while back i decided to work out and diet and i was sticking to it and doing so good that i decided to reward…

another thing that is fun to play is the dance dance revolution cause i think they have a setting on there thats called 'weight loss' or something and it counts all the calories you burn while you're playing and man do i work up a sweat on that!

i did the 48 hour one some time ago, and although afterwards my weight on teh scale was 7 pounds lighter in two days, i was nautious, had a horrible headache, diarrhea, and cramps, and after i stopped the diet and started eating regular food again, i gained it all back :(

im originally from san antonio, texas. (which is ranked in teh very top of the fattest cities in the united states) and this might also be because it is the only city i know where you can get a bucket of 50 nuggets from mcdonalds for about 8 bucks

i usually just have a bowl of healthy cereal with a side of fruit like a banana or orange

i'm too embarassed to put mine up since i was in a bikini but i definitely am loving the before and after proof!!! i was a size 18 and now i'm a size 16, and i'm hoping to be a size 11/12 by next year

i went for the whole month of october, 3-4 times a week, and i've been dieting and drinking lots of water (and i hate water!) but anyway i was trying really hard to get those pounds off and i lost not one inch or pound that entire month come weigh-in time....so i'm trying other things on my own just working hard in a…

:wink: before i started my diet i took my digital camera and had my husband take a picture of me in just a swimsuit, standing up straight, not sucking in anything, just there....so at the end of this month i'm going to have him take another set of pictures of me in the same swimsuit standing the same way, and then i can…

i dont even have a scale in my home so i just really try to pay attention to the way that my clothes fit me to see if i'm making any progress. and i know after time pants can stretch when you start walking around in them so i like to put them on right out of the dryer to see if it gets any easier to put them on as time…

wow im definitely starting to like this site here. thank you all very much for your kind words:heart:

:flowerforyou: :grumble: well i started curves last march, and had originally lost 7 1/2 inches of body fat in my first month, i stopped going for a while (huge motivational problems and sheer laziness) so i'm starting again and i went back to curves in october, worked out 4 times a week, changed my diet, lots of water,…

thats great because the dishes that i plan on making, if i have one serving of each, really isn't all that bad!!!! i'll start out very small and only eat what i can because i know that if i load my plate up (which is what i used to do on thanksgiving because everything looks so good!!!) i'll just be tempted to eat…

:noway: yea i can barely do 30 minutes on a tredmil...i'm just starting out though and i have a year to reach my goal weight of 135-140...i've been eating MUCH smaller portions and exercising hard to get ready for thanksgiving!!! and even then i have to be careful, this will be my first year without my usual one thousand…
