I used to spin regularly (for 6 months) and LOVED It - mostly bc I sweat my *kitten* off!! But I never acclaimated (sp?) to the seat. Never. Ever. most the time I spent up in the air, so I am sure I missed a lot of the point of it all. Totally awesome workout!!!

I would commit a crime to have a body like Jillian. I don't find batwings and big guts attractive at all. [/quote] I LOOOVE THIS COMMENT! And I agree - Jillian is beautiful!

YES! Me too

I think so too.

Good Luck Lou totally cracked me up...dont go too far, I am going to friend you. I need more humor in my life!! And I want to keep up with your progress! Post pix often!

Welcome!! Add me if you would like to build your circle of support!!! Good luck - its a great community!

Oranges & coffee - FOR SURE!

Excelllent!! Thanks for sharing!

Just take each day at a time. Try not to focus on the big picture - or the big goal - break down into smaller goals. Add as many friends as you can to your support circle - this will help you figure out who will help motivate you and you them - build good relationships and it doesnt feel so lonely. Best Wishes!!

Thank you all for your posts, comments and suggestions!! I was totally thinking the same thing, but was afraid to believe I could actually increase my c alories and lose weight. I mean what a dream to have someone say - "Hey if you want to lose weight, eat more calories." And I totally agree - healthy calories NOT junk!!…

I LOVE IT!! My kids are a huge motivator for me too!
