  • I've been trying to keep off the same 20 pounds for the last three years. I know how you feel. The last time around, before now, I was pretty successful at it, until my ego told me I would be fine without logging my food (effing liar). Now I've thrown all of the junk out of my apartment, log everyday (sometimes in…

  • Yes your shoes are too tight! LOL. Because the Bar Method utilizes interval training and works the major muscle groups, I'm not surprised by your weight loss. What you're doing is working out like a ballerina; simultaneously building and toning (ever wonder how they're so strong despite being so tiny?). And the more…
    in So I'm losing way more than my plan... Comment by Irkalla June 2013
  • How long have you been in the 160s? While it could be that you need to mix up your diet a bit more, maybe eat more smaller meals throughout the day to kick your metabolism awake, it could just be that you've been replacing fat with muscles. A lot of the time the scale doesn't give you an accurate picture of your health.…
    in Stuck in my 160s!!! Comment by Irkalla June 2013
  • Definitely a difficult one! Old schoolmasters don't challenge me to improve. My new mare, who I'm currently teaching how to trot properly, has strengthened my seat and leg more in a month than the schoolmaster I used to lease did in a year. She keeps me on my toes - I can't slack off with her! She pushes me more than any…

  • Forgot to post yesterday, but here I am! Walked at least 60 minutes today, including an off-property excursion on foot with my horse. :P I'm hoping by the end of this month I'll have dropped 10 lbs or more. Keeping my fingers crossed!

  • This will probably get lost... but... I have a similar binging problem - eating until I have the stomach aches from hell. I've not only done this with junk, but with fruits and veggies. I've even done it with water. What's happening is that your body is used to eating! It's been trained to be an eating machine. That's why…

  • Talk about a shoddily run stable... There would be a mutiny at mine if that happened! (partly because the owners grow some of it themselves) Might I ask just how it would make it more difficult to buy? If he can't feed Jackson, animal services (SPCA where I live) would seize him, which means he can't sell and wouldn't make…
    in It's breaking my heart... Comment by Irkalla May 2013
  • Hi everyone! I'm an Eventer in training at Kenlyn Arabians in CO, used to ride at Aurora Stables. I'm so glad that I switched because AS was primarily Hunters, had a few Jumpers and flat out didn't offer Dressage and didn't have access to trails, whereas KA does it all! I recently bought my own Arabian mare from them who I…

  • Hi everyone! I'm Rachel, a stay-at-home wife, hopefully a stay-at-home mom soon! My husband is Army and we're in Aurora at BAFB. I was pretty much on track with my weight loss until I started babysitting for an EFMP household t wo months ago... Lol I practically live here. Long story short, I started snacking on their…
