Good for her at least being willing to give it a try. That is the first step. :smile: I try to tell women that it's not muscle that bulks them up, it's fat. :tongue: Maybe one day they will listen. Oh, and that weights that weigh less than their purse won't help them out much.

She looks great! I try to convince many ladies of this very fact, but many don't believe me and say they don't want to bulk up.. even when I tell them that they won't because they lack testosterone. Oh well. They'll be envious when I look like Jamie and they don't. :wink:

Carmine's Italian Restaurant is really good and well known (http://www.carminesnyc.com/). They actually opened one up in DC which I need to check out now. Pizza from pretty much anywhere in New York is good - best pizza around. Try a bagel for breakfast too - NY bagels are good. :smile:

What a great NSV! Congrats!

Good for you! :smile: Love those NSVs!

Since you say you do a lot of cardio, switch some of those out with strength training. You should strength train 3 times a week to gain some muscle mass which will fight the fat and lower your body fat percentage. And no, muscle won't bulk you up. :wink:

I hope everyone is doing well! Weigh in today is 147.2! I finally broke in to the 140's this week. Wahhoo! :)

You totally got this, Kim! One thing I could say that would be a compromise is to get a cheap lockable filing cabinet, and have him put the junk food in there and lock it away with a key. Or he could have a hiding place that you don't know about. :tongue:

tagging. they sound yummy.

I totally bounce around. I am stuck at the low 150's high 140's, just keep bouncing and not losing. Try changing up your workouts if you have been doing the same thing. Add some HIIT (high intensity interval training) and strength training if you haven't already. Just keep trying. :)

Bump! I love nutella and biscotti!

Congrats on the NSV! That is a big one! :smile: I am hoping to have this happen at the conference I will be attending in September. haha :wink:

The first group recycles the underwear into rags and sells them - so they are not getting reused as underwear :laugh:

You're very welcome! I hope that it works out for you! :smile:

I would say move them around to put the legs workout in. So maybe this: Mon - Zumba Tues - Running Wed.-Core Synergistics Thurs.-Shoulders and Arms Fri.- Kenpo or Cardio X Sat.- Legs & Back Sun- rest (although not really since it's house cleaning/yard work day)

I love my black diamond headlamp! I have used it for hiking and caving. Good stuff. :)

Where in VA are you moving? :smile: Cristina - I think the plan sounds good! Just reminder posts of when to weigh in would be helpful, particularly since it is every two weeks. I weigh in for another group on Fridays, but a Monday weigh in could keep me from trashing my whole weekend haha.

How is everyone doing today? I hope you get a workout in (unless it's your rest day) and eat well! :smile:

Hey Cristina! I am Stephanie.. and I am not sure I'd want to look like a celeb, but I'd love to look like this crossfit girl - http://www.crossfit.com/mt-archive2/Games2010FLSectionalsDay2_0111.jpg :tongue:

Hey there! Well, I am 23 - out of college. I work 30 hours a week + graduate school.. so I am totally there with you. I have about 15 lbs left to lose (on and off) or about 9% BF to lose. Would be interested in another support group. :smile:

You look great! Keep up the great work! :)

Great job! You look great!
