I LOVE to spin :love: What a workout! Well, actually, I switched it up to mornings with this new teacher and he SUCKS and plays crappy music, so I have to kind of do my own thing, but with the right teacher, it is amazing!

Thanks, yes, I do love them too :love: I got in 5 miles this morning on the treadmil and I didn't end up running the extra 2 yesterday with the doggy. I MIGHT do it today, but geesh, it's chilly out there, but I have to adjust :sick:

try swimming or the bikes, that might help :smile:

Oh btw, I ran just 2 miles this morning after spinning, I might run a couple more miles this afternoon to get my dog's energy out, so we'll see.

Hi all, can I join this group. I love running and would like to join a new group of runners. I think I'm running a half in march, so this would be a good start :)

Can I use chicken breast or just like legs and stuff? Nevermind this question, I read the actual recipe and it called for breast :embarassed:

That was my next question, thanks for answering :smile:

Mine is too, about 1 inch above my belly button.

ok cool, thanks for the feedback guys. I think I will measure every lump I have on my waist just to see if its all going down :laugh:

oof ya, than it's prolly muscle mass, or it could be that you're not eating yoru exercise calories. Everyone here says you should eat the calores you burn :smile: I hate working out hard and not seeing results you want to see :sick:

Wow, same thing happened to me a few weeks back. I was working out like no ones business and the scale wouldn't budge :explode: :grumble: I was ready to throw the scale out the window and go eat a whole pizza :laugh: For me, I realized I wasn't really watching my calories OR my sugar, and the sugar really sticks to me…

Hi all, sounds like everyone had a good week. Unfortunatley, I was not able to weigh in, I completely forgot to weigh in before I went to the gym this morning :grumble: Tahmed, give it some time, like you said. As you already know, your body does fluctuate and go through changes, which is probably what's happenning now,…

Ok good! I'm looking to get this dang tire off of my waist and to slim down as well. My body fat is distrubted pretty much all over, but the last place to go (of course) is my one huge love handle :sad: Oh well, let's all stick together and lost it together!

Hi guys, is this a group, can I join?? I'm chubby and in my twenties :embarassed: I weigh 152.8 this morning and am 5'8" I tend to stay around 145-155 mark and am hoping to break my pattern and be around 130-135. I'm hoping we can all motivate eachother!! :smile:

It's best to eat a meal after a workout because your body is still burning calories. If you want to have a snack before hand, however, you should eat about a half hour before your work out and carbs before your workout and it's best to eat protein afterwards, for recover. As far as the time of day, that's entirely up to…

Hi everyone! Good job on the losses, something is better than nothing, espeically during turkey day! I actually lost a about a pound as well, so yay, I'm pretty happy about that. Let's all keep it up!

Hi everyone! Sorry I've been MIA, Idon't really come on here on the weekends and yesterday we were just partying here at work :drinker: Anyways, I see most have had good weeks. Tahmed, good job on the 3 pounds! Taht's tough, especially during this time of the year,well at least for me. I ate A LOT this weekend, but I…

Bumping for later.

Let this be your motivation to get to where you want to be!

Yeah, so me. I've been eating "healthy" sugars but unfortunately, I've reasoned with myself that because I"m working out so hard, I can eat sweet processed candies. I have not lost ANY weight in 3 weeks, but now taht I'm just eating healhty sugars and am watching my sugar intake, my weight is finally coming off. I've never…

YES IT DOES!! I have been at the same weight for 3 weeks and am eating right and working out like a fiend. I have just decided to cut out sugar (not all sugar) and I have lost like 3 pounds since the beginning of this week. I realized I was eating way too much sugar (and most of it was healthy) but needed to cut back.

That's why she shouldn't have said what she said and made assumptions. I think you look great in your pictures and not once did I think you look unhealthy. You know what looks and is good for you and she doesn't. Keep doing what your doing and reach your goal, you're not out there to please anyone else but yourself :smile:

That is hurtful. People always do that...oh you look great why do you want to lose weight! I know what I want to look like and everyone's idea of looking good is different, so unless asked, they shouldn't be giving their opiniong...and if she wanted to give her opinion she should have approached you in a nicer fashion.…

That sucks! I must confess that I CREATED my own candy drawer full of halloween candy, but have thankfully finished it and the temptations no longer there. I knew better, but I did it anyways :sick: The other temptation here is the manager usually brings in donuts and pigs in a blanket first thing in the morning and it…

You do have this! You'll be fine as long as you're focused and you know you're doing the right things to lose it!

Everyone slips up now and then. Don't let it get you down and just move on like you normally would. :drinker:

I think so :huh: I just cut it up into small chunks and it worked out fine. :smile:

I know how you feel. There's always temptations and you're so stressed out that you end up making the WORSE food choices. I am no angel when it comes to this, but sometimes I can manage. What works for me sometimes, is to bring food with me and pack my lunches. I know that can be tough sometimes, but it's very beneficial.…

Way to get back in the game, I totally didn't read your full story. I'm sorry that that happened, but am happy you have gotten the motivation to get through it!

Hi ladies, I guess this is the first post for the morning. I'm excited for today because I've been watching my sugars and am watching my weight come off! YAY! Also, I went for a 4 mile run yesterday after not running for a week because I hurt my knee in one of my aerobics classes and I didn't wanna over do it. Any who, it…
