I rest on Sunday.

I hate the "naturalness" of the pounding headeache I get from running or using the treadmill. But I love how the low impactedness of the elliptical enables me to exercise with no pain and for a significant amount of time.

I love the Octane Lateral Ellipcal!

I have been using the Lateral Elliptical for the last several months. I just adore it. I used to use the regular elliptical for an hour and wouldnt' see any benefit other than maintence and cardio. But on this thing, I can do more in 30 than I could in an hour on the other one. It also has a benefit of working my core so…

I don't have a competitive bone within me and I am not into trash talk. In third grade when my friends who were boys tried that on me, I gave up from the get go and lost all interest. I still would be invovled in Ballet, tap, acrobatics and Toe because those are non-competitive activities. And not a fan of the communal…

Me, too. Sucralose does that to me as well.

Big church dinner with lots of yummy food. I have already given myself the pep talk that just cuz it is there doesn't mean I have to eat it all. And I am getting ready to go to the gym to work off that food in advance.

This is my problem, too.

I can burn off more and with less pain on the elliptical.

Oboe, Flute and Tenor Sax. I tried the Bassoon once but that thing was HUGE! I couldn't hold it up.

Guess I better not get new frames until I have lost all my weight, huh?

I do something similiar. I buy sale items from my favorite store but only in smaller sizes. I dont' replace the whole wardrobe, but do insure that I have staples. And since they are from my favorite store, I have an incentive to want to get into the clothes. I have clothes for several size ranges. My issue is that the…

I plan ahead. Other wise I eat poorly and feel hungry later on. With good planning, I can eat smaller amount of calories with high fiber, good protein and low fat and feel full for a long time.

Interesting. Whenever this happened in the past, I would gain, get discouraged and give up. I was at that point this week because it was happening again. Now, I know not to give up as this is normal after all. Thx!

Could you explain this for me? I thought it was just me who gained weight after increasing exercise.

I once had a doctor who made sure that I knew that I was a piece of garbage who was wasting the good air that the rest of y'all could be breathing. If I had listened to her, I 'd still be on the couch waiting for death to occur. Instead, I ignored her [not easy when one is crushed], and decided to have a life and a much…

When I go on vacation, I always loose weight. My weight loss/gain is connected to my anxiety levels. Thus, while on vacation, I am happy and lose weight easily without even trying. My mother looses weight easily while on vacation too, because while on vacation she can't snack or graze like she can at home. She and I are…

I'll be going there this fall. Thanks for the added motivation!

Same here.

Hypothryoidism, anxiety disorder, chronic migraines, cancer treatment and my aunt's passing.
