My situation exactly! And I got most of the same information when I posted a thread about this last week :) Keep at it and good luck!

Thank you! I'll look into some of these things and get to it! Once I get in there a couple of times my cold feet will go away. As always, it's just the initial step that is always the hardest!

Your rsults are amazing! I see that you started heavy weight lifting. I want to get into that as well. How did you start? Meaning, did you just jump into the free weights section of the gym head first, or did you start with a PT?

I just downloaded the JEFIT app. It looks great!!

I have the New Balance N4. I got it off of Amazon for about $65.00. I LOVE this HRM. It tracks your HR (obviously) as well as time, calories burned and can save up to 5 workouts at a time. It comes with both a chest strap and a watch so you can see your HR throughout your workout. I highly recommend this HRM!

What about a chili? You can also make a healthier chili by substituting beef for ground turkey, or if there are vegetarians, you can eliminate the meat all together. I have come up with a (what I think) is a DELICIOUS chili. It is pretty spicy though, but you can change it to your taste. Spicy Turkey Chili 1 pound ground…

I almost always make veggie & chicken soup with the left overs. To be honest, I like the soup more then the chicken itself :) It's also a great way for me to use up some left over veggies that I have in the fridge before they go bad.

I just made a batch tonight for dinner :)

YUM! Thanks guys!! KEEP THEM COMING!! I have already taken the ground turkey out of the freezer so I can make some of this deliciousness tomorrow night for dinner!

Start slow! If you try to change everything all at once, chances are it isn't going to last. Start small, like trying to eliminate soda from your diet, then no fast food. If you make little changes, it wont feel like you are "dieting". No, the weight isn't going to magically dissappear over night with small changes, but it…

Thank you!!

I stole a recipe from another post for spaghetti squash and "alfredo" sauce and made it tonight for dinner. I was STUFFED and it was about 300 calories. I very roughly measured everything, so I'm just going to list the approx amounts. It will feed me for at least 3 meals... 1.5 cups Green peppers 1.5 cups Red peppers 1 cup…

Weighing in daily would drive me bonkers! Thanks for your input!!

Thanks everyone! I've never actually done kickboxing before so I didn't even think of it! ...Granted I've never taken any martial arts either... Thanks!

It came with the P90X dvd's

You look FANTASTIC! I just got P90X in the mail, and have been excited/terrified of starting it. I'm going to try to keep up, but that might be pushing a bit too hard to start. All I can do is my best, right? I'm starting tomorrow! (I have to work tonight) Thanks for the inspiration!!

Thanks! I'm still a newbie. Just trying to figure things out a little at a time :happy:

I am an equine and farm property insurance agent. Anyone have any horses they need insurance on?! heh

What's Kettlebell?

If you don't want to stay right in the city, you might want to look into staying in a town that is right on the MetroNorth train line. That way you won't have to worry about driving/parking in Manhattan (I find it to be both terrifying and a pain in the butt!) The only thing with that is that you might have a train commute…
