Me too. I'M NOT OK WITH IT! :( Lol.

I agree with this, I really wanted to start working out in the mornings so I just made myself get up. It's not that hard, just tell yourself before you go to sleep (I say this outloud, too) that you ARE going to the gym in the morning. Once you wake up to hit the snooze button, remember what you told yourself the previous…

No problem :D I'm glad you like them!

Lately I really LOVE working out to "Gold Guns Girls" by Metric The last few minutes of the song she sings "More and more, more and more, more and more and more and more" and it literally makes me go more and more, lol. You should check it out! Also "Pogo" by Digitalism (Shininchi Osawa Remix), "1901" by Pheonix and "10:1"…

I know most people are against diet pills, and I can see why. I've tried many and they don't make you lose any extra weight. BUT! I like to use something just to give me a boost, something that will make me work out harder, especially because I like to work out in the early morning to get it out of the way. That is the…

I read somewhere that 8 cups actually isn't needed, but water really does do the body good. When I first started this thing I thought 8 cups would drown me, but now I drink about 2 liters a day, sometimes even more! I noticed my skin clearing up and feeling a lot softer, too. I use a 1L SmartWater bottle to keep track of…

Oh, I know. If only I had the money I would buy one... lol.

It's sorta like the Elliptical, except you have more freedom to move almost however you want. You can run with bigger strides like a gazelle on minute then switch it up to step climbing for a few minutes then switch it up again so you're just jogging. Heres a little video to show how it looks like:…

It seriously is. I'm so beat but I can't wait til tomorrow morning so I can get back on it.

I just tried this today. I was shocked at how tired I was after 10 minutes but I was able to push myself to do 30 minutes. After this I got on the regular Elliptical and was surprised to see that resistance level 9 was a piece of cake and had to go up to about 11 to feel like I wasn't just coasting. I'm going for the 60…

You're in Japan? I grew up in Japan! :D I realized maintaining or losing weight in Japan is no sweat. You can literally walk EVERYWHERE. I gained my 10-15 pounds in 6 months after moving to Texas. (Mexican food is awesomeeeeee *drool*)

Oh, another question. Would it be bad if I went down and tried to eat more of my exercise calories now? (it's about 7:20pm and I plan on sleeping at 9) Or should I wait til tomorrow to start over... ?_?

I was weighing myself almost every 3 hours but I realized it started to drive me crazy (no, duh -_-) so I got enough control to wait to weigh myself every Monday in the mornings after I use the bathroom and all that junk. After I started burning 1,000 cals through exercise I just couldn't help myself to see if there was…

After reading the first few replies I went down and made myself a sandwich, lol. I will try to eat a bit more to see how things go. I'm more pressured because my husband comes back soon from Iraq for a 15 day leave and you know how we gals love to impress our men. I mean, there's other reasons why I want to lose weight,…

Lol, right after I posted this I hauled my *kitten* to Safeway and bought 4 different kinds of cheese. Brie (of course *drool*) and 3 different kids of the Laughing Cow Lite. Mozzarella with tomatoes or something, garlic and herd and creamy swiss. Lol, Cheese Addicts Support Group sounds good. I'm in.

I did feel a lot different on the upright, sorta like I was able to breathe more easily or something. I shall stick with the upright from now on. Thank you for the advice! :tongue:

If it makes you feel any better, the last two days I've cheated. Ate whatever I wanted (even when I wasn't hungry :embarassed: ) and did no exercise at all. I just made sure I drank lots of water. Today I got back on track and hit the gym. Still not losing any weight though, lol. So don't worry about it. :)

HOW?!?!?!

Thanks for the comforting comments. It's so stressing because the last time I weighed myself I was actually gaining more weight. (I'm guessing its muscle). I haven't been able to go to the gym 'cause I've been busy, plus it's raining hard over here and I don't have my driver's license yet (lol). So these two days I ended…

Thank you for this, I don't plan on giving up but I was feeling very discouraged. Thank you thank you thank you so much.

I've actually been eating a lot less than I have been before. I don't do much weight lifting. I don't do it at all, actually. I use pilates resistance bands here and there, but I'm looking more to shedding pounds first. I do cardio for about an hour, first 20 minutes moderately, second 30 minutes on high intesity, then the…

Lol, I totally forgot about the whole sodium part. I think I should watch out for that (I do prefer salty or sour over sweets, lol). Thanks :D Good luck to you too!
