I'm in!!!

Are there any cheap gyms in your area? I pay $10 a month for a gym with weight and cardio machines only b/c I know I will go nuts w/o a gym but know I won't use all the extras in a nice gym. I supplement this gym with various classes around town.

Get a new scale!

Great job! You're looking great friend!

@ Poustotah Thanks for your routine! I love ideas! PS- I used to work in Highland Park so not too far from where you live!

Right now I just lift (either upper body or lower body using the machines) and do 30 min on the eliptical. I like to hear what other people do though b/c the gym can get very boring. This week I was thinking of doing arms, 30 cardio, legs, 30 cardio 4x per week and just going for a walk outside on the other three days.

Jolly Rancher Suckers!!! 1) They take a long time to eat and 2) If you're doing WW they are 2 points!

The links don't work for me, but congrats anyway!

I think you'd eat organic versions of condiments with real ingredients. For example I buy mayo made with olive oil and I understand everything that is on the label. As far as cereal and pasta, you could make your own of either if you wanted to be strict or just buy the cleanest shelf version that you can. I think most…

Beautiful girl :) Thanks for the motivation !!!

HATED it, but LOVED how kick butt I felt afterwards! My face was bright red for an hour!

Lots of ideas for main dishes but want some more ideas for sides that are tasty.

I love my HRM because it tells me how many calories I burned. The machines at the gym just give a general idea for someone of your age and body weight but are often WAY off depending on how fit or unfit you are. I also find it motivating because when I first started working out after not going to the gym for awhile, my…

How did you survive Phase 1?! SO HARD!

I would also say eat a healthy meal later. I, for some weird reason, LOVE McDonalds cheeseburgers (the small kid ones), but just one of those is 300 calories! That is a lot of calories for something that won't really fill you up that much. Plus there is no fiber or anything good in them. Make yourself an amazing healthy…

What are you eating. If you're eating fake sugar... that will make you go and that's not good. If you're eating quinoa, lentils, etc. that will help clean things out which is good and will make you lose more weight. If you're eating healthy then I think it's good!

If I track I do because it helps me stick to a specific limit. If I don't, it's easy to go above.

Well for me, it's hard to eat only one since they don't taste super sweet. Eating more than one Fiber One thing is NOT a good idea ;)

I liked the community aspect of WW but MFP's website is SO SO SO much better than WW's. NO CONTEST! If you want to spend the money, WW is fun and I did loose more b/c of the support.

I went to the gym and lifted upper body. Then I did 15 minutes on the stair stepper, 15 minutes on a bike, 30 minutes on a treadmill. Burned 758 calories and had an average heart rate of 138 :)

I always find that reading weight loss books, fad or not, are motivating. Maybe just pick it up at the library.

I have not read it, but I requested it at the library. After I'll read it I can let you know :)
