I am not on a diet plan. I burn more than I eat. Diet plans or "diets" fail in the long run.

check out my blog www.fitorgetoffthepot.blog.com I wrote about scale fixation yesterday. Don't be a slave to it- You are changing your body in ALL ways.

LOL thanks- good point. I just see so many people that respond to NEGATIVE things> I am trying to write something helpful and nada! How are you?? and thanks!

I lost 125lbs and didn't give a hoot what hours in which I ate. It's an old wives tale.

Does anyone read my posts??? lol

That's easy- put down the scale- get a measuring tape. Your body is changing- there are other methods of keeping track than a scale. Keep on moving. I love Turbo Fire too and am doing a Turbo Fire/Les mills hybrid- Oh and don't use the word CHEAT meal- If a thin person eats what they want, no one calls them a cheater- I…

I also don't go around telling people "boo hoo I am fat poor me" so that they feel obligated to make me feel better. That's why I think people try to be nice about it. I like the response that someone said about asking them if they feel healthy. You can be thin and unhealthy too.

I have to say i love this. There are SO many worse things to be than FAT. I used to cry when people call me fat as a kid. All it is is a discription of something- it's how we make ourselves feel that is the problem- not the word. Fat is not a bad word. It also makes me batty when thin people go around saying they are fat…

If I do join, I am not abstaining from sugar. I will be abstaining from binging. I know that some people think you have to abstain from sugar. I do not want anyone to tell me how to eat- so that may be a source of difficulty for me if I go to a meeting where people are judgmental.

I am 43 years old and have back issues yet I LOVE Les Mills!

Why do use the word CHEAT? I know it's just semantics but if a thin person eats junk, it can be just as bad for them but no one says they are cheating.

Thanks everyone! I think the issue is that I feel I am out of control and that is what scares me the most. I wake up each day feeling beat up and sad. Lately I have been able to work out a lot- but then due to a bad back- sometimes I am in a lot of pain. I have taken some pain killers the doc gave me but I feel that's just…

I have been a coach for some time with beachbody though I am not very good at it and have made very minimal with it - because I don't work it enough. I love Carl Deikler and believe in him and the beachbody products- the workouts!! Great, excellent workouts. I just want to promote their WORKOUTS and to help end the trend…

Don't let some loser in a truck determine your success. He's lucky he didn't say that to me - I would have gone batsh!t crazy on him! LOL

Please get out of the diet mentality- run from it- using the word DIETING and saying you will TONE after you lose weight are all ideas out of the 70's.

I love BB so much and am a coach. This is one thing that I am just not onboard with to be honest. and if one more of my facebook friends takes pictures of their gluten free meals I am gonna scream! LOL

i shouldn't have said hatred- but why do you feel you don't have 30 min a day for at least 3-5 days a week? It's worth it!

yes but then you may be skinny fat. What's the hatred with exercise?

This is silly- everyone has different preferences

Lose for yourself- not for a reunion!

I just came back too after a hiatus- I am here if you need me and would love support too :)

RUN- don't WALK away from this doctor- sounds HORRIBLE! Doctor's are often thinking they know everything and oftentimes they still believe old myths!

I agree completely.

I am sorry that you believe these myths that women bulk up if they work out or even lift weights. Check out women trainers from Beachbody like Chalene Johnson- she's anything but BULKY and she lifts weights. And please listen to the people here. 5lbs of muscle and 5lbs of fat weigh the same- but the 5 lbs of fat is a lot…

wow great! That's for an hour class?

Hello, what's the difference between cardio and aerobics? Turbo Jam is not all jumpy and nutty! LOL I think it's great and it's my fav work out. Les Mills is my favorite strength training! Love it!

Crunches-= still 70's weight loss thinking.

It's sad that people think they have to lose weight before they work out. I was 300lbs and doing kickboxing- as best as I could- to wait is insane. When I had a major surgery a year later and lost 125lbs - my doctor later told me that on the operating table- they were all amazed that after losing 125lbs, I had no hanging…
