just got back from the gym and I am soooo happy that I did. Though, I do feel worn out and totally out of shape! I am glad that I went! I hate feeling sweaty and spent! I am glad that I went! I have to rush to get the kids from school and I don't have time for a shower. Yuck!!! BUT...I AM GLAD THAT I WENT!!! RIGHT???? LOL

Ooh, those sound good!! I'm gonna make the taco soup tonite!! Yummy!! Thank you sooo much!

I know that once I got on a regular cardio schedule, my periods skipped for a bit and then they became regular again. They lasted for fewer days and were shorter though. Hope this helps!

Anyone have any great simple soup recipes??

charny, I love that advice!!! I will definitely put it to use!! I just got back from the gym and I am soooo happy that I did. Though, I do feel worn out and totally out of shape! I am glad that I went! I hate feeling sweaty and spent! I am glad that I went! I have to rush to get the kids from school and I don't have time…

You guys are awesome!! Anyone who can get my bootie to the gym without me kicking and screaming is okay with me!! :wink:

You guys are amazing!!! Reading your posts and killing the time just browsing on these message boards has given me the ummmfff I need to get off my butt (as many of y'all have told me to do)!! I will be going to my spin class thanks to all of my new friends here. This site and all of you are a Godsend! It's nice to talk…

One thing that I kept saying to myself during my divorce-THE ONLY WAY OUT IS THROUGH! I hope it helps you the way it helped me. Divorces and exes are like gum stuck on the bottom of your shoe. So much residue but you can do it slowly but surely!! Take care!

thanks for all the motivating words! Especially the firm ones!! :happy: My spin class isn't for another hour. I had a breakfast of oatmeal and yogurt and now I am watching the clock. I have lots of laundry to keep me busy til then...but it's a long hour!!!

I am feeling soooo lazy today! I am talking myself out of working out today! Help!!!! I know I will hate myself later if I don't go. Help please!!!

thank you shkaki. It does help! This is another reason why I was so bummed out. I lost 30+ pounds a couple of years ago on spin alone. I used to spin 4 to 5 times a day, one of those days being a 90 minute class. I have not worked out regulalry in close to two years and am now trying to get back. I've been spinning 3x a…

Kay, I read your profile. What an inspiration you are!! Way to go!! RKJR-thank you for the advice!! I love the piggy picture!

I eat when I am bored. I eat when I am stressed. I eat when I am sad. I eat when I am angry. And yes...sometimes I even eat when I am hungry. To combat this I try to keep a water bottle handy, but what is a good snack that will satisfy? Something that I can eat a lot of and not feel guilty or get fatter with?? Is there…

I originally put this post under fitness and exercise, but I think it fits here better! Sorry! I was soooo not motivated to go to the gym today. I went! (though, honestly, I still don't feel very motivated.) I went to spin class and I don't know what happened. Generally, I love spin class-once I get my butt there, that is!…

I was soooo not motivated to go to the gym today. I went! (though, honestly, I still don't feel very motivated.) I went to spin class and I don't know what happened. Generally, I love spin class-once I get my butt there, that is! But today, ten minutes into it, and I felt tightness in my chest and dizzy. It was hard to sit…

thank you thank you!! BTW- I love the name skinnydreams!! :smile:

Start with small realistic goals. Don't think about the end number you are aiming for! Pat yourself on the back when you hit those 5 pound goals...this whole thing works in baby steps so that's the mindset we need.

All right ladies! I just stumbled on to this site earlier today and came across your challenge! Scared as I am...I think I will give it a try. Currently I am spinning 3x a week and aiming to add two days of weights...maybe half an hour. (do i need more??) This is day one of writing down what I eat and making sure I always…

I need support badly. I lost 30+ pounds a couple of years ago and have recently remarried and gained almost 15 back! I want to look good for myself and for my husband. (who by the way also gained weight in the past year and has started working out religiously for the past month. He has lost 15 pounds and looks amazing!!) I…
