I have a daughter who lives in Orange Park, and might be interested in having a workout buddy. If she is would you like her to contact you?

If you are in Atlantic Beach Florida and would like to walk, jog or roller blade, give me a holler. I am looking for support to keep moving. Staying motivated is easier when you are working with someone.

Good luck. I wish I lived near you. I need a Workout Buddy too. I posted for Atlantic Beach Florida but no one answered. It is much easier to get motivated if someone is counting on you to be there for them. :ohwell:

Anyone out there in Atlantic Beach Florida. :glasses:

Be sure to pass it on.

Thanks for the encouragement all. I will keep on moving no matter how small the movement. And, a good whoop up side the head might do him some good.

When I feel like being a couch potato, I have 3 lb weights that I pick up and use for various arm exercises. My husband said I am wasting my time because this is not enough weight nor is it good muscle strengthen exercise. What do you all say? Am I wasting my time? :sad:

I have a question about making your body release calories instead of storing them away. If you eat something small and easy to digest as you work out, such as bringing a banana along on a bike ride or rollerblading, and munching on it or some nuts as you go along your route, would your body be more likely to use more…

I am at a stand still also. I lost 10 lb before i joined this site. I then lost 3 more, gained 4 back, and lost 2. What a drag. I play tennis singles and doubles 1 or 2 days a week and roller blade 1 or 2 days a week. Both these activities burn lots of calories. If burning 3500 calories more than you eat equals 1 lb lost…

Mopping the floor or pushing your vacuum cleaner burns calories. List them on your exercise list. I found that a 140 lb person burns 223 calories each hour mopping floors or vacuuming. There are many web sites to give this info for any activity.

No advice. There is no cure for stupid. :sad:

We are a world of instante gradification, but that is short lived. Hang in there. You will drop the pounds. I too have had the same problem. I weigh myself daily and sometimes twice a day. I find that I weigh less when I come home from work than when I get up in the morning, so that is the time I weigh every day. Everyone…

Running burns a little more, but roller bladding burns 3 times as many and is easier and more fun. Also elliptical trainer burns more per hour than walking and running. I have heard that you burn more fat if you stay withing a target heart rate for your size. :happy:

I can not get down and stay down. I have lost 8 to 10 lb, but keep going from 150 to 152 day after day. I eat 1200 calories a day and exercise 3 days a week. Some how I just can not get to 150 and stay there. I don't want to drop down to less than 1200 calories. I eat good food not junk. I am on the high side for carbs and…

Great job everone. keep up the good work. :flowerforyou:

If you smoke, stop, and use the money for gas. You will have better health, live longer and the food you do get to eat will taste better. :heart:
