I'm on week two! The toughest part are those damn burpees. I'm not flexible at all so they are extra tough.

Good to know, thank you!

oh great suggestion! thanks!

Thanks All, i talked to a trainer, they too suggested eating well... but, to target this area I'm also to include lots of core exercises. Using the core more will specifically target this area. Thanks for your suggestions!

I'm in the same boat. I gain 12lbs a few months ago and am trying to shed them now. My problem is I work really hard the first 4 days and expect huge changes. This time I'm working really hard to stay on track and remember that slow and steady wins the race. Good luck to you! We can do this! :flowerforyou:

Yesterday my computer died. I felt so lost, I normally have this site as my homepage and check it regularly (adding any food I eat or walks I go on). I was without the site for 24 hours and I totally fell off the wagon. I felt like my support system had left me (strange I know) I have a new computer now and I feel like I…

Hi Everyone, Just checking in to see how everyone is doing this week. I've been really great on tracking all my food and not slipping. I could add more water and exercise more. How are you doing?

Hi Everyone, Here we go! It's going to be a struggle... but if we keep each other on track we'll be able to do it! 04/13/09: 180lbs 04/20/09: 04/27/09: 05/04/09: 05/11/09: 05/18/09: 05/25/09: 06/01/09: 06/08/09: 06/15/09: 06/22/09: 06/29/09: 07/06/09: Final weigh in 07/12/09 keep in touch!

I'm in! I work harder when I am accountable to someone! This might be just what I need. :smile:

What does potassium do for the body? and what is the recommended daily intake?

I've been thinking about taking up Yoga or Pilates... How often do you do the dvd's each week? How long are they?

Till about 2 weeks ago, I did not crave junk food or sugar. Fruit or yogurt was enough to subside any sugar cravings. But for the last two weeks I have been going to weddings, visiting with friends from out of town, and have eaten a lot junk food and sweets. Now I can't seem to stop! Every afternoon all I want is junk…

We only did a quick session on my food... we are going to do a more extensive one in the future. But these are the points she gave me for now... She said breakfast is a must. 2litres of water a day. Include protein at each meal She said for the weaker forms of protein (ex. beans), eat a complex carb with it. I'm still not…

Going to try the Bodyattack class at Goodlife tonight. It's intense... so I'm a bit nervous. I spoke to my trainer last night about my eating habits. So today I am starting to record all my food and eating 6 small meals. It's going to be a good day! :flowerforyou:

Tonight I am meeting with my trainer for 60mins. We usually focus on strength training and form. I'm also going to commit to going to bed early. I think that's also important to a healthy lifestyle.

I'm in too, My goals are: 1. to loose 10lbs by Oct 1st. - resulting in loosing one dress size. 2. Strength training 3 times a week - resulting in inches lost 3. intense cardio 3 times a week - resulting in being able to take the Body Attack class at Goodlife and not be terrified that I'm going to keel over. 4. eat less…

It's close... but try to have at least half of your water each day be straight fresh water.

bump - Go Ali!

This happens to me every time I start to loose weight. I start to see results… which is awesome. However, my mind starts thinking, "I know what I am doing" and then I start being less strict when tracking what I eat... I don't push myself as hard at the gym... and before I know it, I am back to my old habits. :grumble:…

Hi Everyone, I have been using this board for about 2 weeks now. For the most part I never thought of myself as a bad eater and I am fairly active, but this site has helped me cut down on my calories and motivated me to boost the intensity of my work outs each week. However, I haven't really seen any change. I have gone to…
