weegegirl 2 #26 January 5, 2007 Jeff, you should join a bootcamp like me! I'm sure they have one around there. Then you can be like me and get up at 5am to have someone yell at you while you run a 5K uphill!!! And to think... I actually enjoy the torture!

LisaM 0 #27 January 5, 2007 I started a sort of biggest loser with my parents and my husband. Anyway, you know there is a cool forum for jumpers wanting to lose weight? http://www.chuter.net/r2l/forum/login.aspx ~ Lisa ~ Do you Rigminder? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LisaM 0 #28 January 5, 2007 I am 5'2" and weigh a bit more than you. I want to get down to 120. My jeans are uncomfortably tight too. I wear them as much as possible so I can be constantly reminded not to eat too much. :) ~ Lisa ~ Do you Rigminder? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NWFlyer 2 #29 January 5, 2007 QuoteME! Unfortunately, I can't do much of anything related to exercise for a while. I hate running but I can not WAIT to put the shoes on and do a few miles after my knee heals from the surgery. Right now all I can do is monitor the amount of food I shove in my face. I seem to recall a photo of you lounging by a pool over there that you posted at some point ... what about swimming (till you have the surgery at least - I'm sure they'll expect you to keep it dry afterwards )?"There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

ryan_d_sucks 0 #35 January 5, 2007 Quote I lost 60lbs in 2005. The secret...diet and exercise. Burning more calories than you consume is the only way to lose weight...period. Everyone wants the get skinny quick secret to the universe. It doens't exist. Not in any healthy way anyway. That's the fucking truth right there. From May of 2006 until September 2006 I went from 245 to 194. I'm still working for about 10 more pounds until I'm done losing. There is no quick fix. Its all about dedication, pushing yourself, and will power. Part of me scoffs at the commercials that come on television for 'easy, quick weight loss' because that's just not how it happens. Sucks that some people's plight is a marketing opportunity for some asshat selling something that we all know won't work. Now part of my commitment to maintain and continue weight loss is that when its time to buy my own gear, larger canopies (for the 1:1 loading) cost more $$$$!!

BillyVance 34 #36 January 5, 2007 Gained 5 lbs over the holidays. Lost it right back off after new year's. 5'-6" tall and 145 lbs. I used to be 160 lbs when I was working as the company had a great cafe for breakfast and lunch. Working around the house and keeping up with the baby doesn't give me much time to really eat, but my knees aren't complaining.

livendive 8 #38 January 5, 2007 I'd like to lose some weight. It'd be nice to carry around 35-40 fewer pounds, but even 25 would be an improvement. Blues, Dave"I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hisgoofyness 0 #41 January 5, 2007 I have lost almost 65 lbs over the last year... My wife told me I had to stop, as I am getting too skinny. For the most part, I feel MUCH better. (of course I don't look any better though ) Once you make a lifestyle change in your eating habits, it really isn't that difficult. It just takes discipline...

happythoughts 0 #49 January 5, 2007 Quotea new dog that doesnt bite Those are great weight loss tools though. We have several dogs in our neighborhood that bite. They also do not understand the "slow jog" form of exercise. If you jog by their house, you get to sprint the next half mile or get munched. That is a great motivator. I highly recommend it for the serious exerciser. I am not that serious, so I carry snacks for the both me and the dogs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
