mouth 0 #5 February 11, 2005 Down 1 to 127.....it is slow but at least it is going in the right direction. I have another week or two before I get to do body fat comp at the gym, but I know some of this fat has to have been replaced with muscle cause I hurt too much from working out for it to stay the same. -- Hot Mama At least you know where you stand even if it is in a pile of shit.

wmw999 2,439 #7 February 11, 2005 I'm up 2 for the week. I exercised every day, though, so when it does come off, it'll stay off. so it's back to 10/0 Wendy W.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it.

cbain 0 #14 February 11, 2005 Well, I'm down 1 lb for the week. Not too shabby considering this weekend was Mardi Gras. So that's -4 altogether. Now I just have to avoid all that Valentine's day junk this week. Started at 205 Current: 201 Goal: 150 Sigh, still so far to go... I've been doing 45 minutes on my excerise bike 5 days a week. I've cut out almost all beer & chocolate and am eating healthier choices. I can't afford to join a gym and I don't have a lot of time. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to kick it up a notch to see more results? In the past I've always found that if there's any event I want to train for I'm more motivated in working out in order to perform for the event instead of just to lose weight. But I haven't found any event to train for. I hate running so 5ks, etc are out. Any other suggestions? I thought about a short adventure race but that's typically 2 people and my husband refuses to work out. That's my other problem, he doesn't work out, he drinks beer and and eats terrible and doesn't like it when I cook healthy for us both. I've started to get healthier alternatives for myself, so when he wants chips, if I'm feeling tempted I'll eat a handful of mini rise cakes instead, or I'll eat a yogurt when he's eating ice cream. Any other suggestions on how to eat and excercise healthier when your other half is no help? I refuse to cook two seperate meals for us.

selbbub78 0 #17 February 11, 2005 Well the one thing that I have just started to do, is watch my calorie intake. I try to keep it on the lower side. Assuming that you burn 1500 calories of 'normal' activities, then do the exercising on top of that. I try not to eat more than that, then the exercising on top of that helps. I also haven't cut EVERY BAD thing out (since i know i'll go back to chocolate and beer...), but just cut down on it. It seems to kinda be working for me. Last week I also started a log book on what I was eating every day, with a calorie count next to it. That way when you "cheat" you feel bad (at least I do). There's a few good websites out there that have tons of information on calories of foods out there. That's how I'm starting to do it. This week was a bad week for me, but I still managed to go down 2 pounds. These ideas may sound crazy, but i THINK they work. I'm not positive, but seems to be doing well for me. As for your husband, that's a tough one. My boyfriend is thin, it's ridiculous because he barely does anything during the winter, but manages to not have to worry about losing weight like all us NORMAL people. It is tough in the beginning to not give in to having a beer with him, or if he's having ice cream at night or chocolate, or whatnot, but if you can manage to do that a few times, you slowly build up the will power. At least I have anyway. Or maybe just cut back slightly. Just some ideas. Hang in there, you're making progress, that's what's real important. You can do this. We all know you can!

freeflir29 0 #19 February 11, 2005 Damn........I should have been in on this. I think I gained about 10 lbs while being a bum in Florida. Too much beer and too many steaks. I thought to myself how great life is when I got up this morning and had 2 scrambled eggs, the leftover half of my Filet Mignon, and some potatoes for breakfast. Hope we don't do the PT test till the second week of training. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cbain 0 #20 February 11, 2005 Thanks for the recommendations. Do you have any particular websites that are easy to use in finding the calorie content of stuff? In the past I found it difficult in estimating how many calories I was actually eating and I think I under estimated a lot so it never worked. Or I'd forget to right down that handful of nuts I ate sitting at my bosses desk. Is there an easy way to keep track of it all without going insane? I'm slowly building up some will power with the husband thing and having the healthier "alternatives" to snack on when I'm tempted help a lot. I just wish he'd be more willing to go for a walk with me every now and then or go to a park to play, just be more active. It's hard to get motivated when he just sits on the coach and never gains a pound. Thanks again, Christina Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
