Who on here mentioned the Biggest Winner Cardio Kickbox DVD? Was it Jerby?

Thanks for the recommendation!

Congrats!

I'm gonna go ahead and say Weight Watchers saved me from childhood obesity. I was HEAVY in middle school cause I stopped dancing and started eating more, and the doctor was like "do something about this before you reach your real teenage years". And my mummy didn't like the idea of going on a diet in middle school (but I was unhealthy, not good), so we weight watched and danced against and BAM! Gone in a matter of months.

Not only that, but I eat so well now. It really teaches you balanced diets.

GAH. Love it.


AND THOSE LEMON CAKES THEY HAVE? Good stuff.

Ack, I need to start eating well again. I've decided that I've got to lose 30 pounds before my next birthday. I've tried thousands of times but I always fall off the wagon. I've been excercising tons more lately, I just need to watch my eating.

Ack, weight watching is so hard.

ahmelie, I am exactly the opposite. When I have it in my head to lose weight, I can do well with the dieting portion for the most part. It's making the commitment to exercise regularly that I struggle with.

I've officially signed up for Weight Watchers. I had intended to earlier in the year, but there wasn't a meeting in my town and I wasn't sure whether I'd be able to do it myself. But now apparently there is one, so I'm on board.

Would love to correspond with you guys who are into my two main interests - 1) losing weight and 2) theatre - not necessarily in that order. Just got back from three day, 6 show splurge to NYC! Loved it. Did gain some weight, but there was alcohol involved. Have now lost that gain. Been going to WWW for a month. Must get healthier. When I return to NYC next spring - hope to be a normal size.

I want to share a tip - lots of you probably know this, but it was news to me. A couple of weeks ago I felt like I had put on a few pounds, and I didn't know why. I was exercising a lot, sweating a lot, etc. I spoke to my ballet teacher about it and she said it was because I was sweating and not drinking as much water as I had been before. Drinking too little water can cause bloating because your body holds on to your water stores if it's not getting enough. I immediately started drinking more water and got back to normal within a day or two.

That is always a good tip--water water water. I never drink enough.

Alright! Time to revive this old thread.

It happened--what I promised myself would never happen. I gained about 10 - 15 pounds.

it started as 'i can't go on vacation, so i'll just live like i'm on vacation'. then it progressed to 'new boyfriend happy fat'. then 'it's the holidays--i'm just gonna eat whatever'.

it doesn't help that I haven't seen my gym in weeks. it's a shame nysc isn't a non-profit so I could write off that donation they got for December.

Oh well. I did it before, I can do it again.

i'm gonna do the first 2 weeks of South Beach to detox all this sugar. then, i'm going back to doing WW, keeping a food journal so that I make this return to responsibility an obligatory project.

Who else is riding the shame spiral?

The happy new boyfriend and holiday I'm going to eat whatever fat got me. Back to Michael Thurman.

I mentioned this in another thread last night. Someone emailed me a pic of me, my sister, and other family members from Christmas Eve dinner, and I realized that I am - for the first time in our lives - thinner than my much younger, jock sister!

a big congrats to rath! that's a great feeling getting through this time of year victoriously.

for the rest of us, we will rise to the challenge again. and we will make progress.

I know for me--I have never hit the discipline of a food lifestyle at the same time as a discipline of a workout regimen. these next few months should be a milestone for me.

and remember--in no way are any of us starting from scratch--even if you feel like you are back at a previous starting weight. you have learned since the last time--that's going to make it easier. and those muscles are going to remember the game once you get back in it.

you just have to get back in it.

FITDAY.COM is an online "tracker" which I started using recently in addition to having lost 30 lbs. on WW, 1 lb. at a time, sacrificing nothing.

Check it out. It take a couple of hours perhaps to get used to the website and the analysis and food diary pages, but it is well worth it, because now it only takes me 15 minutes a day to post my food diary.
And I feel totally in control of everything I'm eating, and creating goals.
The PIE chart is really good, too. (not food, the GRAPHIC!)

Click EACH category on the left hand side.
GOOD LUCK!

nice, Rath!

I need to invest in a reliable scale, since I'm fairly sure the one I have now is a good 5-7lbs. off. According to that, I haven't gained over the holidays, but I'd like to know the actual numbers. Having recently moved, I need to join a gym here.

After a six month hiatus, I'm back on the plan. Re-signed up this morning. I've never been one to say, "New year, new me," but here goes nothing. Darn holiday weight gain . . .
