Also don't forget to update any changes to your workout or eating habits. If you have questions, post them :)
BIG TIP FOR THE DAY(S): Crank up the intenisty, but know your limit. Basically, why not do 4.2 instead of 4.0 on the treadmill, but if you know that physically 5.4 would hurt you, don't do it. Be gradual. And progress slowly.
Post a pic of your wedding dress where you can see it everyday (your office desk, your computer desktop, in your wallet. This is one thing that will totally keep you motivated :)
Write down what you eat and when and how you work out. Like a diary. Trust me this really keeps you on track.
[Don't forget to weigh or measure yourself and put it in a safe place. You should weight yourself once or twice a week, mornings, same time though. This way you get a more accurate result. No need to share it, just keep it. You need to know what progress you've made, so it important to record it.]
SooooOOOoooOOO how r we doing?

Planet Fitness either Melville or Bayshore depending on whether I'm coming from home or work. 3x a week and mostly just cardio for 35-45 mins and then abs with the weight machine.
I'm also a flighty WW member, LSorrent, I actually joined at the one in Massapequa, do you do Wednesday night meetings? Maybe I'll get back on the wagon.

My gym - Body 30 in Garden City My workout routine - I work out 5 days a week 2 of the days I work out with my trainer and the other 3 I take a straingth training class. If I know I can't go to the gym at night I am lucky enough to have a gym in my building at work and I come in early and do 40 mins of cardio on the elipitical. My goal - is to tone up and loose another 15 pounds (my trainer has it all planned out for me).
I totally agree with keeping a food diary it really helps!!! When I first started working out with my trainer that is what she made me do and I realized how bad and how much i was eating!!!

Soooo, its around this time of day that I become a starving lunatic. What do you snack on / should I snack on? I already had a yogurt today. It needs to be something I can go out and pick up right now . . . help.

The only positive is that I am too lazy to actually get up and get something, haha. I'm definitely not leaving my cube for an apple.

Instant oatmeal! It's easy to keep packets in your drawer and they come in so many flavors. Right now I'm diggin' the Quaker Weight Control ones - they have the same amount of calories as regular instant oatmeal packets but have a few more grams of fiber - 7g/packet! - which keeps you full longer. Has a good amount of fiber too, which also helps you stay full.

Re: ~~~~THE 2010 WORKOUT/TONE UP/GET TO OUR GOALS THREAD!!!~~~~
i go to planet fitness in hicksville. i TRY to get to the gym or run outside 3x a week, but with a nutty schedule and commute, its tough... i try to eat pretty good during the week but i slip a bit on the weekends... AND i just got braces on tuesday!!! (dont worry theyre behind the teeth so you cant see em & ill be pretty close to fixed up by the wedding! yippee!!!!) but heres the catch- my diet has been significantly restricted since i just got them! (of course they tell you AFTER they put them on.) i cant have ANY nuts, granola, hard fruit like apples, pears, etc, corn on the cob, any meat on the bone, pretzels, etc.. im curious to see how this is gonna mess me up eating wise! ive done half marathons for the past 3 years in may so i try to stay in shape for that as my motivation but i go up and down throughout the year. my goals are: to drink more water to really get to the gym/run 3x a week eat healthier on the weekends too tone up
good luck ladies!!!!

My gym is Plane Fitness in Centereach but me and Alyssa (iheartmoogle--I think thats how she spells it, sorry hun) have started trying to go to Planet Fitness in Bayshore 2xs a week. We did cardio (treadmill for about 40 minutes) when we went.
My goal is just to start working on my health.

Hey girls! This is an awesome thread, thanks Sandra for starting it!
I go to the gym at my job 4 days a week...usually a half hour run and then a half hour weights. I recently read though though that lifting will show more results than cardio which I wonder if it is true. That's my biggest problem...I get so annoyed that I am not as toned as I want to be. I think I am going to start hitting the weights a little more and see if that makes the difference!

Today I am finally getting back to working out. I've been on and off for the past year but haven't kept to a routine. I will go to the gym today and do an hour on the elliptical machine.

Re: Updated! 10/5~~~~THE 2010 WORKOUT/TONE UP/GET TO OUR GOALS THREAD!!!~~~~
I really love this idea. I havent gone to the gym in two weeks as I had the flu..but now I'm alot better.
I go to Bell Plaza Sports Club 5 days a week and on two days I do an hour class of yoga and on the other days I usually do cardio for 20-30 minutes, abs and then light weights. I love going to the gym as I find it releases stress from work and helps me sleep better at night.
I really want to tone up all around but especially my arms and abs.
My biggest problem is that I eat the worst foods possible. I'm going to start a food journal and substitute fruits, nuts and lean meats into my diet.

I think this post is a great idea. Just reading through it made me realize how bad I am. I used to go to the gym but now that I´m not working I don´t have the cash. I kept saying I will excercise at home and I´ve realized just now its been MONTHS since i´ve excercised!!
I will be doing workout videos for now. I have a pilates one and a belly dancing one. I have more variety in NY and will be bringing them down when I go.
I have been controling myself food wise (for the most part) and though I´ve fluctuated a bit I have maintained it within 5 lb difference. I did WW in NY which was great!! Here I started doing denise austin online which was also really good. Now I´m basically counting calories because I don´t have the cash for the other programs.
**** If anyone wants a free website to log what you eat/excercise/weight/inches etc you can try nutridiary.com. That´s what I´m using to keep track of everything.
I really want to tone up (hard without weight training but I will be doing some basics at home so at least that should help a bit. And I need to burn fat in tummy!!.

How long after eating do you have to wait before excercising. I´m motivated to excercise but I just ate about 20 - 30 min ago. I don´t want to lose my motivation but I also don´t want to throw up for excercising too soon!!

1 hours is how long i personally wait. I workout hard, and I hate throwing up. You can walk a little prior to your workout to help you digest though.
