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?

I am officially back on working out early in the am mode!
My workout consists of 20-25 mins of cardio and 30 mins of strength training....try to work out a diff area every day - 4 days a week
today - 25 mins on treadmill - 30 mins of arm workouts ...i'm not sure what each exercise is called i jsut follow a routine fh created for me.
as far as supplemetns..i totally agree that fat burners dont work...they only make your heart go crazy.... however, imo vitamins are essential to your routine.
Yes, heathly supplements (like vitamins, fish oil, CLA, etc) are EXCELLENT for you. I think everyone should be on a vitamin, even if its flintson kid one. GNC has the ones for women that are amazing!!! Check those out for sure!
I totally agree...on a sidenote..what do you take? do you combine both CLA and fish oil the same day? i take 2 hair & nails...(love them) fish oil and fh makes me take tonalin cla on lifting days and if i'm going in the am i drink protein shake on way to gym.
Well I take prenatals, so i stopped taking the fish oil b/c combined I think its too much of a good thing. CLA i take before the gym. Protien shakes are good too. Lean Muscle Milk is yummy and its good to take. So my supplements look like
Prenatal Pro biotics (for the stomach... another thing I highly recommend taking) CLA
If you go to GNC, they have the vitapaks that measure everything out for you.

I have tried a few different vitamins including Women's 1 a Day, and they have always made me nausea, even when I take them with food. Maybe the children's vitamins would be better for me.

Hi everyone...
my gym - Bally's (most of the time i go right after work so it will be the 6th ave/19th st location)
workout routine - 30-40 mins cardio 3-4 times a week. 20 mins strength training w/ free weights 2 times a week.
i try to eat healthy but FH always convinces me to be bad!!!! i have been good with the gym routine but when i go on vacation i feel like it completely messes up everything i worked hard for ...its sooo easy to gain weight but super hard to lose it!
Goal - i would love to lose more body fat and gain more muscle/ tone up...i dont care about sizes really....just dont want any rolls jiggling..lol
i take GNC womens Ultra Mega vitamins. Sometimes a Vit C supplement and i try to add a natural source of fiber to my diet.

Gym: Ballys in Elmhurst, Kew Gardens, Kings Highway.
I haven't been in a couple of weeks but reading all the posts above is giving me some motivation to get back to the gym and tone myself up. When I go after work I usually do 30 mins. of lower body and 30 of upper body and 15 mins of crunches. Saturdays and Sundays I usually take a cardio class, do my own strength training for an hour and yoga.

I go to Planet Fitness in Bay Shore 3-4X a week. I do 40 minutes of cardio on the elliptical and each day that I'm there I work out a different body part. One day legs, another day shoulders/arms, another day back, etc. I still have another 11 lbs. to lose so I'm trying to really get on my grind!!

hey mama's don't forget to weigh in this weekend!!! Monday starts a new week!
i also decided that i need to buy a scale. unfortunately, i am realizing that i am spending too much $$ for WW membership. i have the books at home for points so i think i should be able to keep track and make conscious choices on my own and do weigh-ins. if i feel i need to go to a class, i can just pay as i go.
so tonight i plan to go to WW for weigh-in and then sometime this week buy a scale. yikes
i have done nothing excerise wise in 2 weeks cause we have been so swamped and i have been working late and bring work home. But I have maintained my weight by eating smart! I try to cook fairly healthy, but i sitll enjoy yummy food. But I make sure to eat a healthy, light lunch (lean cuisine or something).
This week I am heading back to the gym after 3 months ( i walk 3/4 nights a week in the nice weather, but that is over). I am planning of doing 3/4 days to the gym a week 30-40 min of cario 20 min of weight training each time!

I go to Xsport Fitness in Garden City. Anyone go there?
I've been really bad about going, but since I ordered my gown on Friday I have to get my a** in gear!!
I'm aiming for 3 day at the gym and I go to an adult tap class once a week.
