Re: BRAND NEW ENCOURAGEMENT THREAD!
bananas are good though. they also help around that time of the month. mmmm, potassium :) good ol' vitamin K.
anyway, my diet stinks. but i need to turn that around ASAP. i think im going to quit NYSC. its too much $ and i dont go that much. im thinkin of either planet fitness or lucille roberts...but neither of them have good parking... gotta figure this out soon...
thanks for starting the thread again!!!!!!

Re: BRAND NEW ENCOURAGEMENT THREAD!
i've been very bad-well actually the whole month of Feb was bad for me, i didn't go to the gym at all and tried sticking to WW but didn't do that great (i'm on maintenance). But I was doing the whole moving and going between houses.
So March I will be better, back on the program and need to get my butt back to the gym

Lucille Roberts is great and so inexpensive. I have the gold card, pay like $20 a month and can go to any of the gyms!

Re: BRAND NEW ENCOURAGEMENT THREAD!
I just ordered the 30 day shred yesterday yaayyyy!!! My plan is to start it after our busy season at work and then it'll be right before summer yay!!!
So, I'm in a rut. I've lost pretty much all the weight I wanted except for a little bit. Now that I'm comfortable again, I'm treating myself to not so good things. I try to keep it under control daily but it's hard to resist the snacks. Especially because at work they give out 'busy season snacks' and its all junk. I wish they would give out carrots and celery etc. I'd so rather eat that but when it's not right there it's hard. Oh well I bet the 30 day shred will get me back in gear, I just hope I don't set myself back during this next month and a half. I've worked really hard over the last year and half and I still run in the mornings but as it gets busier here at work that will prob get harder to do, we'll see! Loving this thread tho yay!

Re: BRAND NEW ENCOURAGEMENT THREAD!
I've been bad with the gym lately - but, does anyone go to Twin Park Fitness in New Hyde Park? There are some amazing classes that really get me motivated and are EFFECTIVE!!
Also, there is a great work out plan in February's Fitness Magazine. It's a full plan, diet and exercise, and seems totally manageable. It says you can lose 10lbs in a month following it. I'm only on week 2 - but I don't think I'm losing 10 lbs. My diet isn't what it should be. But the workout is fun and easy.

My fiance lives right around the block from there!!! I have gone a couple of times before I joined NYSC, whenever I would stay over his house. I never did the classes but just wanted to share that I have been there haha. Also, the classes look good just from observing.

Re: BRAND NEW ENCOURAGEMENT THREAD!
I am officially back on plan counting my points with WW and writing things down. FH and I got Wii Fit over the weekend, so I've been doing that every night now too. Soon I will get my a$$ back to the gym. I used to go to Synergy in Franklin Square, but then we moved. I need to get my behind to the one in Farmingdale now.

I think its $20-$40 for the first appt- depends on the card you have- there after, I think its maybe around $300 or $350 for 12.... Its pretty good considering the cost of other gyms and their trainers. But the only thing is, you MUST tell them to train you hard! The one trainer that I have used in the past was amazing and she was all about training me HARD! I told her train me like you would an athlete or a model-> hard, grueling, sweaty, intense-> and she did.

Re: BRAND NEW ENCOURAGEMENT THREAD!
I've been pretty bad...last weekend kille me when we went skiing...all I ate was french onion dip and pretzels...oh and tons of beer!!
The last two nights I've done the Wii Fitness Coach...after doing that for a few more days I may incorporate the 30 day shred...it killed me the first time I tried it so I want to get somewhat of a baseline before I try it...
I have a membership to Curves for $25 a month, but just need to get there.....
And I'm getting back to WW online in the next few weeks...my job reimburses me so why not!!

Re: BRAND NEW ENCOURAGEMENT THREAD!
I did good for the first half of february and then fell off the wagon because i was so super restrictive and it backfired. i am just working on not making myself go crazy.! lol.
