Re: help w/ diet and exercise..... AHH

i splurged on personal training too. i love my trainer, but i still don't have enough time for cardio. i've still lost a good 10 lbs, but i feel like i'm STUCK! if only i had it in me to do an hour of cardio 5 days a week, like my trainer suggests. . . between working two jobs, planning a shower/bachelorette party, flying back and forth to ny to plan my OWN wedding and playing in two orchestras, who has time?! ok sorry, i needed a little vent.

but i totally feel your pain!!!!

Re: help w/ diet and exercise..... AHH

I've lost about 8lbs since November by just walking on the treadmill 3 times a week for half an hour. I haven't lost more because I started eating chips and snacks everyday. I don't know why I do it Sometimes I even skip a week but the weight hasn't come back. I did hit a wall about 2 weeks ago. I might start walking more often. My legs are thinner but for some reason my arms got fatter! My legs are my problem but I don't want sausage arms!

On the plus side, I did go to the gym today and worked my big butt off.

I totally came home and had some peanut butter cups -- but I did eat healthy for lunch. I hate feeling so much pressure to workout / eat healthy. Then I get all angry when I blow it, Its definitely difficult. Especially with all the craziness of work, and planning, etc. I hear ya!!

Re: help w/ diet and exercise..... AHH

I'm such a snacker so I surround myself with the 100 calorie packs of everything! If they make it I buy it!

Try the new hostess 100 calorie cupcakes! Very yummy! Those and a glass of milk and I'm all set.

I've recently joined a gym so I'm hoping it helps!

good luck!

Re: help w/ diet and exercise..... AHH

Exercise is not that big of a problem for me since i love to run (it keeps my mind sane However i love to eat candy. I started nutrisysytem on Jan 4th and i have lost a total of 18lbs (started at 151 now 133lbs (5'6' tall)). I am 3lbs from my goal. I must say it does really work becuase you basically learn to watch your portions. I am going to stop now because I think I have the concept down and can do it on my own. If anything I will go back to it 2months before the wedding.

Re: help w/ diet and exercise..... AHH

I don't have much discipline when it comes to what I eat, but I've tried to make my workouts more fun - once I starting working out with my ipod playing my favorite songs, it definitely got me more excited about exercise. And I also realized that when I add more resistance to whatever cardio machine I'm using, it doubles the calories it says I'm burning. (ie - I put the treadmill on setting that make it seem like I'm walking up a steep hill).

Re: help w/ diet and exercise..... AHH

hey date twin!

I too am pushing to lose weight - I've gained about 15lbs since I ordered my dress last year. I'm terrified that when it comes time for fittings, I won't even be able to zip it up!

I joined www.sparkpeople.com , and that's really been helping me stay focused and motivated. They chat boards are a great source of support, and I've really enjoyed my time there.

Also, I just keep focusing on my goals - not on what I'm NOT eating. Whenever I feel like splurging, I remind myself of how yucky I feel, and how fabulous and sexy I COULD be if I tried. you'd be amazed at how your appetite slips away when you focus on your pudge instead of a slice of cake! Just make sure it's a positive focus, like 'yucky, this is so gross, think how awesome it COULD be!' as opposed to 'I'm gross and ugly, now let me eat out of self pity.'

good luck. You can do this! WE can do this!
