Keep this motto in your head...like Nike 'JUST DO IT'.


great motto

i was upset about not being able to work out because i have stitches and the whole thing with my back - but now that its been almost 3 weeks of no working out - i kinda dont want to start up again but i can see that i lost muscle tone already - and i want that for the honeymoon! so you got to JUST DO IT

aww hang in there- I had to get a trainer in order to make myself go to the gym- Lucille roberts is having a special and it was $300 for 13 sessions, plus a free extra month of membership. so worth it- but definately try and add exercise.

i live in queens, but work in garden city- so if you wanted to walk after work, mondays

I am up for anyone who would want to go walking any day of the week! workout buddies def help!


I live in Williston Park, I'd definitely meet you ladies to walk. The only night that isn't good for me is usually Tues (we have our dance lessons every other)

DEFF CUT OUT ANY SODA!!! not only is the sugar bad for you but the carbonation in soda expands your stomach so if u drink it with your meal you tend to eat more to fill your expanded stomach. you can try chewing sugar free gum because the saliva it generates will break down foods in your stomach more easily and quickly...but the key is when you get hungry from chewing gum...have a fruit...or vegetables and water. season your vegetables so they aren't as bland.

Linda,

Come to WW with me, SparkyandAng, FutureMrsMultari and Teenigirl on saturdays in Carle Place.

I have a gym membership where I can bring guests with me everyday.

You can come work out with us on Saturday mornings (Andrea might be joining that gym too, so we can all go together!)

ORRR - we can all go to Eisenhower and go walking together after.

You can do this!!!! You're doubting yourself and that is the problem!!!

Yes, of course its ok. We're taking over the meeting Ha. This week I won't be there at 9, and then on the 26th I have pre-cana in the morning so will have to go to the early early meeting, but after that, no excuses. I'll be there every week

You can do it!

It's so hard to get going on it but you can do it! I understand how hard it is to motivate but once you do that's it you get into the groove.

I recently decided to get going..not just for the wedding but because I'm long overdue on taking care of myself.

I started low-carb (Atkins), but I break on the weekends...so I'm super strict during the week and on the weekends I give myself more leeway. I also started working out. When I'm in LI I have to catch the 6:39am train ,so I'm up at 4:30am and I work out to Zumba (latin dance workout DVD), their 20 min DVD. When I'm at my place in Queens I go to the gym after work and get on the elliptical 30 min. and then do stregnth training. Sometimes I also try to workout to Shimmy (a bellydancing workout) on Fit TV. I notice that I LOVE the dance and belly dancing workouts more than the elliptical, so I'm more inclined to do those...it just makes it fun...Zumba is exhausting but it's fun

Feel free to FM me if you ever need encouragement...I know sometimes I need it.

I understand exactly how you feel. I started off with 9 months to go and now I have 86 days....I did ok on ww the first few weeks but gave up and instead of walking or working out I sit around - it is no ones fault but my own. I have a goal to lose 20 lbs before the big day and it is completely doable !! You can do it too !!! Don't give up.

I FEEL THE SAME WAY!!!

You will be beautiful even if you don't lose any weight - remember that. I'm still working on it.

If anyone's ever near Valley Stream, Glen Cove (or someplace near a train station) I'm down to walk or something. FH and I go to the boardwalk on Long Beach at night sometimes too.

You girls are so supportive. I heart LIW!

You are NOT out of time. You can do a lot in 2 months!! I'm getting married almost a month after you and am on the same quest!

You can do it !
I lost 20 pounds , and not by going on a' diet ' . we all know what foods are good for you and what food aren't . I just cut my portions in half, stayed away from fried foods, chinese, breads, ice cream , pizza and eat mainly protien and veggies . I do splurge once and awhile , but smaller portions.

I also go to the gym a few times a week , depending on how busy I get , and when i don't go to the gym I eat less since i am not burning as many calories sitting on my a**. once you loose a little bit, you will feel so good, and want to continue

drink lots of water , and don't give up. it isn't easy , but if I can do it, you can do it
