Re: Well, I've lost........

What's the secret? I want to lose 7 pounds of my butt and hips. Edited to add and some off my thighs.

Re: Well, I've lost........

(now keep in mind I get some exercise 4 days per week, by teaching classes/aerobic and strength)

But for me, that is not enough (I love to eat)

So I added running 2-3 times per week. I also cut out the in between snacking, picking, and ater dinner, and boredom eatting.

IT'S WORKING!!!!

Re: Well, I've lost........

I can't take up running. If you ever saw the way I run,you would know why.I just look funny.
I will just try to get my workouts in several days a week and try to limit my snacking.

Re: Well, I've lost........

If you told me a few months ago I would try runing......I laugh in your face. I was always a sprinter, NEVER long distance,,,but I am slowly trying it. I am keeping it fun, neer pushing myself more than I can do for the day,,so i continue to enjoy it. So are I can do an easy 1 1/2 miles, to 3 miles,,,,depending on my energy level. (this morning was only 1 3/4 miles,,,,,but was better than nothing

Congratulations Jenny. I just started back running about a month ago as well.

I used to run very regularly. Boy the first 2-3 weeks back were h*ll , but now it is starting to feel really good again!
