get rid of those extra pounds. I am struggling and can't stay motivated, just curious as to what is or isn't working for everyone.

Re: What is everyone doing to...
I'm taking boxing lessons on Saturdays. This class is so intense that I feel that I need to get in better shape just to make it through the whole class. Right now my shoulders are killing me!!! Also, I paid money to take this class, so I want to get my money's worth. I'm also running another 5K race at the end of the month.
I understand the lack of motivation. It seems that if I work out every day (or almost every day) I feel pretty motivated. Once I stop for more than 2 days, I stop working out altogether. There is a Woody Allen quote that says '80% of working out is getting to the gym.' Good luck!

My dress is my motivation. I went on Friday to try it on. That was a huge motivation. They ordered me the sample size because it fit me perfectally. The only thing is I lost weight where I did not want to.... My chest. I am going to need major cups in that thing.

Re: What is everyone doing to...
I've been trying to eat right. I go to the gym 5 times per week and take spinning and boxing classes. This might sound mean but my BF emails me pics of heavy brides all the time to motivate me. It seems to be working because I lost 20 pounds so far. Only 30 to go!

November- how are these workouts? Hard, or something you think you could stick with (I am trying to add things to my workout regimen so I am not bored)

Re: What is everyone doing to...
I have been watching what I eat/portion sizes, drinking lots of water, and exercising every day. I have been doing both cardio and weights. My main areas of concern are my butt and thighs!

Re: What is everyone doing to...
i'm doing WW and I do workout tapes 5 times a week. I mix it up with Gilad and The Firm. Also I try to squeeze in 1/2 hour walks during lunch if I'm not too busy. My motivation is losing 5 lbs already and seeing my tummy get flatter!

Re: What is everyone doing to...
I run 40-50 miles per week (I'm a marathoner) and I workout with weights 5 days a week. I also watch what I eat very carefully. I eat probably 5 meals a day, but smaller meals. No desserts. Lots of veggies: carrots, broccoli, celery. No meat, but that's not to lose weight, that's an ethical decision. Been a vegetarian for 14 years now. WOW. That sounds soooo long!
Edited to say: Also drink *a lot* of water!!

Re: What is everyone doing to...
I was on WW and lost 20 pounds. I've maintained it 6 mos. Now I joined Bally's to drop another 10 pounds and get ripped for bathing suit season.
