Re: what is your shape-up/ weightloss plan ??
Definitely drink 8 glasses of water evryday (speeds up your metabolism) You can eat what you want to but definitely smaller amounts. Instead of a whole banana , eat half. Instead of a whole slice of cake, eat half etc. If you definiotely want to see the difference in your waistline, its salads and more salads though. I lost over 30 lbs in less than 3 months and kept it off, even after a baby. Good Luck

I meet with the trainer twice a week and i'm trying to do cardio 3x a week for 45 minutes each time. I'm really committed to getting into the shape I need to be in by the time our wedding comes!!!!

This sounds like a great plan I think I'll try it.

Do you find that having a personal trainer is helping you meet your goals? I had a free session with a trainer this past weekend and I thought it was great, but I'm not sure it's worth the $$. Feel free to FM me with a response if you don't want to share it here!! Thanks!! ----
So far I've been drinking more water, cutting down on snacks, and eating more fruits and veggies. It sounds so easy but it's sooo hard to do! I also just joined a gym so I've been pushing myself to go 4x a week. Good luck!!

I've only met with him like 5 times but I feel great. I feel like he pushes me to want to reach that goal. If you're in NYC, let me know. He's a great trainer.
It sounds like you're on the right track and that you're going to do great!!!!!

I've been drinking lots of water (but I always do), drinking less juice and alcohol (I found a great 15 cal lemonade), and eating veggies as snacks (I love canned green beans and raw mushrooms as snacks.. yes I know that's weird, but I never ate enough veggies and they are very filling and low-cal) instead of chips, etc. I've lost about 4 lbs so far (I'd like to lose another 5-8 and tone up).
I try to do 30-40 min on the elliptical too, but I'm lazy and havent been as successful with that. :(

I agree with weight watchers! I lost 25lbs in 3 months and have kept it off for over 8 months now! I was not that heavy to begin with so I was embarrassed to go to the meetings, so I did it online.. It worked out great! FM me if you have any questions!~

Weight watchers and 45 minutes of cardio for a minimum of 4 days a week with weight training and kickboxing. I will get there!!!

Drinking lots of tea has helped me. I don't know why, maybe cuz it makes me feel fuller?

Re: what is your shape-up/ weightloss plan ??
I also try to bring my own lunch and eat something healthy but filling. My 2 favorites are progresso soup (I love the lentil the best) or Trader Joes rice bowls. The chicken teriaki one is 2g fat, 350 calories, VERY FILLING and has veggies like carrots, green beans, broccoli in it. No corn! (I cant eat corn because of Crohns, so I don't have to sift through trying to pick it out)
Ive also been trying not to eat out as much which helps save $$ and you don't realize how unhealthy everything is! I read somewhere that only 2 dishes at Macaroni Grill are under 1000 calories
FH and I went to applebees for dinner on Sat night and I got the steak/portabello meal from the WW menu. I'm not on WW but it looked good and actually listed the nutrition info (something like 330 calories and 7g of fat?) -- it was a [pretty small] piece of steak with portabello mushroom slices on top, red new potatoes and mixed veggies. It was actually really good! I got a HUGE $2 ceasar side salad (dressing on the side) with it and I was so full when I left! Aaand I didnt feel guilty, even though I had one bite of FH's wrap and 2 french fries.
Baby steps, but for some reason i'm finding it easier to control what I eat than to make myself work out

Re: what is your shape-up/ weightloss plan ??
I actually started working out with a trainer a few weeks ago. I see her once a week and lift 3 other times during the week along with 3 half hour cardio workouts.
I eat 5 (or six on workout days) meals a day that are high in protein, have a vegetable and a good fat. I have oatmeal as part of my first meal and then have a piece of fruit with lunch. So far I feel great and have noticed a nice difference in my shape. I havent weighed myself so im not sure about numbers but my clothes fit nicely and i feel better! It is definitely a slow process butI have until 2009!

Going to Curves 3 times a week has been working out for me! I feel so much better plus I cut out white sugar and soda. I am really seeing good results!

I joined Jenny Craig in may, and I am down 40 lbs. I do cardio 4-5 times a week (jogging, spin, kickboxing...). I plan on losing another 30 (hopefully). I plan on continuing what I am doing.

Re: what is your shape-up/ weightloss plan ??
I don't know about anyone else.. but I have serious issues with STEPPING ON THE SCALE... I mean I know I've gained some weight int he last year.. can tell in my clothes... and pictures.... but being someone who struggled with an eating disorder, I get complete anxiety over 'SCALE NUMBERS'
Weight watchers really works.. but I was having panic attacks over stepping on the scale.. ridiculous I know---but it's just me
So I have all the W.W. materials and I am following from home and doing 30 minutes of cardio 3-4 times a week.. along with some resistance training and situps... instead of weight myself.. I have decided to pick a few piecs of clothing that are right that I want to get loose on me.. SOONER THAN LATER lol lol..... so that is how I am monitoring my progress... might sound a little odd....
