I don't know mel sounds like she has good advice. I'm easing slowly into my program so I have room to kick it up a notch... but i'm sure i'll be asking for advice when that happens i have to start actually losing weight before I plateau right? I'm so scared for our weight in next week at work. After our thanksgiving long weekend. That should be ineteresing. I think the boys are doing well but us girls are struggling.

WW is really good because everytime you get into a new range of weight, you reduce the amount of calories you can have. It always keeps your system going for you will lose.
Hope this helps.

I think thats the hard part for me, knowing that i'll continually have to reduce what I eat lol. I love food entirely too much!

At least that is what my trainer told me..He recommends I alternate my activities so that my body doesn't plateau. So I am doing water aerobics 3x wk and running 2x week and riding a lot because it's my stress reliever and more for enjoyment. I am also doing weights 4x a week.

Hard for me to find variety, no pool here. I wish there was so I could add swiming to my rotation but no year round pool for us, too cold.

I use to walk 10 mins then run for about 2-5, then walk 10..until I was able to build up to straight running...Just start putting in 1-3 mins in the middle of your walking to build up your endurance..and don;t try to run fast just a slow easy pace...I promise you will be running the entire time within 2 months...

I'm going to try to go to the gym tonight. I haven't gone all week, so I'm feeling a bit sluggish. So far I've had a bajillion grapes, a pear, and lemon tea. I probably wont have time to eat anything else but we're having chicken "burritos" for dinner. I put it in quotes because it's never the same when I make em at home as when I get them at a taqueria. Ahh, well.. that should take up the rest of my calories anyway hahaha
I hope everyone has a great day!

Hope you have a good workout and a good rest of the day.
No activity yet, eating was okay, chopped up carrots and celery and pepers at lunch and took them along with chopped fruit. was suppose to be for a coworkers birthday but he wasn't there this afternoon. Good healthy snacks anyhow to keep me mostly out of trouble :-D
Supper I chopped up bock choy, the veggies fromt he office that were left over and boiled/stirfried them, w/ a little chicken. salty which is bad but otherwise healthful...
trying to drum up motivation to go to the gym... but I should also call my friends and feeling demotivated right now lol
