I tried to get myself to like diet coke but oh my god i HATED it, i don't think i'll ever stop drinking coke maybe have it twice a week other than 2-3 cans a day! I just need to tone my body first.

Anyone here heard about CLA softgels? They sell them at the gym that i go to. The trainer told me to have one after my meals because it is meant to dissolve the fat in the stomach but i'm not to sure about it

I was hoping you would know! I thought it was scary as well so i just told her umm thanks but i will think about it LOL.

 

[nunu]

Oh yeah, i wrote down what it stands for so that i can redearch it lol.
It stans for Conjugated Linoleic Acid.

 

[Shimmer]

Well, I mean, one of my coworkers asked me about Alli (just made me think of this) and..yeah. Ick. No way. Anything that prevents your body from absorbing fats means they're coming out one way or the other and there's just no unpleasant way to...remove...them.

Wearing a good supportive sports bra will help with working out to help reduce further sagging...But normally when you loose weight it will affect your girls...

I don't mind if they stay the same, I just cannot handle them getting any worse. I mean, I know they will with time, but I don't want all substance to disappear from them and just be left with two flappy bits of skin on my chest!

Bah, so there's no way I can stop them from going really saggy through weight loss?

Hey all... i have done really good today and kept my motivation going. I got my 10% keyring from my Weight Watchers group today. I was so excited to get it and actually walked 15 min in the rain to go today. It has been pissing down with rain for 3 days now... sometimes i hate london.

Goals for today...

1. Stick to my points - actually saved 2.5pts for later in the week
2. Do my exercise video - will def do tomorrow
3. Get in 10000 steps or more from walking - 13878 points (very pleased with that)
4. Cook dinner tonite - DH cooked but at least it wasn't a takeaway.

Have a good evening ladies... i am off to bed now.

LOL, my aim was to walk for 40 minutes because it burns up to 300 calories, then i thought no you did bad today you had coke and a burger so i carried on till i got to an hour. I wouldn't have done it if i didn't put my sex and the city dvd in and watched a few episodes.

Hi everyone, I'm new to this thread and wanted to stop in and say hello. I keep my updates at Blossom's Action Plan but I don't mind sharing here too.

Today, I headed out to my 5:45 am spin class and worked out pretty hard. I think I overdid it bc my left calf has been kind of cramping. I'm hoping that it'll get better soon.

How is everyone doing now that the holidays are here? I'm motivated to work harder bc you know those coworkers are going to start bringing in those holiday treats especially with Thanksgiving just around the corner.

I guess I need to join this place too-_-. Ive been trying to lose wait for a while now. I was doing ok. When winter hits it always goes down hill. This time, I signed up for a gym membership and I try to watch what I eat. But I am always hungry. One thing Im happy about is that I dont drink soda. One less thing to worry about. I just wanna let people know that diet soda is probably worse than regular soda, so it should be avoided. Diet soda is NOT a diet product! It is chemically altered and makes you crave carbs

If anything, it will make you gain weight.

I hear this thing that diet soda makes it harder for your body to decompose(not the right word) fat. TOTALLY UNSURE ABOUT THAT. Im doing some research on that but nada. Might be bull. Anyways it tastes funky.

I need to stop eating so much and at odd hours. Today I had pasta at my boyfriends house and then some potatoes as a snack. Wtf. LOL Fried potatoes

 

[TISH1124]

^^ I'm sure that is probably right because my trainer has always said it slows your metabolism down....But I have a hard time giving up reg soda it's like giving up cigs I would think...It's truly an addiction...
My day was horrid...The eating was fine...But I had 5 cans of soda...yep 5!!!!

 

[Shimmer]

Ouch.

Good morning ladies and welcome to the new members.

I think i am going to post my goals everyday so i can try and keep on track. I have 4 weeks and 5 days until my holiday and i want to lose another 5 lbs before i go and hopefully i will only gain back that 5lbs while i am away.

2. Do exercise video
3. Stick to my points and use them wisely
4. Don't drink anymore diet drinks today (already had one this morning... needed some caf)
5. Eat 5 portions of fruit and veg
6. Don't waste any time at work because i have alot to get done to stay ahead before i go on holiday

I stuck to my points yesterday and ate very healthy... hopefully i can continue it today.

B... Bran Flakes, small box of raisins, and 1/2 pint of skimmed milk
L... WW Potato Crush, 2 clementines, and peach yogurt
D... 3-4 pork chipolatas w/ green peppers and onions, crusty roll, potatoes, mixed veg

Bienvenue Jello

As for today, I'm having pastas leftovers from last night.
Ladies : go get a lotery, I ate AN APPLE this morning...

 

[Shimmer]

One of my fellow climbers was in the gym last night...he and his friend brought pizza for us saturday...this guy is I guess from...not Texas...and he owns a pizza place and it was nom nom nom goooodddd.
I digress.
Anyway, he asks me, "So you like pizza then? How about pasta?"
Two things on me answering these questions:
a - he's so ridiculously hot *I* actually get momentarily tongue tied when he looks at me
and
b - Jamie likes food. As long as it's not seafood or fungus. And so that was my answer...

"Uh...Yes? I mean...uh...I don't like..y'know...um...mushrooms or like...anchovies or...weird stuff but...ummmmm...yeah...if you wanna...y'know...bring anything...uh. If I don't care for it, um...no offense is like...intended or anything...and um. John'll totally eat...y'know...anything I don't."

The whole time I'm stuttering this out I'm thinking "dear God he must think I'm a blithering idiot and if I DO eat this food how much more am I goingto have to add to my workout that day?!"
