Do you have a Running Room store near you? or a store specifically for runners/marathoners?  I went there and got a REALLY good bra for working out (and running :))

Check out the guide from Women's Health Magazine:

Fitness How Do You Fit It Into Your Schedule? Jan 09 2009

I get up earlier. 

My alarm is set for 4:50, I am at the gym by 5:05, I work out til 5:55, I am home by 6, showered, changed and out the door to work by 7:20.

The upside is that I sleep better, and eat better when I work out in the morning... and I have more time for other fun stuff at night.

Weight Loss How do you do it Jan 09 2009
16:25 (UTC)

Get back into a sport you love, and use it as a workout.

I play Roller Derby and I LOVE it!!!  Plus it burns major calories (around 1100 in a single hour and a half practice) 

Since I started it has motivated me to eat healthier and train harder.  Since starting derby and all the positive changes I made, I have lost almost 30 pounds!

Fitness Gym memberships Jan 08 2009

It depends on the equipment and services available, but it sounds like a reasonable deal.

I have had a super crappy gym, that had ancient crappy equipment in a tiny cramped room and it was 25$ a month, which was okay cause I was a broke student at the time. 

Now I pay 62$ a month for a really nice gym with free training huge weight spaces and a TON of cardio machines.  I dont mine paying extra for the nicer digs.

so in conclusion (hahahaha) 120 for 3 months at a nice gym sounds good to me.

Weight Loss What kind of food scale do you use? Jan 08 2009

I use a little mechanical one (no batteries) that measures in oz and grams... I picked it up at Walmart for $5!!! it's sweet because it comes with a little weighing container that has a snap on lid, or you can weigh food in your own containers.

I am down a pound! Yay! I am 0.2 of a pound away from officially having lost 30 pounds! So pumped!

Also I know I will lose it in the tail end of this week... I have Roller Derby Practice tonight and Saturday night, and I burn, on average 1100 calories each practice!

Go team Orange!!!

Weight Loss higher deficit today to make up for inevitably low one tomorrow? Jan 05 2009
20:20 (UTC)

Actually I am pretty sure you can. 

The way it was explained to me is that 3500 calories of overall deficit = 1 pound lost... so if I average 3500 over the week, I will still lose wieght, it doesn't have to be an even 500 every day of the week.  I am sure you will be fine.

Hey all, I am KJ.

I am 26, 5'3, and wanting to be lighter!!!  I have already lost 28 pounds and I am hoping to lose another 50 or so. 

I work a really chaotic job, but have been making working out a priority. 

I play Roller Derby, so I know that losing weight and getting in shape will really help me be a better player.

I'm pumped for another Biggest Loser challenge as I really get motivated (especially when watching the show on TV, I cant wait for the new season to start next week!!!)

I work out with a trainer 2 times a week, I play Derby 3 times a week, and then I try to do cardio 5 times a week (in the mornings before work). My new Years resolutions were to workout at least 250 times, and for a total of 7500 minutes during the year.  I am so pumped!

If you guys need motivating, or want someone to "work out" with in the mornings, then let me know and we can. We will do this you guys, and we will have the most fun!!

Go Team Orange!!!!!

Original Post by censoredcolors:

my goal is to not east fast food the entire year! it is going to be so hard, haha. my other goal is to lose weight, tone up, and look good before senior breakfast day (where the girls wear little white dresses) and prom :l.

 You can do it!!!! I believe in you! It takes some planning (that was the resolution I KEPT in 2007 and 2008's was no pop, which I also kept).  Packing extra snacks for emergencies, like almonds, campbell's soup at hand, hot tea, etc, and finding places that serve good food quickly, like Tim Hortons (if you're in canada) which serves soups and sandwhiches fairly quickly, or try your grocery store's deli department for their salads (only use half the dressing)

1) to work out 250 times this year (this includes the gym and Roller Derby)

2) to work out for 7500 minutes this year

3) to lose an average of 5 pounds a month until my goal weight of 135lbs

4) to get out of debt by sticking to a budget and paying down debt

5) to stay out of debt by not buying anything I cant pay for right away

I had a great holidays! I worked out almost everyday, I loaded my plate with veggies and turkey and only had spoonfuls of mashed potatoes and gravy, and no dessert.

It was fun, and I felt great about being healthy.  My family was totally cool, and I ended up down a pound in that week.

Yay for me sticking to it!

There are a few, depending on which province you live in.  I know of one near Saskatoon (Saskatchewan), a ranch style one.

Weight Loss When to Exercise? Dec 30 2008
14:38 (UTC)

I am up at 5 every morning too and workout for 30-45 minutes (cardio).  Then later, after work around 5:30-ish, I work out for another 30-45 minutes (Cardio) and then twice a week I do strength training.

If you are up at 5 and you feel like moving, GO FO IT!!!

I find that working out in the morning gives me more energy at work, I feel less tired in the afternoons, and I sleep better at night when I workout right after work (which for me is about 4 hours before bedtime).
