| haha, well, i'll be honest... i'm lazy and anti-social, so something i can do in front of the tv in my own home is very appealing to me :) i'm hoping that once i get started and used to getting my heart rate up on a regular occasion, i'll be much more likely to exercise outside or in the gym. | |||

| obviously if i spend more money i will probably get better quality, but i am asking what the best ones in my price range are :) also, the pricier machines are usually bigger, and i don't have much room as it is. and i really just want it to kick start my workouts. i don't exercise at all right now and i really don't want to be in public, so i want something cheap and temporary in my home, then i will go to the gym once i get in gear. | |||

| OMG I am SO excited!! I started out 3 weeks ago at 200 lbs. After a week, I was only down to 199 lbs. Then, the next week it was that time of the month and I went up to 202 lbs. I was SO depressed bc I had been doing so well, so I just hoped it was water weight. Well, I weighed myself this morning and I am down to 193 lbs!!! AHHHH!! SO happy :) Have a good weekend everyone! Try not to cheat too much! ;) | |||

Kernal - I totally understand! I never log my food on the weekends either, PLUS it's TTOM for me too!! I am not going to weigh myself for this week either bc I know it's going to make me crazy if I do. Here's a question for everyone, though... I am eating the amount of calories a day that caloriecount recommended for my height and weight (1250), but I am NOT losing weight. I read an article saying that if you don't eat your body weight times 11 in calories a day (so, I would have to eat 2200 calories, which is insane) then your metabolism can slow down by up to 45%!!! Is it possible I am eating too FEW calories a day, and that is impeding my weight loss?? I'm so confused. |

Bethystan, wow CONGRATS!! That is so awesome :) Cupid, I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND!! I always waaay overindulge in alcohol on the weekends, thus overindulging in bad foods too. I've got to get it under control! I have to post my weigh-in later, when I can get to a scale at my mom's (I don't keep one in my apartment) but I know it will be bad. I drank too much this weekend, not to mention it's that time of the month and I'm sure I'm retaining a TON of water. Blah. |

Yeah, everyone have a great weekend! I am going to have to be careful and not drink so much! It's hard on the weekend bc I always have social events. I understand how y'all feel about weekends, for sure. I'm also going hiking in a gorgeous area with my boyfriend tomorrow. I hope I don't die from the heat and being so out of shape! I am going to bring some spirulina/nut/carob energy squares though (from whole foods) and lots of water. That should help! And it will be nice to get some exercise that is also fun :p |

cupid: awww!! congrats on the wedding! that is so awesome. bridgie: 3lbs in a week? CONGRATS! :) Okay so my stats this week are pretty sad, but I did cheat this weekend. Mainly with alcohol. Blah. I find it SO hard to stick to my diet on the weekends, but it's easy during the week. Starting: 200 lbs Today: 199 lbs Goal: 145 lbs Well, at least I lost a pound, right? I really need to do better on the weekends and also start a good workout plan. |

| Thanks bethystan! Motivation is one of my biggest problems and having people being supportive and helping me stay accountable is awesome! Anyway, like I said, I am 26 and I live in Baton Rouge, LA. I graduated from LSU in Theatre in 2004, but now I am monitoring interstate traffic cameras, lol! I live with my wonderful boyfriend and 2 cats. He thinks I am beautiful no matter what, which can be both good and bad. The bad is because it makes me lazier, knowing my weight isn't important to him. But now I am ready to do this for MYSELF. I'm so mad at myself for gaining all this weight back, when I had worked so hard to lose 65 lbs a few years ago. But I just need to start from scratch, I guess! My biggest problems are portion control and emotional eating. | |||

Are y'all still accepting members into the motivation club? I have a horrible problem with motivating myself and I thought this might help. I'm 26 and I was always heavy up until about 4 years ago when I lost a ton of weight and got down to my lowest adult weight, 130. Now, I am back up to 200. When I went to the doctor a few days ago and she said my weight was 200, I couldn't believe it. I always swore I would never let myself get heavy again after I had lost all the weight last time, but here I am. Now, my goal weight is 145 and I'm 5'7". Today is the first day of my diet, so I hope this site helps!! |
