| I would feel the same way you do. I would talk to your boss. And I would NEVER go into somebodys home.
I agree with the other posters and would take self defense. I would look into to Pepper spray and or a Taser as long as they are legal. Please make sure if you decide to carry a taser you get proper training. If you are still really uncomfortable and cannot switch to a safer position I would consider employement elsewhere. |

| I have heard that before - trampoline/Rebounding was good for cellulite. I love trampolines :O) I wonder if you do the jumpboard/trampoline on a pilates reformer if it has the same effect? I do this once a week in my pilates class and it is so fun. |

| I have been to 2 of the places you mentioned Mazatlan and Puerto Vallarta.. THe land and area around Mazatlan was more dry and less trees ect.. Puerto Vallarta Seemed to have more jungle type area. One time when i went I stayed in a placed called Yalapa(sp) You take a short boat trip from Pueto Vallarta and it is a village/town in the moutains and rocks with trees ect.. there were no cars. The people were very freindly. There was one Bed and Breakfast hotel and I stayed there once. the room were open air with beds that hung on ropes it was very rustic but it was very cool and lots of fun! | |||
| Weight Loss | Weight Loss Without Flabby Skin | Jan 08 2008 18:30 (UTC) |

| I am down 84 lbs.. I have been at it for almost exactly 2 years now. This month is my 2 year aniversary at C-C.
Honestly I lost a good chunk of my weight in the first year... about 60 lbs. I did not do too much in the way of exercise in the first year either. I have done pretty well skin wise not much in the way of loose skin. I suppose everybody is different thou. I have really stepped up the exercise and the little bit of flabbyniess in my arms I had seems to have gone away.. I do reformer Pilates, eliptical and the treadmill now. |

| Weight Loss | Has anyone lost a significant amount of weight? 60+? i have a question for you | Jan 04 2008 19:35 (UTC) |
|
| I think it depends on the person and where they carry thier weight and how fast they lose it. I have lost 84 lbs and I dont have the loose hanging skin .. I have lost slowly over the last 2 years. I guess I consider myself lucky that I dont have it.
My sister has lost quite a bit of weight rather rapidly and she has hanging skin on her legs and it seems to show in her face too. My husbands aunt has had Gastric Bypass and she has hanging skin and has considered an operation. |

| Weight Loss | I have only lost..... UPDATE!!!! | Dec 21 2007 20:54 (UTC) |
10 |
| I would say keep with what you are doing... I would gradually work up to 30 minute work outs. I think gradually adding in changes in diet and workouts has helped to keep it up. (at least for me anyway)
When I first started 2 years ago (254 lbs) I only lost 5lbs in the first 3 weeks. then they weight started coming off at a 2 lbs a week for quite a while.. of course now that I am closer to goal it seems to be slow coming off again. |

| Weight Loss | People who give bad diet advice "Eat more to lose" *rant* | Nov 28 2007 00:01 (UTC) |

| I think it depends on the person... but the advice to eat more helped me break a Plateau. I was exercising and consumming about 1200-1300 calories max a day and I could not lose.
Once I added a few more calories I started losing again. |

| Motivation | After almost 2 Years with C-C: Weight Plateau Frustration | Nov 01 2007 04:42 (UTC) |

| Nymo... I think you are right about the stress and Life itself slowing me down. It has been quite a year so far. I admit I tend not have much patience with myself. I tend to like healther food whole grains, proteins (lean Meats, nuts, lowfat cheeses) and I eat alot of veggies.. but you are right I think I need to balance them better.. and I eat breakfast but... I dont think it is big enough and sometimes a bit too late. Its time for a re-balancing act with the foods.
I have a feeling that I am on the right track with pilates.. I am feeling it as I do it and after I do it.. in my core, glutes and hamstrings. When I get more time in my schedule maybe I can work in the weight training. I appreciate everyone's support and the fact that you have listened to me rant :O) |

| Thanks HK, My goal weight is 150-154. 154 puts me in the healthy BMI range. About the progression: I guess I thought I had done that 6 weeks ago when I added the eliptical and pilates to my routines. I would be happy losing even 1 lbs a week or even a few lbs every couple of weeks. I know it is important to switch things up.
Nekomimi, I actually do resistance training with the reformer pilates. It is nice to know I am not alone. :O) I hope that losing weight like nuts thing comes along soon. So I guess what people may be telling me is the resistance training I get with pilates may not be enough? Just to clarify: regarding Pilates, In my mind Pilates is not a weightloss solution, I want to be more flexible and feel good. I have issues with my back and I can already feel the benefits from it. |

| It is definitely not too late. My own mother has proven that to me. At 69 years old, After a Major heart attack (she now has a pace maker), and also after a bout with bladder cancer (she now has an ostomy), She has managed to lose about 45 lbs and she feels great. Her Dr's are amazed by her :O) | |||

| What I admit that I watch: Desperate Housewives and Hero's What I am ashamed to admit: It's over now but Rock of Love with Bret Michaels and The Pick up Artist.. The pick up artist was so pathetic (but I could not stop watching..like a train wreck) I was laughing so hard I cried.. That Mystery character is very creepy.. I can't believe he was the master teacher or whatever they call it..... |

| Fitness | Wanted: Advice on Pilates | Oct 18 2007 18:44 (UTC) |

| I have recently started Private and group sessions in reformer Pilates so I have been researching quite a bit. I have a home machine and I wanted to ensure I was doing exercises correctly. The Classical Pilates series has come highly recommend by Pilates Teachers I have been communicating with. There are a few DVD's for MAT and the Magic circle as well as the reformer. I believe Amazon has these DVD's with reviews and they may be a little less as well. Here is the classical pilates link: http://www.classicalpilates.net/products.php |
