great tips thanks!

i pulled a muscle during step class one night it was so sore i couldnt even hardly walk on that night.  I just alternated ice and heat and took ibuprofen and it was better in like 3 days.  I never saw a doctor.  do you stretch really good before you exercise?

I have PCOS and it sucks right now because i am unisurable due to this disease!!!  Well anyways since i have that rant out of the way, it really helps me if i eat a low carb high protein diet i lose alot of weight that way.  I am exercising 5 days a week at the YMCA too.  Exercise is important.  The endocrinologist i see has me on a new drug called Glumetza i take 2000 mg daily.  It has less side affects than metformin which gave me awful diarrhea!! Good luck!

So lala what actually do you do in yoga?

Awesome guys thanks! I think i may go with this then.  I went on their try the Y one day about a year ago and it is nice but i didnt ask them many questions we just wanted the free day!! LOL  But i like that you dont have a contract.  I joined Curves a couple years ago and i was stuck in a two year contract and HATED it! I lost maybe 7 pounds! So i think i would like the Y because the whole family can come! you all have made my decision so much easier thanks!

I have kicked my diet soda habit! Yeah! Since one of my new year resolutions was to quit it! I now drink more water, juice and unsweetened tea.  I feel better not drinking it.  Juice is much better for you but it does have alot of sugar in it maybe go for a light version?  I have heard some people add club soda to it to make it fizzy because some people miss the fizz from it.

They say if you eat dark chocolate it's better for you plus you dont want as much of it.  (like you do milk chocolate)  Or like the others say i dont think deprivation is the way if you must just remember portion control! If you deprive yourself of something you love you want it all the more.

i once ate an entire bag of oreos with a huge glass of skim milk.  It felt good when i did it but after i ate it oh regret!!
