My main goal is losing these last 20 lbs. I've lost a little over 60lbs since last march and my main focus right now is toning my abs and trying to get any signs of jiggle gone. It's been the hardest part so far. Besides going to the gym 2-3 times a week, I'm trying to find new recipes that are healthy and not so boring as everything else i've been eating. I need to skim through everything you've all posted! Good to people are participating I need motivation!

Santa got me a cruise for Christmas, so that's my motivation to get back into my size 8 clothes. I have about 50;bs total I need to lose. I get a lot of good recipes, excercises and motivation at Sparkpeople.com. It's free to sign up. I'm doing their New Year New You Bootcamp workouts now and so far so good. I also get a lot of recipes from the Weight Watcher cookbooks. I don't actually count the points, but I have found some delicious dinners along the way. Good luck to all of us!!

I'm looking for something that targets the abs and will help me tone up and lose inches. Anyone have any suggestions that have worked really well for you?

On days I don't want to go to the gym, I pop one of those in and usually go through the whole thing. And I really like the Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred. That's an ass kicker!

Once I get a better feel for what works, I'll probably buy a few. I've got myself back on the 'eating right' track again for these last 20 lbs and I'm trying so hard not to go insane I blame Christmas and all of the yummy things that comes along with it!

It's going to be rough because the only meeting I can make it to is a 7:30am Saturday one. But this past Saturday I'd been out drinking Friday night and didnt get to bed till about 3:45 but I still got up at 6:55 and was there early. I was so proud of myself for actually getting up. My boyfriend was even impressed because he'd never even think about doing such a thing. I also have slowly started to restock my pantry and fridge. I bought low point yogurts, and a few boxes of Special K cereals and bars. I'm pretty damn happy today because I went on a job interview and before I went I told myself I was going to go to the gym right after. I packed my bag with my gym clothes and put new music on my ipod and went. I havent been to the gym in.....its been so long I dont recall the last time I went! I did 20 minutes of cardio (10 minutes on the treadmill, 10 on the bike) and then did weights on my legs (leg extension etc). I feel good. So here's to 2009 being better for all of us

Posts: 1136 (01/14/2009 4:32 PM) Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Friend Block Invite Ignore	Last week I started a plan to eat better so I have a piece of fruit in the morning around 9am, lunch at noon is a chicken breast or lean pork chop with some veggie sauteed in a little olive oil, a snack around 3pm(which I have to force myself to eat cuz I'm not hungry), and around 6pm a salad or something small if I'm tired of salad. I think I have the eating down to a pretty healthy eating plan but the gym has been a problem for me. I have been going for about a while and I started spending an hour on the treadmill a week before Christmas...walking 30 minutes, running 30 minutes. Since then I've been having a problem with the back of my left foot above my heel. I'm having some pain back there but when I lift up on my toes I definitely feel it. I have to work out but I don't know if ignoring it is a good idea. Anyone have any idea what I possibly could have done?

And as far as the pain when running, could it be a heel spur or some kind of blister? I'm not quite sure where your pain is. If it's in that kind of area, try wrapping it with an ace wrap before you go?

Posts: 1137 (01/14/2009 9:57 PM) Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Friend Block Invite Ignore	I actually think it might be my achilles tendon cuz it's right above my heel. It started when I increased my time on the treadmill to a full hour and ran for half of that time. It doesn't hurt when I'm on the treadmill, though. It starts after I'm finished with my workout. At first the pain would go away after a day off from the gym but it's been persisting for days now. I guess I'll have to lay off of so much running for a while. Does anyone else have any suggestions?

Posts: 13161 (01/15/2009 1:23 PM) Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Friend Block Invite Ignore	Hey guys, I'm starting my diet next week and want to document it here to keep my self motivated and responsible. Right now, I am at 135 but I want to get down to 125/120. I know ten pounds doesn't seem that hard to lose, but in all my attempts it is very hard for me to get get below 130. It's frustrating because I just feel stuck at my weight no matter what I do and I would really feel a lot more comfortable with myself if I were able to shed the extra couple of pounds. So, I am going to try to work out 5 times a week and write down what I eat starting Monday and weigh myself on Fridays. My ultimate goal is 122 by June, which seems reasonable but who knows because its really hard for me to lose a substantial amount of weight. Good Luck everyone!

Especially if you're going to be working out. You may lose pounds of fat, but you'll gain pounds in muscle and that weighs more. I refuse to get on a scale. I just go by how my clothes fit me.

I've lost a pound this week which isn't bad but I've had a hard time getting to the gym this week with the ridiculous weather we've been having. I need to step it up and get back into my strict habits. It's hard but I know I can do this!

Posts: 5355 (01/16/2009 5:47 PM) Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Friend Block Invite Ignore	This year I'm going to be in the best shape of my life. I really feel it. I'm taking a pilates class and a yoga class for credit with my other school classes, so that's four times a week (2 hours for each class, 8 hours total). I am going to start going to the gym, at least twice a week. Otherwise I need to cancel my membership and stop throwing money down the drain. My diet is pretty balanced, vegetarian. I really think if I could just exercise regularly it would make a huge difference. It is so going to kick my ass though.

There are times where I do really well and then I feel like I'm doing horrible, and today is one of them. I feel if I go over my portions, or feel really full that I've totally failed myself. I need to get back into the swing of things. This feeling sucks! Edited By: Jcschick307 01/16/2009 7:35 PM. Edited 1 times.

The thing I'm trying not to do is think, 'well this day is screwed' if I don't work out or eat some crap. I just try to turn it around for the rest of the day from that point on, otherwise I feel like I'm always beating myself up or just giving up for the day.
