Jsmom5, good for you!! Congrats on an awesome workout!

Tonight I did 3 classes at the gym. Body Combat (kickboxing), CXWORX (core workout) then Zumba. I feel tired but in a good way!

Yay Leikela, woot woot!!

I'm going to try this new routine for a week or two and see if I notice any changes, I know I probably won't lose weight but im hoping for inches. Either way would be great since I'm stuck in a rut. Also, since its winter I don't think I'm getting enough water in and one day i counted my calories (which I stopped doing in Sept) and i dont think I'm eating enough. This whole losing weigh this is complicated!!

keep us posted on the inch loss. When i was training for triathlon i dropped 4 dress sizes in 3 months and only 20lbs!! calorie counting tends to be very hit and miss. I'm going to still weigh but focus on inch loss so i have a back up for when the scales won't say what i want them too! You go girl x

Exactly Tigerlilly, either way, we lose weight or inches and we win! Wow, 4 dress sizes, that's amazing! It seems like it would be more than 20 lbs, but I totally understand it. And I will def keep ya posted! I have a new spurt of energy and I want to keep it up! Lol.

Feel a little better today. I think it's just the tail end of this virus!

Sounds like everyone is doing really good. Just reading everything you all are doing gives me energy. I haven't ridden my exercise bike in a few days. I worked the last couple of days. I am a nurse and work 12 hour shifts on my feet most of the day. The last couple of days though I had to work late so it was more like 14 hour days and I was exhausted when I got home. Now I have a nasty stomach virus. On the bright side though this stomach virus may make me lose a couple of pounds Hope to get back to it as soon as I feel better.

As i'm not a lover of scales! i'm gonna get Dh to take some photos of me front, side, back so i have a visual record on how my body is changing. You know what it's like when u look in the mirror and just don't seem to be able to see any changes and i felt i needed a more detailed plan!

'My Goal is to make long term changes to my lifestyle to lose the excess weight for good. Become strong, fit, healthy and in great condition for pregnancy and remain healthy and really enjoy my babies.

so heres my body transformation tools:

1. Follow an unprocessed veggie based diet ( i'm using the word diet as what i'll be eating rather then the traditional slimming diet)

2. eating when hungry and stopping when full, not stuffed to bursting!

3. Reducing wheat and potatos (these disagree with me and are my biggest addiction)

4. Work on my core (a situp or crunch will not be performed in the process as these will not give you a flat stomach!!) and increase my muscle and strength.

5. Make exercise a part of my life again and maybe even return to Triathlon (when i first started training for tri i dropped 4 dress sizes in 3 months yet only lost 21lb! but the training was really tough from couch potato to triathlete in 4 months)

6. Record changes by body measurments, photos, BMI, scales (boo to this one, lol) and perhaps a journal.

Whats your plan ladies?

 

[tigerlilly]

I change the title a little so it gives a better idea of what were up to!

 

[tigerlilly]

Hi ladies dh and i are hoping for a referal to a fertility specialist (hoping we get a Bfp on our own) but i need to get my BMI down to 30 at the moment it's 38.43. So i'm looking at 3.5 to 4 stones. I'm not a lover of diets! so my plan is to exercise and follow a veggie based diet and i'm looking for support? anyone else trying to lose weight? Whats your goal? and how you doing it?

Oh im soo with you! as you can see by my ticker i have sooo much weight to lose. Wouldnt think its that much to look at me though (no stretch of the imagination i am thin but i dont look as heavy as i am ive always carried it well thank god) I think im going to do slimming world again and do gym that i havent commted to properly before. Ive been on slimming world twcie and lost 1/2 stone in 2 weeks each time but then i get bored and stop. gotta keep going. Ive quit smoking so dieting should be easier shouldnt it . Wish you all the best. Are you thinking about maybe following a set diet / club or just do your own thing?

Hi hun. I'm doing my own thing! Slimming clubs never worked for me : (. I'm I want the weight to comeoff and stay off so i'm making perminant lifestyle changes. I'm following a veggie based diet with limiting processed foods so no bread, sweets choc etc or takeouts. I do yoga and will return to the gym for strenght and core work, swimming and running once this virus has cleared. I used to be a personal trainer i know all the tricks but don't have the motivation and full of injuries as well. As a trainer I was tough and mean but not with myself! I used to do triathlon as well so might go back! I need to loose 6 tones in total or get down to 12st for fs refferal.

Please be my trainer!! lol. Im just fed up with dieting and putting it all back on and then some thinmk i really need a lifestyle change too. I eat too much and don do enough. I dont even know the portions i should be eqating and excerise to do and how long for Im so useless at this. This is wy i have weight issues!! lol. Any ideas for a plan for me or what i need to do? ANY suggestions appreciated!

LOl i'll answer any questions you have x

 

[Leikela]

I agree with you Tigerlilly on the scale! I exercise 5 times a week which includes cardio and weight training. Muscle does weigh more than fat so the scale really won't show much improvement. It will be seen more so I am only weighing myself every 2 weeks. My plan is simply continue exercising the way I have and trying to consume about 2000 calories per day. With the amount of exercise I do (sometimes 3 hours at a time) I need to eat such a high number. I have my good days and my bad days with my food though. That is what I need to improve on.

Omg girls! I might have an iron deficiency! (Always borderline low) We are getting a blood test done to check my levels. I have so many symptoms and this whole time we thought it was my thyroid acting up again! My doc said that could be the reason for not being able to get pregnant??? I see my gyn doc on Feb 7 for my annual. I would love to not be freezing cold, weak and tired all the time!
