JillyBeanz Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 Well, well, well! I did it - I plugged it in! Nah, only joking - I did go on it. I've stuck to my diet too - hoping I can keep it up! I've had that many carbs Penny I think I may need a laxative soon :laugh:
Luvparrots Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 Okay, I will give it a good try!!!! Honest!!!!
pearllyn Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 Oops - hands up! I missed mine today - we were at The Sound of Music! Poor excuse but I'll get back on it tomorrow!
pearllyn Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 Phew! That's todays session done! 13 minutes on the bike and 3 circuits of various crunches, steps etc.
JillyBeanz Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 Good lass! I've stuck to my lifestyle modification food lessening effort now for three whole days! I have not strayed! Haven't done any exercise today - other than walk a million miles round work (it's a big place!!). Do you think this counts? Keep up the good work - come on Janet - show us a picture in your lycra!

Luvparrots Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 Walking, dancing and biking best exercising in the world, in my opinion!!!
kittykittykitty Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 Jill, wear your pedometer and you'll see how much you actually do walk. This room was quiet for so long I thought everyone must have reached their goals.:lol:
Talon Posted January 21, 2010 Author Posted January 21, 2010 Yes, Kitty has a great idea! You would be shocked if you realy new how many steps you walk in a day. What a great way to exercise without even knowing it. Good work everyone, let' keep going!! Jill, I'm proud of you watching the food you eat. I decide in the am what I will eat for the day and then stick with it. Fill in those hungry bout with nuts as a snack. B)
Acappella Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 I know I haven't been checking in but I've been working on getting more healthy food into the house,and then actually eating it:ohmy: Exercise is tougher for me because of my fibromyalgia, but I've gone back to my stretching routine, which I totally wish I'd never stopped because I've lost lots of flexibility. Seeing everyone else here working on their health is helping me stay on track. I went out looking for a Nintendo Wii but everywhere except e-bay is sold out. Guess all the other resolutioners got out shopping before I did:(
Supernova Posted January 22, 2010 Posted January 22, 2010 I ride my bike to work every day (7 miles one way)and that keeps me fit, I don't ride if the weather is bad eg rain. Bike riding works out the bum bits and the lungs, as long as you drink water.
JillyBeanz Posted January 22, 2010 Posted January 22, 2010 Hey all! The pedometer is a good idea - I might just surprise myself!! Howardine - you have new lifestyle modification buddies - we'll try and keep each other on track! Marguerite - keep up with the stretches - they'll do you good - so through this club we're helping with other health problems too! Even Bernie's in on the routine - even if he hasn't ridden to work since September (bad weather :laugh: Well, tomorrow is looming, but I have saved enough "syns" for some wine - I'll just have to stay away from those crisps and nuts!!! Keep up the good work everyone - and thanks for the encouragement Penny
pearllyn Posted January 22, 2010 Posted January 22, 2010 Just did the bike tonight cos I was short on time - 6 miles in 20 mins (that's good for me), and a nice healthy tea - everything steamed!! Thanks for all the encouragement everyone!
Luvparrots Posted January 22, 2010 Posted January 22, 2010 Well I did it, weighed myself and started my quest to get into shape and my old jeans! Rode my stationary bike for 15 minutes, while watching my favorite game show. Slow but good start. My problem has always been being too gung ho and burning out too quickly. I'm hoping this awesome group of grey family members will help keep me on track. So here goes!!!
JillyBeanz Posted January 22, 2010 Posted January 22, 2010 Well done Janet! That's a great idea to stave off the boredom - I bet you the time flew! I've decided the longer I sit here on an evening, the less likely I am to make that trip to the kitchen!! Just by sheer attendance here at GF I am losing weight
kittykittykitty Posted January 22, 2010 Posted January 22, 2010 Everyone is off to a really good start. Hip, hip, hurray!!!:laugh:
Talon Posted January 22, 2010 Author Posted January 22, 2010 Great Job everyone!! I'm so proud of you!!!!! :woohoo: Keep up on the biking! It's great exercise and doing it in front of the tv is even better! You will find that in 2 weeks, you will start to feel more energy than you ever dreamed of. Don't give up......I'll be watching.......:cheer: :lol: :angry: :angry:
pearllyn Posted January 22, 2010 Posted January 22, 2010 Well done Janet!! {Feel-good-000200BB} That's always been my biggest problem with excersise - most of it's BORING!!! Starting slow's the way to go though! Keep up the good work! JillyBeanz wrote I've decided the longer I sit here on an evening, the less likely I am to make that trip to the kitchen!! Just by sheer attendance here at GF I am losing weight :laugh: I never thought about that Jill! Three cheers for the Forum!! Hip hip !!
Supernova Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 Keep at it babes, my wife thinks I have a cute bum, I think it is to do with the bike. It really burns calories.
pearllyn Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 Woohoo!:woohoo: - Lost a pound this week!!:woohoo:
Tucker5590 Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 Just saw this thread! I need to jump in here too! In 07 I lost 62 lbs. I still needed to lose more- but was absolutly amazed at the difference in the way I felt. I managed to keep it off for over a year, but almost all has slowly creeped its way back on. I am ready to be serious again. I have lost 7 lbs. in the past couple of weeks. I'd love to check in here in additon to my other accountability partner. I don't follow a program or structured diet plan. What worked for me was simply eating less, and excercising more and limiting my breads and sweets, not cutting them out completly..but very limited. It worked once, it will work again! I love to walk- but am stubborn and must walk outside. Soon it will not be dark when I get off work and I will be walking again. I work as an assistant to MY drs. nurse. Last time I had her weigh me once a week and record it in my chart no matter what the result. Somehow, when I did that my pride jumped up and cheered me on! I am going to start doing that again. Looking forward to losing with ya'll! :)
Luvparrots Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 Glad you joined us Ashley, I need all the inspiration I can get!!!
Talon Posted January 25, 2010 Author Posted January 25, 2010 WOW! Such progress has been made so quickly!! I'm so proud. Let's keep up on the progress as much as you can!
