Hehe, the fun part is when we try to incorporate the babies into the workout...my two year old does "push-ups" with us...my 9month old is great for some bicep curls...they love it!

[jimmeh]

It took a lot to get my family on the bandwagon with me but over the last month I've gotten Dad (the chef) to stop preparing the massive proportions the we were accustomed to. Its much easier to eat right when there is not an excess of food available, and my grandmother who lives down the street from us has benefited from the leftovers. I'm curious to see if anyone else in the family will lose some inches as well.

[Ranaesheart]

jimmeh - Perhaps you can explain this in detail sometime in a post and share with the group.  I would personally like to learn this training!!

I want to be a fly on the wall with dai3symae .. :D :D :D

[Angelinthemorning]

I have the Winsor Pilates, it's not bad but, my tummy is just not up there at that level yet! Today we just incorporated things from our class and it worked out really well.

[dai3symae]

AND THE WINNER IS..........THE SUSSEX SPANIEL!!!!   Ranaesheart, your dog won!!!

[jimmeh]

Kinda hard to play the wii when there are 3 other couch potatoes that tend to hog the television. Lol. Comcast does have some fun exercises on demand when I get the chance to use the tv though

[justscore]

I have been trying to do atleast 30 min cardio per day,,,,,,,,,,,,,elliptical, stairmaster, etc.  I throw in a few days of weight training too.  It will be interesting to see what kind of program my traininer puts me on.

My hubby and I did Nutrisystem last year and it works as long as you stick to their food.  I wasn't a fan of most of the food and to think I had to eat it for the rest of my life, was NOT realistic (for me)

[Ranaesheart]

PrettyKitty .. Two cats .. one is a plenty for me .. lolll

jimmeh - You're definitely doing it the right way and for the right reasons.  Hope you will share with the community often.  I found that 1,400 calories and exercise were what triggered my loss as well.  Don't you feel much better???  That's WONDERFUL that YOUR DAD is helping!!  Talk about family support!!!

Yeah .. no coat today and all the snow just melted (except for one small spot) .. not looking forward to 6 - 12 inches of snow anticipated for Friday!

Angelinthemorning - I'll take SPRING any day .. even with tornados over this SNOW!!!  

[dai3symae]

jimmeh.....what about a wii?

Hi, Angelinthemorning.  I'd love to be a fly on the wall during your playgroup......sounds like you have a lot of fun   :)

[jimmeh]

My dad has me on a 3-2-1 combo deal, which has 2 minutes of cardio to elevate the heart rate, 3 minutes of strength and 1 minute of abs, which I supplement with a 20 minute ab routine and the occasional walk/jog (when the weather permits).

[dai3symae]

Heidi....I'm glad it's over and all are OK

jimmeh what kind of exercise are you doing?  I'm sure you feel great about the weight loss and healthier lifestyle.  You're smart to do it while you're young.

[Ranaesheart]

Angelinthemorning - Yes .. we are still "chatting" and so glad YOU are HERE!!!  

Glad to see you are mixing up your exercise and this playgroup activity sounds Wonderful!!!   How exciting!

I have a video that has 3 10-minute workouts that I love because each is a little different and by breaking it into 3 segments, it is easier for me to do and push myself through it.  I also have Slim in Six .. but am still working on it ... it is difficult and I keep going a little further each day.

Any you like???

[jimmeh]

Yea. It was very strange to go walking in the winter in a t-shirt with snow mounds surrounding me on all sides!

[Angelinthemorning]

hey, i'm in ok.  about 30miles north of edmond. had quite a few touchdowns south of us.  what a crazy weather day and it's only feb.  It's going to be a long spring...

[jimmeh]

Thanks guys! After dealing with excessive weight my entire life I decided I needed to make a change for myself... Pretty much overnight I just decided to start being sensible about the things I put into my body and how I take care of it.

I started a food journal at my-calorie-counter.com and update it daily. I cut back to (on average) 1400 calories or so and swapped out all beverages for water; I also started a 50-70 minute interval training exercises daily (my dad used to train boxers so he helps me out) to help add some lean mass to my figure, and I guess that is pretty much it... Lol
