slow is better than fast, jpin. it will stay off better.
i had a dream last night that my best new pants were too tight and ripped all across my back... but i think that has more to do with the audition i signed up for than anything else. still, time to get serious again.
I just reached my first plateau -- was exercising regularly, a combination of running on a treadmill at the gym and doing bellydancing workout at home (fun! really challenging), getting at least 30 minutes of exercise a day, and really seeing/ feeling the effects. Haven't weighed myself since last week, but at that point I'd lost 7 pounds from my alarming results at my physical. (Scales are all slightly different, though, two readings on the same scale are more trustworthy.)
Anyway, then sozlet got sick and I couldn't bring her to the gym's babysitting, but I still did the bellydancing -- then *I* got sick, and I've had no energy for nothin' the last couple of days. Not sure if I should push through it or not. Don't want to overdo it, which is my default mode that I have to always talk myself back from.
Hold that dominion, Noddy.
Take a rest and get back into it when you ae better, soz. A little break may be just what you need to get past that plateau. A change of exercise helps too. Try the eliptical for a week or two instead of the treadmill.
Dag - Serious is good.

Soz, what ^^ said.
Dag, bad dreams are sometimes blessings in disguise. It says you're thinking about the audition and also about yourself. I get serious regularly, problem is I slack off just as regularly. This week, I'm serious.
seems like i'll be a part of a drag queen musical :-)
that will involve lots of rehearsals with dancing, then performances three times a week. perhaps that is my final ticket to the 15-20 pounds off station. it still has to be confirmed, so, wish me luck.
Good Luck Dag... not that you need it.
And way to go J_B!
I'll bet you I can lose two pounds in the next five minutes.
I bet you could lose a lot more than that, cjhsa :wink:

Finally, a contentious political question that Dag and I agree on. My own favorite workout is 30 minutes on the rowing machine, followed by another 30 on the elliptical. It works out practically every muscle in the body. But I agree the elliptical by itself is already a great workout.

Sometimes I'm just full of it. I know, and won't deny it.
Okay. I've been away from this thread for awhile... I was flat-lining and I didn't want to see the results in print. I did gather myself together and press on.
Yesterday I hit a new low. (No, not that kind.)
206.7 So I am officially down 35 pounds.
My best to everyone.

I need it to be summer RIGHT now.
Tried on a pair of oldish red gingham capris that I expected would be summer target pants. Thought I'd just be able to get them partway up. mmmmm I stepped in, pulled 'em up, and did 'em up
NONONO it's too soon.
Nemmind.
I can buy new ones in a coupla months. Hopefully at least another size smaller

I'm in the 6s!!!! First time since last summer that I've weighed in under 170. I'm looking to get to 168 and then coast for a bit. 169.5 today.
Wow! Good news all around. Congratulations to all of you!
I'm down 66.6.
(About 62 to go...)
