How many do you do?

Because I've heard that by doing crunches/situps it doesn't help at all, because it doesn't shed the fat around your stomach area, it just works the muscles, making them stronger, which makes them bigger. Hmm...

I do about 50-100 before I go to bed every night :) I need to start doing crunches in the mornings again to as well.

hayley

Yeah I can do about 100, 50 at a time.

I might do them again it's just I don't know if that's the right thing to do, but oh well I'll have to see. :)

I'm giving myself one more day of this nutty eating and then it's back to reality. Besides, I've been feeling so full and icky eating all these sweets, even though they have been deeeeelicious! Here's to a healthy 2004, everyone!

God it's been that long!! I was gonna start getting my butt back in gear today but my foot will not allow that! Steve got my a pilates video and I like to do yoga at night before I go to sleep. Relaxing , it is, yes! Anyways, my total weight loss to date is 116 pounds and still counting!

Julie, how are you doing? I know you have been exercising your butt off. Well, your butt should be gone by now! :laugh:

Wow Kris, that's amazing!!! Good for you. I decided to join the Get Fit Challenge again this year at work. Not sure if I posted about this last year or not. You get on a team of 5 people, everyone gets weighed in (total team weight), then 90 days later, you weigh out, and the team with the overall highest percentage of loss wins $2500 to split. There are also individual prizes. I'm down 9.6 pounds to date and still trying hard.

SCOTTSMYMAN

03-25-2004, 12:11 PM

Alright, Teri!:clap: That's so cool. I think you may have mentioned it last year but my memory isn't very good. You've lost like 10 pounds really. Keep us posted on your progress and I hope you guys win the money. That would be so cool!!

JulieCitySlicker

03-25-2004, 12:26 PM

Hey Kris and Teri :D

Congratulations on your accomplishments, that is fantastic :bigjump:

I am still going to the gym, it is going on the 3rd month now and I have lost almost all the weight I wanted to and am getting toned up now :) I go out there 3-5 days a week and am eating healthier to!

I am amazed from the progress I'm seeing from just 3 months of going to the gym :cool:

JulieCitySlicker

03-25-2004, 08:46 PM

I worked out at the gym for an hour today :dancing: :thumbsup:

Wow, Kris, that's awesome!! Congratulations girl, keep the brilliant work up. :cool: :D :thumbsup: :party:
So, you do yoga? I've been thinking of starting that, it looks really cool.

Congratulations to Teri and Julie also, you girls are fantastic, keep the good work up! :) :p

As for me, well. :rolleyes: Let's just say I have been quite lazy latley but I have lost abit without even noticing it, just from eating healthier! :eek: :cool:

SCOTTSMYMAN

03-26-2004, 08:35 AM

It's funny last night Steve and I were talking and my weight loss equals my daughter holding the cat!! :laugh: She weighs about 100lbs and the cat is a fat ass:laugh:
My foot's been feeling better but I got to go see my mom today. She works at a jewelry store and I need my wedding rings resized. They are soo big I can't wear them right now because the keep falling off. ( and that's with a bandaid wrapped around them)

Everyone, keep up the good work!! :thumbsup:

Hayley, sometimes eating healthier is the best start! I'll admit I always don't and sometimes allow myself a treat but to stay successful , I think you have to allow it once in awhile. I love Skinny Cow ice cream sandwiches, it feels like you are being sooo bad but you are really not!

hayley

03-26-2004, 07:00 PM

Icecream sandwhiches? That's different, lol

Kris, you are amazing, I can't stop congratulating you because what you have accomplished must feel awesome!

I havnm't been able to go to the gym for about a week now cuz there wasn't enough money in my account when they tried to take their money out :( I got my tax refund today so I'm gonna go out there today or tomorrow to pay it so I can go again.

I've been doing a lot of walking though :D

TeriB19

Ok, well today I started my pilates program. OMG!!!!! My body hurts right now and I can't even do all the exercises yet. My stomach is killing me from all the ab work. That's good because that's my biggest problem area.( all stretched out from having babies) My weight loss is stuck right now so , I need to get on the ball.

How is everyone else doing??? Teri, how's your program going?
Hey Kris, I'm doing ok. So far I'm down 12 pounds and counting. I tried Pilates at the gym one Saturday and killed the crap out of my hamstring muscle. I really overdid it. Good luck with your program. It's a lot tougher than it looks.

I need to get my butt to the gym today, but with the kids off from school, I may just hit the treadmill here at home.

JulieCitySlicker

04-08-2004, 11:38 AM

I'm going back to the gym now, started back on Tuesday:)
I worked out for an hour On tuesday and Wednesday to!
I found out yesterday why I wasn't getting as much of a result from the torso and ab machines. I had the weight up way to high! I was doing the torso machine at 150 pounds and the ab machine at 130, and they told me that having that much weight is increasing muscle but it causes your abs to expand out instead of getting smaller.
So I took off about half the weight I was doing and I noticed a difference just from yesterday workout!

Ugh! Teri I tried pilates once, I got a video. I couldn't even keep up with them girls! LMAO!

Way to go Kris:)

Hey ladies, I'm am officially down 16 pounds now. Weight Watchers has really been easy and helpful. I like the WW site and have had very little problem following the program.

JulieCitySlicker

04-22-2004, 07:22 PM

Thats great Teri!
You Go Girly!
I was thinking about joining weight watchers or something like that just to maintain my weight, I've lost what I wanted to from the gym but I need something to help me eat healthier and to stick with it now.

TeriB19

04-25-2004, 05:49 PM

I feel like I got a good workout packing my stuff and carrying my suitcase down the steps!! My suitcase weighs more than my husband!! But I'm all ready to go!!! We're planning on doing LOTS of walking while we're in Vegas, so I've got lots of workout gear and good workout shoes. Suppose to be really hot out there this weekend so hopefully I'll sweat off a few pounds.
