Sorry Go Bowe, but I'm really sitting here wondering about the red meat. Why not have that more than 3 times a week?

Another good thing for you Luv would be to continue to talk about eating healthier with people who eat heatlhy. It really helps. I know a bunch of people who lose weight doing weight watchers, but I've heard that the meetings have now become just a bunch of overweight women saying how they didn't stick to it this week. Find people who have it working for them and talk to them. It works a lot better than just hanging out with people who have that "woe is me" attitude.

Started increasing my exercise already. I know it's probably not even a full mile there and back, but I started walking to class last night. When I get moved in with dad, I will try riding my bike to work on a Saturday, so I can see how long it takes me, how sweaty I get, etc. before doing so of a morning. Also, once I get moved in, I'll have a little extra (above what I plan to save) to join a gym. Exercise is little right now, but it's more than I have been doing. Looking forward to really hitting it in June.

Also, a co-worker here lost about 80 lbs the healthy way, and she's shown me a spreadsheet she uses to keep track of her water, protein, carb, and sodium intake, as well as exercise for each day. I've never done well with a journal though. And when I lose track of that, I get discouraged in trying to change my diet as well. Right now, I'm working on no soda, less sweet stuff, and more exercise.

Remember, moving all that stuff is a good workout too. Once you get going to the gym, I'd really try for something more than you just sitting on a bike or jogging on a treadmill for 45 minutes straight. Some weight lifting does wonders.

It's kinda funny now, but I just got married 2 weeks ago. Almost a year ago is when I started to CrossFit (I can explain if necessary). At the time, my fiance complained to her mother about how she wished her arms were smaller for the wedding. In response, her mom bought her a shakeweight. It was never used. My fiance also joined CrossFit, and she LOVED the way she looked on our wedding day (there's pictures in the wedding thread). The craziest part is that both her and I didn't really lose or gain any weight. We just look a ton better than we used to. It's amazing what happens when you get rid of that little layer of fat on the outside of all of your muscle that you have! Diet also played a big role, and hanging out with a bunch of people who are interested in fitness and eating well really helps force you to do the same. And if I'm gonna drink the theoretical kool-aid, I'd rather it be something that makes me look good and feel better!

Definitely need to lose more than a little fat around the muscles. My goal is 100 lbs.

It can be done.

This is a girl from my gym. Just try not to dwell too much on the weight. Focus more on the getting in shape part. Like, oh, when I started, it sucked for me to bike for a little. Now I can go for an hour with no problem!

Trust me, it's there. I tell people where losing that would put me, and they always tell me that I don't look like I weigh that much.

Do you mean that you are trying to get down to 100 pounds or that you are trying to lose 100 pounds?

You should just tell people that you're more badass than them. YOU train with a 100lb weight vest on! BOOM!
