Well, I sure hope you're having a great time... |

How true is that! I have figured out that it is even is true this day... literally speaking that is. I just looked at pics of a few years ago and thought 'not too bad looking'. Age is not the kindest thing, so in a few years I expect to be saying, 'not too bad looking' once again:) So everyone out there, be thankful what you look like today, as it will be appreciated in a few years from now when looking back. Well, that's my thought anyways:) |
Oh... and then there is this thing on earth called gravity, which doesn't help much at all. haha |

Seriously??? Isn't that an oxymoron?? That is TOO crazy! How is that helping anyone, except for the owners of PF?? I sure hope this is a myth. Ok, I just looked it up. It appears that they do have a pizza day and bagel day, also giving out LOTS to tootsie rolls:( Not so sure what to think of that. What do you all think about it? |
Carmeow Carmeow - I took your post about having fruit in water to another level:) I had a rum/coke last night and didn't want to water it down with icecubes, so I used frozen blueberries instead:) It worked well and had some booze infused bberries as a healthy treat at the end:) K, not what you had in mind, but it was a nice way to incorporate fruit:) |

I love the fact that you can capture two threads and respond to both in one reply. How do you do that? Thanks in advance:) |
You see on the bottom right corner of your post? There is the "quote" button. Next to that is a button with "+. That is the button you click on all the post you want to multiquote. I think you can do up to three. Go ahead and try it! :) |

And YES I'm soooo serious about the pizza and bagels at PF. Ridiculous and just plain weird. Almost loses credibility as a gym doing stuff like that for "customer appreciation". How about free fruit? :/ anyway, I'm not letting it bother me. $10 a month is a good price and I don't need to pay for all the bells and whistles other gym memberships come with, like child care or tanning. |
Also can I just say, this morning I woke up and my bf immediately commented saying I looked "adorable" and he wouldn't stop hugging me and commenting on my looks. (My hair was not brushed and I had no makeup on) I really think my hair and skin are looking better than ever and I credit it to eating clean every day since I first posted in this thread. Also I've lost 7 lbs. so far. I've been feeling really happy and healthy lately. :) thanks for starting this thread and thanks everyone who is participating in the discussion!! |
Who hoo! Good job to you and everyone! Keep it up, we can do this! |

got through the weekend and the night out at the barbeque restaurant with no problem, I looked at the menu ahead of time so figured out what to order and never looked at when we got there. I also ate a plate of stir fired yellow and green squash, mushrooms and onions. I find it easier not to have any wine, because one glass leads to two and two leads to three. it's not been quite a week on the Oz diet but I lost 6 lbs so far. I know from dieting before that you tend to loose weight quickly at first so I can't count on this every week. Hard to believe but I am enjoying the restrictions of the diet, it takes the guess work out of what to eat and keeps me from trying to snack and eat just a little of this and a little of that. Bad news is my husband says my breath is bad and I am experiencing a lot of gas:D:D I do take two probiotic pills in the morning so I was hoping that would not happen but it must not have kicked in yet:( |
With regards to Planet Fitness they do have the bagels and pizza once a month. After 6 months of going there I have yet to be there on the day they offer it, so unless I knew about it from when I joined I would not have known they did this. At the one I go to they keep a basket of tiny tootsie rolls and purple taffy, by the front desk, sometimes I would take a tootsie roll before my cardio, sometimes not. At the one I go to the people in shape far out way the over weight people. I have been going to gyms off and on for over 30 years and to me the mix seems about the same as any other gym except for some of those places like curves or ladies only gyms. One thing I like is they keep it very clean, in fact it's one of the cleanest gyms I have ever been in. They can be a little fussy like you can't carry a gym bag around the work out area, or drape jackets on the machines. LOL they even told one of my friends that she needed to wear a different work out top since she had way to much cleavage showing (which in honesty she was). $10.00 a month is a bargain for this place, so Carmen you will probably like it a lot |
the diet I am on calls for a glass of warm lemon water in the morning, supposedly it helps detox the liver and help with weight loss, I am also going to try the vinegar as well. I just started reading a book called Plan D, it also speaks highly about the benefits of vinegar. Priscilla I now can say I like plain Greek Yogurt and you are right the higher the fat the better it tastes. it's hard to find though, I got the 2% Fage and actually look forward to having it in the afternoon now. |
dog Here's the way to lose weight-portion control. Just cut back on stuff. Cut out the junk food and reach for healthy snacks. DO NOT eat unless you are hungry. You do not need three meals a day. Eat small meals, snacks instead of a big breakfast, lunch and dinner. WALK. This is what I do and I do not worry about weight. Thank God you are healthy and pray for healthy habits. Treat yourself a little but portion control. You will lose weight and love it! My breakfast-coffee and toast and a fresh orange. I walk for 1 hour or 2. Then eat a yogurt. Later a banana. A few almonds. I am not hungry! Later a half of a sandwich. See, you can eat and lose weight! |

I'm writing this from my phone. Just wanted to let you guys know I got the courage to get on the scale today and it said I was 148. So I've lost two pounds so far. I drank wayyyyyy too much Saturday and spent the whole day in bed yesterday. One of my job's I do was suppose to start back up today but it's not. I am glad about that because my house looks like a tornado hit it. So instated of working out, I'm going to get my exercise by cleaning this place up. I have a 6 inch veggie delight on wheat I plan on eating for lunch. |

I don't know if they carry the Voskos brand here, in MI it does not sound familiar to me. The store had the full fat Fage there but I also noticed the 2% had 20 g while the full fat was lower. I have not had the full fat so don't know what to compare it to other than then the no fat that is so tangy. |

Thank you. It's a start. :) I am going to try not to be scared of the scale anymore and weigh myself more often so I can see if I am going up and down. Those things are good to know to keep you in check. |
What kind of workouts do yall do from home? I'm stuck at home and all my workout pants are in the dryer so I can't go run :p I'll probably just play the zumba wii game until the pants are done. |
Oh my goodness, you don't want to know. I like variety. I have my Zumba Fitness, my air climber, yoga from my iPhone app, and recently I've been trying Pilates from home. I really like to change it up. :p |
I have the zumba videos, but i have such a hard time working out at home. I always stop before i should because i get side tracked. :( We recently bought a smart tv which comes with FOD (fitness on demand I think they call it) which has some good videos too. I've been playing with those a little too. |

7 lbs is quite a good start. is Tony on the plan with you, it is so helpful to have support. My DH is not heavy so he thinks he is living healthy, the funniest thing is after a workout with dinner he has big chocolate protein shake with 2% milk and on top of the chocolate in the shake he adds a bunch of Hershey syrup to it:eek: He drinks two or more reg pepsi's everyday, he also adds at least two tablespoon of white sugar to the whole grain cereal I buy him. but he is thin so I try not to say anything, because he immediately turns the tables and complains about my weight so it is not worth bringing up all the sugar he consumes. Once I read this book Plan D I will let you know what I think, it is supposed to be very good and about health and clean living the gal that wrote it is a chemist or something and really understands food, she was quite obese as a young adult and now looks amazing, several of my friends read it. |
I don't know about the men in your life but it seems like woman will force themselves to eat things they are not that keen on if they see there is a heath benefit. My husband could not care less or even give it a try, like with stevia, or salad, or yogurt, or learning to not need his shake or cereal so sweet. Meanwhile I am eating stuff like plain greek yogurt and learning to like it. I will say while he does not need to loose weight he has high cholesterol and high Triglycerides which he prefers to take medicine for. At dinner the other night all the gals said they eat plain yogurt but not one of the guys would |

My guy is the same way. He eats horrible and loves beer. He gets mad when I push health food on him too. Mine also takes medicine for heartburn and asthma. I tell him he doesn't need medicine if he just changed his habits but he doesn't listen. |
