This is why BT rocks. You are my hero. Don't ever change. Smiley: inlove

Well, yeah - The healthy eating we've had down for a while - it was basically the lack of/inconsistency of exercising. I love to run, but my right knee is protesting enough for me to know I need to shed about 20 pounds at least before I hit the treadmill for running (I'm doing the speedwalking on it on my off days from my cycling/spinning). When I did run, it was only for 20 minutes due to not harming my bones (knees, ankles, shins, etc.). Definitely not enough time for me to get my sweat on.

I'm not making excuses, I just needed to find the right program for me - one that will kick my *** and sweat off the pounds without impact to my bones. I finally found it.

I'll either lose the weight or I'll keel over - better to do it while attempting to lose the weight then keeling over on my recliner watching tv. Along with avoiding diabetes, heart attack, and looking like the sexy beast I used to be, I'm also motivated by having to pay $59 a month for the gym.

Thanks all for the well wishes and heartwarming verbal ***-kickings. Much appreciated.

Yup, saunas rock. My gym has a decent sauna, whirlpool, and swimming pool that I'll definitely be taking advantage of. The indoor municipal swimming pool I usually go to (right across the street from my house) has a really stringent schedule for lap swims - one hour in the evening and one around lunch time.

Nexa-I agree! Unfortunately, happiness in life and love has bulked up my thighs, and I'm now in the same boat as Smoggy. I might try working out in the morning, but I get up at 5:45am (when I don't turn off the alarm in my sleep, that is) already, and I'd have to get up at 5am to get in 30 min of cardio....

Maybe I'll go to sleep in my workout clothes. Sexay!

If it's any consolation, I've been at it for about three months and I'm just now starting to see a difference (damn you, thyroid!). For two days running, I've had the guy behind me in line buy me my morning coffee. Smiley: wink

I'm happy for you...but I'm far too lazy to exercise. I plan on being unhappy forever in the hopes of remaining thin. If I start to get too happy, I just read the news and lose my appetite.

I wish I could do that. However, if I don't eat enough, I actually gain.

I hate you, thyroid.Smiley: mad

Try Supersets. Cardio and muscle building all at once. For quick weight loss, try the "Body for Life" program. It's great for getting over the intial hump.

He did buy me two! I gave the second cup to Carlos, my backup Interpreter.

My wife recently started instructing a spinning class.

I've renamed her, "The Devil Incarnate".

Spinning is brutal.
