    been on an exercise kick recently and it's helped. sadly, i've gotten up at 530am to work out in my basement, and have also worked out here at work...sometimes imposing 'double sessions' on myself. results are starting to show. pounds haven't exactly been flying off, but it's a slow but steady decline.

    Worth it though for the toning up?


    also b/c muscle burns more calories at rest than bodyfat, so a definite win-win. another comment...also why the numbers may not be moving on the scale so much, as muscle weighs more than fat, so if you build muscle, the pounds might not shrink as fast, but as muscle is more compact than fat.....your waistline sure would show it.


    good for you steve!
    :thumbup:

    i hope to get into exercise, one day. ;)
    i've got my daily walking which is great, but as some point i'd like to kick it up a notch. right now tho, i can only focus on one thing at a time.

    another half pound gone. :) i'm psyched.
    i haven't gotten my weight down to this point in a loooonnnnngggggg time!
    very motivating!
    can't wait to see what i feel, and look like, come june!
    8-)

    Cool on the half! I'm down one today!! after nothing since thursday!

    I hope to get exercise as well at some point.... :) But, I'm with you, one thing at a time!
    bugs in the way...I feel about you

    That's good! My last three doctor visits had all been increases...hmmmm would like to go now and see.....we have one of those horrid sliding scales in our gym here at work. i hate those things. I like the digital. Maybe 'cause i can get on the digital naked at home and i like that number better than the gym or the doctor where my clothes add!!

    It's a lot easier when you see downward movement on the scale. I saw upward of one pound and today is stressful, and all i want to do is eat. Even if it's good for me snacks...but i know i can't! I have to be good to keep that scale going down but it's HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRDD!!!!! Maybe if i go buy a new book at lunch that will be good!

    Well, lost 2lbs 12oz today, which was great :D . Unfortunately a lot of that was due to having a tummy upset :( Will have to take it easy or I'll put it all back on.

    Still being careful will hope.

    I've been out all day. There's not much news to report anyway... I stopped paying attention last week and haven't been weighing myself.

    I suppose I need to get back to it! :?

    it's not a diet is a lifestyle.

    don't give up even after a "slip"

    one doughnut is not the end of the world
