I'm in Week 7 of my kick-butt workout class, and the intensity is starting to ramp up a bit. I think they figure if they haven't scared us away yet, we're here to stay! In seven weeks, I've lost 9 pounds - a perfectly reasonable amount - though, bei…

Beating the Scale

I've been ecstatic since buying those size 12 jeans. I even wore a pair of my tighter 14's yesterday, which were just washed, and had no trouble getting them on. I was tugging them up all day (need to start wearing my belts). I was amazed considerin…

So sorry to hear it. I lost 3 babies myself, all between 10 and 19 weeks. It's heartbreaking. It truly is. You're right though, some gentle exercise will help your body recover. A physician colleague of mine and his wife just lost their baby at 20…

AnnieC replied to AnnieC's discussion 'Once and for all...how much cardio?'

Thanks for the replies everyone. I just turned 28 and I can definitely walk an hour, no problem. But since it's been cold and crappy out I have to do it indoors. The treadmill I own is OLD so I can't walk very fast without the belt slipping or somet…

Emma Joseph commented on Emma Joseph's blog post 'O my aching head'

I decided to go back to cardio only for a while because once I started incorporating 3 days of weights my progress as far as weightloss stalled. When I did cardio twice a day (which includes the circuits with weights) I saw great results!!! so I am…

Jane replied to AnnieC's discussion 'Once and for all...how much cardio?'

Unfortunately, there is no once and for all answer to this question. There are several factors: How active are you now? A person who does no activity at all will probably show weight loss by adding in moderate cardio every day (like only 30 min). I…
