  • Re: Trick *NO* Treats: Lose 10 lbs by Halloween!

    Really I think exercise is the only thing we can do to bring about more weight loss, and even that is tricky...More water won't cause me to loose more weight, and more food or especially less food, WILL NOT HELP either...the right foods help.
    But exercise, and longer periods of enjoying activity will increase our burn and metabolism...but acutal weight, our body controls how fast it is burned up and when it's released...I work pretty darn hard on my half of the deal and I am slowly learning to trust my body for it's half...and accepting (slowly mind you)accepting it's pace.

    I would like to go for 10 by Jan 1, 2007...It might cause us to tighten up, maybe go for some "bigger weekender exercise goals in the nicer weather...A big bike ride at a park, hiking some trails, for a couple of hours...entering a race, (we might not be that ready)...
    up something in the exercise arena on the weekend, that is a challenge...that's probably what I would do to capitalize on being outside...We have found these excellent parks out here in Gwinnett Co, Adena...Oh couch potatoe here never went to any of them..there is also "60 within 60" which is 60 trails within 60 miles of atlanta. We are going on some of these this fall, especially since I found my daughter comes alive with outdoor exercise...

        I hit the 159's....

        Only it's 159.4... but, I'm taking it !!!

        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

        Susan - I've certainly had the same type of set-back. It's over, be gentle, kind and loving to yourself and just jump right back on program. You'll feel better in the next 3 days - I guarantee it!

          Nice Cher! I'm proud of you! You've done so well these past few weeks!



          Sounds like you have a great plan Jess! Exercise is really the key for me too.

          Adena - I love that idea for the New Year challenge. Should we start it up November 1st??

              I also vote for Nov. 1. Might as well go straight from one challenge into another.

              Jess, I'm in Suwanee -- you must not be too far from me, huh?

              Saty, now that I've learned about stability ball pushups, I'm hoping for a new challenge for Oct...?

                            Thanks Nancy - it's only 1/2 pound. But, I'm just glad I'm back on track again and that I've seen the 150's on the scale again.

                              Stability Ball Push up, someone is gonna have to explain that one to me! Sounds hard...push ups sound hard...I think i would rather ride a bike 10 than do 10 push ups or sit ups...it's that something.

                                Even smaller world, Jess... I just moved from Lawrenceville. Was not far of downtown Lawrenceville, near Grayson. And before that, I lived in Dacula off Old Fountain. Traveled that stretch of road on 20 between 316 and Braselton Highway daily... probably right around the corner from you.

                                Courtesy of Saty, this is a stability ball push up: http://www.acefitness.org/getfit/ex...aspx?pageID=285.
