about 12 weeks to go until swimming weather who's getting in shape?

[Guava Jelly]

I broke the 190 barrier this week.189.2 lbs
down from 235 lbs about 25 lbs to go.
6 months hitting the treadmill avoiding fast food and laying off the bud light.
the only six pack i am gonna touch is mine when i get one.
peace out and good luck to my fellow dimensionally challenged

1. are you doing the

southbeach type of diet?

[Guava Jelly]

3. eating basically 6 small meals a day

laying off of carbos and drinking protien shakes.
maybe loosely south beach ish.
What i have been doing lately is wieghtlifting.
I read that for every pound of muscle you put on your body burns 60 more calories a day

4. I've been hitting the gym pretty hard since September.

Now that I've mostly switched to cardio-type workouts, I've dropped some weight and a couple inches. :thumbsup:

[Guava Jelly]

5. kick arse

just have to want it bad enough

[aQuArius]

6. In 12 weeks I should be

36 pounds lighter. But weight isn't really the issue. I just want to drop sizes. If I gain muscle, it will weigh more than fat. I've been running 5K's but now I've got to focus on my diet and lifting weights. Thanks and good luck to you too! :hi:

7. Good work!

I'm trying to get back into shape as well. I quit smoking and lost a total of 10 pounds in the last two weeks. I have a long way to go.

8. every journey starts with a few steps

when i first started i video taped my self on a treadmill in my skivies .
And i watch it now and a gain to remind myself where i started and to encourage my self to continue.
Video doesnt lie..I went from 40 jean size to 34 right now..

9. I've got to. Indeed, I just spent 5 minutes on my elliptical trainer...

My legs and arms no longer feels clammy and gross, but I'm sweating out of my forehead like a pig on dope...

[TheFriendlyAnarchist]

10. Hehe, I've been told I suck, but with my teenager metabolism

I've been lifting weights, and I'm at 125lbs, 5'8" tall.

11. Round is a shape.

I'm short, so gaining an extra ten pounds really matters. I'm doing Weight Watcher Points to lose some holiday fat.

12. I am seriously motivated, since we just booked a Hawaiian vacation

:hi:

[Guava Jelly]

13. just remember to hit the gym

because skinny is just skinny.
but a few muscles here and there not to much can turn a dud in to a stud

[Whoa_Nelly]

14. Went back to eating vegetarian diet and started Pilates

Both have already made a dramatic difference in just over two weeks.

Am using a Pilates DVD, and coulod see a difference in my tummy area within one week.

Hey GOPsUx!

on your progress!

[ThomCat]

15. I'm getting into a slightly more round shape.

Does that count? I imagine I'll float better.

[LaraMN]

16. I started my running routine again, now that the road is free of ice

enough to use it. My god do my glutes and my shins hurt! Sounds like you're doing AWESOME! Way to go!

[yvr girl]

17. I've lost twenty pounds without even trying

Now I'm motivated to see what some effort will do.

[Guava Jelly]

[yvr girl]

19. We shoud set a date

To keep us all motived.

21. Good work! Last year...

I lost about 50 lbs (from approx. 210-215 lbs after my daughter was born to 155). Still don't consider myself exactly beach worthy, but I do the playground proud :).

[mdmc]

[Nikia]

23. I look both too fat and too thin to wear a bikini
