The Sweetheart's Challenge

[Whey ready 1]

Lindz...if motivation is ur hard point try a class. After paying 30 for a 3x a week month long class I felt like I had to go to get my money worth and it was less expensive then the dvds I bought and tried to motivate myself at home to do. Also you get to know the ppl in a class so it was nice to go and chat with them plus if I didn't go one time when I went back everyone was like "where were u?" it made u come so u didn't have to make up an excuse. I know the money adds up, but if its just for the rain/snow months it should only be a few months a yr then u can go outside n walk instead. Good luck

I totally agree! I go to a cross training class (I pay monthly for however many I want to go to...you can choose once a week all the way up to everyday...I usually go 3 times a week) and I also go to a spinning class (I bought a package of 8 classes and I can use them anytime...I go once a week). Its very helpful to buy those types of classes because you're motivated to use up all the classes you bought and like whey said, people start wondering where you are if you dont come! I also belong to planet fitness (I like that they're a 24 hour gym) and even though its pretty cheap to belong there, I still feel like I want to get my money's worth every month which usually leads to me working out there the other days I'm not cross training or spinning plus sometimes it motivated me to do 2 workouts a day (spinning and PF or or cross training and PF etc). I know there are memberships for planet fitness starting at 10.00/month. I can't remember what that gets you but I know the 20/month membership will get you some free personal training and you can also use any PF anywhere. Joining a gym definitely helped me as far as the motivation goes.

I'm down 2. Phew this is hard!! I'm going strong though. I feel good. I got some new smaller gym clothes, bras, and underwear this weekend so that makes me feel good. I want some tips to lose faster! You'd think for spending 5 hours a week at the gym, and following your diet would be enough. Oy, how do skinny people do it? LOL

[TKW 501]

Isn't it great to buy smaller clothes? I love it (even if it is just bras and underwear ). Keep it up Heather! You're doing great!!

[Noturningback15 45]

Hello! I had a pretty good week. I am down 3 pounds. I know it sounds crazy but I reduced my workouts some and on the days I did workout I tried to eat a little more. I think our bodies need a little break sometimes.

[amyloveslou 11]

Sorry all it's been a busy day today! I maintained this week but I have stopped drinking with my meals. Finally! I've also been timing my meals and stop at 20 minutes even if I'm not at that full sensation yet. I've also picked up a new hobby. Believe it or not it's Metal Detecting! I get to hunt treasure and get exercise at the same time. I LOVE it! I do it with one of my other friends and she's loving it too. All the walking and arm work and then squatting to dig what treasure I have found. Simply amazing. Ok done blabbing! Hope everyone has a good week!
