MENA diet/exercise thread

[Leyla 0]

I need to hop on the Diet and Exercise thread train. CHOO CHOO!!

I need a buddy or something. I got a lot to drop!

You know I need to start too. I actually was thinking about waiting until Thanksgiving though.

I LOOK LIKE I EAT MY HUBBY'S FOOD! He's so darn stinking skinny! The man weighs 144 lbs! I haven't seen that in a long time. I'm jealous!!

Well we're in the same state! (close[ish] if I remember right....). We can help each other. I need to lose UBER weight. My hubby keeps buying cookies and ice cream and POP! and he LOVES Kefta and French Fries. I'm eating Salads today. Nothing crazy.

Have you joined a gym, Leyla? That would be the best way for you to get started! Take some classes to get you motivated! In fact I better get ready to go to my yoga and spinning classes this morning!!!

Can't afford THE Gym. But I have A Gym on my apartment property. I'm going to start going there. And when I move I think my parents are giving me an exercise bike

I'm still here...trucking along. I am now working out 6 days a week...3 at gym and 3 at my hubby's dance practice. It's fun and I have lost 16 pounds so far. So I'm a happy ducky!

I hope all of you are doing well!! We need to keep in touch during the holidays...its going to be so HARD!

Wow Nawal that's great! I'm hoping to lose a total of about 50 pounds. It seems so huge! I think I would feel much better if i lost 25 so that's my first goal. I've convinced hubby to at least "diet" with me. As for working out that's my real challenge esp with time.

I agree its the TIME issue! My hubby is working out with me and tries not to scarf down all his junk food in front of me! But at least he's trying to be supportive! I think if you break down your goal weight into smaller goals...its MUCH easier. So make your first goal 10 or 15 pounds, then start with another 10/15 goal...you then have that feeling of accomplishment. I have the same goal as you but I have broken it down to the smaller goals...I try to not obsess about the weight but about how I feel and how my clothes are fitting me. (easier said than done...)

Hey ladies! I'm about to jump on the diet wagon but need something to push me on it!!! Nawal thats great that you are losing. I have thought about joining a jazzercise class but I am having to push myself and my friend to go and do it.

Jazzercise sounds fun!! Do you have a local YMCA by you? They are usually pretty affordable and will work w/ you on cost as well. Our Y gym has a sitter service from 6pm till 9pm and I can see the twins while I work out! IT ROCKS They have the gym, swimming and classes for all. Might be worth checking out.

Send me your cell # in a PM ... I will text you and annoy you everyday I'm hitting up the gym!
