While I by no means know alot about fitness, I am reading and absorbing all I can within reason of course. I am basically back after falling off the wagon in August. I started out in April of 2001 at 240 pounds had gotten down to about 188 by the begining of Sept. and then flip flopped around for several months. I gained about 10 pounds back, so came Dec 31 I faithfully promised to myself that this was it! No more FAT! So I rang in the New Year at 200 pounds and today I am 187!! So I am slowly getting to my goals! I workout totally at home using dumbbells, right now I am a little hindered with my choice of workout equipment. Let's say I have out grown the weights that I have,LOL.I am fixing to purchase a Treadmill and some Power Blocks and really throw down! So I am really psyched to get going 110%. Right now I am really concentrating on my nutrcion, which I have no problem. The love lifting weights, my biggest thing is cardio! LOL I much rather do weights anyday!! Well, I am off here to browse this great site! I didn't get to check it out to much the other night! TTFN! Laura

Keep up the good work and don't lose too much too fast cause it will just come back if you're not careful. Sounds like you're having fun so keep up the motivation.

I'm on a strict diet as well (but my goals are different) so I'm feeling with you bodyforlifemom!!! (o: Just never forget, that we can do everything we want if we just keep up the disciplin and motivation!

I am fixing to purchase a treadmill and some power blocks. I house it pretty small, so I need to get the most bang for my buck with exercise equipment. With the TM I know I can get my cardio in on days that I don't do it outside and the power blocks replace a bunch of dumbells and take up way less space! I am debating on purchasing a 3-6 month membership to a gym, but personally I'd rater WO by myself. Don't have to wait on equipment and some people don't have good gym ettiquet so I don't wanna be sitting or laying in other peoples sweat,LOL. I have ALOT of online support! I have a few clubs that I am in on Yahoo and I also have my own support egroup on yahoo. So my motivation will never wain! TTFN! Laura
