CM- For you, maybe. I will not see a significant weight loss if I dont excercise.

I go to the gym at least 4 times a week. I can say that until I didn't get my eating habits in order, the weight losing (I should say, INCH LOSING) went very slow. Now that I've adjusted that, I am losing really fast. My instructor at the gym actually told me that 70% of weight loss is the food! It definately is. But working out helps ALOT. (Plus it makes u feel so good I dont like the days I dont go).

A secret: If u wanna lose FASTER, in a healthy way, try to subsitute any bread with fruit, especially apples. No bread during the week. It works!

Yes, working out won't help very much if you don't watch what you're eating as well.

When I first started at the gym, I went 4x a week, but only maintained my weight. The past couple of months I've stuck to a new diet, and I've been losing every week.

It depends on the person. When I was first diagnosed with my thyroid problem, and put on medication, it was just pulling teeth to get the weight off. Took me five mos to get 20 lbs off.

I needed exercise for that jump start, but right now, I see if I don't eat right ANd exercise, one doesn't work very well by itself.

I didn't sayit didn't, I just think that exercise is over rated, that's all.

OVERRATED???? Exercise is NOT overrated at all. Besides for the fact that you lose weight faster with exercise when dieting , it has so many other health benefits. Cardio is great for your heart, weight training is great for building endurance and strength, and it's also great for preventing osteoporosis later in life. I feel like a fat slob now that I skipped the gym for a whole week, but when I go, I feel great after, even if I really didn't feel like working out before.

Thank g-d I didnt touch any cakes yesterday!
I am so happy I was able to be strong yesterday especially when the house is full of goodies...I am realy hoping to be strong and lose 10-15 pounds before Pesach.
I decided if I look the way I do now I am not buying myself anything new for Spring.nothing can look really good or feel confortable when I am so big!
Besides the look I also started feeling different kinds of pain :In my knee..back..everywhere!It is terrible to see how we can abuse our bodies!Whats good about reaching almost 200 pounds??????

Okay, TenEleven, I'm in but we have to make this work. I NEED to lose weight by Pesach (bil wedding after shavous) just hadda baby, am incredibly overweight (for my standards anyways)
so here's what I suggest : the best part of Weightwatchers when I was there, I found, was the accountability. I wrote down everything I ate, and had to weigh in everyweek. If I put on wieght the WOMAN (the dreaded WOMAN AT THE SCALE) would tsk and ask me if I was good that week (like catholic school, only worse)
what we should do here, is start a new thread and everyday everyone wants has to type in exactly what they ate that day the good, the bad, the cheat eats, all of it.
we can all type in starting weight (or not if uncomfortable) and discuss how we're going, and every week (say tuesday a week from today) retype o ur wieght and discuss..

ten, w haddaya say?
anyone else? I'm too busy to go to wieght watchers but we can make one here...or sorta
we dont actually have to type in what we ate, but you have to admit to cheating...

this week was the first week I haven't lost in months.

I keep taking a bit of chocolate there, a bite of hamentaschen there... please tell me it's ok just to toss it all in the garbage!

I would be happy just to lose another 5 by pesach. Of course I have 40 more beyond that to lose, but I don't mind taking baby steps.

Dr. Pepper,

You are not a garbage can. (I tell myself t his all the time) You're not avoiding the aveira of bal tashchis (unnesscary waste) by shoving it in your mouth so it doesn't get wasted.

THROOOOWWWWWWWWWW IT OUT!

or send it with your kids to school, they can all get rid of together, the whole lot of them

the purim seuda we went to had a hypnotist show. he sold cd's after which my kids wanted to buy. so I told them as long as we get the 'lose weight' one also we can get a few. now I just have to listen to it once a day for 21 days. 2 down, 19 to go. if it works-great, if not-well. I always wanted to try hypnosis anyway...........

Dr.Pepper - you will throw out the junk food - as soon as you stop reading - you will throw out the junk food (do I sound like a hypnotist)

I'm new to the site, but I would love to join in. I've got a lot of weight to lose and have done too much procrastinating. Maybe this will be the push that I need to get started!
