I agree with the Dude, (Jeffrey Lebowski) and also Over 43. ;-) Hey, it's all good if some people like the show. I don't agree with her methods and I don't think severely overweight people should train that way either. Constant yelling, making super fat people train like Olympians, it doesn't look t...

Thank you, Grammy ! Yes, it's a good feeling when you are exercising, sweating hard and completing your work out. I'll have to train inside today because it's raining - - first time in several weeks I am not able to train outside, usually even if there's a lil' rain I can still train outside because...

I thought my upper body was WEAK but I can do 45 push ups non stop so it puts me in the 'Fit' category according to an article I read. :-) I was always joking that my arms were like linguinis but they turn out to be fit and muscular, well, almost, lol ! I would love to do at least 80 push ups non st...

Hey, thanks Debs ! You have a good attitude, that's important to be successful. Planks are hard for beginners, it's true !

I've been doing quite good for the past 7 days out of 8, nice streak ... now down to the 194's since this morning was my official weigh in.

http://www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi/ Awh ok .. yes, I see now it wasn't 20-25 but 18.5-25 (although I've also seen sites where they talk about a 20-25 range, so) ...

4'11" ?? ... hello !! :-) Ok, I just checked my favorite BMI site and to have a BMI between 20 and 25, which is considered healthy you would have to weigh between 100 and 125 pounds.

Oh, it's always good when you have KNOWLEDGE ... thanks ! Yes, I was probably exaggerating a lil' bit, 50-70 pounds ... it was hard to guess, I would have thought the average weight gain would have been more than 20-30 pounds though, more between 30 and 40 ... so thanks for the precision. It's still...

Apparently it's not good to drink Diet Soda all the time. It makes you 'hungrier' in the long run because you get used to the sweet taste, etc. So it could make it harder to resist other sweet temptations ?? I don't have Diet Soda very often but it happens ... maybe once or twice a week I would have...

bluebunny27

Wow, I hadn't thought of that ... but it's true. Some women would think about it, should they get pregnant and gain 50 pounds or more ???? It would be something to consider probably.

Good point, Too Solid. I'd say to maintain I have to have a degree of compliance around 70% to my habits.

Well said, oolala ... This seems to make a lot of sense !! :-) The whole thing is a work in progress !

Hey thanks, everyone !
