Another exercise support thread

Forward, I don't know how tall you are, but a size 8 is pretty small, probably don't need to lose much, if anymore.

Girls,

I lost 28 pounds on the "My husband is D!ck Diet". When I'm stressed I don't eat. Now, the problem is keeping it off. I feel better and stronger all the time, and I have people pushing food at me because they think I need to eat.

WTH! I weigh the same as Valerie Bertanelli, she gets the front page of PEOPLE in a bikini, and people want to strap me to an IV. I have regained 5 of those pounds, but really want to stay this size. This is the size I was ( 128 lbs) before my Hysterectomy and artificial hormones.

I'm keeping a close eye on your thread to see how you are doing.

Size 8? Sheesh!

I tend to waver between 8 and 10. I tend to feel really good at 135, so that is about where I want to be.

However, it is more about feeling good for me. My skin looks a lot better when I am exercising and I feel healthier. It is free and burns off the stress for me.

I weighed about 125 at the worst point.

I do need to up my water intake. Any suggestions?

Hey glam,
If you're like me and have a tough time drinking enough water because of the taste, I find that lots of ice, and a squirt of lime really helps. Sounds like your month is off to a great start! Way to go!

All right, hopping on the freakin' bike. Will figure out some way to mix up the cardio tomorrow.

When I'm stressed I don't eat.

Oh I wish that was my problem!

I did drop 15 in two weeks in the early days, but I'm working for every lb now!

Just wondering does your "Your husband is a D*ck diet" have another name? In my sitch is it acceptable to replace "d*ck" with some other body part or maybe the word that most women say you never use?

Just wondering.

LMAO

Oh my gosh Punk I love Dick Diet! What a way to drop those pounds. Eric LOL!

Making great strides with cardio. Incorporated a little bit of basketball with cardio. I get bored very very easily, so hey it's been fun throwing a basketball around and doing lunges and squats with one.

Anything I can to get motivated for cardio. Also spending much less time pumping iron. I am too tired by the time I move to the weight room.

Swimming later today with kids and park again tonight with the dog and kids.

Loving life at the moment!

FMV thanks for the water tip. I need to drink twice as much as I am today, but hate running to the bathroom all the time too! He He He!
