Amber – Congratulations! What an inspiration.

Andrea – I fell off the wagon of everything for months and regained all that I had progressed earlier this year. Now, I am back in the swing on the food side, but struggling to get back into the groove on the exercise side. I hear Zumba and Spinning are both awesome, but I have no time to get to a formal class, so I have to rely on walking and DVD exercise.

I went to a really “fun” spinning class in college. The instructor had us visualize riding up a very popular local mountain. Having been up that hill many times in a car, it was easy to visualize all of the hairpin curves as well as the State Park and view that was at the top. Boy, it was quite the sweat-fest and I would not have tried that mountain on a real bike.

Hi Andrea,
It’s funny that I’m reading this now. I JUST came home from a Spinning Class. I’ve been going to class on Mon & Fri at the East Butler YMCA for almost 6 months. I’ve lost 10 lbs (although I’ve been stuck there for awhile.) I haven’t really changed much else so I attribute every one of those pounds to all the sweating I do while Spinning. It’s a GREAT workout!

I’ve never commented other than for a giveaway, so first I want to say hello. And that YOU CAN DO IT!

I decided in January that so help me, I was going to lose 25 lbs. I started going to the gym about 4 times a week. At first I thought it might kill me, but it got easier. After I was able to run 3 miles on the treadmill without wanting to die, I decided to run the track instead. And then I started the thinking it might kill me all over again. But that too got easier and I stuck with running on the track.

i also did a major overhaul of the types of things I made and ate for lunch and dinner. And together, the combo worked. Once I hit 25 lbs. I was really excited. But wasn’t done yet. If I could do that, I could certainly lose enough more to fit back into my pre-child clothes I have been hanging on to with vain hope.

So I kept going and how ironic that this post should come up today because just 2 days ago I got on the scale and was FINALLY the same weight as when I got married. All those out of style clothes I have been hanging on to in the vain hope of fitting into them again fit me!! Not that I’ll wear them, they’re way out of style, but just the fact that I can!

Sorry for the eternal comment, but like I said, that was just 2 days ago so I’m still excited. I have lost 37 lbs. You can totally do it!!!

I am facing the same uphill battle. I have been able to maintain my weight for a long time, but since turning 32 I feel like it is an uphill battle. My husband bought me another treadmill (he broke the last one) and I have started running again. It has done wonders on my mood, but I am not loosing weight. I am simply eating more and honestly, I want to eat everything in sight. My guess is its my wacky hormones. As for running, I started out walk/jogging and now I am up to 2 – 3 miles every other day. I would like to do a 5k or 10 k next year, so we will see.
