"Weighty Issues"

During discussions here, I've met a lot of people who seem to have added a few pounds here and there. Of course, this is an epidemic. We all, at one time or another, have some extra weight that suddenly appears out of nowhere! That darn dryer is shrinking clothes again! One too many glasses of wine or a pint over the limit. Extra slice of Chicago style pizza anyone? GUILTY! I lost 80 pounds through sheer will and determination. I love to cook, I love to eat, I love food and family dinners, BBQs... you get the picture. I want this group to talk about it. Share your frustrations, gain ideas from others (not lbs), get healthy recipes, new ideas for work outs, anything that is a "Weighty Issue" for you. Please help me. I continuously need the motivation and inspiration to stay healthy. I know there are others out there too.

Congratulations Marissa!

Hey Marissa I didn't know you were pregnant! Congrats! When are you due?
Comment by Marissa on March 14, 2010 at 10:25am
Glad to see that people are moving in the right direction. The first step is just deciding to actually take a step! For me: pregnancy is going.....well? First trimester is a doozy with all the sickness and being so darn tired. I've gained almost 10 pounds in the first trimester. With this one, it seems the only way to combat the sickness is to eat regularly. Doc says it's not a problem. Plus, we are figuring that another contributing factor is that I'm drinking calories. Number one rule with weight loss.... Don't Drink Your Calories! They are empty calories that you could gain with something healthier. But, being prego, lots of milk and juice. I'm waiting for the warmer weather so I can get out and walk. And then lots of swimming this summer!

I am really strapped financially which is the problem right now but I do need to do something. The weight is just not coming off. I will check into it, thanks Darcy.

By joining this month they gave me a $174 discount in exchange for a bag of food for Haiti which I could do. yes there is a monthly fee and it is reasonable I thought.

Wow maybe I should join! There is one right near me!

I am so enjoying Curves. They have already began talking to me about the next step which is Smart Steps. I understand it kicks the work out up a notch. I just love it. It is a 30 minute low impact resistance program. I have not been sore at all. There is upper body and lower body workouts in the curcit. I am just feeling so good.

that is great Darcy before you know it you will shedding off the weight you want and Pat is right it is key to do the things that make you feel good when doing it because then you want to do it more often and if I understand it Curves has a variety of different steps that you do to keep it interesting you all keep up the good work and everyone keep up your spirits

Good for you Darcy! It really helps if you enjoy what you do to get exercise. Keep it up!
