ok girls- diet time.

[cardinalgirl]

So the holiday season is almost underway and over and im sure we have all been stuffing ( cleanly of course) ham , cookies , and eggnog in our bellys and now they have filled out sorta. I am in need for some great ways to lose a lil belly weight. Any suggestions? [img]smileys/smilies_09.gif[/img]

Yoga and Pilates...It's not like working out...I refuse to workout and I don't run or get on a treadmill.


And lots of fruits, vegetables and fish.


I do Pilates and Yogaeveryday(Sister is an instructor) and my body has never been better...It's amazing how I can contort now. I eat what I want, all in moderation though. Oh and I drink all the sweet tea I want(I know you are a Southern girl also)...But I also drink water, even though I hate it.


Trust me, do it...

I do Weight Watchers and go to Curves...10 down, 20 more to go!

Right on!

I agree with Kasey---pilates is amazing! It's relatively easy to do and you only have to do it a few times a week. Plus it's very relaxing so it helps with stress as well. I also eat alot of fresh fruits and vegetables and drink alot of water. I cannot stand plain water (too boring!) so I get the calorie-free flavored ones.

I have been kind of slacking lately and eating too much crap....... [img]smileys/smilies_10.gif[/img] It's hard to get motivated when it's so gloomy out! Ugh....

Hey Mary,

Wow, Tink! That's so cool! Maybe we can motivate each other! :-)

I've been doing pilates for three years now. When I started, I
was a size 14 and roughly 150 pounds. Now I'm 120 pounds and wear
a size 5/6. Most of the cellulite is gone and I have more
energy. Right now we are remodeling our kitchen, so cooking pasta
is inconvenient, though we have a hotplate and water source. I
swear I lost my last 5 pounds by not eating the pasta everyday!

[cardinalgirl]

yes .. see i love italian and i crave carbs.. specially on the time of the month! haha oh well, i ll figure it out. thanks for the help =)

[5cats]

I'm also Italian heritage so breads and oils are my downfall. I
could seriously survive on just those things and potatos too!

[cardinalgirl]

dont forget the pastries!

[tink]

Hey Mary,

You bet we can.. [img]smileys/smilies_04.gif[/img] I cant believe how well WW works. I am really enjoying being on the program. I feel like it was made for me because I love tracking things anyway.

I weigh in sunday again. Cross your fingers..

--Kim

[harmonygirl72]

Hey Kim--I weighed in last night and my total weight loss is 10 pounds exactly. (It's 12 when I weigh in at home...in the morning....naked! Haha!) I was excited to get the little star! I like the program, too! Good luck on Sunday! :-)


Mary

[kasey]

Congratulations to all of you...


Keep up the good work

[tink]

Woohoo! Go Mary!! I know, I am tempted to strip down in the office just for those couple of pounds. [img]smileys/smilies_04.gif[/img]

I am hoping to reach my goal by March 1st.. How about you?

--Kim

[harmonygirl72]

Haha! I always want to strip there, too! Well, my wedding is July 7, so that's when I'd like to be at my goal!

[tink]

I'm sure you will get there way before your wedding.. Congratulations on your engagement too!
