Just once, wouldn't I like to slide into a pair of sexy slacks or a short skirt and have heads turn. - Re: WASSUP, FOLKS!!

172.129.143.XI'm going to try the butterscotch recipe too....I bought the butterscotch mix....I just need to make it.
Yvonne, do you go to a gym that has group classes???
I've been going to group classes for about 4 months now and I have noticed a dramatic change in the size of my thighs....they are slimming down and I have added lean muscle too. If you have classes at your gym ...try out a weightlifting class or a step class. It has made a big difference for me!!!
I wore a size 8 skirt to an interview on Monday...I borrowed it from my sister....I was amazed how it just zipped right up
I LOVE CAMBRIDGE!!! - Re: WASSUP, FOLKS!!

68.197.232.XMolly:
Not only do I go to the gym. I have an Italian stallion to train me. Not to brag, he has been my personal trainer since 1998. We train three times a week. However, he has ALWAYS told me, "99% of weight loss is the DIET, not what we do here at the gym." He is absolutely correct. In the past, I would finish the gym and mosey on by Dairy Queen for a shake because "I deserved it".
Although I have not lost the weight I was supposed to lose, he has kept me "in the game" by firming up whatever muscle lies beneath the avalanche of fat.
Size 8, eh? Good for you!! That's the size I want to be. So I am shakin' and walking. - Yvonne

75.169.1.XThat reminds me of most of my many attempts at Weight Watchers over the years. Most WW's will confess to starving themselves on the day of the weight in, maybe even taking a diuretic or eating asparagus to get off a few onces, and then once the meeting was over we would all meet up for ice cream! In fact, at one time one of the meeting places was right next door to a Baskin Robbins ice cream parlor! The WW's door would open after the meeting and everyone made a bee line for BR.
I think that the show "Biggest Loser" has shown the importance of exercise and weight loss. Those people are in the gym up to 8 hours a day which is NUTS, but you can't argue with their results. They are all on a typical low calorie/low fat diet, but the exercise is what causes them to drop so rapidly. One thing that I have always found to be an interesting contradiction though is that 24 Hour Fitness sponsors that show which is the same gym I go to. When I go on Cambridge to drop a few pounds my trainer would get mad at me if I lost more then a pound a week because "It isn't safe". On the "Biggest Loser" they practically beat you up if you don't lose 10 or more a week!
Speaking of your trainer...if he is that hunkalicious how about posting a pic of him!
