g84 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 I'm glad that i wrote out a plan.. I worked out yesterday (according to what i had written down), and it went a lot more smoothly. I will try to keep doing this..it seems less overwhelming this way. : ] Link to comment
Striker17 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 uhm..yeah..I doubt that. seriously. Do you realize how many natural poisons there are? Arsenic and cyanide are two of the most lethal things out there, and they're all natural. Splenda, on the other hand, is artificial, and there haven't actually been any conclusive reports indicating any health problems with moderate dosages. Link to comment
Johnty Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Do you realize how many natural poisons there are? Arsenic and cyanide are two of the most lethal things out there, and they're all natural. Splenda, on the other hand, is artificial, and there haven't actually been any conclusive reports indicating any health problems with moderate dosages. Thing is you don't readily and deliberately consume Apple seeds like you consume Aspartame which is in so many food and drinks such as diet sodas, flavoured waters, gello and others...You could consume 10 apples a day every day and even eat the pips deliberately without dying from cyanide poisoning as the dosage is so small and the blood would detoxify it, but if you eat and drink 10 products with Aspartame in it a day everyday the long term health problems are undeniable.

Alezia Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Yes there are natural poisons... I don't know anyone who goes out of their way on a daily basis to eat them. Yet people go to the store and buy "diet jello". Why are people bright enough not to eat the natural poisons yet stupid enough to eat the man made ones? Link to comment
Bella20 Posted July 19, 2009 Author Share Posted July 19, 2009 I personally don't think I'm stupid for eating diet jello. Link to comment
CallingAllAngels Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Well, even after a weekend of eating and drinking more than I should, I am still down 5 pounds....... Link to comment
DaBladeRoden Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 I'm up 1 pound from yesterday. Stupid Chicken Parmesan Link to comment
ghost69 Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 chicken parmesan didn't add a lb unless you ate a lb of it or ate it 3 straight meals in a row or something. Link to comment
dragon lady Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 I haven't lost any more weight, but the body fat % on my scales is starting to go down. Even though it's probably not accurate, I look for change more than anything else. I'm hoping to be buff as hell by October. Goodbye flab and boobs! Link to comment
DaBladeRoden Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 I need a scale that does body fat % Link to comment
dragon lady Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 ^If you get a set, don't buy the Tanita brand. That's the one I have. It puts me at 5 percentage points higher than what I think I actually am according to all other measuring devices I've used. The best one I've used is the weight watchers scale. That seems to be quite accurate. Link to comment
Alezia Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Yeah I have the Weight Watchers one and it seems quite accurate. How accurate I'm not sure.. but it seems to be on the right percent... I can't comment about the .something percent. Unless you're mixing some meds according to body fat, you probably dont need something that precise lol Link to comment
Dancergirl425 Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 I'm doing jazzercise 5-6 times a week and so far I've lost 10 lbs. We use weights during each class (I use 5lbs) and we do all different kinds of curls and whatnot. My question is... I'm trying to tone my arms and make them smaller, but am I actually doing the opposite and making them bigger by using 5lbs 5-6 times a week? Link to comment
Bella20 Posted July 20, 2009 Author Share Posted July 20, 2009 I'm down 22 lbs as of today!! Link to comment
CallingAllAngels Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 I'm down 22 lbs as of today!! congratulations! Link to comment
Jelina Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 I am trying to tone up my arms, preferably the back of my arms... don't know what it's called. I have weights that are 10 lbs, 5 lbs and 2 lbs. Which weights would work to tone up my arms? I keep wanting to use the 10 lb ones, but I'm not sure if they are too heavy, I don't want to end up with man arms. Does anyone know? Link to comment
DaBladeRoden Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 crap, my weight has plateau'd over the past couple weeks Link to comment
savignon Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 I just did my workout and am feeling good! This summer has been one dinner party after another so my weight's been staying the same even though I've been working hard minus some wine and cheese My wedding is next Saturday so I have to keep my eyes on the prize!!

NowandZen Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Well, I am in the same boat as some others. I am 3 months smoke free, and 10 pounds heavier. Everything smells and tastes sooo good. Mentioned it to my doc, and she said I can always take the weight off later. I feel like I am over the smoking part. I really have no motivation to exercise. Any ideas to get started? Link to comment

Great for you for being smoke free for 3 months. I've been smoke free for 3 days! I have NO CLUE how to motivate you to exercise...that is something I SEVERELY lack. I tend to starve myself to lose weight rather than exercise. It's not easy, but it works. Link to comment
