If you want to up your exercise, go ahead but remember, even a plateau is an opportunity to learn maintenance. <BR/><BR/>By recording your measurements and taking photos, you can see the progress you've made. You need to look for what we would call Non Scale Victories (NSV) like rings falling off your hands, measurements going down, less headaches or other physical signs, ability to move more easily, etc. <BR/><BR/>But just stick to it. Sadly, that's the one thing -- sticking to a program even when you don't get a "reward." When you get to goal, that's how it's going to be anyway. <BR/><BR/>Good luck!!! Great progress so far!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14578627.post-1168309321508151012007-01-08T18:22:00.000-08:002007-01-08T18:22:00.000-08:00Both of my bosses did NutriSystem for awhile.

The best way to boost your metabolism is to build muscle by lifting weights. Add some weights to your workout program along with the cardio and you should get better results.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14578627.post-1168288104284081922007-01-08T12:28:00.000-08:002007-01-08T12:28:00.000-08:00Not sure how the whole power lifting topic got sta...Not sure how the whole power lifting topic got started, but I had to smirk at the whole "the more you lift, the more you must be compensating for something" thought. Any guy I dated who was into that stuff thought that he was WAY better at bedroom activities than he actually was! Does lifting give you extra testosterone and therefore a false sense of bravado or esteem????<BR/><BR/>Let's not forget those who have some kind of chemical help in getting that strong....they definitely need to lift a higher weight than everyone else b/c their "plums" have shrivelled into "prunes"<BR/><BR/>And yes, I know, not EVERYONE who lifts relies on......supplements.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14578627.post-1168287740062622042007-01-08T12:22:00.000-08:002007-01-08T12:22:00.000-08:00First week on WW and I lost 3 lbs!!!

However, I got a full refund so if you want to try it's relatively risk-free. It's just something about a hamburger patty that is so processed it doesn't need to be refrigerated doesn't sit well with me (in more way than one I found out).

When it does, I've lost weight with calorie-counting and again with Weight Watchers. When it doesn't, I maintain but I don't shed pounds, even with Weight Watchers (yes, I know it's because I cheat, but the thing is that I cheat because I don't really want it enough.) It's a very strange feeling. It's worked well for me, though, to lose ten or twenty pounds over about three months, to maintain for another six months, then lose another ten or twenty more; it's not dramatic, but I haven't gone back up. So y'all definitely start with the water and the swearing, and if your Weight Watchers synapse has closed, I think it'll work well for you because it doesn't exclude whole groups of food (a recipe for disaster for me.) <BR/><BR/>But what is that switch thing?

One is that I now have to walk 15-20 mins to and from the bus stop every day to get from home to work and vice versa and the other is that I have to pack lunch to take to work with me every day because the office is in the middle of nowhere and far away from food of any kind and most definitely out of the reach of naughty fast food.<BR/><BR/>Those two changes have made such a difference in such a short time. Without even really trying (because this time, unlike so many other times I had not intentionally set out to lose weight)I started losing and people have started noticing...<BR/><BR/>So I hope that your small change of drinking more water begets an even bigger change!!!

Some of it is vile, and people quit before giving it a chance. It really teaches you about portion control.<BR/><BR/>That said, a few years ago I made the resolution to eat healthy and exercise more, not lose weight. I didn't diet at all, and that's how I lost the first 150lbs. I thought Nutrisystem could take off the rest quickly but, I should have just stuck to eating right.<BR/><BR/>By the way, I wouldn't even consider eating 1000 calories or under, it is self defeating. You will get very hungry and as soon as you begin eating more calories you will gain all of the weight back plus some.<BR/><BR/>If you really don't think that you will ever lose weight than maybe you should work on eating healthier and loving your body as is--health at any size?<BR/><BR/>peace,<BR/>TaraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14578627.post-1167943897607939792007-01-04T12:51:00.000-08:002007-01-04T12:51:00.000-08:00Yeah, I was going to say @ 165 that's a pretty pow...Yeah, I was going to say @ 165 that's a pretty powerful squat for a woman.

I need to weight lift more.<BR/><BR/>But enough about that. I think the water thing is a great resolution. It's something I really struggle with myself and therefore I never make it a resolution. I would never follow through. But it's so good for your body--especially your skin. I usually end up with 6 cups of water a day. 8 is a struggle though.
