Well I was doing good but then slacked off for a couple days and gained some back and looks like there is another challenge... I'll join again.

I ate some pizza this weekend so I went up a bit--grrr

SW--213.0

I have a good feeling I'll be there in the next day or so. Adding more lifting sessions into my exercise regime has gotten my weight moving again. The cardio may have been too much. Yay for dummies lifting heavy dumbbells!

Photochick - What is our DEAL??

FB - Tell us more. What did you change that you are seeing results? These 160's are killing me and I'm about to try anything to get under that 160 mark!

JamieJo - I've been focusing waywayway more on cardio lately than weights. In the past month my weight was stuck and correspondingly I was only weight training once a week, feeling lazy, trainer being busy, blah.

I upped my strength training last week back to 3 times, where I'm usually at, and the weight came off with surprising ease. I still did my cardio at 6 days - as usual - but I strongly feel that the weights were the contributing factor as nothing else changed.

In all likelihood it's just the extra calories I burned - but still - I really think weights help me, especially because your body tends to keep burning after a weights session whereas with cardio you don't get that afterburn. I guess it just refueled the fire. I dunno. I surely wish I could figure out the f$%# mystery that my body is! I'd be a rich mad scientist!

I know it sucks to be stuck, gawd does it suck! The important thing is just to trudge on - what you're doing. The 150's will be there soon, you've been bouncing right on the very edge (which has to make it 21756531746 times more frustrating).

What do you do for cardio and for weights?

Heya Jamie...

Cardio varies - mostly at the gym lately (I've had too many near misses with creeps on the bike trail lately). So elliptical, stairmaster, stairmill and rowing for the most part. I make a rule for myself of 45 minutes minimum, but often go over.

Weights - I also do this at the gym. I mostly work with free weights and hit various body parts on no set schedule, I usually aim for 3x per week - but I've been a lazy girl this past month. Thursday was lower body, yesterday was biceps, today will likely be back and shoulders with the trainer. These sessions, with my trainer or by myself generally take an hour or less. I tend to lift heavy, between 4-12 reps (depending) for several sets.

I'm not sure exactly what information you'd like on weights - but am totally happy to share whatever I know, do. So just ask!

If you'd like more information on particular moves with the weights I think bodybuilding.com has a fabulous library...

Weights rock my world! I used to be scared I'd bulk up all crazy by lifting so heavy- I was a fool! Not only is it a great workout, my body is becoming ultra-sleek and sexy, I'm smaller than I ever was weighing 20 pounds less. By doing something that's so stereotypically masculine I'm becoming more feminine looking that I ever have.

I don't go to a gym. I have a treadmill and weight bench at home. Since I started 3FC I've been doing the C25K program. Today is day one of week 5. But I usually do what is required for the program and then stay on the treadmil until at least 45 mins. I have 8 pound weights where I do little curls and the arm behind the back deal while continuing to walk at about 3.5MPH. 3 sets of each, but that is about it for my working out (which is a lot more then I used to do!) Then I do a 10 incline for as long as I can go. BUT I haven't had any real weight loss yet and am getting pretty frustrated. I know I need to do better on food but am doing much better then I was before I started 3FC.

Thanks for the website! I'm going to check it out!
