I am doing great! Did my workout today... This is my last week of this video then next week I move on. I feel like I am able to to it with more ease, though it is still pretty tough. I have not had a chance to measure myself though because my studies have been taking up most of my time :P Sounds like you ladies are doing great though... keep up the good work!

I am actually from the mid-west but I went to school in southern Cali and lived in Newport Beach. I had to commute to LA though for a job :( It was a great experience but now I am back in Illinois.

boy - the LA commute is CRAZY! but at least it's not Washington DC. I have never in my life been in traffic like there is in DC.

So this week has been NUTS with work. I have been mostly on plan, so it will be easy to transition into the weekend of fitness and eating well!

Hi all:)

I'm glad that I'm getting into exercising - I know it's weird but before I managed to keep up for like 3 days and make excuses to not do it and eventually stop.

I do have killer cravings, I'm trying not to be hungry by eating all the south beach stuff but I do miss bread a LOT, and once you start noticing there is sugar added to everything you like:) But I hope this time I will succeed. It's fun to read you guys talking about everyday stuff like traffic in LA or something. I'm studying American culture but I've never been to the States, so my whole knowledge comes from books, films and TV shows:) I'm planning to take a big trip after graduation, so my whole degree won't be based on academic texts:)

I've managed to exercise every day this week but one. I think tomorrow I'm going to kick it up a notch, and instead of chilling out on Sunday like normal I'll exercise, even if it's something not-so-hardcore.

I like my weight-loss to be quick -- I won't be satisfied unless I lose 10-15 pounds in a month. Maybe it's a quicker rate than most people would advocate, but I'm determined to lose it all and keep it off.

girlinterupted, where in the US would you like to visit? I live in Europe but I also lived in America and there are some cool places to visit. I hope you are enjoying your university classes. I hope this doesn't sound weird to say, but you have really good English. :)

Girl - good for you with exercise. I know it doesn't come naturally to me, and it felt great when I finally accepted it and got into a routine. Where are you taking your trip?

so i worked out with my resistance bands this morning - 10 minutes. That's a good start, but I don't feel like it's long enough. I'm going to research some routines so I can be more on target.

Also, I think I'm going to start Gillian's 30 day shred. I need to boost my commitment to exercise - I think this is a good way to start.

Today's goal: be on plan!

dcapulet: I would definitely work out with the resistance bands a lil longer. They definitely do work your muscles out and u can really feel the burn.

sarcruze - i feel the same way. i've being doing the 10 minutes for about a week, because I didn't want to do nothing. I'm looking up some routines that are about 25-30 min. If you know any, I'd love some suggestions :)

hi ladies!

So i made it today - 17 miles on my bike. It was a good ride, and good day overall. Plus, I got some farmer's market goodies, so i got veggies for this week :)

Hi all:)

I had a challenging week, my Internet connection went down and they took their time to fix it. But it made me realize that I spend way to much time in front of the computer:) so I worked-out more are took walks, went out with my friends and even had a drink, but just the one;) on Monday my scale showed 5 pounds less:)

I forgot all about this. Glad I found It. I need to get busy.

So Far, I really haven't been exercising that much this past week. I've been going through some emotional stuff and its been taking its toll on me. I just need to get my arse to the gym cos it helps relieve my stress and pain. Besides not going to the gym, I've still been eating healthy. YAY!! for that.
