I would, but GC doesn't allow attachments. I will find the disk and see what I can do.

how do yall fit in going to the gym around work? i dont get home until late (after 9pm) and going on the weekends doesnt seem like enough.

What time do you have to be at work? If possible try and work it in before your day starts, and then kick it in on the weekend as well. I know my gym opens at 6am during the week, and I went once early in the morning because I wanted to workout before I went to the hairdresser and there was a class that started at 6am, and people were there that I had no idea got there that early in the morning. Also I know that at work some people go during their lunch hour.

I've lost an additional three pounds. I am extremely excited about the weight loss so far. This week, I'm committing to working out five days a week for 30 minutes. That's going to be my start. I plan on working out prior to going to work. My hair is natural so I don't have to worry about spending too much time on my hair after working out. Let's do this!

i have to be to work at 8am. my commute is 2.5 hrs.
my gym hours are 6am-11pm. i get home around 8:30. i am absolutely pooped when i get in.

on a sad note, ever since i joined the gym, ive been eating more crap, but now i think about everything i eat. i cant wait to be at a point where i can comfortably say "nope, i dont want this donut." or "i WANT to go to the gym today.

You will get there tld221.

I'm actually proud of myself. I've resisted so much since I've started WW this time around. I know that I committed to working out five days a week, but so far I've only done three. I'm not beating myself up though because I know that it's better than what I did last week. You have to make baby steps.

BTW, one of my favorite little healthy snacks are Quakes Rice Snacks! Those things are the bomb and they're between 1 to 2 pts per serving. I feel like I'm eating chips when I eat them.

What are some of you guy's healthy eating snacks?

Let's keep up the great work. I'm getting my sexy swagger back!

The Quakes Rice Snacks are good, especially the cheese flavored ones! OMG!

Some other snacks I enjoy are Special K bars, Baked Lays chips, baby carrots and yes, Doritos (portioned right).

First of all, congrats to you on your weight loss so far.

As far as snacks, I like to snack on no suger added fudge pops, low-fat cottage cheese mixed with mandarin oranges, nuts, or Lays WOW brand doritos or chips.

And btw I have lost a total of 34 pounds since the end of June!

I have **coughsixtycoughcough** more pounds left to lose.

That was my problem. It was as if my body wanted to compensate for the lost calories by filling me with more of them!!

Now, I just snack on fruit and veggies. I buy them in bulk, and that is what I eat when I feel the urge to "fill up". In fact, I just purchased another bag of frozen fruit yesterday.
