| I think I fit into this group too - stupid pouch. I don't think there is any way to get rid of it though. maybe make it smaller, but not get rid of it. I think you have to get used to it. you can try naming it like I do - my pouch's name is buddah. even when i was 125lbs buddah was still with me, but then it was more like mini-me buddah. anyway, 140lb me wants mini-me buddah back, but isn't feeling very motivated. at least buddah keeps my six-pack warm, right? if you guys come up with a solution to this let me know. running is out for me, my body doesn't like it. I have a couple videos, but I find when I am at home there is always something that needs to get accomplished, so working out doesn't seem to happen. My main workout has just been my field work, and dog walking. Oh well, at least Buddah is happy and prospering. Jules, you should be careful about running if your knees are bothering you. Make sure you get really good shoes.

Make sure you get really good shoes. It would be more like speed walking than anything else.. and that feels pretty good on the knees... but thank you for your concern.. very sweet of you.. the pouch.. well... in MISC.. Fascha posted a solution... check it out.. it's in the Laurel!! thread.

cearnaidh, don't mention peanut butter cups! I freakin love them...and have you had the PB balls? Oh they are so addictive. I haven't had them in a long time because I will eat almost the whole bag. I have really been cutting back on the chocolate that I eat, since it's my worst enemy.
Jules, I guess atleast you are not alone! I think the worst part about trying to lose weight/tone up is that it takes SOOOOO long. Instant results would be much more gratifying. It is so easy to give up when you don't think you are getting anywhere..I am a good example of that! I hope we can all stick with it!
And yes, model is on tonight and I'll be watching too!!

I know a few people in the Running Room group runs and they love it. They say it's a great clinic that will really get you motivated. My chocolate addiction is my motivation for working out. lol!

| Well, since you mentioned that you sit at work, and then again at home at night, I'm thinking that by adding in a little exercise, and of course re-assessing your food intake may help. Since the weather is much nicer, you could start going for evening walks. Ask your FH to come. It's a nice chance to catch up on each other's days, plus you get the added benefits of exercise. You can also join a gym or The Running Room (as others have suggested-great idea by the way! I've heard about those Learn to Run courses. I'm sure that would help). And if your FH won't do anything...get yourself an Ipod or some MP3 player or discman and get some good music to motivate you and go yourself! I love working out alone. I use it as "Me Time" where I can reflect and just be alone with myself. I love it and look forward to it at the end of my days. I miss it when I don't do it. I'm sure once you get yourself on some exercise schedule, you will feel the same. It may be tough to get yourself going at the start, but once you do (and especially when you see some results), you'll be hooked!! Best of luck!

Ugh the 'pouch' bugs me too. I had a cesarean 3 years ago, and now I just can't get rid of it. There are tucks that will never go away. I hate that. I was never small either, but jeez, give me a break! And chocolate is how I get through my day...UGH! i know how you ladies feel!

Well.. this week hasn't been kind to me.. it's been the week from weight hell.. I'm going to start a 'diet' next week.. going to experiment a bit - but I walk home from work everyday with FH, so I'm glad I have that, and I've stopped eating after 8 since I go to bed around 11.. I'm going to start working out again starting next week. I'll probably do something tonight actually since FH is at work late and other than laundry it will give me something to do!
