I am not quite ready to give up food as a deterant, but once I can let go, I'll join you.

Woot for you bearz! :wavet: One health goal at a time my friend. I would say to stop smoking is way WAY harder than losing weight. So you have my full respect for going cold turkey and quitting that habit. :flwr: I think you should take all that money your saving and go on a nice nice vacation. :tan: :surf: Congrats bearz for you high resolve to quit! Good for you. And you can join me any time you like. :bighug:

Ant bravo on you starting to run :clap1: Wish I could say the same. Don't really want to go running with my 2 year old screaming her little head off everywhere. :hmm: But I have been thinking about going running lately. As Ant said if there is someone out there with some Tips, give them up! :thumb:
And bearz, I am very proud of you with you being smoke free for 22 day! :bow2: :clapping: I have been meaning to say something. :)
Good Luck with everyone's Goals! :weight: :muscles:

Thanks fantasy for the encouragement! :hug: I understand about having your two year old along and trying to run. Running takes all my concentration right now. I have my IPOD to listen to and only have "pumped up" music on it. :weight: No downer songs if you know what I mean. :lolg:
When my daughter was little I used fitness videos to keep in shape. I bought some I really liked and while she was napping, I turned on the TV and got moving. :dancegirls: :dancegirl: You could invest in a nice running stroller too. I know they are expensive, but if you are serious about starting the run, they are worth it. Try shopping at yard sales for the running strollers to get them cheaper. Your two year old just might like the ride with the wind in her face. :hypno:
And you don't have to go far, just a 10 minute run can do wonders for your lungs. The first time I ran, I had asthma really bad, but now its a lot easier, so I am improving. Let me know what you decide to do, I am :cheerleader: for you.

I always wondered about if those work out at home video things worked. I was always skepical. Everytime I watch TV and see the Paid Programs for the work out type videos they always draw me in and I want to buy them, but then I think what if they don't work... I'll just be wasting money.
So my question is what videos did you use? And did they work? Also which type of work out videos work the best for weight lose? ( these are for anyone who have also tried the videos.)
Oh and I also wanted to know where (as in the internet) can I find some recipes for some healthier cooking? Some tasty food. ;)

I have no idea how to do that ticker thing but I'm on! She talked about being an athlete as a kid and a young woman and that was totally me. My wedding dress was a size 8 , and I'm not even going to tell what size I'm now. (24) :ahh: (omg did I say that) :blush: anyway here goes nothing. I'm pumped!!!

Look here in the new "Cooking, Dining & Recipes" Board. Google is a good source too.:rum:
