New Year, New me(i hope) - Motorola Q Forum

Okay ya'll. My mother decided that she didn't want to bury one of her children so that means that (according to her) I need to get into better shape.
I lost weight before working out with videos from The Firm. So I got on there site and ordered the newest version and my goodness, those women have waaaayyyyy to much energy!

I haven't actually started working out just sat and watched them tonight. (go figure) But I plan on starting this Sunday.

Anyone else out there trying to shed some pounds and get healthier? I know I can do it because in 2003 I lost 75 lbs working out and watching what I ate. But after the weight dropped and the compliments started rolling in I got complacent. Haven't gained it all back but don't want to go any further.

So wish me luck, about to take the plunge again. I plan on being able to don a sexy swimsuit this summer for my 42nd birthday!

Thanks, hockey for the support!! I know once it becomes routine it won't be so bad, it's just the getting started part that I am dreading.

thanks mike! How is your wife doing with her workout?
They do have an awful lot of energy and I don't (therein lies the problem).

Thanks, i'll definitely keep you posted on the progress. Dreading taking some before pictures and those are for my eyes only. If (when) I lose the weight I won't mind the after pictures though!!

Been there THR! and back and then there again. I wont give digits but a few years back I did the same. I can stand to lose more than a few.

I like body building that is my thing...Im not much on videos They dont hold my attention. I think for me there is a sensory thing going on and pushing weight helps. Plus having additional muscle helps the pounds drop. Maybe some day i will share some old fotos. No I cant and wont get buff like a dude...lol.

Go for it THR! you have support here!

I recently stumbled across a pic of me from 15 years ago. Back when I was in really good shape. Boy, do I miss looking like that. So, with the new year and this old pic, I'm really saddened by my current physical shape.

If you need energy, try Spike Shooter from GNC. I've gone the redbull, Wired, Rockstart, Redbull + No-Doz route, and nothing works like Spike. You've got no choice but to get moving. I feel like I'll explode if I sit still.

Anyways, THR, good luck! It's a rough ride, but worth it. Of course, I can't say that, as I've never really take that fork in the road. Forks lead me to a Chinese Buffet

I'll join you! Had major surgery last year and I just fell out of the habit of setting some time to get some exercise in. Right now I'm trying to wean myself off of diet coke (I get addicted to caffeine so easily. You would think I would have learned by now, wouldn't you). It's a big no-no when you want to loose weight.
Good luck in your quest! I'll join your cheering section!
