i don't know about ya, but i'm determined this year to get my body is shape for the summer.. I've been running 6 miles a day with my miniture dashund b/c he needs to calm all his excitement down (he's 1 y/o) and i need to burn some calories (killing two birds with one stone).. I can't be having all this banging hair and not have a banging body to go along with it.. I've paid all this money for the surgery i had so its important to maintain my investment..
 
Not to mention since i had that blood clot incident, i wasn't allow to eat certain things like anything green, which put salads out.. now i've not been back to my regular weight since i've recovered.. now i'm determined to get it all back in top shape.. and those considering PS need to think along these terms, b/c its an expensive investment that it must be kept up..just b/c you get PS doesn't mean its over, you gotta keep your investment in shape..
 
so i'm just saying let's support each other in our diets and exercise routines to get it together and be totally fierce from hair to toes.. so who's up for the challenge? i've decided instead of sitting my butt behind this computer i'm going to be working it out! so if i'm not on as much that's why? i'd like to see us support each other and get a LF Diva's body challenge going on to be the hottest diva's we already know we are for summer 2008.. who's on board?

i'm serious i 'm like a size 8 which isn't bad, but when your clothes are a size 6 and 4 its a problem.. plus i gave away my fat clothes LOL so its for real now.. i forgot to say i'm doing 45 min of pilates and toning with weights alternating days, and i'm eating low carbs.. i've also been doing the http://www.nopalina-nopalina.com/ which i mix with oatmeal b/c i can't drink it straight but it keeps my cholestrol and everything in check and keeps you very regular.. not like laxative's but it flushes your body out!!!!! i love that b/c it makes my tummy very flat.. and it does help you loose weight.. another thing i've been doing that helps with my blood circulation is taking cayenne pepper pills, and it doesn't heat you up on the inside but it does speed up the metabolizism.. and also so does apple cider vinder pills.. sexibeach2008-04-13 18:52:55

drinking nothing but water, i had to let the pepsi go i love it but it terrible for you, so i gotta have my wine so i let that go.. LOL here's information on weight loss and cayenne pepper which is also a great ingredient for promoting hair growth too:

 
cayenne pepper pills:
Helps to soothe the digestive tract.
Promotes better circulation throughout the body.
Contains capsaicin with pain-relieving benefits.
High quality standardized extract.
Doctor approved formulation.
A few studies suggest that chemical compounds in cayenne have the ability to increase the body's heat production, whereby increasing the rate of metabolism of fats and carbohydrates. Additional research also indicates that cayenne increases production of epinephrine and norepinephrine which together decrease appetite. For dieters it has been suggested that adding 6 to 10 grams of cayenne to a meal or 28 grams to an entire day's diet reduces hunger after meals and reduces calories consumed during subsequent meals.
 
Apple Cider Vinegar has been used for ages and has proven itself safe and effective for helping many health issues. This product is so safe, it can be used for children with weight problems and people with high blood pressure and diabetes! Folks there is no excuse now! Lose the fat that is contributing to your health problems. The vinegar is made from fresh natural apples that contain pectin, a soluble fiber which binds to cholesterol globules and pulls them out of the body. This also helps remove unwanted heavy metals! Less fat and cholesterol in the body reduces the risk of just about any ailment! It works 24 hours a day to help your body remove unwanted fat. There are no side effects. We do recommend that you drink 2-3 glasses of extra water daily to help your body flush this fat out and speed up the weight loss process.
 
ACV comes in pills too b/c i can't drink that either

There's no need in me playing head games with myself and saying I'm gonna start running cuz I hate running it ain't gonna happen. HOWEVER, I do love pilates and gymnastics. I also have 2 huge dogs that I need to walk more often so that will help too. I've been eating more protein and less carbs and have dropped almost 10 pounds already. I'm a size 6 but I still wanna drop another 10 pounds so I can comfortably get back into a size 5. I'm with you guys. Now how do we intend to chart our progress? Are we gonna do before and after photos or post our stats (weight, body fat percentage, etc.) ???

Ok, I'm hatin' on you size 5, 6, 7, 8 complaining over here,  Wink I need to lose like 20 lbs by June 27th.  My cousin is getting married in Jamaica and I'm a bridesmaid along with two other women.  The entire bridal party including the bride have sizes in the single digits.  Me on the other hand........... so I'd like to lose 20 lbs, it still wouldn't be my ideal weight but I'd be the weight I was before I had my son, mind you he's about to be 2 in the end of may. Confused I decided to set short-term goals so I don't drive myself crazy over the total number of pounds I need to lose.  Sexi, thanks for sharing some of your tips.  Weight Watchers has worked for me in the past but I'm going to jump start it with a low carb diet for faster results for the wedding.

I've heard of sparkpeople, it was recommended on a bridal board I'm a member of still.

ITA that running is the BEST way to jump start the process and I think I would get faster results but I've always hated it Confused But now there is that little benefit you mentioned about running up on some menzs LOL Okay, here's what Imma do.....I already trained both my dogs how to run on their leashes next to my bike while I ride so I think I'll do that and if I ride up on a real cute guy I could let their leashes get tangled up together so I have to stop and untangle them. Naaaah......never mind that might look a little desperate.

I just got back from a Popeyes run and I immediately get this reality check. Count me in.

I hear what you're saying about taking care of your plastic surgery investment too because I just had a follow-up with my surgeon last week. I'm doing good, but you're right.

Plus I've got Vegas coming up in June and a cruise coming in October. I've got to be ready. I need to tone up a LOT.

I'm on board. It isnt about the number/size - its the body fat... I am about an 8 ( sometimes 10) & def need to tone it up. I started astanga yoga last month & am ready to drag my behind out of bed before work to do pilates starting tomorrow...I try to walk my boxer as much as possible, ride my stationary bike  & for the first time in my life ( sob) am watching what I eat - cut back on chips & candy bars & general "bad foods" & I gave up red meat about  6 mos ago.  I refuse to starve myself tho- I watch my friends & think - OK health & appearance are important - health moreso but life is short, I sister needs to eat. The lollipop head look aint sexy.

that's my thing i don't want to starve and that's what i've done many, many times b4 to keep that size 4, and i don't want to feel deprived and you can have low carbs meals are good.. i've got a restaurant downtown where i work that fix excellent low carb meals that are really delicious so i just need to make sure when i'm home i do right.. but that just takes working out i need to resolve that in my mind b/c i can't have the thighs rubbing with stocking on walking down the hallways b/c that drives me over the edge.. i can't do that! i must be what i'm comfortable being and still eat good meals that are healthy for me..
