[pookiee_x]

hey guys, so i started working out at the gym lately (everyday), i never workout, its my first time. sometimes when i run for 15 min i only get about 100 calories burn... bu i sweat like hell and when i run for about 30 mins. i burn like 200... and the same ffor the stationary bike and elliptical. So my main question is.... does the calories really matter? or its the overall "workout experience" - working out? im hoping to lose weight... so far its good - im sticking to it.. well its only the 4th day.

hey guys. i just finished my first year of college and totally didn't watch what i did. i didn't gain freshman 15, but whatever i did.. it wasn't healthy. i'm going to try to be healthy from now on~. i wasn't planning on posting here, but i just picked up a book to help me get healthy, and it says its good to have a support from a person or a group, so here i am~!

the book i'm reading has a lot of good tips and stuff, just started reading today. if you guys want, i can post some good tips i read about everyday :]
a lot of you guys are working on loosing weight but the book is telling me to work on the size of your waist instead. so i'm going to go with that when i post stuff.

lets all be healthy this summer ^__^v

Is it bad to eat after exercising? If so, how long should you wait before eating?

[bawk]

^yeah im wondering that too cuz i always get hungry rite after lol

[Brusky]

Is it bad to eat after exercising? If so, how long should you wait before eating?

immediately after, have a small snack that's rich in carbs to replenish your muscle-glycogen levels. about an hour or so later, have a meal with lean proteins as well as complex carbs.

Yea i really want to lose weight this summer as well...it's half over but I've only lost about 10 lbs...in a week. That was about two weeks ago - after I lost the 10 lbs..somehow i went out a lot and stopped that diet regimen so now I'm gaining it slowly back....but still at 10 lbs because I lost a little bit more after that for some reason.

I went back on my diet today and didn't go out for food or eat any junk but still I have to exercise again, trying to get up early to jog because it's too hot to do it later in the day.

[reor susie]

does anyone live in the south pasadena/eagle rock area in los angeles? i gained so much weight this summer coming home and going to summer school! surprisingly during my freshman year i didn't gain any weight, but i'm gaining weight at home! thats just horrible.

if anyone lives in the areas mentioned above and wants to work out (run at the rosebowl) let me know! i don't mind meeting new people and having a little motivation ^__^

omg I love this thread I totally need a losing weight buddy. After my breakup with my bf 2 weeks ago, I've decided to undergo a total body transformation. HAH make that basturd regret what he did

anyways, I have been "dieting" for the past 2 weeks but my uncle's family came last week so that kinda messed things up. I lost 8lbs the first week..but I've gained back 3

my regimen:
smaller portions
eating more fruit
run 1 mile in the morning
run 3 miles in the afternoon/evening
minor pilates/yoga, squats, weight training (arms)
WATERWATERWATER

but uh..I think my excessive exercising is kinda backfiring on me..so I only run once a day now.

btw, my 777th post on 7.07.07
