[working out]

Hi all,
I just came across this site by accident as I was looking for weight loss strategies. I'm a 26 y/o female trying to lose 1 dress size (~15 lbs).

I've been working out for one month now (I already posted a concern in another category under exercise) but I just thought I'd write a little something here.

It's great to have a site like this with others working hard to lose weight, too! It will definitely keep me motivated.

Good luck, everyone!

Hello Amanda,

Yeah, I stumbled on over here too, and it's my new online community. It seems like a fantastic site, and the people are just super.

Are you going to start one of those nifty diaries? It seems to be a great way to stay on track. But then again, I just started mine, so what do I know

What kind of workouts are you doing?

Chris

Hi there Amanda and Chris

I joined up yesterday and I plan to be as active on this board as I possibly can - that way, new replies to posts popping into my inbox makes it too hard to ignore all of my good intentions and healthy weight goals!

See you around, Tammie

Hi Chris,

I've started a work-out diary, but I haven't started a food diary, which I definitely need to do. I joined the gym about a month ago and ever since then I've been a regular member!

So far my workouts involve:
- 3-4 days/week of weight machines (alternating upper and lower body)
- 4 days/week, 1hr, elliptical machine
- 3 days/week of tennis or walking around the lake (2.75miles)
- Just started Pilates 2x/week for a little changeup

My eating habits are still something I need to work on. It's definitely not helping me lose any lbs! I eat out about 1 meal a day and I love Thai food! I just try to eat smaller portions, to cut back the calories. It's really hard to count calories, however, at a restaurant!

How about you? What do you do to workout and what is your diet like?
