The Eowyn Challenge

I know several of you on my flist are doing WW and are trying to get healthier through exercise or diet and exercise. I am too, but the thing for me is it has to be fun or I'll eventually stop doing it, so I go around looking for fun ways to exercise.

I've been hitting the exercise bike in the morning because it is my most available time, but it ( Read more... )

WW was the only thing that worked well for me. Seriously. I pooh-poohed it for years and finally, I promised someone that I'd try it. I really didn't want to. But it worked and I lost 25 POUNDS!! It was actually quite easy. Granted, I HAVE gained back 10 of those pounds but that's my fault, I'm not on WW anymore, I got lazy. It's easy but... I'm apathetic at this point. I just need to stick with it. Right now, I just don't give a crap.

Exercise has been a hard thing for me to stick with. For almost a whole year, I walked 30-45 mins a day and then did crunches, etc for about 15 mins. Another routine was Dance Dance Revolution on Playstation 2. I DO like that, it's fun but the kids fight to play too and I don't get a full straight 30 minutes of cardio in when they are all clamoring for a turn. Heh. I've also been trying to get into yoga because most everyone who gets into it loves it and they don't want to quit.

Those walks sound awesome, though!

Why don't you give it a shot and join the yahoo group? You get to pick your destinations.

I did WW for a while. It worked really well, but when I started weight lifting again, the amount of protien I was eating blew the point system apart. Now I just watch what I eat and eat in moderation.

I did WW as well and did well with it (lost 20 lbs). I really need to kick myself back into following the points again. I *know* how to do it, I just lack the motivation. But I love WTR! And it's kept me moving for well over a year now, so that's some sort of record for me.
