thanks fantasma, thanks jilly, ur right it was a good post
nikegurl, do u mean as a way of making the cheats not mess me up mentally with cravings and give me time to get over them a little bit? that might be a good idea..
NT, while it sounded like a stupid question the reason I asked cuz there ARE people here who get leaner WITHOUT Cardio.. it wasnt that stupid of a question to ask..
Fitgirl! LTNS!
I did 47min cardio, wanted to do an hour but i got too nauseous.

I didn't say it was a stupid question, I just think you know the answer. There are people that lose fat without cardio - Jodie is a big believer in that. What I guess I was questioning was the part after the cardio " ... if their diet isn't very strict". Without watching what you're eating and not doing cardio, chances of losing weight without cardio or going to the gym are slim. Diet is the key to losing weight.
Hi Greeky!!
I think NT was just trying to help....
I do not do any cardio at all, nada, nothing, just lift 4 days a week, BUT I am trying to gain mass, not fat, muscle. I am sorta strict with my diet though, I try to eat High protein, medium carbs and low fat. But again I am not trying to lose weight, so I will eat bagels and chocolate when I feel like it.
I think cardio is essential for you to lose weight, although I think you are gorgeous
and look great just the way you are. Seriously. You are a shapely blonde, lucky b*tch.

hi greeky - on the cardio thing...I do think it helps fat loss quite a bit. (but i also think many people go overboard with it)
in the past - I have dieted and gotten very lean while doing no cardio BUT i was incredbily strict with my diet. i didn't have weekly cheats. i didn't stray from my eating plan and i measured every single thing i ate.
it's possible to drop fat without cardio but you can't expect great results if you don't do cardio and you aren't strict with your eating. personally (even though i HATE cardio) i'd rather do some and be able to eat a few more calories while i cut.

Thanks guys! That's the answers I was looking for. I don't want to completely cut cardio out, but I sometimes feel like I have to do 45mins to an hour 5-6x a week to lose anything (both from past experience and what people say) and the fact is, that is quite a bit of cardio.
I actually got up this morning, got half dressed, and changed again. My body said no cardio til at least you eat something today. I will do some after weights later.
mycat.. what?
Jilly.. Thanks baby girl! I was a little aggravated that I couldnt hold out. I wish this nausea would pass, I guess whatever it was that I got that day I threw up everything still hasn't gone away. At least I am not throwing up anymore tho, that always makes me upset. And yes I am eating clean so far today, and I WILL EAT CLEAN the rest of the day. It's just a matter of staying strong the first few days then it comes easy. I am so unbelievably bloated. YUCK. Oh I just reminded myself to drink water til it feels like my back teeth are floating (from Sapphy lolol)
Thanks NT, like I said, that's what I was wondering about!
Cyndi, seriously.. you are the lucky b*tch! I would kill to have your body! YOU are the lucky one. Damnit!
Nike-I used to measure everything out.. now I only measure out my oats b4 I cook them. I don't want to measure because I know when I get too anal about stuff, it seems to backfire. Right now I think I am ok w/o measuring my meats, but I can eyeball anyway. Like my steak for lunch (big one) was prob 6oz, and DELICIOUS!
My prob isn't clean food portions so much as bad foods, it's the bad foods that are the problem. NO ICE CREAM for me today

i think you're fine not measuring the food - it's just what i had to do to drop fat without cardio. (and i don't think that was the best way for me to do it)
i also think you can do a lot less cardio than 45 minutes 5-6 times a week. have you ever tried HIIT? i think 3 sessions a week would be plenty!

I think the problem you have is that you eat clean all day till night comes aorund. You need to figure out WHY you are sabotaging your day, at the END of the day. There are many things you can do. I think you should read the Dr.phil book already.
Oh, IMO like NT said diet is everything, cardio just helps.

Maybe Ng Thats happened to me before.

no, you cant starve yourself all day just because you know your gonna gorge at night
all that does it make you catabolic during the day, and then at the end of the day you stuff yourself fat by slipping and also your metabolism has slowed down so much its 2x as bad
think about it

am i officially un-adopted
myCAT - you misunderstood me. i was asking if the reason she was eating bad stuff at night could be b/c she wasn't eating enough good food during the day. i wasn't suggesting she cut back on her food during the day and pig out at night. 
I agree Viv..make sure you are eating enough to satisfy you during the day. Maybe add more veggies to help fill you up as well if hunger is an issue.
Are you bored at night? Bordem leads a lot of people to the kitchen in the evenings. Try and find something that you enjoy doing... even if its reading a good book (like nerdy me) .
Im with Hilary on the cardio.. why not cut it back to 3 HIIT sessions instead. You know the switch may even give your body a little shock!

ooooh....i must of read it really weird
Jilly! I wanted one of those today but I got a regular coffee instead..problem is I used half-n-half in it!
Most of the time I eat enough during the day, and actually while binging at night was my only problem in the past, these days it was more of an all day bad eating thing.
My only worry w/ HIIT is that sometimes higher intensity aggravates the damn arches so I tend to stick w. moderate intensity (Damn I miss running!)
Boredom is def a problem, I read this really good tip in a magazine today. It said if you have cravings give yourself a manicure.. your hands will be busy and you cant eat! lol! By the time you are done the cravings should be gone.. at my rate Id always have really nice nails
yes mycat, you're un-adopted
Good news, I ate clean all day and I did chest/tri's and 45mins cardio. Go me!

Thanks Premi! It felt good to get back on track!
Even though I had a fight again today with my mom
She makes me so angry!

Thanks Premi *blushing*
I am very glad too Sapphy!!! It feels a lot better than eating badly, physically and mentally! W/ my mom, I suppose, but I am hoping we work things out BEFORE I get married, since I'll probably be living at home til then!
I went to Barnes and Noble yesterday and reading a bunch of fitness magazines also helped me want to be more active again, I am thinking about possibly starting to do yoga or pilates in the mornings. I still don't have the energy to roll out of bed and do cardio, but that should come soon now that I am actually sleeping, yay.
I am also reading Dr Phil, but it's very slow reading cuz I don't want to miss anything. Jilly when you read it, did you actually write down what he asked or did you just think of the answers in your head??

Viv- my mother and I used to have a VERY bad relationship... its still not the best, as she suffers from depressive streaks a lot and tends to take everything out on me. One thing that Ive learned is that no matter how hurt you are feeling inside or how mad she may make you... you must show your love back even when she doesnt. Dont yell, but learn to compromise, give hugs even if you dont want to or feel that she deserves it, say I love you when she least expects it. Fighting never solved problems so I figured that itd be best to shrug off the bad and aim for the good. It takes much time, much arguing and crying but trust me things will get better. YOU have got to be the strong one! And I know you are. I wish the best with you and your mother hun.
Pilates or yoga is great! Challenging yet it really gets your mind off things and in tune with your body. Even if you have time in the evening when you are bored you could give it a 20-30mins.
Have you ever thought of keeping a journal? For those times that you are upset, or bored.. or craving food.. Sometimes the best things to do are to talk to people.. but thats not always possible so why not write your deepest feelings in a journal? Write down how your feeling and try to figure out why. For example if you have a craving for ice cream... "why do I want this? am I hungry? will this solve my problem? will I feel better after? or will I feel guilt and more anger with myself"
I know it may sound silly but it really works.
