That's a given!!!
 
Jill ... that's the couple Trisha is going to see Friday. I'm not sure she's aware of the program though ... I will let her know

That's pretty awesome. I'm gonna go peruse that site again!!
 
Shes going to see Donna and Brian? My girlfriend was about 165, and lost 40-55 pounds on their program-her first 2 shows. (her pics on their, but its real distorted) I just saw her a few months ago, she gained it all back.:(
 
What's her name Jill and where are her pics?
 
Sabrina-before and after pics in the testimonials. She occasionally works out at club fit ss NT.
 
I don't know if you've tried this, but I absolutely loved going to a PT, I wish I could continue to do so. Maybe Mrs. NT would get back the motivation if she had a standard appointment. I knew I couldn't miss, even though I had to leave work early and juggle the kids, so I made the best of the time I had with her.
In the 3 months I went to her I lost 18lbs, I was following one of the diets I found on this forum.
In my case it's been harder to lose the weight and it seems to come on quicker as I've gotten older.
Just some unsoliciated advice. She'll do it when she's ready, all you can do is keep suggesting ideas and be supportive.
Good Luck

Yep ... interesting ... did your friend say how she thinks gained it all back? Did she stop working out? Trisha is well aware that this is a lifestyel change and not a quick fix. I have told her that the gym should remain a constant,but once she's where she'd like to be, the diet can be loosened a tiny bit (meaning the cheat days can be moderated)

Which lady is she? They don't provide names. I can't really see the pics that well.
 
Thanks Momma ... :) I really believe she's ready, but she must become committed to attaining her goals. In the 5 weeks she's been going to the gym, she might miss a day or two a week. It's those days I'm telling her might make the difference between attaining her goal and failing. I'm not pro but do know that those who put forth a 100% effort are the ones that will succeed. I think she needs to make the gym a high priority. There is nothing that we do that might interfere with that.

That is absolutely true Momma......I absolutely love my PT. He's pretty wonderful and the motivation he provides makes me wish I'd done it sooner.

I'm the same way, no matter what is going on, I know I can't miss my regular appts with him.
 
If she's only missing one or two days a week, that's not bad. I think I'm missing about one or two days a week too. The thing she has to realize is that on the days that she misses, she realizes that tomorrow she must go back to the gym. The days she misses cannot be the "failure" of that routine. Those days must be rest and recoup days -- AND THAT'S ALL
 
Hey NT, how're things going?

Motivating the Mrs to give the gym 100%? Good to hear... thats kinda how Jenny is with me and its great :)
 
Jill ... did Sabrina just have them tailor her diet or did she have them plan her workouts as well?
 
She has a day that we have designated as a rest day. Missing 1/2 workouts a week can add up to quite a bit. I guess my biggest disappointment (not that it matters) is that there is no real valid reason to miss them.

Hey Eggs ... I do only what she allows me to do. At one time tried very hard to get her to go, but she was only going because I more or less nagged her into going. This last time I believe she's doing it for herself. I have to be careful not to push to hard otherwise she'll start to rebel and will quite. As I've said before, I'd be disappointed, but more important is that she would be unhappy with herself. It's a balancing act that can get tricky sometimes.
 
Sab and I lost touch a few years ago-she goes to my nail tech, so I always here how she is doing. She has ALWAYS worked out, ran, cardio, weight trained. They gave her a strict diet plan, but helped a little on the workouts. The whole thing was apperantly really emotional fat-skinny-fat -skinny, and now fat again. I guess it fucked with her metabolsim, and her emotional state tremendously. I think some peoples weight are sort of set. I think that she could have probably maintained the weight loss, but eating about 1000 cals a day, which is unrealistic!
 
So she went to the extreme ... I know for a fact that Trisha won't go for that. She's looking for a moderate diet that will allow her to eat somewhat normal once she's reached her ideal weight without having to endure the extreme weight loss diets.
 
FG ... the missus isn't really a forum type.
 
Ahhhh, well you're imparting the information to her,yes? That is all that matters. I know you love her and sooner or later, it will come down to her realizing that "Enough is Enough". We all get there. Sooner or later.

Thats like me. Im not gonna give up everything, and be miserable. I think most things are ok IN MODERATION! I refuse to let food control my life-know what I mean???? Let me know how it works, I might consider going to see them too!
 
Will do - and I think she would probably agree. Although she's gotten rid of most of the junk foods, so I don't think it will be a big change ... just a more devoted effort.
 
NT, is there any way you two can go together, so you can help motivate her?
 
PreMier ... we usually do go, but I don't press the issue when she says she's not going. All I ask if "are you going to the gym tonight" If she says yes, we go together, if she declines, I go by myself.
 
Hey! As for the post in my journal, usually working out on no carb days is not that bad-except for yesterday. I was a weak little cry baby! I dont know why, but I got frusterated not making the lifts i wanted to, and was almost in tears. Today is my rest day. Have a super one NT! The fog is wicked crazy this am!

thought #31

reading David's journal about how busy his life seems to be, makes me remember the ole days when I was a busy. I think that sometimes I miss that activity. I remember when I was working in the warehouse. I'd run in the mornings, work hard during the day, go to boxing/martial arts/work out right after work, then depending on the day, the roommate and I would go out for a few drinks. I enjoyed the whole day. Now, there is no morning running, I work on a cubicle in front of a computer all day. :( I do still workout after work and on Wednesdays, I manage to get out to shoot pool - but that's it. And we do go out every second or third weekend. But I'm a guy who needs constant stimulation. Maybe it's the winter weather that kills the activites during the week. I don't know. I just sometimes long for the busy days.

When the time comes to retire, I think I will drive myself and the wife crazy if there is not something to do everyday. I can't see myself sitting on a porch all day doing. :lol: I have a hard time dealing with long weekends if there is nothing to do. Some say, just sleep in, rest and lounge around. Tried that ... me sleeping in means sleeping till 9am ... I can eat and do the morning housecleaning till about 11:30 ... then the need to do something sets in. I have tried watching tv for a while ... but it's Saturday I keep thinking to myself.

note to self time to make a change ... not sure when or what, but it's time to get back to being busy ... active ...
