Loving my new twice-weekly circuit training sessions, and hoping they'll help towards achieving my 100 lb goal, as my 1st year FS anniversary is less than a month away. Don't really think I'll quite manage the last 13 lbs by then, especially as I'm so much more aware now that losing weight successfully and for the long term is about maintaining health, rather than just pushing for lower numbers on the scale. I'm very against the "Biggest Loser" style of extreme weight loss so I'm trying to stay focused on losing this last bit without costing myself valuable muscle. No point in getting there, after all, if the weight just bounces straight back up again afterwards. Trying really hard to stay focused now though!

Yes yes yes. Staying there is far better than getting there. Especially if it's a happy journey to getting there.

Startrekker, sounds like you are doing similar to me. The trainer I worked with told me to quit doing strength every other day and leave at least 72 hours between. I'm trying Tues and Friday as my strength days and she changed my workout dramatically. I'm liking it. It is also giving me more time for other things besides exercising.

I think strength training is most effective with breaks also. If you wanted to, I think you could get away with doing 4 or 5 out 7 days by alternating upper and lower body work outs. I'm not quite ready/ willing to do that, but I know that's healthful and effective. I'm with you ST about not trying to do it like the people on "Biggest Loser" go about it. Even if that way works and the weight doesn't come back, I think the initial motivation isn't necessarily healthy. Congrats on your progress!

Thank you for such great support, lovely people that you are! I am indeed enjoying it - both the nutrition and the exercise. I've not only adjusted to the idea of getting daily exercise but am finding it one of my favourite parts. Perhaps it's because I was very athletic when I was younger so it makes me feel young again! I do 60-90 mins sessios most days a week but vary them a lot. Just now, it's circuit-training Mon + Thurs (different classes & challenges); jogging/power-walking Fri + Sun; cross-training and weights Wed + Sat; and Pilates on Tues (an easy class as it's my one 'rest' day but I now hate to do nothing at all). With the weather improving now and me getting fitter, I'm hoping to start cycling Sundays and am investigating taking up horse-riding again. Sounds exhausting all this but I've got more energy than ever and, as they say, 'use or lose it'!
