God, this is slow!!!

I remember my twenty year old niece saying, after having done it 'it's hard to lose 25 lbs'. And at the time, approaching 30.

I've started doing the treadmill. It's set up in Km, kg, so I'm not quite sure what I did as far a workout.

I know I did 20 min of cardio keeping the hr up at 134 and the fat burning program at 30 min hr 111.

One way I know I enjoy the treadmill is to have the music and literally dance on it. I do it with the steps, letting the carpet roll under my feet and then stepping back up to the beat, and then letting it roll. I'd fling my arms. But I'm really too embarrassed to start doing this at a gym. But doing it that way, I actually have fun.

Maybe that's really what I need to do. To do this and not care what strangers think. I think it would be good for my personal development, to get to the point where I wouldn't care what strangers think. The thing is, I'll probably be able to do the dancing on the treadmill, but I'll also be self-conscious while doing it, which is not the same as doing it and not caring.

I don't know how you get to reach a point to just not care what others think, that you're not conforming... Any ideas?

ATF: WW was easier for me to count points instead of calories. I know that if I really want to give my weight loss a significant boost, I need to cut down on the fruit. Summer will be over soon, so will the fruit sales and the hot bothersome temperature. I need to tweak the diet, to do better. I did stay in my points limit this week even if I didn't record it on this site. I recorded in a little book.

Congrats on the weight loss Monique. We didn't get fat overnight so yes, weight loss is also a slow process. Our bodies just want to stay the same weight. We CAN do this if we just stay persistent :-)

Nice weight loss! Good for you in flinging your arms and having fun with your workout! We can do that at home, but maybe not in the gym. Someone rude person might film you and put it on youtube. :sigh:

Hoping you can get a treadmill at home some day. Some gyms have a Zumba class. I don't belong to a gym, so I have watched a Zumba video from youtube and try to do what they do. :)
