Re: a true test... for me, at least

[Guest guest]

Brennan, It's so discouraging when things like that happen. I get bummed

if I gain a pound and I know it's just water or something. Has anyone else

had a great result from the Night Magic? I haven't ventured into any of the

other products yet. Just the LL first tape. This is my second day doing the

breathing and I have to say that I feel more energetic than usual. All these

things take time and I just hate that too. Ah well, I will not give in.

Hey Brennen!

I think Bonnie had some really great observations/ideas about the

whole inch-loss thing. I agree with her assessment that raw

measurements don't tell the whole story. You and I did start with

the products and LL about the same time...and while I think I've only

lost about 1/2 inch on each thigh so far (nothing on the waist or

hips...grr), I definitely see a difference in the amount of belly fat

I have. While I don't really have a big protruding stomach, I have

noticed in the past year that I have a layer of " pudge " that was

never there before (sort of snuck up on me...@$(*!). Since starting

the LL and using the seaweed soap and Night Magic, I don't see as

much flab as before...skin is definitely firmer, too. I really think

massaging with the seaweed soap helps a lot...I've been reading

lately about how women have used seaweed for hundreds of years as a

beauty aid, and I do think it works!

I know there are lots of ladies here who do just LL and the pounds

and inches come off, but at least for now (while I'm still

in " reducing " mode) I'm finding the need to combine with other

exercises. I know you've been doing Callanetics...me too, and I love

it! It's definitely my favorite thing I do, next to LL...so once I'm

at my goal, I'd like to do mainly LL and Callanetics, with other

things (Pilates, Tae-Bo, etc.) thrown in just to keep me from getting

bored (which I do all too easily...lol). OH...and the elliptical

trainer is great (we have one here at my appt. complex gym). I used

to run, but stopped for a variety of reasons...and I actually feel

like I work harder on the elliptical than I did running (and without

the stress on the knees).

Anyhoo...sorry to go on and on! But I just wanted you to know that

you are still on the right track, and you WILL get to where you want

to be. I totally know how you feel, though...sometimes I feel like

my body is just holding onto my fat for dear life! But I'm

determined to keep going this time, and not stop short of the goal

like I have in the past. Let's keep each other motivated...okay?? : )

Big hugs to you!

Dear Brennen, I am so gald you are not getting discouraged. Just keep it up

honey and you WILL see success! Are you doing the original video? Keep

breathing! Connie

[Guest guest]

Hi Connie,

I started with the original video, to get the breath

down good, and now I just do my LL in the car on the

way to work, lunch, and home. Maybe I need to start

doing an actual workout. I have the commuter CD, but

my cd player in my car is (STILL) not working.

Thanks for your support, as always.

I've been reading all the posts but just have been preoccupied with real

life lately... Everyone has given great advise and information!!! Aren't they

wonderful!

Brennen, I would recommend doing the workouts with the breaths.. Alone is

fine, but adding the movements, IMO, and anyone feel free to correct me, the

stretches, movements, whatever you want to call them, will help with inch lose

by helping to get the oxygen to those areas... Like I said, I may be

understanding this wrong, but that's the way I learned it years ago, when I

first

discovered aerobic breathing...

Plus, just stretching will help limber you up and firm you up.. So add

oxygen to that and...!!!

Hugs,

Kiki
