Guest guest Posted June 24, 1999 Report Share Posted June 24, 1999 >Barb >who is amazed how many folks sub to this list and unsub from it soon after & >wonders why they subbed in the first place?? Barb, I was also amazed at how many people actually belong to the list, but never post. There must be a ton of lurkers out there. But, I can't imagine reading all these great messages and not responding. Hopefully, some of them will de-lurk and decide to join our little " family " . , who loves being a part of this group and meeting such wonderful people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 30, 1999 Report Share Posted November 30, 1999 Barb, Elena and Janick--Thank you for the warm welcome! I am excited about being a part of this. Hopefully I will get the hang of things after a while. You asked for a little more about me, I wasn't exactly sure if I needed to put that info here but in any case... my name is Jenni, I'm 25, been doing Taebo since September 4. I have lost about 20 lbs since. I only have the first 4 studio tapes and I rotate using the advanced and the basic 5-6 times a week. I can already tell that you guys are a great group!! Thanks for welcoming me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenni >> Dear Jenni, I would like to say hello and welcome. This group is my lifeline to staying motivated. I have been doing taebo for the same amount of time as you and have lost 20.5 pounds, and lots of inches. I do the studio basic every day, and was going to start adding some of the advanced floor exercises on Monday, but I have been so busy that I missed two days of working out. It upsets me very much when that happens. Hopefully tomorrow I can get back in my routine again. I think you will enjoy being a part of this group. The topics can be very diverse and interesting. And the people are very real and warm, not to mention funny. There appears to be a large number of animal lovers in this group. I have always thought that you can tell a lot about a person's heart by the way they treat animals. I have to brag. I ate whatever I wanted on Thanksgiving, and then 2 days later I went out to Ponderosa with my daughter. I had sirloin tips and French fries, in addition to food from the buffet, including cheesecake. This morning I got on the scales and held my breath. I truly expected to see a gain of a couple of pounds. But I had lost 2.5 pounds instead. So I feel on top of the world today! Barb, my money is on you, but I think your husband is adorable for rising to the challenge. ;o) Sharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're an inspiration to us all. Elena >> Thank you Elena. My biggest hope is that the next 3 months will bring the same results. One of the greatest things about Taebo is that, I may have lost 20 pounds, but it looks like 40. My husband says it is extremely noticeable. He is very fit, and has always taken good care of himself. He has been lifting weights for several years now, and looks more like a 30 year old man, than a 40 year old. He is immensely pleased that I am so dedicated to this. I have gotten more attention in the last three months than I have since we were first dating. My husband is so very attentive since I have been doing taebo, which is another benefit that I haven't heard anyone discuss! ;o) Sharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I will get a couple of them soon because I am sorta on a budget and can't commit to getting all of them. Although I'm tempted to forget about my budget because I hate being out of the know when everyone else is talking about how great the tapes are. Oh well, we'll see how it goes. I am about to start a new challenge for myself, not to weigh myself for a month. It's a nasty habit that I am having one heck of a time breaking. I guess I have to do it like I do everything else... one day at a time. Jenni >> Jenni, When someone asks you what you want for Christmas or Hannukah give assign them a specific live tape. I know the budget concerns. Luckily my fiance loves the results of Tae Bo and I don't have a credit card....sooooo... he gets billed and I dont pay him back except by sticking with it. It actually is great motivation on some of those hard to get with it days. Heres an interseting way to make money to buy new tapes (for anyone who might be in the same predicament. I have at least 30 exercise videos I NEVER use. I think I might sell them on e-bay. That should get me one or two tapes :-) Jenni, ALSO start looking around in your area for others that Tae Bo. You can preview there tapes before deciding which ones you want to plunk down the money for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 2, 1999 Report Share Posted December 2, 1999 I have often thought about doing the same challenge to the point of asking myhusband to take and hide the scale but that day hasn't arrivedBarbwho finally figured out how to get the scale to give my lowest weight bystepping on it with the left foot first which is always 2 pounds lighter thanstepping on it with the right foot firstI am one of the lucky ones who has never been obssessed by the scale (well... actually, never is a strong word). I'm actually scared of the scale now. If you guys just HAVE TO weigh yourself, I would suggest weighing yourself once a week, as soon as you wake up in the morning, after "peeing", naked, before a shower... Actually the trick is to ALWAYS weigh yourself at the same time of day, under the same conditions. Your weight varies daily: usually you will weigh more in the evenings than in the mornings. Your weight also varies monthly according to menstrual cycles... It is better to look at OVERALL weight loss than changes from day to day. To help you evaluate better overall weight loss, plot your weight on a chart... This is just my 2 cents, and this is how I got over beeing a "scale-o-holic" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
