hey ya'll.. I just joined a gym!
I know.. kinda stupid considering tufts has a gym we can use.. but at the same time.. it was a good deal and I can now take classes, and not run into everyone I know.
Anyways.. what are the most effective ways to lose weight.. is it possible to do so taking classes, beacuse I think that that is what I am most interested in, and most of my reasoning behind joining a real gym, rather than just going to the tufts gym.
oh and I had no motivation going to the tufts gym.. i'm hoping that i'll get some now that i'm paying out of pocket to go to this place.

What gym did you join? What classes to they offer? The one that burns the most calories that I take is Kickboxing... and then there are also step & cycling classes that really burn the caloires too! Be sure to get a weight class in there too!!

hey shell.. I joined work out world.. but the website doesn't give the classes...
they have basically everything. tae chi, step aerobics, back and butt, ab attack, muscle conditioning, zamba, hip hop aerobics, belly dancing, kickboxing.
there are no cycling classes, though.. but there are step. I thought that you went to alot of classes, so I was wondering if you work out in addition to the classes etc.

Well, these sound like the ones that I do or have tried
step aerobics (Step)
ab attack (Ab Express) - This class is too early in the day, so I can't take it.
muscle conditioning (ReP - weight resistance training or Body Sculpting)
kickboxing (Turbo Kickboxing)
This is what I TRY to do each week....
Monday: Kickboxing + maybe 20 mins cardio
Tues: Body Sculpting + at least 20 mins cardio, sometimes more.
Wed: Monday: Kickboxing + maybe 20 mins cardio
Thurs: Rep + at least 20 mins cardio, sometimes more.
Friday: 20 mins cardio, sometimes more and then Yoga.
Sat or Sun (other day I take off): Sometimes Rep + at least 20 mins cardio, sometimes more. OR 45 + mins cardio, depending on my schedule.

Snack- pirates booty (1serving)

Hullo!
Exercise: I spent about half an hour speed walking and then spent over three hours running around the house, cooking and stuff, so I said 30 minutes of walking. Burned: 153 calories.
Food Budget: 1378 calories.
Breakfast: English raisin muffin with strawberry jam = 187 calories (but I only ate about 3/4 of it). Apple mango sauce = 93 calories = 280 calories
Lunch: Kinda missed lunch 'cause I had exams today - Had a Luna bar between classes and some pretzels, then 3 arrowroot cookies = 325 calories
Dinner: Orange Glazed Chicken Breasts with Mushrooms and Onions from EFI (Thanks, Heather!! - That recipe is SO GOOD) with Jasmine Rice and 2 thin slices French Bread while I was cooking = 412 calories
Dessert: 1 and a half pieces of Peppermint Fudge Cake - I finally made it! with the mocha glaze = 206 calories, without the glaze.. so I'm not sure how many to add for the glaze..
For a total of: 1223 calories + the glaze.. so if that's less than 155 calories, it is in my goal!!
And I am supposed to have 80 oz of water a day - today I have had... 64 oz - I will drink some more water now and have some peppermint tea later.
Side Note: I started to feel kinda bad because I didn't get any time to do any exercise today, but then I think I had a really productive day. I got up early, spoke to some people about jobs, sent off resumes and stuff, made an appointment to get my hair cut (woo hoo), 2 hour History Lecture, 2 hour psychology exam, went to the optomotrist, grocery shopping, making dinner AND cake.. this is the first time (except for in school) I have sat down all day! I have one of those good 'I got everything that needed doing done' feelings now, and can relax and watch TV for a while and have some boyfriend cuddling time!
Cheers all!!
Steph

hope you don't mind me answering your question, the best way to lose weight is to do as much cardio as you can. For me personally the elliptical machine is great, feels like it does so much at once instead of concentrating on one area. I don't do treadmills because I can't run on them, just feel off balance even if I let one hand go to grab my water bottle, weird huh lol. Don't get discouraged at first because you will need to build up your time on machines slowly. I could only stand about 10 mins on the elliptical at first and now can do 45 no problem. I haven't done any classes yet. It's nice to do some weights as a break from cardio and I find if I do some in between I can go back on a machine for even longer. A few hints though: muscle weighs more than fat so if you do weights and gain muscle you might not notice a difference in weight as far as numbers. Go by how your clothes fit and how you feel instead of relying on the scale and what it says. It's also better to weigh yourself before working out because you weigh more afterwards. Best of luck, working out just makes me feel so great, I have to push myself to go but am always glad I did afterwards.

Hi, Thanks.. I'm going to try to do as much cardio as possible. I'm not too into lifting weights or anything. A little toning would be nice, but nothing too serious. I'm rather get thinner.. not bulkier and more muscular.

Sorry about not reporting in this weekend! It was a crazy, but fun weekend, I had a lot of homework to do, but put most of it off until yesterday (I was off of work for President's Day). Ended up getting to spend lots of time with my best friend/roommate I'd been having problems with, which really helped!
I didn't keep track of specifics this weekend, I was ok on water drinking, maybe a little under the 64 oz/day I'm shooting for, but not bad. Exercise-wise, I went shopping for 3 hours on Sunday, which meant lots of walking. Yesterday, I went on a cleaning binge, and vacuummed the whole downstairs of our apartment (our apt is two floors), and cleaned the kitchen as well. Worked up a nice sweat. Fruit/veggie wise, had some roasted vegetable non dairy pizza, applesauce, veggie stir fry, and pasta with garden combination tomato sauce this weekend at various points. I made spinach bread again and vegan blueberry muffins yesterday so I'm set for this week.
Going to try to be better about reporting in, I swear!

I did horrible over the weekend and had a bad tummy so that's why you didn't get a report from me till now. Tummy is still a little goofy, but I'm really trying to maintain my food intake.
Breakfast/Lunch - I didn't eat until almost noon... oatmeal w/ maple syrup and rice milk, & banana, blueberry and strawberry smoothy
Snack - chips and salsa
Dinner - BBQ chicken on homemade white bread, potato chips, and a fruit cup.
Water - a little less than 64oz.
I didn't excercise all weekend or today but plan on it for tomorrow.

I don't have my book here so I don't have the list of ingrediants. Add all the calories for all the ingrediants and then divide by how many slices YOUR cake made...that is how many calories per slice you would add.
For a total of: 1223 calories + the glaze.. so if that's less than 155 calories Oh, I'm sure it is!! , it is in my goal!!
And I am supposed to have 80 oz of water a day - today I have had... 64 oz - I will drink some more water now and have some peppermint tea later.
GOOD GIRL!!

I have one of those good 'I got everything that needed doing done' feelings now, and can relax and watch TV for a while and have some boyfriend cuddling time! You did great today.... at least you did not skip the gym and feed your face with crap all day....you did very well AND you got lots done....you are a busy girl. Give B/F hugs from me too...he is such a sweetie!!
Cheers all!!
