I'm bringing this thread back to the top now that I'm actually starting to exercise!
My boyfriend has lost 50 lbs in the past 3 months eek on Nutrisystem, from just portion control alone. Last year he was 300 lbs, slimmed down to 280 and now he's 230! He's halfway to his goal of 180, and I'm truly amazed at all that he's done. He's been off Nutrisystem for about a month now and has maintained his weight, but will need to start working out in order to lose the rest. It's truly amazing what portion control can do for some people.
I've gained a little weight in the past couple of months. The thing that really got me to notice was that I can't comfortably wear my girdles anymore because my thighs touch and rub together too much. My thighs never used to touch before! And panty girdles completely cut off circulation to my legs! I've always been petite, but, like others have said, when you're small, 5 lbs looks like 10, and food definitely sticks to me, so I've always been battling to stay at 110-115 lbs.
I recently rented the Carmen Electra Fit to Strip workout video (no stripping involved in this one, just light cardio and toning exercises) and my legs are killing me! I could only make it through half of the video the first time around, but finished the whole thing tonight.
Any recommendations for at home workout videos? I have lots of anxiety about going to gyms or classes (P.E. traumatized me!), so that's why I'd prefer doing stuff at home.
