[La Lioness Priyanka]

1. yay for you!!!

:bounce:

good going girl! you are making some awesome changes in your life! :)

[Rising Phoenix]

6. I'm trying!

:loveya:

[AllegroRondo]

2. good for you!

now what is this "bikini boot camp"?

[Rising Phoenix]

7. its a class

to whip me into bathing suit shape...my mom has a pool...

[AllegroRondo]

10. I see. It sounded like one of those late night Cinemax movies.

not that I would know anything about that.

[Rising Phoenix]

12. of course you wouldn't

lol

[Shell Beau]

3. Good for you!! You will be looking hotter than ever!

:7

[Rising Phoenix]

8. thanks sweeite

my sis and I are starting a diet plan and will keep each other on track

[taterguy]

4. Not to nitpick but shouldn't that be hotter?

I thought you were already hot.

[Rising Phoenix]

9. awwww, thank you

:blush:

[cwydro]

5. Seems like you're pretty hot already..

but good on ya!

Exercise is a great thing...keeps you healthy physically yes, but for me the best thing is the mental benefit. I am a basket case if I don't get my run in everyday.

[Rising Phoenix]

11. true that

exercise is always good for my head!

[cwydro]

13. Makes it easier to deal

with, shall we say, the more "difficult" people in life.B-)

[Rising Phoenix]

17. ...

:9

[emmajane67]

14. Yay you!

Just a word of warning, the first month is easy, it's exciting and new, just make sure you stay motivated after that!

From someone who joined the gym in January, went for about 5 weeks and hasn't been back since!

You've inspired me, I'll go in the morning.

:bounce:

[Rising Phoenix]

15. glad I could help

it will be good going with my sis because when one of us is feeling lazy we can force the other one to go...will also be doing my hip hop abs at night....

[emmajane67]

27. A gym buddy does sound helpful.

I used to have a housemate I went walking with every morning. Having someone bang on the bedroom door when you're feeling lazy DEFINATELY helps.

[Rising Phoenix]

29. I"m counting on it!

[meegbear]

16. Which one?

[Rising Phoenix]

18. The Workout Club

[meegbear]

24. Never heard of it, where is it?

[SPKrazy]

19. i wanna come to bikini boot camp

:bounce: :bounce:

:hi:

:hi:

[Rising Phoenix]

21. it would be fun if you came!

thanks...you'll have no choice but to handle my blinding hottness...:rofl:

[SPKrazy]

28. cool!

i'll get my sunglasses out even at night! :)

;)

[malta blue]

20. Good for you Mrs Sniffa!

:hug:

[Rising Phoenix]

23. pretty good thanks

I have another date with older man tomorrow night....

[malta blue]

25. Oooh la la

;)

Best of luck!

[amitten]

22. Question....

Sorry if it's too personal, you don't have to answer.

Are you still together with sniffa? I never see you post about one another so I'm just curious.

[Rising Phoenix]

26. no, I'm not

[amitten]

31. Okay, thanks.

Hope you're both doing fine!

[AlCzervik]

30. Good for you, i really need to get motivated to work out again.

lets us know how how that bootcamp works for you, would you?

:hi:

[Rising Phoenix]

33. will do...

if all goes well, I'll post some before and after pics!

[ThomCat]

32. I hope you have fun!

:)

[Rising Phoenix]

34. thanks

[Nicole]

35. Woo Hoo!

Sounds like you are making some great changes on your way to a new life. :hug:

[pdx_prog]

36. Great for you MS!

A great way to kickstart is to go through the Atkins induction period (2 weeks) while you are working out.

And just as a side note....us older guys are always much more fun than the younger guys..:)

[tjwmason]

37. Good for you - and best of luck

I keep meaning to join - there is a very good quality and hevily subsidised one at work, but I still haven't got that far.

As for hot Mrs. Sniffa on the way - you always were hot. :hi:

[no name no slogan]

38. best of luck

I joined a gym for the first time in my life last November, and it's made a huge difference in getting through the winter and spring-- physically as well as mentally. My mood's more stable and I sleep better. Plus I've also dropped about 25 lbs, and now weigh less than what is says on my drivers license!

Plus, now that I'm in better shape, I find that I crave different foods now. Instead of ice cream, I crave fresh fruit. Instead of potato chips and dip, I crave granola and soy milk.

I never thought I'd say it, but getting in better shape has literally changed my life. And I'm sure it will change yours, too! :)

39. Congrats!

:hi: I was happy when I did it and I've actually kept up with it for a few years now. :) Good luck with everything! :D
