Nancy,<br />
<br />
Keep making it a priority to schedule the exercise. It's so easy as a scopist to become chained to your computer and become extremely sedentary! That's what happened to me. The benefits of the exercise are far greater than any amount of money you can make scoping pages instead. I've even found that I'm more productive and my mind is much sharper now that I'm exercising on a regular basis.<br />
<br />
So don't give up!<br />

I'm just a scoping student, but I also wanted to say that I have the Turbo Jam DVDs from Beachbody. I enjoy them quite a bit, as I love kickboxing, and they are fun. I know people who have lost a lot of weight with them, one over 100 lbs.<br />
<br />
I already have to schedule exercise into my day like I would a regular appointment, as it is. I'm a legal secretary by day. I know once I start scoping, I'll have to work it in the same way.<br />

Rhoda,<br />
<br />
Just wondering how you and everyone else is doing, especially at staying motivated and making the time for exercise.<br />
<br />
I hit a slump and was having a real hard time staying motivated. Decided not to worry about and not to allow myself to give in to it for very long. Finally back into the swing of things and hope that the warmer, gorgeous weather here in the Philly area will help me to keep the motivation level high.<br />
<br />
Anyone have any plans for keeping active this summer?<br />

Wow, I have all that you mentioned. My husband has the PX90 and I have the Slim in 6 --- I haven't really started it yet. I've just started walking/running on treadmill and doing the bike....but if you said you lost 3 inches in 3 weeks, that's great. I really have to lose my butt, and thighs and my back I would like not so wide.....within the past 5 years, my back got bigger (crazy, huh??). Anyway, I leave to Dominican Republic in 17 days, so hopefully something can happen --- like a miracle.…

Rhoda - The beachbody people are seriously the best home workouts you can do with fast results. I did the Slim in 6 and lost 3 inches off my waist in 3.5 weeks...it took my hips away and toned my core, butt, thighs, etc. Debbie Siebers and Tony Horton know what they're doing! My mom is 52 and got washboard abs from Tony's Power 90...I say go for it!<br />
<br />
PS Best thing I ever did was buy ankle weights and add those to the workout. They help it all melt off a lot faster!<br />
<br />
Good luck! Julie

Thankfully the gym was nice and quite. You just had the kids coming in to school and the maintenance staff coming in and out sometimes. No loud music and all natural light because it has skylights and we would turn the regular lights off. But it's 16 and a smidge laps around the perimeter of the gym to make a mile and we were easily doing two to three miles and it was just getting boring.

Thankfully the gym was nice and quite. You just had the kids coming in to school and the maintenance staff coming in and out sometimes. No loud music and all natural light because it has skylights and we would turn the regular lights off. But it's 16 and a smidge laps around the perimeter of the gym to make a mile and we were easily doing two to three miles and it was just getting boring. Added hand weights a couple of weeks ago, which was a challenge, but it didn't help with the overall feel of what we were doing. I'm outside of Philly and we're just starting to see some spring-like temps. It was a natural to take it outside. Two laps around the parking lot/perimeter of the buildings is just about a mile. Lots easier mentally to do four laps each morning now! Plus we get the benefit of an incline. We're even nuts enough to walk in the rain, that's how much we enjoy the change!<br />
<br />
My doctor wants to me to ramp it up and add bike riding. I went to her two weeks ago for my physical (I know you're supposed to see them before exercising) and was telling her how the inches were coming off great but that the weight was slow to come off. So we talked about walking in the gym and how it's good to a point and then if you want to keep taking the weight off, you have to do more or change the routine in some manner. I think my husband would shoot me if I got an exercise bike for the house. I just got rid of the treadmill because my daughter requires constant supervision and there's no convenient way to walk here at home. We have a home gym and eventually I'll use that.<br />
<br />
I need to figure out what I'm going to do come the end of May when school gets out. Won't have the convenience of going out every morning to take the kids to school. My neighborhood doesn't have the safest roads to walk on. Will either have to go to a local walking/running track or get the bike or use the gym. At least I've established this as a habit and won't just give up on it at the end of the school year.<br />
<br />
My dad turns 75 this Sunday and a number of family members are going to be in Florida for a surprise birthday party. I wasn't able to work it out to go, but I talk to him on the phone on a regular basis. He walks on the beach in Clearwater on a regular basis. I was telling him how I can't wait to be able to come down for a visit sometime and walk with him. And I have a court reporter I work for in the Tampa area who also is into walking. We haven't met face-to-face yet, but when I do get in the area, we're planning on getting together for a walk. Great stuff to look forward to!<br />

Wild applause, Sheryl! You are an inspiration to us all.<br />
<br />
I found the gym too nutso with loud music, bright lights, and all that repetition. I have had a stationary bike at home for about ten years now, and I actually use the thing, particularly in winter, because it's so convenient. But I prefer to walk and bike ride.
