The rational and scientific weight loss discussion thread
Just saw this on the NYT. It's ridiculously short, but I thought might be a good start as something to do at home if I have done no other exercise that day, and could always do it a few times. No special equipment required. I'm printing it out and adding an interval timer app to my phone, which would be useful for Spacey47's boxing-style workout too, which I kind of did the other day but without a timer.

Goals and Rewards
You might also like this app. You pay if you miss a gym visit, and you win money (share of all those who missed their workouts) if you go! http://www.gym-pact.com/

The rational and scientific weight loss discussion thread
Thanks for the lunge/punching workout suggestion. If anyone else has routines/videos to suggest that work within these (ridiculous!) parameters, I would love to hear them.

- kind of quiet (not wake up kids in other room)
- in a creaky old wooden house (jumping makes the whole house and upstairs neighbor's apartment rattle)
- in a small/medium living room.
- some structure (ie video) so I don't have to totally self motivate the whole time (sort of like a class at the gym)

bored. CHEAP healthy easy foods
I am in a family with another adult who isn't dieting specifically, but is happy to eat whatever I cook and 2 picky little kids. One thing I do (at dinner at least) is steam some veggies in the microwave in a glass container (glass bowl with a plate over it or an all glass container). Then we have whatever main dinner course that is acceptable to the little kids (lasagna, chicken, etc) and I fill half my plate with steamed veggies to cut the calories.

For breakfast, we usually all have oatmeal (plain rolled oats cooked with half water, half lowfat milk) with frozen berries and some toasted nuts. That's easy enough to make for one.

For lunch, sometimes I have prepared salads from Trader Joe's which aren't super low calorie, but aren't off the charts. You could make yourself something similar: salad greens with some of whatever protein is leftover from last night's dinner.

New Year's resolutions
Me too!

I was struggling to think in concrete terms, but Kingkeld gave me a good model.

I want to lose 25 lbs. To get there, I will:

I will use FatSecret to count my calories daily.

I will exercise daily, even if it is just a 20 min youtube aerobics video.

Thanks for the support!
