Desperate Goals
I know I posted my goals in my intro but here they are again:
Drop from a size 2 to a 0 (I do not weight myself because I will become obsessive) Increase my stamina for running (right now I get winded so quickly) Increase my weight traning from 2-3X/Week to 5X/Week (is that a good goal?) and go from using 5lbs to 8-10lbs.

How tall are you? I'm 5'3 and a size 5/6. I'd like to try to get into a 3/4 and I'll be happy:updown I'm weighing myself once a week and doing pretty good so far. Do you enjoy running? I hate it. I've been swimming alot and finding it to be a great cardio workout. I really believe that it's increasing my stamina. I jump rope too. I'm not sure about the weights:ponder Sounds good to me

I just started this past week working out to a few weight training DVD's for women. On is called Quick Fix something or other and the other is from a series called the firm. I'm using 3-5lb dumbells and resistance bands. My tricepts and bicepts are a bit sore but it's all good.:c60

I am about 5'1 - 5'1.5
I enjoy running...well it is more of a skimpper than a run. I need to really work on my form. As for weights I try and do what the magazines say, but I could be really having some hard time with form. I usually do 5 sets of 12 reps at 5lbs of bicep curls, tricep things (where you put the weight behind your head and push up), the thing where you put your arms in a T position and lower and raise...then I do squats and lunges. My mom always said that swimming made your arms too big (i.e. football player...this is really what she refered to it as) so I never really swim only when I have to. Also being in the sun is bad for your skin so I stay away from harmful UV rays whenever possible.

I used to use the rowing machine for back definition, then I just switched to push ups....I like to do things in the comfort of my own room/home...guess I am shy.

I have a pool in my apartment complex and my parents have a pool as well, so it's pretty convenient for me to get my nightly dip.

I'm sure your current situtation with your husband isn't helping matters either. Remember, from what you shared, you loved and gave into the relationship your all...don't let his bad behavior :complain affect you and your worth or the way you view yourself.

my only suggestion would be to make your goals a lil more measurable and include a set time frame... you'll be more inclined to achieve them. for example: instead of i want to increase my stamina, try: i want to be able to run 1 mile in 8 minutes by the end of the month. or i want to drop from a size 2 to a size 0 by april 1st. ^^ doesnt necessarily have to be those dates/times/etc, but you get the idea. my personal example: i am currently 170lbs and i want to be 180 lbs by the end of the semester. hope that helped. (oh, and i dont know if you've ever heard this before - but they say "a goal isnt a goal unless it is written down"... i thought 'ha, b/s' but i tried it over winter break from school and i like it. i was 159lbs and wanted to be 175 by the start of the semester - even though a bit unrealistic to pack on 15lbs of muscle in three weeks- i typed it out and blew it up on word, printed/cut it out, taped it to my closet door in my room, and i feel helped me get close to where i wanted... start of semester i was 170ish.) srry for long post!

Updated Goals:
By the end of March I want to be a size 0. ------------- I feel so fat today and I dont know why, it is just so discouraging feeling this way.
