What are you doing to get in show shape!!!!!

[hanita]

Well I am going to lose 10 lbs. for copa mundial so I can look nice and skinny on the horse...when you think about it horses are atheletes the traine every day is it fair that we just sit around and let them lug our heafty bootays...no so I am going to lose ten pounds thats the final goal.

[Brigitte]

Yeah I was thinking about that too..good idea to lose some weight, but my trainer told me that he's probably going to do condition training with us, so I went to start early so not to look totally out of shape. :lol:

[Pasogirlz]

There is a special hidden forum called the Pound Busters that is sorta an apf.com diet group. If any of you girls want to be included let me know...there are many healthy diet tips in there.

hanita- What diet do you plan to follow? Lots of excersize? If so what kind?

[ErinC]

ten lbs sounds good to me too!
I KNOW my horses would like that!
Not only the less weight but you ride better when you are in shape.

[hanita]

well, I am a very firm beliver in eating and if any of you have met you know I love it...but I try to excersize at least three times a week running on the treadmill, and i also do some strength training at our towns YMCA, I am also on the SLIM FAST diet and it really works my dad lost 30 lbs in like three months...I try to eat smaller portions but that is the hardest part I love to eat rice and chicken and pasta and those kinds of starches...and I HATE BROCOLLI!!!!!!!!!! It has to be the most disgusting food on the earth....YUCK!!!!!!!

Well, I'm not really doing anything b/c I run 3 miles every morning, plus I play basketball this time of year as well as swim laps. I think the key to most diets is to excersie alot and eat in moderation. (I have troble w/ that b/c I like to eat too) :D

[Pasogirlz]

Slim Fast is breakfast of Champions. :lol: It's been mine for years. ;-)

[Got Brio?]

I decided no MORE snacks!!!And that I would eat light meals.And eat whole grain stuff.

I'm with pasowave, I'm not really doing anything in the fitness department either. I work my butt off out at the barn all the time and my mom worries about me losing too much weight anyway.

My goal for Pitty was to gain some weight. He looked like he lost some on his topline after the barn owner changed feeds two months ago. So I changed his grains and put him on a new regimen. The final product being what he's on now (Blue Seal Vintage Racer) and he has already gained all his weight back plus some! In TWO WEEKS my horse can gain back weight he loses! Oh how I LOVE easy keepers... :D

My family did cut back on the sugar intake, particularly for my brother's sake. He's an eating machine who can gain 5 pounds in like two weeks and grow an inch in a month! I'm probably the healthiest one in my family, but I still cut back on the sugar. It really makes you feel a lot better!

i need to loose at least 5 lbs. before asheville. I've gained weight over the winter. I've been eating alot of salads staying away from soda trying not to eat alot of greasy fatty foods. I need to look skinnier on my new horse b/c he makes me look taller then wut i am (he's only like 13-13'2 and i'm 5'1) i wouldn't mind seeing those tips Lori if possible. I just want to look my best this year. New horse, New year, driver's liscense, me being 15, maybe new outfit if i make it, and new me. :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

running my a$$ off ! gotta shed a good 20 pounds! wish me luck!

Running everyday now and new school building opened this month- 3 floors and I go up and down more than 4 times everyday I have school! ;-)

[Brigitte]

Running's a good idea. I think I'm gonna go run with Serano he needs to lose some weight too. Or maybe climb the hills with Marinero

[hanita]

Yeah I hope I will look nice and skinny for my horse, and boys!!!!!!! ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-)

[RitmicoRox5]

all this talk of excercising makes me feel tired just sitting here!! lol
for show season its mainly about getting the horses ready...me not so much right now...hearing you people talk about losing weight makes me feel like a total slacker for not losing any weight...but as of last week i am five feet three and a half inches tall and i weigh 105 pounds so thats just fine by me and as long as i am happy with myself thats all that matters

[El Indio Elegante]

i wish i'm 5'1 and i weigh 131 pounds. Some of it is muscle though

[~pasowave~]
