Not even cat-nip?

Oooo, a while back I tried those and they killed me. If you can do those then you are in far better shape than I.
I got Pilates for Dummies and right now I'm working up to be able to do that again.
More power to you

One of my parents cats doesn't pay it any attention. But, the other one goes crazy with it.
I guess it's a per cat thing.

Hey all. As a female, 5'5 and 142lbs, I don’t consider myself over weight, but I wouldn't mind losing a few pounds. I'm getting married in July and want to be a little more trim for my final dress fitting. I'm already an avid daily exerciser, because 1) I have stupidly high cholesterol for someone my age, and 2) there's gym next door to my job, and I beat the traffic if I use it before work. Right now, I only do cardio - treadmill and ellipse machine. I've been reading the advice about squats for leg and rear-end toning and plan to add that to my routine.
I thought I'd chime in with a couple of ideas.
First, for those who are worried about over eating, drinking water is a great trick. Drink a tall glass of water before eating every meal. The water makes you feel full, so you eat less. Drinking water is healthy anyway; I hope every Browncoat who is becoming more active is remembering to drink more water.
Second, be sure to get enough sleep at night. I can't quote the exact science, but I read somewhere that if you're shorting yourself on sleep at night, your body stores more calories - it thinks there's some kind of an emergency situation keeping you from resting, and prepares for flight.
Third, I don't know how many of you Browncoats out there own a Play Station 2, but I highly recommend the Dance Dance Revolution video games as a form of cardio activity. A friend of mine in college lost 50lbs playing daily; my fiance has lost 10lbs since he started playing nightly about two months ago.
You've probably seen the games in an arcade - there is a pad with four arrows on it (up down left right), and you step on the arrows in time to the music and patterns being played by a song. You can buy similar equipment for use in your home. If you don't have any of the equipment, it will probably cost you at least $100 for a refurbished PlayStation 2 system, $50 for one game (there are four or five out now), and maybe $50 for the special control pad to play the game with (spring for the thicker pad, as the response is better. The pad is more comfortable on your feet as well). Large start up cost, but often cheaper then a gym membership. It takes a few tries to get the eye/foot coordination, but then you're off and dancing! There are many different levels of intensity to work at, and it can help solve the problem of getting bored with your exercise routine.
Good luck, all!

I guess I should probably list my stats so we can all see the progress, right?
Male
Height: 6'4"
Weight: 245 lb
Anyway I went hiking on the woodland trails at the park yesterday. Put in five miles.
Will be going to the gym this afternoon again.

I didn't get a chance to read all the previous posts but I'd like to post an exercise idea that I've practiced and it works for me and my girlfriend. I have never tried DDR (Dance dance revolution) but I had heard it was really fun. I got the Mario Dance mix for my gamecube and tried it out.
Now I do it 3-4 times a week for a half hour or so and it's a lot of fun do with someone else as well. I am not overweight or anything but I could lost a bit. Anyways I've lost about 10 pounds in about a month. Playing video games and exercising, what can be better?
For those who don't think they are coordinated for DDR think again. The Mario Mix version has 5 dificulties and is meant for novices. It may be hard to find but it's helped me so I'm spreading the word. I've never actually tried the real DDR but I might now that I've gotten pretty good at Mario Mix.
