I love your workout gear and your workouts sound fun. It's important to enjoy the workouts because you'll keep going. In some ways, the maintenance is harder than getting started and then hitting your goals, because you'll be tempted to cheat. Good job. I know this has bugged you for a while, so your decision to wrest control was great.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-workout-gear#post-1603614 Mon, 18 Jan 2016 02:58:15 +0000 Jaime 1603614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Excellent work!

You have certainly started to lose weight and the belly looks quite toned in the last pic. All your hard work paying off! </p> <p>But yes, consistency is the key. It's great that you enjoy your workouts and look forward to them, and that you're using a fitness tracker to stay motivated. That really helps, I believe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-workout-gear#post-1603562 Mon, 18 Jan 2016 00:02:07 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1603562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great work, Natalie. Thanks for the inspiring post. I think creating the habit of exercise is key. But it also doesn't hurt to have your watch tapping you as a reminder! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-workout-gear#post-1603532 Sun, 17 Jan 2016 22:03:40 +0000 Alassë 1603532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-workout-gear#post-1603436 Sun, 17 Jan 2016 19:04:15 +0000 Anonymous 1603436@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>GP - You are awesome! I love how you set a goal and are achieving it.<br />Congratulations on the 7 lbs weight loss, and I'm cheering you on for the next 7.&nbsp;</p> <p>You rock the exercise gear. I know exercising isn't supposed to be about the clothes, but it does feel good to look good while working out, doesn't it?</p> <p>I see a flat stomach in 12 Food baby is gone, so if that was your goal (as opposed to losing 15 lbs), I think there's no need to lose any further weight.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-workout-gear#post-1603434 Sun, 17 Jan 2016 18:57:31 +0000 Sal 1603434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well done! Your exercise capsule is great, I love patterned tights! You look terrific.</p> <p>It is making it a habit that helps-I have learnt that the hard way. I now love my exercise sessions - in the gym, the park, walking with friends, biking with my sons- but I did need to form them as solid habits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-workout-gear#post-1603430 Sun, 17 Jan 2016 18:46:13 +0000 Jules 1603430@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see no apple or 40-something here... You look great! What a difference. Since you are gaining muscle, you probably won't need to get down to the same number on the scale as before to find your clothes fit the same and you look and feel your best, maybe even better than before </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-workout-gear#post-1603428 Sun, 17 Jan 2016 18:39:49 +0000 Anonymous 1603428@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your post is inspiring!&nbsp; And you workout gear is fab.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-workout-gear#post-1603426 Sun, 17 Jan 2016 18:37:59 +0000 catgirl 1603426@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is so inspiring! You look fantastic and I see a difference - hope you can feel it. I wish my schedule weren't so erratic because I can't do anything regularly any more.. It is hard to be good at all the roles we have as a working wife and mom and still make time for ourselves. Keep up the good work! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-workout-gear#post-1603409 Sun, 17 Jan 2016 17:31:48 +0000 Colette 1603409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look wonderful, your efforts are paying off!

Inspiring indeed and I definitely need a kick in the pants.</p> <p>This is also a great reminder to "exercise" balance in how the wardrobe is apportioned for various roles &amp; goals. I think it fits in my French noodling post. Sure, work is a huge chunk of my time, but in reality I dont' need 40 outfits per season. Yet, exercise is a goal and a need and a good thing to do instead of shopping for work clothes. So a great gear capsule, even if not very big, is&nbsp;useful and motivating. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-workout-gear#post-1603383 Sun, 17 Jan 2016 16:10:41 +0000 deb 1603383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Go, Natalie!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-workout-gear#post-1603380 Sun, 17 Jan 2016 15:57:54 +0000 JAileen 1603380@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Even your workout wear is stylish. You definitely have made progress - congratulations!</p> <p>Up until I was 37 I never had any weight issues. Then suddenly I started gaining weight. I have been thinking about joining a gym, yet again. The last one I quit because the guys at the pool were very creepy. I'd like to do yoga again, and rowing machine at least. I'm not sure what all I can do as my arm still hurts from my fall on the ice a week ago. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-workout-gear#post-1603375 Sun, 17 Jan 2016 15:38:57 +0000 Anonymous 1603375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So nice to see some workout gear modelled on a regular person! &nbsp;I love your collection of pieces, and enjoyed reading about the new programs you are involved with . &nbsp;You sound properly motivated and positive!

I will be inspired by you. My life situation is very similar, and with Christmas and holidays my clothes are a bit tight, and I know I need proper exercise for my general health. Love that you have the motivator of time with friends after a Saturday workout. I think cool gear makes it just that bit easier to get out to the gym, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-workout-gear#post-1603308 Sun, 17 Jan 2016 10:52:15 +0000 LaPed 1603308@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad to see you back!

What a great new selection of workout gear! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-workout-gear#post-1603272 Sun, 17 Jan 2016 07:21:49 +0000 goldenpig 1603272@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi all! I haven't been around as much here lately because I started exercising two months ago. I've been living in comfy cardigans and workout wear and don't really have the time or effort to post outfits. But I thought you would like to see what I've been up to, even if it's just "gear".</p> <p>I never really had to watch what I ate or exercise in the past (I was so busy with work and the kids and was pretty much nonstop nursing for the past eight years, so that was my "diet/exercise program"!). But I gained 15 lb over the last year after I stopped nursing and the 40's metabolism finally caught up with me. I was already an apple but my belly got even bigger. Five of my patients asked me if I was pregnant. That was the last straw! I resolved to get in shape. I signed up for a trial of The Dailey Method, which is a barre class, and went nearly every day for a month. The first few times were so tough--my thighs were shaking trying to do all those squats and leg lifts! But I slowly got stronger and now can do plank walks and full pushups! This past month I joined a gym called OrangeTheory Fitness, where you run on a treadmill, row and do other weight exercises and your heart rate is displayed on a monitor the whole time so you can see how hard you're working. You have to go in cycles from base pace to push pace and then run "all out" for 30 sec to 1 min. I'm going from 5 miles to 6.5 miles to 8 miles per hour and am dying at that point...I'm sure the others are looking at me because I'm breathing so hard! I really have to plan ahead to fit the exercise into my day, and rely on my husband and nanny to help out with the kids while I'm exercising. But I think it's worth it. OTF is a great cardio workout and Dailey Method is a great core/toning workout so I think I'll stick with a combination of both. I still go to Dailey Method with some other mom friends on Saturdays whenever we can--the kids get to play together at childcare at the studio and then we go to the park nearby afterward. A mommy exercise playdate!</p> <p>I'm still working on the diet...trying to curb my candy/sweet tooth and cut carbs. It's tough though! I have lost about half of the weight I gained and hoping to continue to make progress. I am also starting to notice some taming of the "food baby". Still an apple for sure, but hoping not to be a puff pastry anymore!</p> <p>I haven't bought much in the way of real clothes lately, but instead have amped up my workout wardrobe with some cool new gear. #1/2 is my fave because it looks like a real outfit with the zippered houndstooth leggings, but take off the cardigan and boots and I'm totally ready to work out! I also got an Apple Watch for Christmas and am having fun with the Activity Tracker function.</p> <p>Thanks for looking and for your encouragement! This is hard but I'm trying to get healthier, both for me and for my family!</p> <p>1-2. Zella leggings, Vince cardigan<br />3-4. Nike<br />5. Spyder<br />6. American Giant hoodie, Gama Go Ninja Kitty T, Zella leggings. <br />7-9. Dailey Method. Love the grippy socks that give you pep talks. I also like that they have childcare during some of the classes.&nbsp;<br />10-11. OrangeTheory Fitness.&nbsp;<br />12-14. Some progress pics. </p>
