ALOT of people on here tell the people who are having trouble losing weight to start weight training. Now I know the reason why!!
I did my first set of push ups (wimpy cheaters on back of couch). My arms are so weak and sore I can hardly bare to lift the fork to my mouth. I push the plate away because it is just not worth the pain. Start weight training folks,, it works......

    LOL, that is about how I was when I first started doing push-ups and squats. I could barely do 10 and thought I would die. Now I am up to 65 push-ups, and by the end of it I still don't exactly want to raise my arms for a while.

    I love lifting (heavy especially) but yesterday I tried something different. I did glute exercises for 30 minutes using body weight only. Heck, I am so sore today, I am walking round like I've been horseriding non stop for a week.

    I do a lot of core work - like plank and then alternate with crunches at my three gym days. I also am doing chin ups, parallel grip pull ups and wide grim pull ups. After doing them I like to swagger - sometimes because I am proud but sometimes because I feel faint...

    Yeah. what about that? What about when you get used to it and the pain goes away and it doesn't hurt the next day anymore? What about that?

    ^ increase the load, within reason of course haha

    ETA: what kind pain are we talkin here, muscle soreness or "oh man, i can't get outta bed pain lol...squats can hurt at first when you start out but eventually your propensity to bounce back speeds up
