Favorite Exercise: I need variety - currently I'm walking & running outside, using the various cardio machines at the gym (treadmill, elliptical, bike, rowing machine), doing Pilates, doing Zumba, and strength training.

Name: Trina
Age: 34
State/Country: Topeka, Kansas (USA)
Favorite excercise: weightlifting, but I don't do it as often as I'd like. I only have small amounts of time to work out, and I've found that running and videos (such as 30 day shred) help me tone all over more than lifting does. But it's what I enjoy the most.
Favorite go to snack: cheddar cheese, whole wheat crackers and turkey pepperoni
Reason for Losing Weight: Confidence - I don't want to feel self conscious around anyone. I want to look good in short shorts, tank tops and cute dresses. I also want to look hot for my husband. 0 -

Bumping this. I see a few of the Sunday weigh-ins are still pinned so this got dropped down. I'd love to hear from more people in the group!0

Also, I was diagnosed with a thyroid issue, and I really don't want to be on medicine for the rest of my life. Before I even filled the script, I wanted to completely change my lifestyle to see what impact I could make without meds. I've cut way back on drinking, forced myself to get more rest at night and more physicial activity daily, and have lost some weight in the process. Generally, with the changes I've made, I had been feeling a lot better. However, I'm actually going to the doctor this afternoon, because I've started to feel very run down again and having some of the same sypmptoms I had before the intial diagnosis. Hoping all my labs come back normal - I'll just keep my fingers crossed and keep doing what I'm doing!0
