I did yoga/pilates class at the studio last night...first time I've been there in over a year...it was so fun and I totally killed it!!!1

Went back to classes last night. There was a new instructor who also does personal training (lifting!). We are scheduled to meet tomorrow before class. Yay! This young man used to compete in body building and has gotten his trainers certification. Maybe, just maybe this guy might work out for me. So excited! Not that I want to get into body building competitions, but I do want to continue to strength train properly.
Anyway, tabata class was good and am feeling it today.1 -

I've just joined the gym and the PT there has got me doing tabata workouts. You don't realise how hard you've worked till the next day 😂0 -

I remember when I was super-duper excited about strength-training....I want to get re-connected with that "feeling"...and QUICKLY!
Mind you, after 5 months of tough-tough workload and heavy hours, I am FINALLY coming down with a horrid head-cold. I know it is horrid because my teenager came down with it on Saturday and my husband on Sunday and I've been watching the horror of it inside my house....hoping that I did not fall ill. But, I did.

Hey kids, I guess it is something in the air as everyone around me has some kind of cold and/flu symptoms. Ugh. Sdereski, I hope you enjoy the strength training. I swear I wished I had listened to my own gut when other's discouraged me from doing it. People had me believing if I lifted heavy I would be a female version of Arnold Schwarzenegger. Lesson learned that's for sure. When I get that serious burst of energy I complete 2 programs in a day. Today was that day. I completed my squat and bench programs. Cryotherapy you say; ugh yes. Beeps, hope you and yours feel better.2

Hi, I just found this thread. I'm Dani, 47 years old and tired of being fat, so decided to finally get serious and do something about it. I'm keeping things simple. Drink more water, eat less garbage, move my butt more, go to the gym 3-4 times a week, and stop mindless boredom eating! I'm 218lbs, and my ultimate goal is somewhere between 130lbs-140lbs. My first goal is to get under 200lbs and then after that I'm going to break it into 10lb chunks until I reach my goal weight.
My other huge motivation is that I've been invited to a Great Gatsby 20s theme wedding in October, and I found the perfect dress and I want to look f-ing amazing in it. So a little over 9 months to get as close to goal weight as I can!

I have been good at getting in most of my workouts this month...last night's combat was particularly fun and today I feel way less sore than I did yesterday, so that's a win all around!1

I hear ya - I hadn't worked out in almost 6 months, other than some hiking. Did 5 days in a row this past week.

Sign me up!! I'm 50yo and have dropped 50lbs. I have 60 more to reach goal. I walk on my treadmill and do resistance bands for now. I want to buy a rowing machine in the near future. Also, I track calories.2

Hey kids, I had a lot of squats and deficit deadlifts today. Welcome all newbies.2

"Body Beast Build: Chest/Tris"=Done!1

I'm supposed to be eating at maintenance, but have managed to lose half a pound...not gonna complain!2

Havnt worked out in months. Trying to get back it. Lost 10 to 15 lbs since then. Feel small and weak and fatter. Hoping MFP gets me motivated a little.0

Hi Kids,
Welcome NOOBs. Also great to see the regulars back at it.
Week one of my training build had some ups and downs. No swimming last week due to a lingering ear infection, but my bike work was solid. I even took advantage of mild temps on Saturday to do my 2hr ride outdoors. It was great to get outside after months off indoor riding!
Yesterday's run was a real dose of humility. After a year of no running and carrying some extra lbs, the 45 min run was a real slog. But I'm one run closer to where I want to be. Fourteen weeks until race day.3 -
Brute Force Operator Series Alpha 25! “The Kraken” (yes, that’s what they call it...LOL!)!!! 60#!!! Again with the “not my best time or numbers”, but maintained form throughout...even though I hit the wall at about half way. For the bag swings, I kept the 60#er but grabbed it by the side handles. Felt MUCH better on that left arm.1
