What are your favorite workouts?
I have several workouts that I like! I like running in general and using weight machines at the gym. I also really like blogilates' youtube channel for my abs and back workouts. I have a few small weights at home that I have used to improve my arm strength. I am going to to get in a blogilates video when I get home…
Tell us your goals here!
What's your goal? :)
Hiya!
Well this is a new group, and I think it'd be cool if we introduced ourselves and stated our goals. For instance, I'm Madison, I'm 5'1", and I'd like to loose 16 pounds and go to the gym 3 times per week. What's your goal? :)

Tips for shorties losing weight
Copying this over from a forum thread, mostly as a reminder to myself... and also in case it serves as motivation for anyone else in here. I'm 5'1" and recently hit the 155 mark on the scale, which is the most I've ever weighed and not a number I'd like to see there for very long. In my teens and early 20s I could maintain…
Happy, Healthy
Hey everyone! Sorry I haven't updated this group in a while. I've gotten away from calorie counting, and instead I listen more to my body. Though my weight remains steady I have lost between 1 and 2 pounds- I know that's not a lot, but I have gained muscle. I have been doing squats and planks. Over winter break, I went to…
Blogilates' meal plan
Okay. I'm just going to do this already. I've looked at the meal plan before, and I've only managed to stick with it for two days. The plan consists of very clean eating, which I have managed to do for a long period of time before. I need this plan to help me get back on track. I'm rather uncomfortable having an extra 20…
Treadmills
I've always wanted to get my own treadmill since I LOVE using them at the gym. I found a great space saving one that can fold away under my bed. It can go up to 10 mph, and it's electric! I'm excited about finding it-it's $350. I'd love to go buy it soon. I love using the treadmill at the gym and all, it's just that I…
How is everyone's week going? :D
Mine is going decent for the most part. I have been keeping my foods pretty balanced. Not perfect, but balanced. Yes. I just had some cheese-its, and they were hella good :) I did maybe 15-20 minutes of random exercises last night, and I HURT. lol. It's good hurt. I did planks, squats, leg lifts, free weight lifting, and…
How are you?
Hey everybody! How are you all doing? I'm trying to stick with a challenge I've seen around the internet- no weigh November! Basically, you just focus on making healthy changes and do not weigh yourself the whole month. It's about not focusing on a number because we're all so much more than that. I was just looking at some…
Are deserts okay?
Guess what? I'm making a pumpkin bunt cake for my family today. I get to see my aunt, and we're all having dinner at her house. Pumpkin bunt cake may not be the choice thing to eat while trying to lose some weight, but do you know what? Desert is okay! Moderation is a good thing. I just want to you remind you all that too…
Introduction
Hi - I am 5'2 and was just thinking yesterday about how we have a tougher time with extra weight than those without vertical challenges. I am new to the Groups on FitnessPal, so giving this a try. Goal: lose 7 lbs by end of the year so that I don't have to wear shapewear during the holidays. Exercise Plan: run 2 miles 3x…

I am 5ft 3 and would like to be fit and healthy and maintain it! Aim to lose at least 5kg by end of the year - even more would be nicer!
Lunch Time
It's been a great Saturday. I got some very light exercise taking my dogs to the dog park, and I've eaten great. The only problem is there's not a lot of food in the house right now, and I'm kind of limited in my options. I had a great salad for lunch. :) What did you have for lunch?
