Just go for baby steps first. Go for 15 minutes at a slow pace, each equipment, and assess how you feel before moving up. Watch your calorie consumption and you're good.

Night splint for a good month. Compression sleeves for the feet and plantar fasciitis insoles. Then performing a runner's stretch. One foot stepped onto the wall, stretch your free leg back some and switch your other foot either in or out. It has to twisted slightly. Then lean forward until the knee of the foot on the wall…

Damn, you're off to a great start and you have a coach now. You know what you want to do and have the body makeup for it. I had recently hit a hiccup with my free weights and my right shoulder (my dominant arm) decided it wanted to give out on me. So that was a setback for a bit with some lighter weights and fewer reps…

Thank you. I can't talk about food to other people cause I'm "one of those people who eat and don't gain weight". Not true! I'm just on my own eating and workout regime that keeps me from gaining weight. For instance, today I can eat a bit below 2,800 calories. But it's been clean eating, carbs, protein and fat - weight…

That's good as an example right there.

That's why I started weight lifting when I hit Maintain. I guess it's just hard for me to understand when other people said they lost weight while lifting. But then again, I eat to feed my muscles so they'll grow.

I know the feeling. Went pants shopping online, and my measurements say I can fit into a curvy junior now. So this has me wondering if I can actually go shopping for clothes in the mall now. Years back had asked for a XXL, was told those sizes aren't even shipped. Then told only one XL may be in a box and that's it. So…

I'm only 5'7" and wear a size 14, but my waist is 12 at 162 lbs and I'm only about 5 pounds overweight. I've never looked at my pants size for a goal because I always been thick. Even in my younger years I was 119 pounds and wore a size 9. I think my waist back then was 28, now it's 31. My hips though now are 43-1\2", and…

I need to get back into doing that instead of listening to music. I was doing the same thing with an animetofu series, wouldn't watch it unless on the treadmill, so I was really anxious to get back on the treadmill. Other times though I do like my music to relax to.

Yeah. Like that. Not saying you would gain four extra pounds for every pound of fat lost. But the idea is a little bit like that. I'm not an expert, so I don't know. It's just my own theory and what I've read online. Either way it goes, something is going on because we look better yet have gained weight.

Just in general weight loss. If you originally had large breast before any weight gain then there's nothing that can be done besides surgery for breast reduction. Before my weight gain I was about a 32C. When I gained weight, I went up to a 40C. Lost weight and they went down to a 38\36-ishC.

I read that the extra weight is the water stored in muscle. Then there's also extra muscle - if you were to line up 1 pound of muscle to this length of fat, it would probably be 4 pounds (or so) of muscle for this single length of 1 pound of fat. So when this one pound of fat is gone, it is replaced with four pounds of…

Well it's not a diet. It's learning to eat in moderation during certain times of the day. Don't eat that third slice of pizza. Eat a small slice of cake, not a big piece. Limit junk food intake to once a day or once every two days. Try not to eat fried foods. Limit fast food to once a week. Eat a couple salads throughout…

I'm on the other side with this one because I'm fit and lean-ish and eat whatever I want and have people tell me they can't do that. I have to work for mine. I start off my day with a protein shake after 7 AM, then my job has me walking 10,000+ steps and lifting a couple hundred pounds a day to a couple tone. By the end of…

Academy Sports+Outdoor. They have all your major brands, but I prefer their bcg brand. It's a generic brand to NIKE and Under Armour at 3\4 the cost. I had sadly spent $50 on one pair of Under Armour tights. Then bought a bcg brand paying only $20. Same size and style. Lose a few pounds and the Under Armour tights won't…

Think the brand is called SummerRipe. It's a company in California that grows peaches, plums and nectarines, and this is a company who actually has scientists to check the sugar levels in their fruit. And if there's too little sugar, they don't ship it out. That awesome peach is so delicious and juicy, and is nothing but…

I don't worry too much about eating sugar. I don't over indulge and pay attention to how much I eat cause sugar is in EVERYTHING. Even if you eat healthy, sugar is in that too. I live once, so I'm not gonna worry about what in the heck actually goes into the stuff I eat and just try to eat as healthy as I can.

I love it!!!!!!!

Between one day to the next, I can fluctuate between 3 and 5 pounds. The day I weigh is Sunday morning and that's because I get the most sleep. So once a week I really get to see what I weigh. I've gained, but it's no big deal, cause I've lost inches in the right places. Gained in the right places. And my clothes keep…

That's right up my alley. All I could eat was sweets. I kicked the habit by eating nothing but sweets. The trick was that I weaned myself off of sweets. Took a couple of months, but now, years later, I have no problem with sweets at all. My shut off time for not eating is 7 to 8 PM. So if I were you will be to pick a shut…

I think you already have everything set on what you're doing. Main thing you need to try is get some workout time in. If you have any game consoles, there's plenty of exercise games for you AND the kids. There's Just Dance games for this kids that you can play with them. I have a treadmill and weights, but do workout…

A tip I do for measuring is a teaspoon to measure my food. Many labels say 2 tablespoons, or 4 tablespoons. And 2 teaspoons is one tablespoons. So if it says two tbsp. That's 4 tsp. And not heaping spoons either. And to move on from this. One tbsp is about 1 ounce. So now you know, roughly, how many ounces you're eating.…

Happy to see the workouts aren't chores. I don't take food for granite. I grew up poor with little food and the reason I was skinny was because there wasn't enough food. Now that I'm 33 and been married 15 years. I'm happy to have a choice to eat and what to eat. When I first got married I did binge on the foods I never…

The weight loss pills don't really work. The biggest issue is that they're expensive, and when you stop taking them, you expand again cause that is what was holding your body in. Not you. I lost 50 pounds without pills and it took an entire year. The big hype is to lose 10 pounds in 2 weeks. No. You need to find a formula…

Agreed. I'm consuming 2,400-2,600 calories per day and have only gained 2 pounds. But I've lost even more inches in my waist and gained half an inch in my biceps with a full inch in my forearms. I'm losing fat and gaining muscle. My scale hasn't budge since the 2 pound gain, but my clothes keep getting baggy and my waist…

Full incline on a treadmill for 30 minutes (or longer) 5 days out the week. You will have legs of steel. Some people say it's better to lift weights to, which lifting weights is good to add. But just walking is just as good for in general health. You can walk 30-60 minutes a day, even broken up throughout the day. But…

I'm in the same boat. When I first met my husband I was underweight, and it took me a whole year of doing nothing to finally gain 50 lbs. That's how underweight and thin I was. Then I gained just a tad too much, so I went on a diet, started exercising more. And it was then when he started turning hateful, started saying…

I agree to the start of an eating disorder. In my younger years I was underweight, but due to a lack of food around me to eat. And though I was underweight, put anything in front of me and I would eat it without asking what it is. The rule I grew up with was eat it or starve. Now, 20 years later, I'm still in that mind set…

That's me exactly. No fad diets and no exercise trend. I do the basics: weights, core and cardio. My goal is to be fit, thick and healthy. Another reason why I started weight lifting (aside from the fact you're supposed to for in general health.) Is that I was looking for a backup workout I can do sitting down come time…

Thanks. I'm you and others have come about the same problem and have found ways to work around it while still being active\working out. Many of the people I'm around, when they get injured, they don't do anything, at all. I also have equines deformity in both my feet which cause my Plantar fasciitis and my podiatrist was…
