Joining (late!) but I weighed in today at 156 (which is 18 lbs heavier than I was when I got married in Oct. - so I NEED you guys

I'm in - please add me as a friend :)

I just added you guys as friends - I hope that's ok! I just finished day one of week two (post training). I didn't do pre training bc I already have a regimen of high-intensity cardio and strength training. It was fine skipping for me! I'm supplementing Kayla workouts with my other usual classes, and am hoping to continue…

Thanks. Been in a healthy eating and fitness lifestyle for about five years and already understand these basics you've spelled out. Lost more than 50 lbs after college and have maintained for more than five years. Plus, I'm an athlete, so I have to know these basics to play well. My weight loss is less on the scale and…

My diary is open. 1200 is my target but I rarely stay within that because I eat back at least half of workouts and workout every day. Plus I'm on Whole 30 right now and you're technically not supposed to count.

Thanks guys - this all helps. My goals are twofold : 1) find out what is triggering my asthma and 2) to feel more energized and shed some weight

Love this group! Just climbed Longs Peak in Estes Park a 14er with class 3 areas and had to Boulder - I loved it!!

I can easily look them up online and create one myself. The fun part is having strangers in fitness challenge me!

On the right road! Down nearly 14 lbs toward my goal with 23 left! Whoop!!! Slow and steady and almost halfway there :)

Add me as a friend and check out my profile if you want to access my Pokemon Go workout challenge!!

I love this! What a fun way to connect with your family. Also to answer earlier questions, I use a portable battery pack!

I'm posting tomorrow bc I'm mad at my scale today. Fair?

Sleep and stress! When I workout so much and don't give my body enough rest - no sex is had. When I put too much stress on myself either about my body, work or social stress, I also don't feel like having sex.

Try smaller goals! You have to lose 5 lbs before you get to the rest of it. Time can be very discouraging if you aren't reaching what you hope for - I try to set weekly goals.

I'm 5'4 currently 140ish lbs and 23% body fat. My goal is 18% and I think that'll bottom me out around 115 - but I'll let you know when I get there, hah! Honestly it depends on your frame and your goals. Mine is whichever I get to first: 18% body fat, 115 lbs or a size 2.

As of today, I've lost a little more than 9.5 lbs in 22 days. More than 40 lbs lost since starting my journey. On Monday, I fit into jeans I bought when I was at my lowest weight ever. And my personal trainer said I look like I lost weight. I bought four new swimsuits to try on and I even went for a skimpy triangle top…

You aren't fat - you have fat. My tip is to love yourself - don't call yourself a fatty. Appreciate all the things your body does and can do for you. Get in touch with your body and reflect on how exercise and healthy eating makes you feel and forget about the look part right away - that will come. You have to, like other…

You're probably gaining muscle. If you've hit a plateau, you need to do something you haven't done before. So amp up the intensity and number of weekly workouts. If you're 5'1 and 139 lbs, you could probably cut down to 1,200 calories a day, too. But make sure you eat back half of the calories you expend working out. Also,…

What body part are you referring to when you say "kitten" ?! I only know that word to mean vagina as far as body parts go[/quote] Lol it corrects a-s-S to "kitten"

Been there! Sent you a message. I lost more than 40 lbs cutting out drinking and smoking. I'' now addicted to the happiness and energy my healthy life brings me. I'm proud of you from your post - I know that's weird coming from a stranger. But internalizing and seeking help for yourself, that's the biggest/hardest step you…

Setting small achievable goals are good! I'd start with 5 lbs at a time. Also, get yourself on some dating sites. Start doing coed group fitness classes. You have to put yourself out there and make yourself vulnerable. It's scary, but what's the harm in trying? So someone says, "No." Big whoop - that's one person. I'll…

For the *kitten*: curtsey squats, side squats, jump squats, suitcase squats, squat bar, leg press, deadlifts, thrusters, weighted lunges and weighted step-ups. I also use a resistance machine and bring it to ankle level, loop my ankle in a strap and put some weight on - step out a little from the machine so you're starting…

I totally feel for you. You recognized and admitted it, which is good. You are pointing out some of the subconscious that drives it, which is good. You've stated how it makes you feel when you do binge, which is good. What helps me is to portion my meals out daily, to keep unhealthy foods out of site and have a few healthy…

I added all of you! Hope that's ok!!

Lead by example! The best thing my mom ever did for me when I was an overweight teen was to take me to the gym where we both enrolled in the membership program. She made it a voluntary thing - we took a tour, learned the machines with a trainer and then she asked if I wanted to join. And I did! We went every other day…

I needed to read that. Thank you for sharing.

I'm really proud of my progress this month :smile: My goal for the end of June is 138 (and I'm on track to hit it)! And my ultimate goal is either 115 lbs, 18% body fat or a size 2 (whatever comes first). Here's my progress: June1: 151.5 June 8: 146 June 15: 143 Down 8.5!!! I've been working out daily (which is what I've…
