Thank you. I appreciate it. I know I'm not the only one who could read his comments that way.

Haha! True that.

Nah, not lashing out. Just not being a doormat. Do you unpleasant people just go around every thread like this?

This is very true. I'd say I do a 50/50 mix....time to take it all the way back to basics for a bit.

And Brianperkins all it took was me looking at your hyperdefensive bio to see that you're not here to help others, you're here to be a know it all and attempt to make others feel stupid. And call out their grammar, lol. Unfortunately you missed the point; I asked for advice BECAUSE I am not sure what to do. I am not here…

Thank you so much for this. I am in agreement with all of those who mentioned a trainer. I apparently don't have what it takes at this point to understand the actual mechanics of HOW I'm messing it up. And a trainer would make that variable disappear completely, and save me a lot of injury it sounds like. You're absolutely…

Thank you for understanding <3 You're absolutely right. The first time I got injured I thought it was a fluke, but it's happened three separate times (and three different body parts haha! I am a mess) so yes. It's my weak body trying to do too much. I really think a personal trainer would be the MOST beneficial thing right…

Thanks a ton!!

Is this a video program? Where can I find it? More info!!! And thanks so much!

I totally understand. See that's why I like the gym, I like doing my own thing but being around others hwo are also kind of doing their own thing.....you know? That might not make any sense. Haha. Anyway, I think I'll keep the yoga to videos at home, and maybe take some other class (because I do like classes now and then)…

Uh oh, he's calling out my grammar. Big tough guy.

Very true. My chiro has given me exercises and stretches to do in the past, but he's also pretty irritated at me because I don't like any of the advice he gives--running barefoot, not using the elliptical (something about it's an unnatural gait) my mindset has always been to just get up and do SOMETHING because for years I…

I've never heard of it!! going to join now!! Thank you :D The yoga teacher was new. It was not an advanced class. But as I said above, I've had many issues with yoga classes, and I've tried multiple (5 different) yoga centers, male teachers, female teachers...some were more or less "know all these terms in other languages…

Thank you for this <3 The thing is, I've tried going to yoga multiple times, because I know that my lack of flexibility is a problem. That class just stands out as one of many failures. I am self conscious as it is, due to my lack of mobility, but I'm unfamiliar with yoga terms and yoga culture as a whole. And if anyone…

I'm lying? LOL. I think everybody here can read and understand that's exactly what I've said. And unlike you, they offered concrete steps on HOW to get proper form. You're pathetic man. Go somewhere else with your attitude.

That's awesome. I would love to see that routine. And yes, that's what I'm learning. The problem is, you get into that research mode where you watch all the videos, and I've literally heard youtube trainers say the exact opposite things in regard to form and posture. It's...difficult. I'm one of those people who goes…

The amount of smugness on this site, I always forget about it. Haha. Go run and preach somewhere else. I post saying "I don't know proper form" Your response "Learn proper form" Genius. Why aren't you running the country?!?!?!

Thanks for the reply. Since I've been injured I have been focused on bodyweight exercises which is probably where I should have started. I will focus on that for now and look into selling a first born for a personal trainer. And what I meant by 'beast mode' was essentially that I zone out and hit all the machines and go…

Yeah, I think this is as valuable as it gets. I've already learned that youtube trainers can only tell me so much (and they all say different things anyway, go this low for a squat, don't do this exercise it's useless, etc etc) Time to work some overtime and save up I guess....

Thanks for this. I really don't have the money for a personal trainer but, I should definitely find some way to cough it up. I don't think that my youtubeing is really doing much good. It's just so many things to remember--and I have thyroid disease so my memory is bad to start with. But the thing is it doesn't ever hurt…

No *kitten*, sherlock....

I don't know how you feel comfortable with yourself at night, having such a disgusting attitude.

oooookay I'm blown away with the disrespect I'm seeing here. Jasmineboyle -- don't take the naysayers to heart. I was married to an alcoholic, my father was an alcoholic, and yes, I was ADDICTED to sugar and felt every single thing you're feeling now. The two stimulants are different and they cause different reactions, but…

To sleep.

Cut it out.

She definitely has a badass vibe :D

Coconut oil is extremely good for your health. It has so many benefits and should be on your list of foods right next to eggs, butter, and avocados. Fat foods do not equal fat on the body!! Throw out the canola oil and replace it with coconut oil. Again, it's not a cure. It's not a detox. It CAN stimulate the thyroid for…

Salt has nothing whatsoever to do with blood sugar. Do you have a glucometer? If so I find it hard to believe you don't have a BP cuff. They're like 14 bucks at WalMart. Check your own if you think going to the doctor is too drastic. But like others have said, internet strangers aren't going to help. Source: I'm an EMT

Empty carbs. I sure do miss my mac and cheese, but I don't look pregnant anymore so I got that goin for me.

Bodyweight exercises are your best friend! You don't have to have a fancy gym or anything. Look up simple techniques on Youtube. Best exercises for beginners would be THE SQUAT!!! <the holy mother of all exercise lol. Just try bodyweight squats to begin with. Technique is the most important thing. Pushup <try one, rest,…
