When I was following a keto diet before I definitely could tell a big difference in how I felt. I slept much better and had fewer headaches which says a lot because I struggle to get sleep and I have chronic headaches/migraines. I just couldn't maintain it longer than 6 months. I am trying a different approach this time.…

I do the strong curves exercise program. I ordered the book off amazon. I really do enjoy participating in the routines because some of them are unorthodox (unlike) any exercises I have done in the past. I have to be cautious with the type of cardio I do because of my past fractures. I like using the elliptical and arc…

With the exception of the last 2 weeks I pretty much follow a LCHF diet. I found that decreasing the amount of carbs I consumed made a huge difference in my weight loss. I have to work really hard at increasing the amount of fat I eat because the meat I typically eat is very lean. I primarily eat chicken, fish, and ground…

I have been doing the strong curves workout for the past 3.5 weeks. I have suspecting that I will get great results from those exercises. I have had some really good progress for the last 3 months. So it is apparent that I am doing something right. :)

5"7 GW 130 May 4 128.4 May 9 129.4 My weight has been flucuating just a few pounds or two. I am really happy to report that I have lost several inches.

i am not necessarily tring to lose more weight. My goal is to not gain any major weight during this month. I have lost a few extra pounds that i am prepared to gain back but nothing beyond that. 5'7 origninal SW 155 Goal Weight 130 May 4 128.4 I am okay with gaining back the 2 pounds to equal 130 because I do not want to…

@ressapowell I do some of these exercises right now but I am definitely interested in doing the others. I googled all of them. So I know what they all are.

My boobs shrank significantly. I went from 155 to 131. I have bought 2 different bra sizes during the process. I went from a 36DD to a 34DD. I know it may not sound like much but it is. Plus the 34DD looks like they are a little big now. I do not plan on losing much more weight. My goal weight is 130 but I am satisified…

@ressapowell I ry to make it to the gym everyday.. But on day I do not make it I would like to try all these.

5"7 SW 155 CW 131.3 I stayed the same weight no matter how much exercising I did. This included what I thought was a healthy diet. It wasnt until I cut back the carbs significantly that I started to lose weight. Iwent from 155 to my current weight in 3 months. Now I am not so strict with my diet but I still keep track of…

5"7 GW 130 April 5 131.9 April 11 131.1 April 18 131.9 April 25 131.3 Looks like getting to 130 is going to take some time for me. I cannot seem to break through the 131 mark. I did do measurements this morning. I did lose some inches so I am happy with that. I am actually content with the weight I am at now. I tried on a…

@sk1982 You could definitely be right about that. I was really trying to focus on them. DOing the single leg glute bridge is where I feel my glutes the most. While performing other exercises I try to focus on what I am doing and take my time while I am doing every move. I have 1.5 hours to spend at the gym in the morning…

@hill8570 My foot is weight bearing. I wear a boot on it at all times except when I am in the gym. I was doing low impact cardio before I went back to the doc last week. Once he told me I had to wear it for another month I thought it is best to eliminate it all together. Planet fitness does not have a row machine and none…

My rest days are usually unplanned rest days because something has come up that prevents me from going. On days that I don't go I feel sluggish.

5'7 April 5 131.9 April 11 131.1 April 18 131.9 My boyfriends daughter came to stay with is this weekend. I cheated on my diet so much. Every time she comes I blow it. I am surprised I didn't gain weight.

@tiffanylacourse the book was about 23.00 on amazon. I am doing a couple of the exercises while I read it. I won't lie. Some of it I am just skimming. So far it is very interesting.

Thanks everyone. I do plan on reading the entire book because I love to learn new things. Its just I do not have a lot of spare time to read this book when I already have to read read and read for school. Plus do homework and write papers. I graduate in may so I will have a lot of time to devote to this learning process. I…

Okay so the itching happened again the following day but not near as bad. My only guess is that it was caused from all the stress I was under or an allergy to something. I have been taking my allergy medicine and my anxiety medicine every day since. Man it was crazy. My poor boyfriend.. I had him checking the entire house.…

I cant take benadryl because that stuff makes me feel like I took speed. I took my prescription allergy meds and my anxiety meds. I read it can be caused from stress. I will make sure I pay attention tomorrow of everything I do. This has never happened before. So stress could definitely be a factor considering the semester…

@ladipoet I did read about that. But I do not have any of that stuff that I am aware of. I need it to stop. I was digging at my head so bad in school. I would go into the bathroom to flip my head over so i could scratch the hell out of it. I swear it is worse than lice. My poor boyfriend checked our apartment for bugs…

When I asked both of the docs(ortho and podiatrist) they said that it was from exerting oneself too much in a new activity. But even that doesnt make sense. I am not out there going crazy. But I will admit that I am not the most knowledgable person. That is why I have kept it pretty in the past. Only here recently have I…

@BZAH10 I fractured my knee about 1.5 years ago. I have no idea how I did it. It started hurting and I didnt think anything of it. Then it got worse ad worse. x-ray showed nothing. It wasnt until I had a mRI that I found out that it was fractured. It took forever to heal. I ended up have to get a bone growth stimulator to…

You and I both. It is getting much flatter but there is still that little bit. I will never have the stomach I want.

@MyFreakingNameIsScott Yes it is a stress fracture. I am definitely the type that tries to push through it. I know I need to folllow the doctors orders. I fractured my knee 1.5 years ago. I did not follow the doctors orders at all. It took like 10 months to heal. I stopped going to the gym during this time. So I had only…

My 10 year old and I go walking or jogging. On days he doesnt have football practice I have him doing a few exercises at home with me. nothing much though. I live in a shoe box so there is not much room to do stuff. I cannot wait until he can go to the gym with me. As of now he is asleep when I go.. But on the weekends it…

@aggelikik The trainer at PF is supposed to be available for black card members. You are able to sign up for different time slots that are dedicated to different muscles and you are able to sign up for individual program development. Signing up for the time slots can be inconvenient if there are several people signed up…

@aggelikik When I have approached him in the past he has acted like it is an inconvenience for him to be talking to me. I have expressed my interest in the past do to some exercises with the free weights. He has discourage me from doing this. He says I need to use the machines until I have the form down pat. But I do not…

Oh I am committed. But I have to use someone elses car when I am there. two summers ago my aunt slept until noon. SO i had no problems taking her car. This past summer that wasnt the case. When I mentioned luck I meant luck in finding someone to help me.

@chunky_pinup there is no gym because I go to an anex of the main college. @MelissaPhippsFeagins I cannot get my boyfriend to go to the gym with me. He doesnt care what he looks like. He thinks he looks fine. I use to ask him to go but I got tired of the no's. The other day when my son and I were doing ppushups my son…

I did not realize I had that many until I went through them. It is not always finding 36 DD or 34DD unless you go to a high end store. SO when I found them I bought them. Especially if they fit well. I would buy one in every color. I do not have a washer and dryer at my apartment so we have to go to the laundry mat. A lot…
