  • The planet fitness locations that I have been to in new mexico and florida have squat rack. I haven't been to one that has a minimum of 4. I use them to do squats and deadlifts. I have been a member for about 4 years now. I totally agree about the whole bagel/pizza being ridiculous. But I like going. I use the gym 4 or 5…
  • Oh my goodness thank you so much for all the tips. I want to try to do some push ups right now but I am at my practicum. I will have to try some when I get home.
  • @TavistockToad Man I wish I was bottom heavy. Then maybe I would have myself a nice big booty. I am. 5'7 133.9 lbs Hips 38 Waist 30 Chest 38 Thigh 20.75 Arm 10 I have lost inches in my waist, thighs, and arms. It is just so slow. I need to be presentable in a swim suit and shorts this summer
  • Ok so I am gathering that I could do an incline push up off of a weight bench? I am a little hesitant to try that just because all the weight benches are located where the free weights are. I feel embarrassed. I am really hoping that I can manage to do this soon. I also cannot do any pull ups. @galgenstrick Yes I am eating…
  • @TavistockToad I do eat at a deficit. I have been on a low carb diet for 2 months. I went from 155 to 133.9. I work out 4 to 5 days a week. I am wanting to shift my focus on building more muscle and tone up while I work on getting to my goal weight of 130.
  • March 28 133.9 I am going to try to shift my focus on really building some muscle. I still want to lose another 3 pounds but I also desperately want to tone up. I have lost some inches. I just don't have those available right now.
  • I am sure there is some kind of AS in it. I drink it when I work out because the trainer said I need to consume protein after I workout. I have to force myself to do that because I am not one who typically eats anything that early. But I choke about 4 oz of that down.
  • I went from having severe headaches and migraines on a daily basis. I also have more restful sleep. In the past I would wake up numerous times a night. When I am not complaint that will be reflected in the way I feel and how well I sleep.
  • @Sunny_Bunny_ I know that in some ways it is good that I have the desire to eat throughout the day because in the past I did not. I too definitely look at the calories. I have done a lot to increase my fat which as proven to be challenging for me. I have added foods in my diet that I did not eat in the past. I do now…
  • @Sunny_Bunny_ I think it is strange as well since most say is curves the appetite. I didn't make it to the gym this morning so I didn't drink a protein shake. I was literally a walking zombie this morning. I took 4 oz of my boyfriends coffe, one tbsp of MCT oil and two tbsp of heave whipping cream mixed it all in my ninja.…
  • I ate all the Robin eggs last night. I just couldn't resist. Bad thing is I actually thought about buying more. But I am not. As long as it is not in the apartment I am ok. BUT that is the least of my worries. My boyfriend brought home girl scout cookies. My favorite thin mints. It is a constant uphill battle for me.
  • @Sunny_Bunny_ You know it seems like I have more cravings since I started using the MCT oil. I find myself wanting to snack now when this wasnt the case before I started using it in the mornings.
  • @slimzandra I actually do both hardboiled eggs and plastic eggs for my kiddo. Of course I am not going to pass up the opportunity to color eggs with my little man. We actually do two egg hunts. One we do with my boyfriend before he goes to work and then the other one we do with some friends who have a daughter my sons age.…
  • Oh my goodness. SO much information. This is can be very overwhelming. I struggled with the idea of buying the MCT oil, putting it off for weeks. Now that I have actually broke down and bought some, I am struggling with the idea of using it. I do know that when I bought it I was feeling very sluggish for days. I did notice…
  • I believe that is what mine says. Is that bad?
  • 5'7 SW 139 GW for challenge 136 Ultimate goal 130-135 March 1 139 March 7 139 March 14 137 March 21 135.5 I am surprised I didn't gain weight this week. I did not stick to my diet completely. My boyfriends daughter stayed with us. She is a vegetarian. So we made food that she would eat.
  • Planet fitness does have dumbbells. I have been using them.
  • I go to planet fitness because it is really inexpensive and what I can afford at the moment. We really have very little money for extras. I do not like the idea of using the machines but that trainer said I should start there until I can learn the right form. I wish there was another trainer available at the one I go to…
  • Now I am confused. SHould I not be using the MCT oil?
  • I just won't take it anymore.
  • Maybe I am in the wrong group. I need to be stronger all around. Like my entire body needs help. Maybe once I have built some strength.
  • @Christine_72 No I havent tried either one of them. I never thought that I needed to. I did notice them today when I was talking to pharmacist about my symptoms. He said it sounded more like gas. But I told him I took beano and gas-x for several days before I tried something else. I will have to check into them. I am very…
  • @Sunny_Bunny_ the protein shake is sweetened with maltodextrin. I can go without it. I only drink it in the morning after I work out because the trainer said I need to concume protein post gym. WIth that being said, I think it is also important to mention that I will not be able to eat anything in plae of it. I cant even…
  • @KnitOrMiss I was prescribed Voltaren which is an anti-inflammatory. After I consumed more than the recommended dose of kombucha I reduced it to 2 oz. I last drank some yesterday. I couldn even drink more than just a few sips of my protein shake after I worked out so I did not try to take anything else. @Sunny_Bunny_ I…
  • @Sunny_Bunny_ KnitOrMiss recommended a Fizz vitamin mix to me because I told her how difficult is was getting for me to take all these vitamins. I purchased the D-K2 calcium one. This would be one of the last things that I added to my diet next to the kombucha. Did the vitamin mix cause any of these symptoms for you? I…
  • i use splenda when I drink hot tea but that is not often. The magnesium just says magnesium 250. I havent taken any of my vitamins in the past 4 days because it is too uncomfortable to drink that much fluid at one time. I am literally an overblown balloon just waiting to pop.
  • Thank you everyone for your responses. I ended up going home and taking the laxative. It took hours plus glycerin suppositories to get anything moving. Then it wouldnt stop. I was up and down for hours before I finally just got up to get ready for the gym. 20 minutes after getting up I started feeling really bloated again.…
  • @sucampbeN Thats kinda what I thought. I do not mind using the machines when I am just running through the circuit which is more often right now because I am at least doing a little here and there. When I asked him about helping me with my abs or core, he responded with I do not do those. I was like ok maybe you dont have…
  • I can only do one regular one and 15 women one. I know that is sad. I just keep trying to add more and more..
  • Yeah no no. I did not mean to imply that you couldnt get constipated just because you do not have a gallbladder. Almost everyone in my family has no gallbladder. They eat and it goes right through them. I do know that my meds could be causing this. Some of them could cause one or the other. I will go get me some tonight.…
