I'm sorry to hear everything you've been through. I was just diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in September and I'm only 34. Ive been doing chemo since October (every 2 weeks) and have one more session on January 25th. The first 2 months were exhausting for me. I felt fatigued all the time and wasn't active at all. When…

I have to agree with a personal trainer. When I first started going to the gym the only machine I knew how to use properly was the treadmill. A personal trainer will show you how to use each machine properly and how much weight to use for each one. And they will show you other exercises you can do using your own body…

Feel free to add me! It's always good to have more friends to keep me inspired and motivated!!

leg press and lat pull. Everything else I like is using my own body weight including TRX, it's definitely my fave!

Most of the workouts I do are body weight with handweights as well. Push ups Plank squats walking lunges bicycle crunches Russian twists walking planks (plank position with elbows on the floors, switch from elbows to hands and back) Burpees wall sit hip thrusts leg curls I could go on and on.... Some inexpensive equipment…

Always give your muscles a day to rest if your in that much pain. On your rest days be sure to do stretches or else the muscles will stiffen up, maybe even try some yoga. After a week or two of the exercises your muscles won't ache as much. But always remember to stretch!

I've gotten most of my recipes from pinterest.

Wow has been that long?! Man time flies! Lol

Any type of artifical sugar tastes disgusting in coffee...just my opinion. Try coconut milk if you're looking to cut back on sugar

I don't drink it anymore but when I did and trting to cut back on my sugar intake I used unsweetened coconut milk. It's sweek enough that you won't need to add sugar in my opinion and I loved sugar in my coffee. If it's not sweet enough for you just add more!

Bahahaha! I was just about to add you....we're already friends!

I completely agree. Getting a gym membership is the best thing to do to experiment with what you like and don't like before spending $2000+ on home equipment. After having my gym membership I discovered that I actually prefer using free weights and TRX and for cardiovascular I bought myself a high quality treadmill. Again,…

33 and looking to lose 20lbs. Feel free to add me. The more support the better!

Oh wow, so many to choose from, Thanks guys! I'll have to test them all out!

Add me too if you like. It's Alot easier with friends to support you along the way!

Exactly what I was gonna say

I've done insanity before. It was INSANE! I remember the first day I put all I had into it to find out that was just the warm up!

The time it takes. I have very little patience when it comes to wauting for what i want! The plateau which i havent hit yet but because i have less than 20 to lose i suspect it coming! Oh and eating out and the will power it takes not to dive in and eat all the Red Lobster biscuits!

I've been on here for almost a week. I want to lose 18lbs and gain some muscle. 18lbs might not seem like much but the less you look to lose the harder it can be so feel free to add me!

Summer always seems to be the hardest for me too with all the bbqs and cold alcoholic beverages. Feel free to add me!

I'm an Ottawa Valley girl, now living in southern ontario on the St. Lawrence

Hey! I've switched over from ww too. Feel free to add me!

Hey! I just started up yesterday. Ithe would be great to have friends on here for support!

I'm new to mfp too. I did ww in the past successfully and lost 40lbs. But since the program changed to points plus it doesn't seem to work for me. I will lose 2lbs in the first week and stay steady or gain through out the program (I've tried 3 times now). In the ww community chats Alot of people talk about mfp so I thought…
