@aganey Thanks a lot! The fact that you're here means you're on the right track! If you have a hard time with the little ones, you could always try at home exercise. :) My mom does that now and it works great for her! Depending on the age of the little ones, you could get them to do it with you too. The "never two days in…

Thanks! I definitely have spent a ton of time in the forums just browsin for stories like mine too, and taking inspiration from others too. You'll have a story up here, I'm sure!

I lift 4 days, and go to cardio-based HIIT classes for 2 days at the gym. Sometimes I play soccer and hike too. I always have one dedicated rest day where all I do is walk.

I had enough confidence to post my success story today.

Hey all, happy tuesday. Cardio: 60min soccer 8v8 Strength: none, rest Assessment: turkey burger and asparagus for dinner. Pulled quad during warm up and still played, despite pain. Probably shouldnt have. Played much better this week, but still rusty on movement and taking shots.

You look so strong and healthy! Congrats!

I always love seeing threads with other stats to compare. Helps me fine-tune my intake to myself. :) I'm 5'3" and weigh 143 currently. I started at 170 lbs and have eaten around 1500 a day to get to where I am this time around. Trying to get down to 135, but mostly aiming for 20% bf, where ever that is. I'm active 5-6 days…

Ate like *kitten* while I was camping over the weekend. Felt pretty guilty but back on track today even though im up 4 lbs on the scale. Went to the gym today to do my usual workout and get back on track. Some of the staff chased me down during my warm up that i look great and they're super impressed with my progress. You…

I'm thinkin' "Are those my muscles? Why is everything so heavy? Damn, that one guy is hella strong." When I see a new gym-goer or someone overweight I think "Good for them! I was there too. Should I say something? I hope they stick with it."

Hey all! Thanks for all the encouragement. :) We lost the game pretty bad, but I played a lot better than I expected, and I've been invited to permanently join the team! They have one more game, then take a break til Feb, so I signed up for another league on sundays for the time being. Yesterday's stats (got busy): Cardio:…

Hiya! I'd say it's completely dependent on your body and the effort you put in. However, remember the closer you get to goal weight, the slower it will be. I'm 5'3" and started working out 5x a week on 6/23 starting at 170.6 lbs. Unhappy with my results, I started a low carb diet on 8/9 at 167.8 lbs, and pretty much cut…

Today, my friend invited me to her gym (UFC gym) to take a boxing conditioning class with her. I got so sweaty, it was like I jumped in a pool! But, more importantly, I was one of the more physically fit and conditioned people in the class surprisingly. It's great to know my normal workout routine is working so well!

Have a great saturday, everyone! Cardio and strength: Boxing conditioning class at a UFC gym. Mostly bodyweight exercises and rounds on the bag.
