  • @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…

  • 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'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!

  • 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!
