Yes. Quest for strength. Aesthetics are a welcome side affects. Most of all I crave to feep healthy. This is a journey towards permanent lifystle alteration. One day... one day when I love doing weights, I will come back to this thread and post the progress :) All you guys are bloody awesome. Thank you.

:D very nicely said. Yes everyone starts somewhere. I am certainly not doing this for others. I get fit for myself. Speaking of form : I am learning much from the videos but I still will hire a trainer for a bit until I make sure I got it. Better pricey than sorry :) Your story is awesome and good luck getting back in…

Nerdfitness.com has terrific starter bodyweught exercises. I can totally avoid the grunting men of the gym and do this at home :) This is awesome. Thank you.

It makes much sense. Matter of fact today is the second day doing weights. And I graduated from 5 lbs to 10 lbs and then my arms went kapoot so I quit before injury. Tomorrow off and day after I will start small and incrementally move upto 10 lbs. Will see if I can get in 15 pounds atleast 2 to 3 reps. This is very…

Oh @kerryokerry LOLLLLLL.... THIS US BLOODY HILARIOUS. Made my day :)

@kshama2001 I used to be at my school. After graduating and moving couple cities, I am gym orphan :D I hit the gym in my apartments. Almost always cardio. Today, I did very basic 5 lbs bicep and tricep curls to warm me up to the idea of weights. Thank you!

Ordered the book on Amazon :) On its way :) Thank you!

My trainer knew that I was nervous about trying it and actually sent me a text about 15 mins after I left telling me what a great job I had done. I love my small "bro-gym". Lol[/quote] I need to find my bro-gym and a trainer. On the hunt after travels. Good luck :)

My rotatir cuff had an injury playing tennis. It is totally fine now but I am a bit fearful to do anything that might hurt. The MFPs posted some of the books I could begin with. Will get started on them. Thank you. And Gold luck to you as well.

Wise words. I am looking for something that will tone my muscles and give soem definition. Have to explore and experiment with the type of routine I would enjoy. TRX training and bodyweight routines are something I will explore. Never been into weights and will see if personal trainer will change that attitude. Thabk you…

@arditarose and @usmcmp - These programs sound awesome. I am in beast mode @ reasearch. Thank you so much.

Indeed. I realize the importance of strength training. How do I get started ? I check youtube videos etc.. but I never even feel like going personap trainer route. Same time dont want to do things wrong and injure myself.

WSU! I am from Seattle. Add me. All the best with the project and your goals. MFP is a great place to be.

Feel free to add me :)

MFP as a lifestyle for when you reach your goal. Cheers.

This is my Day 6 in this streak. I cannot agree more. Every bite I take, it gets logged. Adding you. I love more friends who are upbeat. Lets do this. Cheers :)

I suck at strength training. Can do cardio any day. Have to break the block.

Congrats. MFP is the right place to share this ride. Hop on :) Good luck. Cheers :)

Rug gets cleaned now eh ;) (Pun. No offense intended :smile: ) Educated Skepticism and Rudeness have a very thin difference. Often it gets lost in transition of tone of voice. My learning is that the forums and messages and posts are excellent. Except, the tone while typing may not match tone when reading. It happens and…

You already did it once. 50 pounds is NO joke. Now you can do this. Again. This time perhaps for good. GOOD LUCK :)

Congratulations. Losing for the wedding is awesome. But I think, staying healthy and lean should be made into lifestyle. My attempts are work in progress. Good luck :)

Exact same sentiment @ Facebook. First thing in the AM I do my daily MFP checkin. 3 tiny goals for the day. Read my friends' posts and progress. Get pumped. Then, make bed. Get up and start the day :) Cheers. PS: sent you an add request.

I love Broccoli with vegan alfredo sauce. If you know nutritional yeast, you can make vegan alfredo sauce with it. Google recipe for it. You can get it in Whole Foods or even order on Amazon. Broccoli florets steamed, one table spoon of olive oil, pepper corn, and this vegan alfredo sauce (which is not much calories and…

MFP allows you to make your own macronutrient goals. This is set as my daily macro goal. It is terrific that we can set these goals and see this ratio everyday in MFP for our individual diary.

Not scarmbling for "what do I do for breakfast?" Especially when running to begin the day, and knowing my breakfast consistently helps me with not making poor choices. I always do good with BF and Lunch and **** Dinner. Work in progress. Good luck.

My breakfast is usually a protein and greens and veggies smoothie. Under 350 cals.

Veganxpizza, I go through phases of BED. I am a vegetarian. Have always been. I dont do milk but I binge eat chocolate. I used to eat 2 boxes of double stuff Oreos. Mind you that is 60 cookies with stuff inside of it. And I would eat it all in one go and go on a sugar high and get sick. Yet do it all over again. There are…

I look at all my friends diary every day. Actively follow up, comment and message. Lets do this. You can add me. Cheers :)

AshiaJade, My goal is to lose lose exactly 40 pounds. Let's do this together. Cheers :)

Likewise. Please add me too. Cheers :)
