I agree 100% it is so easy to encourage loved ones and others to love themselves. When it comes to our own self image, we don't see what others see, instead we look for faults. I am a victim of my own mind, as I am sure that many of you are as well. I am trying to find things about my self that I like and focusing on those…

I agree with kale...I also gained in the beginning due to muscle gain. Don't worry it will come off but I would stick to eating at least 1200 cal. I put myself on 1000 calories a day for too long and it did more bad then good. Still coming back from it. Just keep it up, if you aren't eating pizza and cookies with beer…

I found personally that my body is on a natural IF schedule. When I started eating "right" I gained an excess of 20 lbs. When I listened to my body and found that I am only truly hungry in the evening after work. I eat reasonably until I am no longer hungry and repeat the following day. It comes naturally for me.

I personally started with an exercise ball between my back and a wall. It helps support your torso down and back up without worrying to much about ruining form. Just a suggestion of course. Now I can go to the floor, and back up without assistance.

Hair or no hair, that is the question. Lol I personally don't care if its long, short,shaved or non existent. I'm attracted to personality rather than just looks. And yes that goes for bellys too. Put it this way, if I can look at you all day but hate to hear you speak that's a HUGE turn off.

Its a beach body work out with Shawn T love to hate this guy. I'm enjoying it though

Happy Monday! I did 25 weighted squats. Day 1 done :wink:

Truth be told, I hate squats and lunges. My balance is terrible and spend most of my effort trying not to fall over. I am hoping that the more I do the more I will appreciate them. I'm looking forward to March and the new challenges

Hello all :) I'm still getting the hang of checking in. Everyone sounds good and motivated. I made it to the gym today and started T25 on Monday... Long story short is I barely made it through but pushed to finish. Every little step will eventually take you a mile! Keep up the great work

OK. That makes it a whole lot less confusing! Thank You :smile:

I'm confused as to what I should be using as a protein \ meal replacement post workout. With so many things on the market, I am lost! I'm not looking for bulk but I want to build up muscle and burn fat. I don't eat much throughout the day and I know its hurting my results. I just want a good solid shake that gets it all…

I started today as well. I thought I was going to die, I modified when I couldn't keep up, and even stopped a few times but I finished! Onwards and upwards! Please fell free to add me, I'm always happy to make new supportive friends :smiley:

Love this! Thanks for the video :)

I need some advice on my workout schedule. I started working with a trainer who is 15yrs a bit younger than me. He gave me a list of things to do on my own, worked me through it, and sent me on my way. Today I am stumped as to what I can do next since he kicked my assets yesterday and every major muscle group is screaming…

Did a crazy workout today! Lots of weight and ridiculous cardio...legs are rubber but I know I left the gym doing everything I could. :smiley:

Hello to everyone! My name is Mandy, I'm 34 and have two wonderful boys. After my birthday I noticed that I started gaining weight until I reached a weight that I hadn't seen since after I had my youngest who is now 11. I went through denial, anger, and now I'm ready to kick my butt back into shape and make lifestyle…

Please add me as well. I'm in!
