I'll add you! We're pretty similar I weigh 225 & need to drop the same exact amount as you. We can def help each other out

I know it may sound dumb but can anyone teach me how to read the machine? It's a lot different from other cardio machines and it confuses me :neutral:

@nutmegoreo @sgt1372 @riffraff2112 thanks guys

I tried rowing today and loved it. I focused on my form intensely for the first 5 minutes and then I pushed out another 10 minutes. I didn't get bored with it! I think I found a machine I love. Thanks everyone for your help & replies.

@riffraff2112 I have been out of the gym due to a car accident. The treadmill hasn't been successful for me in my many tries. I feel like the rowing machine will be better for me. Hopefully I will enjoy it

@nvmomketo thanks for your insight. I plan on starting tomorrow to see how it works out for me. I have watched videos on form hopefully I will be able to do it

I see what you are saying and I already stated I have to work on portions. However you are not @kommodevaran and can't speak on their behalf. What they said did not seem to be helpful questions in order for me to succeed it seemed to be more judgement than anything else.

Thank you, eating smaller portions is also my problem as well lol. Cooking smaller amounts is a great idea that I plan on incorporating, thanks again.

@curves2j congrats on the 72lbs, I'll keep trying with cardio and lifting and see how it goes for me

lol I think I'll keep doing cardio and strength training

@piperdown44 congrats on your 35lbs, I'm working on cutting calories and I'm doing pretty good with that. Today at the gym I incorporated cardio and strength training, I have hope it will work for me as it did for you

@pondee629 thanks for the link, I can try the home videos out when I can't make it to the gym

@grantcfitpal Thanks for your input. I read on a lot of sites and they said it was a good combo but I can see your point, I'm still trying to figure out a routine

You're right, I should focus more on the positives rather than the negatives. Thanks for your help

Thanks jack, so far I find this app to be very helpful
