I bought 15 lb weights, and "men's" ankle weights today, so i can do abductor/adductors and glute kick-backs with up to 20 lbs on each leg. My wimpy ankle weights maxed out at 6 lbs. Getting back on the proverbial "horse" today was a commitment to investing in more weight, since i'm doing 4 sets now, and could easily do…

Ps, I did not say KITTEN. Translate that into another two-syllable word starting with P. Bloody language police.

Form is very important. If your gym has a personal trainer (--ask what credentials he/she has, and make sure they didn't come from a Cracker Jacks box--) then have them give you a 1-hour training session on correct form. If your gym doesn't have one, you can find one in your area by doing a google search, and just let them…

If you're still not ready to walk into a gym, watch some videos on beginning lifting, read some books, and buy some 3 and 5 pound weights, and get started at home! The strides you make will encourage you to go to the gym at some point, if you want/need to. Cheers!

I lift weights, and if i can easily do 10 reps then the weight is too light. For most of women, you CANNOT bulk up unless you're doing steroids. If you look bulky because you put on some muscle (--good work if you did!!!--) then it's probably because you need to cut calories and lose fat. If you don't like softball-sized…

Uh, totally false. But if i ever watched it, maybe i would be. Does this thread have anything to do with fitness? TNP stuck to their diet today and did not cheat AT ALL.

Ps, this morning i could feel my glute muscles. I have no idea why my hand was on my butt, but nevertheless there it was, and i have GLUTES. Not just butt fat, actual MUSCLE. If i can do this, ladies, so can you! Every little bit counts. Now, put down that cheesecake. LOL!

Aww, thanks so much! Sorry i'm late replying to this. Dawn, you can do it! Vegan: just be sure to do your research, so you're sure you're getting adequate nutrition. My first two go-to books were Veganomicon, and Vegan Planet. Very informative. And get yourself some Red Star Nutritional Yeast. Guaranteed B12 in that, not…

Thanks so much! It helps so much to know there's a community here. If you're working your abs, and you can't feel them, they're under...hate to say it...fat. You can lose that! Cuz they're IN THERE! You have to be really strict if you want to see results fast. You'll see them eventually if you're less strict, but not so…

Go, China! You can do it!!! Put a bunch of motivational photos and affirmations on Pinterest. When you don't feel like eating right or working out, look at your motivation board! i KNOW you can do this! The trick to losing weight is that you have to, have to, HAVE TO count ALL calories. Write everything down, even when…
