Wonderful. Thank you so much.

Lol I see that. Thanks.

I only saw that for certain foods, not all. Do you have that feature for all your foods?

Thank you all for the informative responses. I'm meeting with 2 different coaches this week to see if they are a good fit. I appreciate your sound advice.

But not too much salt, yeah?

Although I've spent many years in the gym next to those heavy lifting men and women, I've found that they are some of the nicest people in the world. I have many male friends in the gym, and through the years we joke, encourage, and support each other. I'd encourage you to see those strong, committed weight lifters just…

I was a personal trainer the entire time I was pregnant so I worked out with weights until three weeks before my delivery. My daughter was two weeks late so essentially I strength trained up until my due date. I found it really hard to do anything after four months pregnant that contained impact, so I didn't do any running…

I have not read the other replies but I have major back problems myself. When I'm in pain and on meds I don't do any exercise at all except walking. The best rehab exercise when you're off your meds in my opinion is swimming. I would avoid deadlifts and anything that's super strenuous on the spine.

I'm currently using the beach body 21 day fix program. I'm just coming off a serious back injury and I think it's a great way to start up with simple resistance training . Plus it's only $60.

I'm using beachbody's 21 day fix DVD's and having a great time with them. I think it's a smart way to start with light weight training. I'm coming back from a serious back injury so these workouts are great for now.

I've had a lot of success with creatine too. I like it best when it's combined with the glutamine product. I tend to build muscle very easily so I don't take it all the time.

I agree with ndj. You are prob overtraining if you're that wiped out. Try scaling back a bit and see how you feel. You can check your resting great rate in the morning to see how you're recovering.

I'd love to be a triathlete but unfortunately I'm addicted to weight lifting......

Thank you for the encouraging words, everyone! I'm off my pain medicine and back to working out today. Fingers crossed!!
