I honestly don't know whether or not it's ideal to weightlift alone with no cardio, but cardio does have incredible benefits, regardless of your side, age or goal. Even as little as thirty minutes can be so good for the little things you never even think of. I, like you, can't run for hours on end, because I simply don't…

Regardless of what one of the previous posters said, it DOES work. I have a picture on my profile of fifteen days of progress. I only lost a few pounds but I gained a little muscle, a lot of stamina and trimmed a couple of inches. I am absolutely going to begin doing it again, hopefully through an entire thirty days, too!…

I can relate with some brides here - I too just became engaged on December 23rd! (At Disneyland, no less!) My wedding is June 21st of 2015. :) Looking to lose at least forty pounds and get in shape, as we are marrying at and honeymooning at Yosemite National Park! I look forward to the next year/two years with you ladies!

My wedding is June of 2015 and I have a similar amount of weight to lose! You've got a friend in me! :happy:

I think this is some of the best advice I've seen on this website and it applies to me as well! :wink: :flowerforyou:

Semi-Charmed Life by Third Eye Blind. (: 90's girl right here.

Thank you for sharing your beautiful journey. You look incredible and your story made me cry. So glad you stuck it through!

You're close to my current and my future goal! You look amazing, doll!

It's so difficult when most of the people around me that I work with and interact with daily are slim and lack the same issues! I'd be more than happy to take this journey with you. :smile: I'm so happy you're getting the opportunity to work with a trainer today! My tennis coach has been acting as one twice a week for…

I would be so happy to lose between 5 and 10 pounds. Losing the first few is always the hardest for me so I need to really kick it into gear with a small goal! :smile:

Thank you! :happy:

Being told I'm pre-diabetic and wanting to feel comfortable in my skin! :happy:

There is a group that hikes the same trail my best friend and I do every weekend. They're an Herbalife support group; they hike together and do exercises at the top. They were very nice and informative about it, and showed us several before and after pictures. They definitely lost a good amount of weight, and seemed…

Riverside here. And can't wait to get AWAY. :laugh:

Rude. Also, I do not find it to be cheating. The fact of the matter is, yes, you will lose weight quickly through surgery. It is STILL a matter of changing your lifestyle. It is NOT possible to eat the way you did before and keep it off, whether through surgery or working it off. The journey to the loss might be different,…

Girl, I am 23 looking to lose around 45lbs! We should definitely be on this journey together. :smile:

My mother's friend insists that wrapping saran wrap around her midsection for four hours a day caused her to lose weight. My mama was ecstatic and wanted to try it. The woman forgot to mention that she was only consuming 500 calories a day. :noway:

That actually makes perfect sense, thank you! I didn't realize that the TDEE method was to not eat back the exercise calories. It would literally be very similar then. :laugh: I will definitely check out the link, thank you so much for your input.

Thank you! I will definitely have to call up my gym and ask if they have it - otherwise, I can probably talk to my boyfriend's best friend. He's a personal trainer and has the same equipment (and spent all Christmas bragging about it!) :laugh: Don't know how I didn't think of that before. Thank you for the suggestion.

I like to call it "FITSPIRATION"! :wink: :happy:

This ..

Thank you for this. :heart:

Studly!

Beautiful skin and eyes! :flowerforyou:

I'm not your size but I am so happy and so proud of you for taking charge and making a change! :heart: :flowerforyou:

As a sidenote, I get asked that all the time and it's apparently because my default "blank slate/no real emotion" face looks angry. :laugh:

Frankly, I think if you're attracted to men or women of a larger (obese or otherwise) weight, you're attracted moreso to the comfort level because you're fat too, because it's less threatening. In example, if you got to your goal weight, are you sure you'd still be attracted to your "heavy, burly" man? Or were you…

The smell of Subway is INCREDIBLE. I could sit there and smell it all day. I'd love if I could walk out smelling like it. :laugh: I get a footlong turkey on honey oat with extra light mayo, spinach, cucumbers, salt and pepper and provolone cheese. :bigsmile: I eat the two pieces separately, not for one meal.

At age ten: "Wow, you have a really fat double-chin." In the last four years, I have received plenty of criticism from my 280+lb grandmother (once upon a time, she was very slim and beautiful). "Can he even see what's going on down there when you have sex?" "You should wear those pants, they look so good on your figure"…

I am asthmatic myself and I read earlier, in regards to running with asthma (as that has been the primary reason I haven't started running - my asthma is easily triggered) that bringing your inhaler with you (no brainer) as well as covering your mouth (when it's cold, really - it shields you from the sharp air that could…
