  • I was on Zoloft for about 8 months and it really helped with my mild depression/anxiety. But like others have mentioned I had a really hard time with low sex drive. I was also on the lowest dose possible. I recently decided to get off the meds because of the low sex drive. I've been off for 2 months now and have been…
  • Hi ladies, I fnally made it to the gym with my hubby for my 6B workout. I sucked at the deadlifts with the olympic bar. I've been doing these with 40lb dumbells (I'm pretty weak and tiny only 5'2")...so the bar alone was easy at first, so I increased the weight to 55. I did good the first set. The second and third were…

  • I'm 5'2" and am 117 (small frame). Although I'm now concentrating more on losing body fat so that my belly can tighten up. I have been slightly increasing my calories. I'm now at 1400 and usually eat back my exercise calories so that puts me at about 1600-1900. Some days I'm hungrier than others...I just listen to my body…

  • I've been doing my workouts at home but need to go into the gym tonight since I feel I have been short changing myself on the squats and deadlifts. My only problem is that the gym we go to is super crowded in the evenings. Especially now that summer is around the corner. So I don't know if the equipment I need to use will…

  • I also have a wider waist and narrow hips and tend to carry fat in my waist area. I'm hoping that will be the last to lose. I also dropped a cup size as I've been eating better and losing body fat (I hope). I have always disliked my thick waste, but I have since focused on other areas of my body that I'm loving. Now I can…
  • Hi ladies, I'm kinda new here as well. I just finished B4 last night. I love the program so far, but I don't have access to some of the equipment since I've been doing this at home. It looks like I may have to head into the gym to finish out this stage. This is what I've done so far, I also have a weak back so I've have…

  • Hi ladies, I'm excited to start Level 1 on Monday. I plan to do a few weeks at home before I enter the gym. Unfortunately the only time I can get to the gym is when it is super busy plus I want to feel more confident. My hubby usually goes to the gym with me on Wednesdays so he can help get more familiar with all the…

  • I'm new to MFP, and learning how to count calories. My ultimate goal is to be toned, whatever weight it takes me to be there. Right now MFP has my calorie intake at 1,200. I also eat back most of my calories burned and I tend to average my week at that goal (some good days and some bad days in between). I may increase my…
