  • From my last weigh-in yesterday, I need to lose about 20 more lbs. I have tried multiple workouts, and most recently I have been just running (pulled a muscle in my chest so I had to quit lifting and doing push-ups for a little while). But I have done Insanity, P90X, and just regular cardio stuff over the past year and a…

  • I did try that a little bit. I like swimming, but unfortunately I'm not a strong swimmer. :-/

  • I've been going through the same thing with my friends and co-workers. I just have to remind myself that my weight loss wasn't easy, that I earned it... and I have no reason to apologize for it. I like being skinnier! I try to be as encouraging as possible to my friends that say they want to lose weight, but I just keep…

  • I have always had the same issue with working out, which is why I used to avoid it. I feel exhausted and like I need to eat the pantry after I work out, and it takes a lot of self-control not to take a nap afterwards. I have started trying to work out before I have to go somewhere, or before I go to work. This has kind of…

  • That is helpful, thank you. I have tried all different kinds of working out, including P90x, Insanity, Zumba, Yoga, Pilates, Jogging/Walking. I try to integrate everything together so I don't get bored... but after a while, everything just kind of runs together. As far as food, I try to force myself to have a splurge day…
