I couldn't decide so I joined both! My YMCA is less crowded, smaller and my favorite personal trainer is there to give me free workout advice. (that's a plus AND a minus!) , but it doesn't have many classes, the membership I picked doesn't let me use other YMCA's also and there's no pool. My second gym is LA fitness, I…

I'm in!

Realizing that the people who told me I lose close to 200lbs. and if I worked hard and lifted heavy, I would have no saggy skin, and to give it time.. Lied.. but.. I'm... Keeping hope alive as I tuck my triceps into my bra and my tummy apron into my socks... :grumble: :laugh:

^^^atitudes like this Great??? Yeah cause Bush had us riding high on the hog those 8 years he got huh!! Smh.. Think I'll tell my friend who trashed her credit for 10 years to go to financial counseling and when he tells her she has to make an arrangement to pay back what she F'd up.. Blame him for not making her debt…

Yes it does. I heard about it's health benefits somewhere and decided to give it a try... I was NOT a regular person. Once I started it I about fell on the floor, by weeks end I was not only regular but that bloaty feeling I had all the time was gone. It must work partially like a natural diuretic. I didn't even feel…

I gain, oddly enough though when I take ACV regularly, I don't seem to have that issue during that time.. I'm more concerned with the feeling that my uterus feels like it's about to fall on the floor and squash the urge to hold my crotch as I walk.... For a reference, I would probably just weigh..

I didn't read everything and so I hope I'm not repeating and not offending. I know exactly how you feel but trust me, Thats not the way to go, If you have the mindset that guys aren't talking to you because of your size, when you lose and get that "hot bod" you will still be miserable because you question wether he loves…

That Yoga pants make everyone look good!! *note to self..run and buy yoga pants A.S.A.P.!!*

I just lick the sidewalk after it rains and count it as food for all the nutrients I pick up in addition.. :)

That I will become anorexic. Even though I'm more than 100 lbs. Overweight still, my relationship with food is disfunctional. I have to put myself on a forced schedule to eat, and make myself eat enough to keep my metabolism up. That no matter how much weight I lose, In my mind I will always be fat and therefore always…

<<<Mine....

I just hi ponytail it. My head needs to breathe!!

Thats what I was thinking.. A slippery slope into unhealthy eating.. Usually the unhealthier a food is the more calories it has.. Easy excuse to fill in 1000 cals with ice cream or some other small portion food thats packed with calories.

For some reason reading this brought a question to mind... where do eating disorders come from??? What would make a person try to harm themselves to the point of starvation? Why would anyone feel they NEEDED to do that?? Why do people have trouble "eating enough calories to maintain weightloss? Why are they afraid of…

^^^^^^^LOVE!!!

Not understanding why Turkey bacon isn't real?? I eat it.. if it's the only thing i eat, I will still poop.. so based on those scientific facts, it has to be real!! I used to like the other stuff but now it's much too salty for my tastes except on pizza.. Not that I eat pizza because I'm on MFP to be healthy and the health…

^^^this is awesome!! I never could decide on a 'goal weight' this really helped! Thank you! I can't wait to have my LBM test next week now!

Can my goal be to be 6 foot tall!! tall chicks soo rock!! I'm only 5'8 but i put on 6 inch stilleto's and feel like I rule the world!! sigh.. my she-roe's!! LOL!!

^^^^This might be really good for strengthening my core and getting me used to sitting "chest up".. I think I would have to deload down to just using bar for this. I might give it a try tonight a couple times with my weighted exercise bar. Thanks..

Im actually using a thumb over bar grip.. I can't seem to get good potioning with my wrists otherwise. The bar sits in my palm. I try to keep my elbows up but that increases my feeling of tipping/rolling forward. I'm trying to upload my video now, i may need to take a new one where I step out of the rack. it really…

I have a protien shake in the morning, It was just the powder and 1% milk, then someone suggested I add a tsp of coffee to it. I don't know if it's the same thing but OMG it is sooo good!! Now the OP suggested a tsp of instant, but I boil a lil water, about 1/2 cup.. soak my coffee in it for a min, place filter over my cup…

I actually think my hip drive is pretty good, even doing a good job of gettingat least parallel.. it's just that dang roll up the neck when coming back up.. It's my shoulder flexability most likely. I'm trying lowbar but I don't think it's low enough or staying low.

I didn't know you could post videos here! How? where?

Your boobs are bigger than your stomach now!! Looking good!!.. :grumble: ... ummmm ok.. O my fav was an old uncle who goes wow, you used to be ((( this big))) <<<< he used open wide arms to signify how big I was.. gotta love the "impressions" of you...
