I experienced the same thing when I first joined...I got with a trainer who showed me how to use the machines..You don't need to hire one to receive instructions on how to use the equipment..it comes witht he membership For arms..there are soo many machines...depends on your goals.

When I have cravings or "mental hunger: ...I drink a bottle of water 1st..if I'm still hungry I will have a light snack (Jello, salad, or popcorn). If that doesnt work...i chew gum

I'm a low carber..add me :)

My friend lost about 20 lbs in 2 months which is awesome!

My friends laugh @ me when I take the bun off the burger and just eat the toppings. I think its a knowledge deficit that makes them respond the way they do. Don't worry about it..do what works for you..thats all that matters!

Hot Sauce, pickles, Diet soda..did i mention hot sauce??!

try atkins snack bars...they are low in net carbs and carb your sugar cravings!

Yesssss i hate it!

Bump for more! I went to long john silver for my mom..they offer grilled salmon and veggies! under 6 carbs for the meal if you skip the rice!

Nope but i will try..thats for the recipes ladies!

Yep..on easter I had a tbsp of dressing...and guess what..next morning ..the stick didnt change colors!

My fam is from Paducah! I visit often

Now thats a NSV!! congrats!

Invest in a good HRM its worth it!! then you have no worries or let me downs!

Thank you guys! I purchased a Trek 7000 . I was fitted for the bike and test rode the display and loved it! My bike should be ready by the weekend! I hope the weather is good to me. Is 40 bucks too much for padded shorts?

Mcdouble no bread oatmeal w/ raisins only chicken breast patty (grilled)

Agree with ^^^^....whats SOOO unhealthy about reducing simple carbs/sugar intake and increasing protein and fiber? All the experts..do tell... The OP said "low carb 50 and under w/ High protein" not NO CARBS

I experienced the same thing the 1st week I was low carbing. I'm finishing up week 2 and feel great! I treat myself to Sugar Free snacks such as jello and candies--this helps me thru the withdrawl period! Stick with it...you will do fine.

Thank you all for responding! My sis and I had a blast at the bike shop today! We put a deposit on the bike below...what do you think? Good choice? http://orlandparkcyclery.com/product/12trek-7100-wsd-72943-1.htm#.T4n_HGnVvrM.gmail

I used to feel that way...but when I signed up this time for a gym...I was ready and focused..I wouldn't care if there was donkey and sheep on the treadmill or eliptical..As long as they are minding their own business!! I'm there for me and me only..and I'm going to do what it takes to get in shape! I say this to say...if…

I will talk to the specialist at the shop about spinning for pointers..I truly want to preserve my knees! Thanks!

I will pick up another helmet too! I'm super excited about tomorrow! The weather here in Chicago will be upper 70's with some showers...I have a 26 mile bike path behind my condo which leads to the lake. I walk the path often..can't wait to take that ride!

Good advice! a comfy seat is on the top of the list in the morning! I'm stopping by the bike shop after the gym

Agreed...I tried the C25K training program and it killed my knee in little over a week! I concluded running isn't for me but I remembered my passion for cycling. I havent done this since college but I'm willing to embrace it again. I have a helmet from long time ago..I would never ride without it!

@ Leester..that makes me feel better..When I exercise I have knee pain..I just dont want it to get worst while I'm miles away from home. I'm thinking of using the stationery bike @ the gym for a week before riding again.

Bless you for this

My sister is a lesbian and so are 2 of my friends...I never felt uncomfortable...I'm straight as an arrow but I dont want every man that comes in my path so I'm sure it's the same with gay/lesbian individuals. Just do you and forget the rest!

I burn more calories while doing plyometrics with my weighted vest than without..almost 30 more!

Absolutely right, I have no clue how to do this and neither does my sister..thanks!
