My weight is always up during my cycle. I've noticed that right before my period I go down then I shoot up around 2-4 lbs when my period starts and I don't go back down until 7-10 days after my period ends, which is when my fertility decreases (I can tell this using period tracker app). It's very frustrating. It's like…

I definitely think cardio is a vital part of being healthy! It's all about a good balance. I do as many Cardio days as Lifting and feel great.

I've struggled with this for over a year! I started couch to 5k and that slimmed me a little but I recently started a heavy lifting program (New Rules of Lifting for Women) and I have noticed a huge difference in just the 2 months I've been lifting! I think heavy lifting using multiple muscles (of course including your…

I recently got the DVDs to mix into my weekly routine and am enjoying them so far! I really like Chalene! I did Turbo Jam and liked her so much that I just knew I'd enjoy these. They are definitely killer workouts but in a good fat burning way!

Thanks kcfaber & Birdy_blue! I'm glad I'm not the only one having a hard time increasing the weight, at least it gives me something to work towards!

I am almost done with Stage 2. My last workout is on Thursday of this week and I'll be taking the weekend off before I start stage 3. I've had a really hard time with the squat push presses. I am using a 45lb barbell and initially could do the 2 sets of 10 reps but it doesn't seem to be getting any easier. I tried adding…

I think that you get comfortable with that person and it's not that you feel like you don't have to work out for them but you'd rather just hang out with them and relax.. My husband and I both let ourselves go after we got married and are now trying to look better than ever for each other.

I'm 5'4" medium build, medium-large chest. I am currently at 138 but having trouble getting lower. I am currently wearing dress pant size 6-8 which looks pretty good on me. I decided it's time to focus more on muscle mass and less on my weight. So I'm guessing it'll start going up once I focus more on lifting but my body…

You look amazing! It's amazing how much our face shape improves as we lose weight!

This is a great blog! I had wondered what others did. I also try to watch my weekly intake, therefore some days I'm low and others I'm high and at the end of the week it usually evens out. I'm not sure about the not tracking option because I feel like that would totally throw off the MFP summary that I use to keep myself…

Graduated in 2003 and weighed around 125-130, I am currently happy at 140 but hoping to lose 5 more.

I lost 20 pounds (from 160 to 140 - height also 5'4") at the beginning of 2011 and decided that was enough. Now after looking at your pics I've decided to try to go a little further! Thank you!
