It takes the body 6-8 weeks to realize that you're doing something to change yourself. It took me 8 weeks to see any difference. Stick with it. You body is adapting to what you're doing and soon you will start to see the changes. It may not be the scale. It might be your shirt is fitting better or you go down a pant/dress…

Take a dose of ex-lax and boom! Goal acheived! :-) Seriously...Congrats!

The thing that I've found with diet pills (Hydroxycut, Xenadrine, etc.) is that they're basically just a diuretic & full of caffine. That's why it says to drink 100 oz of water every day that you're on them. Thing that has worked for me is watch you're calorie intake and exercise. I know you've heard it all the time but…

My wife and I joined the local roller derby league when we first moved to a new city. Try looking it up. The girls are always so cool and it's like another little family. Plus, a crazy calorie burn during practice. It doesn't matter if you can skate or not. They'll teach ya!

Once a week. Naked. Morning. After the bathroom. Use it as a guide and don't put too much stock into it. Muscle to fat ratio will start going up and you're going to stay the same weight but everything will start fitting better. Go for fat percentage. That's way more accurate cuz it's only going to go down if you're doin…

Scotch and water. Hold the scotch.

Check your shoes. When was the last time you were actually fitted for a pair of good running shoes vs getting them at a big box store? Might also need insoles as well. Might get a refferal to an orthopediest to get a custom knee brace for you. Also, start taking a good quality fish oil to help lubricate your joints.…

As long as you're not obsessing about it. Use it as a guide but not concrete proof. What if you had a bit too much salt the day before you weigh yourself and retaining a little bit of water? Also realize you're going to plateau. I just got over a month long one. Got a bit sore about it but now I'm back on track. My trainer…

Welcome! You can do it. Just get into the gym and do something! Even if it's only for 20 mins. Little things add up over time. If you need a good workout plan, feel free to contact me. Do work!

I started it today. Just trying C25K out to build up endurance. You gotta run hard and give it your all for the 60 seconds your running! Anyone can do anything for a minute. Plus the 90 second walk is enough time to recover to get ready for your next 60 second sprint. Good luck & stick with it! Do work!

Stick with it! It takes the body 6-8weeks to figure out, "Oh snap! You're actually doing something now. Alright, let's start doin work!" That is your "reprogramming" phase. Then, on week 7-9 and beyond, you'll start to see improvements. Muscle tone is starting to show, pants start fitting better, etc. That is your…

Yep. Try some muscle confusion. If you've been doing 4 sets of 8, try 3 sets of 12 for 2 weeks. Then try a 12, 10, 8, 6 set x 2 weeks. Then go to a 4 sets of 5 with heavier weights x 2 weeks. Then 2 sets of 15 x 2 weeks with lighter weights. Think of your body as a little kid. Once it figures out what you're doing, you…

Yep. Geocaching is lots of fun. Like a little treasure hunt.

You can also look up strength training under the cardio search. Not exact but, better than nothing.

I'm from Tucson so, I feel ya on the hot weather. Try walking/running outside after the sun goes down. Higher heat = sweat = calorie burn. For indoor activities and can't afford a gym membership, use paint cans or water jugs to lift weights. Fill the water jugs with rocks after the water becomes too light. Do push ups even…

I was in the same boat. Did a flight of stairs and damn near got light headed. Need advice on a good workout plan?
-
Hey there! Best tips that I received from my trainer: Strength training before cardio. Weights burn off your carbs and sugar. Cardio for the good calorie burn. Works out each muscle group 100 reps through out your workout. i.e. 3 set of 12/4 sets of 8 for 3 different exercises Carbs are good. That's your fuel. Just get it…

This is what I've been eating: Breakfast: Fiber One Yogurt (5g of sugar vs 20+ grams in yoplait fat free), Banna or Apple Snack: Raw Almonds Lunch: Lean Cuisine/WW Smart Ones, Protein Shake Snack: Fiber Plus Chocolatey Peanut Butter Bar (Fiber to satiate the mid-afternoon hunger pang) Dinner: Proteins: Skinless Chicken…

Ha! Yeah. Had the same thing happen to me. Got em fresh outta the dryer and thought I didn't need a belt. Later on in the day, the fabric expanded as they cooled and I looked like a thug having to hold my pants up with my hands. Embarassing, but definite self high-five.

That's all you can do. It sucks, but it takes time and hard work. Took me 28 years to get to 260. Now I'm down to 220, 6 Months later. Hopefully another 40 pounds in 6 months lol!

Riiiight!

Agree with everyone. Isolated lean protein BUILDS muscle!!!! (As long as your working out.) Watch your fat, sugar and carbs. Simple carbs are good. That's your fuel. But you gotta burn that off! Do work.

Good job! Welcome to the club! Do work!

Bananas, Motrin, and more leg exercises. And no more milk! Lactic acid being released is what is causing you pain. Do your leg workout tonight as much as you can. Fight through it. Work out the toxins within your muscles. Do another leg work out 2-4 days later. My first leg workout with my trainer was on a Thursday.…
