I would work on your self-esteem before getting together with a woman. Your self confidence is what will naturally attract females. You have to work on your self image just as hard as you have your physical health. That takes time, commitment, and work. I suggest picking up a few books about this...strengthen yourself…

I'm not expert but what has worked for me in the past is switching up my workout schedule to keep my body guessing. For example swimming, cardio kickboxing, and a body pump class (weight lifting) one week and then doing a dance cardio, circuit training (bursts of jump roping, burpees, squats, leg lunges, ect), and yoga the…

150 push ups were for one day..yeeeeah it sucked. I did that 3 days ago and I still feel stiff. :grumble:

My weight as of 2/17 is 157.8. I lost a little!! Yippee!:happy:

Wall sits are hard..lol! I agree. I actually had to do 5 minutes today..I split them up into one minute ones..I feel it for sure. That and I had to do 150 push-ups for the body challenge I am doing through gold's gym. I better frickin look good in a suit this summer...thats all I gotta say!!!

Thanks everyone! If you want to post any of your favorites please do so! It feels so good thinking we are doing this together :) Carpe Diem (Seize the day)! :happy:

Moli- Thank you for the site info. No, never been but it sounds great! I'll check that out tonight. I think it is a great idea on the topics of exercises and recipes Letty- I'm glad you came back to check in! We can all keep this going!

I meant recipes... darn auto correct..lol! :tongue:

You got it ladies! Once a week I'll put a couple of activities down to try. I would rather actually help people than overwhelm them for sure! And you may or may not do them...I know a lot of people can't make it to the gym and learning about stuff I can do at home is helpful to me. What would be helpful to me is if you…

I'm here too but your right so many people seemed to have dropped out. I have expected Alice to be more involved than any of us. She hasn't logged in over a week. Alice, we miss you!! Come back! I was really hoping others would post more exercises. I excel at lists mixed with a little support. At my gym I am a member of…

I am 159.0 lbs this morning (after breakfast). I seem to have reached a plateau with my weight so I am gonna try to change things up a bit this next week.

Just joined..so please feel free to add me as a friend. I appreciate the support. I am looking to lose 10-15 lbs this month. If I don't reach that I am hoping that it will show in body fat %. I'm pretty good with exercise..my downfall has always been diet so wish me luck! Best wishes to all of you reaching your goals!

Since I just joined the group this is my week 1 objectives :) 1) Drink at least 8 glasses of water every day 2) Decrease my sugar intake 3) Incorporate one yoga class a week in addition to my cardio and strength training. 4) Cross train at the gym 5-6 days a week with one complete rest day. 5) Lose 1-2 lbs or body fat.

Hello Ladies! My weekend is pretty uneventful accept for working out and getting things organized around the house. However, I did get asked out today from a guy at the gym so I am pretty excited about that. Its been a really long time since I have been hit on so I was really nervous at the time. I can put on a pretty good…

Everyone's advice is great! The only thing I would add is cross training and changing what you eat a little every day. Your body builds up a tolerance and you just don't get the results your looking for. You have to trick up your body and make sure you are not working the same muscles all the time. For instance I…

Thanks for the feedback ladies! Lily- wall sits are a great exercise you can do at home. I forgot about those. Yes they are very hard. When I was in a boot camp class at the college they made us do wall sits for 30 seconds at a time after running 4 sets of stairs. I thought I was going to die..lol! Running up actual stairs…

I did it!!! It took longer than the song though..lol. I had to play my next favorite song "Flaunt it"! Which is another sexy fun song. On challenge 4 I made it harder by lifting my butt off the ground when going from the bent knee to ceiling and then I would put my legs strait out in front of me without putting them on the…

Awesome exercises. I will pound these out tomorrow! I'll do it for the group! Anymore creative ideas let me know! Thank you Visionairess! :)

EVERYONE have a great weekend! Keep up with your goals! Stay strong!

Hello ladies! I'm going out with the girls Friday night! Yes I may drink a little but I am gonna dance my booty off! I'm excited because I hardly ever go out and since I am working so hard exercising and eating good every day..I am allowing myself that pleasure. Have a great day and weekend everyone!! Stay strong! Stay…

For me, I have noticed the weekends are harder to maintain my diet. When friends want to get together it is always centered around food or liquor. It is hard to bring your own food..not to mention rude. And it is very hard for me to drink water when everyone else is having fun drinking margaritas. Like captain and coke is…

Hi Alice and Brenda! My name is Lori. I am new to MFP and am looking for support! The name grabbed my attention because I have recently been trying to train to become a fitness instructor for Sh'Bam- a dance cardio workout and one of my favorite songs plus the dance choreography is Run the World, Girls! A year and a half…

I am new as of today as well. I would be interested in reading your story. How did you get started? What are you doing to help reach your goals? What are your goals? I can better support if I know your situation. For me, I had serious health conditions jeopardizing my ability to live the kind of life I wanted. It was…
