I was just diagnosed with this yesterday. I thought it was heat rash or irritation from working out so much because the rash is in the area of my sports bras. Have never had this before. Anyway, long story short, I live overseas and saw a foreign doctor about it and feel there was a little communication failure. The doctor…

Great advice Meredith, especially the fuel your body part. I have to constantly remind myself to eat my calories back, at least most of them. I tend to get excited and happy if I see a large deficit at the end of the day, but I'm working out so much, I know I can't do that to myself. :)

Welcome Jacob! I am always looking for help and encouragement and want to do the same for others!

Those are awesome goals! I am about to hit 40 and am all about getting fit to do things in the real world, not just the gym, and not just to be thin/look better. Love hiking--don't get to do much of that here since moving to the Netherlands! Would love to follow your journey. It will be inspiring!

This is great to read, thanks! I was worried I needed to lift more weights to get better results, thing is I have good muscle tone, but it's covered in fat. So it sounds like I'll stay heavy on the cardio and do strength training 2-3 times a week. I take a lot of Les Mills classes and a lot of them include strength…

Working out in the morning always gave me more energy throughout the day. Definitely give it a try!

I do both, but mostly the gym. I get bored easily, so I do zumba, bodypump, x-co, bodycombat, pilates, yoga, circuit training. Lots of variety. Last week I played soccer and basketball for the first time. That's the most sore I've EVER been! If I'm at home and can't make the gym for some reason, I use a lot of the videos…

Oh! My projection is 153 in five weeks. :)

I really like this idea! Thank you!

Thanks for the responses! For some reason, I never received notifications that you guys replied! Seems you guys are correct and I've been keeping it off and am back on track. Thanks again! Love this site!

I forgot about Disturbed! Down With the Sickness would be great to run to!

I love "Remember the Name" by Fort Minor "ten percent luck, twenty percent skill, fifteen percent concentrated power of will, five percent pleasure, fifty percent pain, and a hundred percent reason to remember the name" Keeps me going every time! "Lose Yourself" is great too...and love "Dog Days Are Over" by Florence + The…

Awesome and inspiring! I hope I can get my husband on board too. :) Thanks for posting.
