I am with other people on this as well....get a heart rate monitor....

I am in the same boat....I'm 45, really started focusing on what I was eating, made it a point to exercise a heck of a lot more, and it is not coming off as fast as I would hope. But I know that I am on the right track. Stay with it.....keep moving....we'll get there together! :flowerforyou:

I'm with her...and don't hate me. Trust me...I know what you are feeling...I know it sucks....you don't feel like moving...that sometimes blinking your eyes is a chore....I really do know. But even if you do something...perhaps it is not a full fledged workout...you go for a walk or take a ride on your bike....something is…

Nothing to be embarassed about....those are wonderful results! You should be proud! :happy:

It's expensive...but boy is it nutritional.

I have been doing the raspberry ketones for a couple weeks...I have not noticed a difference as of yet....but I heard it takes a while.

First of all...I hope that you will be OK after all of your health issues are dealt with. Second...yes, if you watch what you eat you can loose weight. Congrats on loosing the 7 pounds....but more importantly I hope that whatever you are going through...you will beat it. All the best to you!!!! :flowerforyou:

Normally I have been doing cardio first and then strength....but today I tried the strength first and then the cardio....for me I burned more via cardio and had more endurance to muddle through cardio. It really is all up to what you are comfortable in doing. :smile:

Getting a heart rate monitor with a calorie burner counter is your best bet to get an accurate reading of how many calories you are burning.

I am very sorry to read your post.....I hope that soon you will find your way back to a place in which you are happy and that you are able to smile again. Please do not let this overcome you.....unfortunately it is a part of life.....it is a learning experience....but do not let it break you in any way. Here is to better…

Do you have any advice for women who are 45 years of age....who has had two lower back surgeries...who is trying various exercise plans in order to see some tangable results to her efforts. Not seeing much weight loss over the past few months....not real inch loss either. Any advice that you may have will be helpful and…

Unfortunately this is a subject that I know all to well. I have had two lower back surgeries....I recently had a scare that I would need a third....Luckily it turned out not to be the case...but that was the last straw for me and decided to get in shape. Leslie Sansone's Walk at Home programs are the best. She has a number…

I don't see why you can't do the program.....but I found something that she is involved with that I like a whole lot better. It's the Biggest Loser Cardio Max and Power Sculpt DVDs. Both men and women are in the workout. There are three levels...each level you do for two weeks. You can see brief excerpts of the videos on…

:smile: Like many that have posted on this thread....I know what it feels like and be discouraged. You are doing everything correctly....watching what you eat...exercising...getting enough rest....and you see nothing. I have been there....actually I am still there. But you cannot give up on yourself. Like some have said it…

I found that this site is very helpful for holding yourself accountable for your eating habits. It is right in front of you...right in your face. In time when you see everything that you have written down it hits you. If your goal is to drop some weight and get healthier...you have come to the right place. Like Scorpiorir…

Feel free to add me as a friend if you'd like....congrats on joining MFP...welcome to the journey! :happy:

If it is between Insanity or the 30 DS....I would pick the 30DS for your Mom. However I must admit that while in the process of doing the 30DS....I picked up the Biggest Loser Cardio Max and Power Sculpt DVD workouts and I enjoy that much better. Still have Jillian....she still kicks your butt....but I am leaning towards…

I can't jump rope either....but the invisible jump rope routine is something that I have also seen in my workouts and it really does get your heartrate up....so yes...jump! :smile:

Having two back surgeries with a scare of a third....that is when I finally woke up and decided to do something about myself

Chocolate chip cookies and cheesecake are my two weaknesses....and how do I stop from eating them? I don't have them in the house. :sad: It's sad...but true.

I am right there with you....:drinker:

Welcome to the journey! Feel free to add me if you would like. I'm in SC...you will find a ton of support here! :happy:

C'mon.....you can do this. It appears that you have an important day ahead of you that you are working towards....look at that as your prize. :happy:

It's actually closer to 30 minutes...between the warm up and cool down you are pushing 30....27 minutes to be exact. But whose counting????

You can add me if you need support as well. Welcome to the journey!!!! :happy:

Welcome to the journey! Feel free to friend me if you need support! :happy:

Please do not get discouraged.....I am in the same boat. I have been on this journey since January and have not had any real weight loss but have had inch loss. Keep up your good work.....don't let it get you down! :flowerforyou:
