"SWEAT PLUS SACRIFICE EQUALS SUCCESS!"

planks have really helped my jelly rolls.

yeah, my scale fluctates too. i step on it three times and settle with the last number.

i did it years ago and lost 30 pounds in a short amount of time, but gained it all back once i started eating real food again in a short amount of time. it's so sugary that it always made me feel on edge.

i'd gorge off of cake. lol. ahhh,maybe in another lifetime.

I was an emotional eater too. A junk food night person. Doreen Virtue's book, "Constant Craving," completely changed my outlook on it. She has a lot of helpful exercises you can do and positive affirmations. I highly recommend the book. It's helped me tremendously.

warm baths and epsom salt have been my lifesaver and i do strength training 2-3 times a week. you can also try giving yourself a massage, like really punching into those muscles to loosen them up! :0) of course, you can get a professional one, but that might not be feasible to do after every workout. also, sitting in the…

I want to go out dancing. I was also thinking about gettting a tatoo to signify my success.

i also have bad knees but i'm training for my first 5k. warm, salt baths help me as well as flax seed oil--it helps out my joints. you can always try speed walking and then work your way up to a steady jog when your knees feel stronger.
