I could not afford to pay him to be my trainer. I thought he made some valid points. I agree with you about me doing any type of exercise will show results since i haven't been working out in quite some time. I do feel that i need to add more muscle to my body and lose weight. Bottom line i will be hitting the gym hard and…

People like that motivate me more to prove them wrong. They get the slap in the face when you prove them wrong. Stay encouraged and you will do it.

so here is his verdict on why i should stay at a lower heart rate. Pretty much what we thought. We start to burn muscle after a certain period of time when we work out. First you burn sugar, then fat, then muscle. If you're heart rate is over the fat burning range you will use all the fat you have to burn quickly and then…

You look amazing. Great job

You can do it. It gets better as the weeks go by.

So i went to the website and it breaks it down on why you need a lower heart right. Think this paragraph explains it the best Heart Rate and Fat Burning Once you have depleted your sugar stores, your body has to break down other tissues, such as fat, for energy. Breaking down fat is not instantaneous; the body needs time…

I'm in. Been hitting the gym 3 days strong as of yesterday. Would like to spend the rest of October and all of November in the gym. Thanksgiving might be the only day i don't get it in at the gym, but i'm sure i can find something to do on that day.

I love i use to be fat and Chelsa Settles. I record them so i can get more motivation each week. I like to keep myself surrounded by different things that inspire my weight loss journey.

One step at a time is my approach to my journey. I started here almost a month ago on the 29th. I tried to exercise but with my out of control schedule i was failing at doing it. So i stuck to my logging my food daily and staying within my calorie goal. Now that i am getting a handle of planning my food i am now ready to…

Don't be embarrased. We are all here to lose weight. Some maybe 10 pounds and others maybe 100 and more. You are doing great by getting on the site and starting to get your weight under control. If you need support please feel free to add me. I'm trying to lose up to 90lbs so i'm in the same boat with you. Good luck on…

You two look amazing. Great success story and motivation!!!

Thanks so much for the advice. I love the bike. Your suggestions is exactly what i do. I try to keep at 80 to 90 rpm and do over 100 of and one for 2 mintue intervals. I have a free assessment with the trainers on Monday and plan to utilize that time getting to know the machines. I have horrible upper body strength and…

Thanks for all the good advice. I did go workout today even though they closed at 8pm. SN: That sucks

yes i received the free training. They didn't have any avaiable till monday.

I too live in an apartment and on the third floor. I do the workout in the morning or late at night and havne't had any complaints yet. I have only done round 1.

Good Luck. It will get easier as the days go by.

I personally don't use salt unless its already added to the food. Its just so much of the foods i eat are processed & that makes my sodium intake go above goal.

No not medical reason just heard your retain alot of water due to your sodium intake. I drink anywhere from 4 to 5 liters of water a day.

Thanks for all the suggestions and encouragement.

So I just finished day 1 of Level 1 on 30 day shred. Didin't do as good as i hope but i finished. I'm hoping tomorrow i will do better. Good Luck everyone. Now time for a nice bath.

I am also in the same boat, but mine has been 2 years. I was always big before i ever got pregnant. Good luck with your journey if you need a buddy please don't hesitate to add me.

I'm in as well. Purchased it today at Walmart.

You look amazing. Congrats on all your success. What types of foods did you eat if you mind me asking?

Thanks so much for the encouragment. I am going to start walking my son to the park. I'm hoping running around with him will help me as well.
