I'm not sure anymore b/c I have definately lost muscle over the years. To be fair I only started recently weight lifting so I know this will happen if you don't lift. In HS I was 118 - 125 lbs and 5' 2'' which was fairly comfortable and I felt thin. There were days I would feel like if I lost 5 lbs my pants would fit…

Yes...I am curious...hmm. I remember when the media got hold of a Tyra Banks in a one piece swimsuit that was really unflattering. Then she had show about it and said basically you can kiss my...if you don't like me :) She's awesome!

It's from 2007, can't figure out how to post a picture. I dont know where I was when this came out but, WOW!

Sad...are there any trainers on here ? This is all I found: http://www.livestrong.com/article/76934-calories-burned-lifting-weights/ I am sure if varies quite a bit by how much weight you are lifting and which muscles you are using. I guess just consider it a bonus! I briefly looked at this link but eeeeekkkkk,…

Agree! I HATE CHICK PEAS (blaaaaaaaaahhhhh)!

I struggle a bit w/ sweets but I really agree, someone mentions above, moving helps. You don't have to run a marathon (unless you want to), a short walk helps w/ my cramps quite a bit. I get fatigued a little quicker that usual...but it passes and I feel better than if I was sitting on my butt.

I was wondering the same thing. Curious if anyone has an answer. ?

I have had a desk job for 10 years. When I started, I was thin (and 21 yrs old). I put on some weight a couple of yrs later. I now however, realize why. It mainly started when I began a serious relationship w/ my bf. I was dependent on mom of cooking. I didnt really cook, per se. He cooked a little. We ordered a lot of…

You look great! Nice to see all your hard work paying off. I will consider checking out her DVDs soon. I heard they are very tough!

I have heard muscle doesn't weight more than fat. A pound is a pound. That being said, muscle is more dense than fat so someone could be adding on muscle under the fat. Plus what everyone is saying about muscle retaining water when you use them. I have heard this. I have never done 30DS but when I start working out steady…

Too funny!!!

These stories and words of inspiration are much appreciated!!! I feel better, thanks ladies :)

Ditto...I have been walking down the street and if a bee is nearby, I have honestly run into the street. Not smart I know, I try to be better about it but I am very afraid of them. I have never been stung.

I am new to the boards. Anyone here use weight machines ? I typically can drop 10 - 12 lbs in 3 or 4 months w/ healthy diet and exercise at home (I walk and have a stationary bike). I dropped about 14 lbs from the beginning of the yr thru May but gained about 9 back :( I am setting a new goal this time around to lose…
