I would go for it. Every little helps. You will still improve and built muscle but it will be slower.

I can see why people don't recognise you. Congratulations, this is so inspiring! Thanks for sharing and the words of encouragement!!

I can see a huge difference. Your belly, back and waist look a lot smaller to me. Well done!

Yep, I agree. Have the soup and the steak. Sharing the soup is a great idea. Just imagine: You don't have the soup but you crave it......You'll end up binging on other things, which might be far worse, because you didn't satisfy the real craving. Doesn't matter if you go overboard today, you can make it up tomorrow. Just…

15 pounds weightloss is huge! Well done!!!

I'm nearly 50 years old, never tanned, because I burned once very badly. Even though I often wished for that golden, sunkissed skin, I never got it and faking it wasn't good either. I came to love my white skin. But now, being older I reap the benefits from not tanning: Hardly any wrinkles and lovely, fresh skin for my…

First try to find a park or something similar to run in, so you don't need to watch the traffic. I put my favourite dance music on when running and pretend I'm dancing in my mind. I still make sure I can hear my surrounding, sometimes you have to watch out for dogs wanting to play with you and other distractions. Then just…

It depends on your feelings. Are they still any? Do you respect your ex-partner? Are there children to consider? Do you date other people out of spite? Have you found somebody new, who you really like and want to start a new life with? There are lots of questions to consider. But basically, it is your life and when a…

I read a lot about "Cherry Active" helping people with gout. I personally take it on a daily basis, it helps with my sore muscles after a workout. I also had an inflammation in my digestive system, which cleared up after I took it regularly. Good luck and all the best.

If you have a heart rate monitor, you can log it under circuit training.

Just promise yourself that you can stop at anytime without feeling guilty. That takes the pressure away. Even Shaun T struggles at times.

Just finished Cardio Power and Resistance. I love it! It's such a challenge! I do the same as you, I try to do a bit of every exercise. Some I have to adapt, as my strenght is not there yet, but I won't give up. At the moment I do it at least twice a week, as I started to have a bit of knee pain. I will keep at it for as…

Ha, that's what I thought, you look absolutely fine. Really nice actually. So, If you feel happy within yourself, don't worry. Just keep doing what you are doing. Confidence is feeling happy in your skin.

I wouldn't worry so much about the number on the scales. The calculation of BMI is just a guideline and doesn't apply to people which are muscular. I'm one of those people whose weight is quite high, but don't look like it. My bones seem to be quite big and I'm also quite muscular.. I'm looking in the mirror and how my…

I think your husband might be jelous of mfp. The time you spend on here is the time you could be spending spoiling him...... Also, subconsciously he might not like that you're getting slimmer and sexier therefor more attractive to other men.

Happy Birthday!!! And congratulations on reaching your first goal. Have a lovely day!

My personal trainer told me that you start losing your cardiovascular fitness after one week and your muscle mass after two weeks of inactivity. But once you get back into your exercise you will gain it back faster than when you first started.

Hi there, I started running 3 years ago. I never ran before and it took me a very long time to achieve anything. I first had a lot of pain as well, mine was what they call shin splits and my calves were killing me. The best remedy for those tight areas is stretching after warming up for a bit and then a long stretch after…

I just finished my first week of Insanity. My fitness level is moderate, I do a bit of running and very little else. So I thought this would be a great challenge. I also have about 60 pounds to lose and I'm in my forties. As many of the exercises are a bit to hard for a beginner, I adjust them. I do them slowly, only doing…
