Pack yourself snack packs of good items...nuts, grapes, baby carrots, edemame. Keep yogurt handy for the sweet tooth. When it seems like things are more difficult, try to calculate how much you would have to workout to cover that item...that usually makes me realize it's just not worth it. Another option i have found to…

Started: 5'5" 244lbs size 20-22 Now: 5'5" 222lbs size fluctuates between 16-18

Not to make you feel bad or anything but I just looked over your diary and noticed that on Sunday you had 3 desserts with dinner. How can you expect to lose any weight eating that way? Being 17-18 yrs old, you need to stand up for yourself and say something to her. You can do it respectfully and still get your point…

How can you say it can not be done in real life? Did you not watch the show? He did most of that on his own, without the trainer, with massive things going on in his life. Yes it is harder for a 49 yr old to lose weight than a 29yr old. Watching that show made me realize that whatever I have going on in my life, there is…

It is hard, but it is also doable. I am a mom of 5 so I know finding time to do it is difficult. A few suggestions I have is to maybe get up an hour earlier and try to do a morning workout. Even 30 minutes would be sufficient. Another is to do as little as walking during a tv program. When I first started my new life, I…

That is very inspirational. Thank you very much for that.

All in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :bigsmile:

Thank you all for your info. I figured it was normal, just needed some reassurement I guess.

I do 30 minutes on treadmill after training

He has me going to different machines every time. I typically do 3-4 different ones each time. I do legs on Mondays and arms on Fridays.

He says I should increase my protein after workouts and soak in a bath before bed.

It's mostly a stiff pain. I feel like i can't walk the next couple of days. Hurts to even sit in my recliner and get back up. It should get better soon I hope.

Twice a week for 30 minutes

Good luck, my first day was today and I was completely lost. I spent most of my time on the treadmill and was perfectly happy there. I also have alot of the same feelings as you but remember, we chose to join to feel better about ourselves and get healthier. Anyone who looks down on you for choosing to be healthier is just…

Just found this post so I am now jumping on the bandwagon...:happy: April 15th: 240 April 22nd: April 30th:

Wow I wish I was as motivated as you after having my first. But then I guess thats how I got here after the 4th one. I don't have the space to do much in my living room plus with kids and dogs it gets kinda hard too but I do walk 5 miles a day and am joining a gym on Monday so I hope that will help. Congrats on the weight…

What part of Seattle are you in? I am in Federal Way...kinda mid point between Seattle and Tacoma

Update on my ticker...19 miles to date. Plus lots of running outside with my 5 year old trying to teach her to ride her bike.

11 miles done so far and I am hoping to get to 100 miles by the end of the month. Joining a gym with my wonderful sister-in-law tomorrow so hopefully that will help me boost it up over 100 miles.
