  • Free weights are a lot harder than machine weights, the reason being is that you are now using secondary stabilizing muscles that you never used when using machines. Keep it up and the pain will start to go away, you just found some muscles that you didn't know you had ;-)
  • Are you running on concrete?
  • Whatever motivates you, if that does the trick, then congrats as you have a good reward system (Beside the starbucks coffe lol jk). Its just like they say the best exercise for you is the one you like to do ;-) Good luck on your journey! Pat
  • I agree with the above, you might be holding more water. Make sure to change up your exercise routine too, or add to it. I am doing running for my exercise and adding .2 speed to the treadmill a week from where I started to keep pushing my self.
  • Hey Mike, Congrats on getting married! and welcome to the site! So they say the best exercise for weight loss is the one the one you like the most, have you figured out what you like? Pat
  • Yea metabolism slows when we get older of course but losing 30lbs is awesome! Just keep up the good work and change up your exercise, speeds, workout types and I am sure you will be there! Good luck and keep up the good work!
