I suggest hiring a training for at least 3 sessions to help you become familiar with equipment. A lot of times, gyms offer beginner packages. Try the classes. Spin, Kickboxing, Bodypump or body sculpt, etc. If they are hard, don't give up.... you'll build up strength and endurance as you keep going. Make sure to…

I eat something every 2 - 3 hrs. I drink a ton of water and if I'm starving I'll grab 3-4 almonds to hold me over. Are you eating enough protein? Every time you eat you should eat protein and you should make sure to get enough fiber. If you eat fruit have some nuts to go along with it... It takes longer for your body to…

My rule... if it has a drive thru I don't go! =) I only order grilled chicken, steamed veggies without butter and salads with dressing on the side (usually a vinaigrette). It's OK to splurge now and then, you can make up for it with an extra hard workout.

I never had an issue with weight until I had my babies. Then it wasn't an issue, just had to lose the weight I gained during pregnancy. Before that I was always in shape, I have always worked out 5-6 days a week at the gym, I've always eaten healthy and I've been a runner for about 11 yrs (was a casual runner, now I'm into…

Me too! Those are my favorites! I also like Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, *****cat Dolls, Usher and Eminem. Some Buckcherry, The Killers, Nickelback, Alicia keys and Kid Rock as well... depends on whether I'm running or lifting weights.

Try zyrtec then.. I prefer allegra but yes, you do need a prescription. I was freaked out by irrigating my sinuses too, but it helps get the pollen outta there! =) When I run everything seems to come out. make sure to bring tissue.

wow! Had no idea! Thanks for posting this topic! I don't use any sweeteners accept natural sugar and only when baking. But my husband uses splenda... or USED splenda.

Have you tried taking Claritin? Try a hot shower the night before and irrigate your sinuses (netty pot). Drink lots of water... good luck!

Mmmm.... Thanks!

I don't like coffee with out loads of cream and sugar so I just take a caffeine pill instead. =) Doesn't make my teeth white and I still get my caffeine. I do drink black tea without sweetener some times

Ah ha! I was confused since your pic is of you in a mud run! LOL Yeah, no warrior dashes near me either.... (I'm close to you, LV).

I eat the turkey wrap or the salad bar. YUM!

DITTO!

Very Exciting! What a wonderful day you are having!!

If you run for 2 min, walk 1 min, run 2, walk 1... then increase run time to 2.5min walk 45 s, increase to 3 min of running...etc... you'll get there. You can even start out with running 1 min and walking 1 min. I suggest doing all of your running outside. When you think you can't run any further, push yourself for 20 more…

You rock! Way to go! You should be so proud of yourself!

Why is cellulite only cute on babies!? Unfair!! LOL I love my 16 month old's dimples! HE HE I have it too :cry: but like the others have said, it has become less noticeable with added muscle tone. Running and weight training has helped a ton. Plus lots of water and a good diet. I've heard the coffee grounds help and so…

Thank you! You'll get there in no time!!! =) Keep at it!

Thanks!! I'm 5'6"

There was one on May 1st in Phoenix. You missed it! Do it next year! =) You can do the muddy buddy on Nov 14th http://muddy-buddy.competitor.com/event-info/phoenix/

I had a rockin' body! he he (didn't think so then, but now I look back at pictures 10 yrs and 2 kids later and wonder what I was thinking!). I was down to 15% body fat and 118 lbs. That's basically the plan I follow now. I stick to his food list (I've added things like quinoa and I don't eat pasta because it prevents me…

Greek yogurt yogurt nuts Kind Healthy Snacks http://www.kindsnacks.com/ cottage cheese protein pancakes (homemade) almond butter on sprouted grain toast

Yup! I did it in 2000. I'm basically following his food list now and I use the cookbook! Great recipes!

I'm a teacher and have to be at work at 7:15. I can't get up at 4:00 to go to the gym. SO... I exercise right after work at the gym. BUT, during the summer I'm up and at the gym by 5:30/6am before the hubby goes to work. I like doing it that way best!

I'm running a half in August and Hopefully a full soon after! It's a great accomplishment! You'll do awesome! Have you been fitted for running shoes? Invest in good running socks. I really love having my runner's garmin! It helps with training and pace/distance. The vanilla flavored Gu is the best! The nathan brand…

You crack me up!

Funny! I thought you were talking about an undie run! my friend just did one... ran in her undies for a charity cause. Glad you found a new way to make yourself sore!! You Go!

*any fruit *yogurt *chopped cucumbers and tomatoes with pepper and a tsp of Italian or balsamic dressing topped with a sprinkle of sesame seeds or sunflower seeds *mix it into egg whites scrambled with mushrooms and salsa

I'm down... 122.8! My goal is 120... almost there! Would love to be at 15% body fat too! I'm close (at 17.9). I'm into all of my size 4s now.... =) I still need to tone and define but I'm very happy with how far my hard work has gotten me. Last year at this time I was in a size 14 and I weighed 149 lbs! Took me a year....…

I went for my ride! 15.27 miles! Only fell (at a stop) 4 times! LOL but I had so much fun!!! It was freezing and windy! (not sure why it was so cold in May in Las Vegas.... but I needed winter gear to wear!). I'm going again in 2 weeks! I loved it!
