I will!

Oh, also, as far as reps or whatever we do 8-12. If I can do 12 he adds more weight. My third set he has me go as heavy as I can, even if I can only do a few.

It's a little embarrassing, because like I said, although I do what my brother tells me to I don't really know the names of all the things we do or whatever. I have no idea what I'm doing and I don't really know if he does or not haha. So I might screw up the names of stuff but I'll try to figure it out. Feel free to make…

Oh, I definitely plan to keep doing what I've been doing until then! I do lift weights M-W-F, arms-legs-chest/back/shoulders. It's just sort of whatever my brother tells me to do, but it isn't a lot. We both plan on adding a lot to our routine in a few months (he's actually quite fit but has about 5lbs he wants to lose to…

Thanks everyone for all the suggestions! At this point I'm just trying to soak up lots of information so I can figure out what programs/exercises will be best for me after I'm "done" losing the fat... And to add friends so I can see what other people do. Lots of good advice and things to read about! I just like to be…

Thank you very much! I will look into it.

Thank you, that's very helpful. I guess I just assumed things would be different, but it's actually very comforting to know they're not! I really like working out with my brother and I'm hoping we'll be able to keep doing a lot of the same things together. :) I have been working on strength, and making some progress. I…

Congratulations. :) I had my first baby girl in July, and have lost lots of weight since then and counting... Feel free to add me for motivation and support!

I won't say that mine is necessarily unsupportive, but I have to be the tough one for both of us all of the time. We made a promise to ourselves and each other that we would lose weight and get fit if we were to have kids. I have a 6 month old girl and I've lost about 80lbs, quit smoking, eat clean, lift weights, etc...…

First time breastfeeding momma here too! My daughter is 2.5 months old and I've only just now started to lose the weight again... Took a while to find what works for me! I go by my original calorie goal but let myself have an extra 200-400 calories a day to account for the breastfeeding. I am currently losing weight but…

My story is very different than yours (I was very obese while pregnant and gained a bit of weight during but actually lost it all and more before my baby was born - but I'm still fat even at 20 pounds lighter than my prepreg weight!) but I am a new mother of my first child, a 2.5 month old girl... I am very motivated and…

It's hard to see the future, but believe me when I say your mindset CAN be changed! It's hard for me to believe that just a few years ago I was working up the courage and a proper plan to take my own life. I hated myself and my life so much that every minute hurt. But you can change, you just gotta take it day by day. I…

Just wanted to say I feel you on the kidney disease thing. I am currently pregnant sub my first child and I had so many surgeries when I was young that I wasn't sure how easy any of this would be for me. I'm lucky that my pregnancy has been easy and affected very little by my kidneys/surgeries, but I feel you. Kidney…

If you're really properly sticking to a diet and exercise plan that SHOULD be working for you and it isn't, then you should consider seeing a doctor. Chances are that something is off and you're not doing exactly what you think you are though. Even illnesses/conditions that can cause weight gain/make weight loss more…

I don't know how old you are, but at almost 27 years old the only thing that fixed my fixation on my "fatness and ugliness" was actively working on it for a long, long time. I wish I could say I knew exactly when and how it happened, but some time in the last few years I just stopped hating myself after feeling that way…

Thank you guys... I know a lot of this is my own problem with being a pushover and worrying about upsetting people I care about. I'll have a talk with her very soon... I can't have an awesome, healthy day only to have her come over and hand me sweets anymore... I hope that she'll maybe even want to work out with me…
