10k run (57:55 minutes)

Me! I love the weights and they love me. My friends gave me the same "don't lift too heavy" advise but after lost of research, I started upping my bar weight little by little. Plus that "is she really going to lift that" look I get from the guys at my gym is hilarious.

Thanks! I've been looking at some supportive leg sleeves and athletic tape. Have you guys used any similar products? I normally try to avoid taking pain killers but this pain is killing me!

I drink tea with a little bit of honey.

For me getting a membership was worth it. Before I had the membership, I tried working out at home but I would never get to it. I always made excuses, so getting a gym membership and working out at the gym just makes it feel more official. Hope this helps. Feel free to add me if you want some more support!

How exciting! I love the motivation on this site :)

And I usually weight myself every other day, just because I'm frustrated right now. But usually I weigh myself once a week, and measure once a week too. There have been no changes in almost 3 weeks :(

Thanks everyone! I usually do cardio 3 times a week and weight resistance 3 times a week. I think I am going to reduce my calorie intake, I have been feeling like I'm eating too much.

Good job!!!

Its funny but I've heard that people who exercise a lot need to eat more. My daily calorie goal is 1380 but I always eat my exercise calories back. I have noticed I always go over on my protein. Not sure if that is bad. What's zigzag?

I used to get bored really easily if exercised on the machines. So I started taking classes, now I enjoy them so much that I've picked classes I regularly take and I actually look forward to working out. I feel weird if I don't work out, I've heard it takes 30 days to develop a routine. For me, I think I made regular…

Thanks everyone!!! During the week I've been doing really good, I eat frequent small portions of fresh fruits and veggies between meals. I don't find it difficult to eat like this since my family and I are vegetarian anyway, but I thought maybe in the long run I would benefit from a cheat day. I don't binge eat on my cheat…

I know its hard but there's no way to escape the veggies if you're trying lose weight. Lol I would advise a variation of chicken fried rice, only ask for brown rice instead of white rice. This dish usually doesn't have any of those sugar loaded sauces Chinese food usually has, and they use lean pieces of chicken. Also,…

Passion Fruit Iced tea!! Its yummy :)

Hi! This site has been really helpful for me, feel free to add me if you need some encouraging. :)

Yes! I never measure, maybe I should so I could measure my progress more accurately. Maybe you haven't lost much weight because you've gained a lot of muscle. I don't do much weights, but I do a lot of cardio. I figure if I keep loosing at this rate, I'll be at my target weight in at least 6 months.
