Hi I'm Michelle, currently 265lbs, looking to get to 154lbs so over 100lbs to lose! Then I'll re assess. I love running, but been unable to for a year ish now due to injuries, still rehabbing a knee injury, so more cycling and swimming for me for now. I love strength training, and going to get back into the upper body for…

I've just started, weight currently 265lbs

50lbs would be ideal, but 40 minimum.

I've missed everything with no proper internet access and lots of hassles in life :-( but am back now :-) 3 positives!!.... 1. I have lovely green eyes, everyone says so too ;-) 2. I like the shape my legs are taking 3. This is a get positive... Have a positive attitude everyday.

I'm to tires for maths but that's a lot of lettuce to get to 1200 and not a whole lot of point! Why don't people just eat!!!!????

I love the naming of it :-) I'm not a fan of powerplates, but I've really noticed a difference with stretching on one, but i don't like working out with it.

They should be called torture rollers lol! I warmup and do some dynamic stretches, but i do static stretch hip flexors, after injury to hip flexor I've found this to be best, i workout then stretch properly, and use the foam roller.

Very important after working out, helps prevent injury! I didn't stretch properly and i paid the price!

I have a fair amount to lose, feel free to add me :-)

Just have to.say i find women ruder! Of ALL ages, i get barged in the gym locker room, door slammed at me, ignored if i allow someone to come through the dood first, glared at for being there. Women in shops don't even start me on that!

Ill join team UK :-)

In

Done

I'm not a gym snob, but i want a good range of classes with lots of different time options, good cardo machines, good freeweight area, kettlebells medicane balls etc, pool jacuzzi sauna and steam room, big chains generally have it all there!

Essex here

In :-)

Can't be doing with scrolling through, finding threads and one massive thread, so am out now I'm afraid, prefer the group setup :-(

I'm 230lbs and genuinely don't look it when dressed right, even the nurse was shocked at how much i weighed when i started last year at 3 st heavier, she said i didn't look that heavy, different people carry different ways

Maybe experiment, what machines are you using, what intensity etc? Go to 1 for a day, lower intensity and see what happens, maybe a particular thing at a particular level makes you ill? I have to be careful with the rowing machine

Agree with when and what you're eating before working out. I'm the opposite if I'm not fueled enough i get sick, so are you eating properly also? Obviously this doesn't apply if you're having a heavy meal and working out half hour later!

Ditto swimming, walking? can you strap the knee up if need be?

I dissolve the coffee granules in a little hot water then put that in the blender with the powder and milk, find it to grainy if don't dissolve the granules first

Not sure about the first one, have to ask my trainer tommorow, they look like they would be good for my hip, but Im not doing anything without clearing it lol. Squat kicks are out, squats are fine, no kicking.

We dont have Thanksgiving, so Im out of temptations way lol

I wasn't calling you fat, just putting down what i think is her point of view, which i think she is an idiot! To be honest id be having it out with her in a calm private manner, if she crosses the line again id calmly but loudly tell her in front of others that I've already asked her not to.... especially pointing out…
