Female 47 years old Height: 5'3" SW: 151 CW: 148 GW: 125 - 130 depending Need someone that will kick my butt if I am not heading to the gym every day. At this point I do not care if I lose weight, just want to be fit and have upper body strength. My family is supportive but they think I am an exercise Nazi and give me…

This story hit me in an unexpected way. I lost my baby (a TB cross) a few years ago due to a twisted gut. Every time I see a horse I just cry all over again. I can not imagine getting another horse because he meant so much to me. You have made me think about the possibility of finding a mule. I always had heard they were…

I have been using these http://www.numetrex.com/about/heart-rate-monitor-sports-bra for a few years now and I love them. The only problem I have found with them is sometimes when you are running they do not pick up like they should. I have worn them in belly dancing classes and they worked very well (come in different…

I agree, get a heart rate monitor...all machines are different and are usually way off.

I bought a Nordic Track elliptical and spent around $800 for it about 4 years ago. It was not designed to be used as an exercising piece of equipment and it was possibly designed to be a clothes rack. My husband has had to fix it about 5 times and it is currently broken. In researching other elliptical brands I recommend…

Did an hour on the treadmill yesterday and set it to varied speed and incline. My body is sore as heck so I am trying to take it as easy as I can. There was no spinning class this morning and I should have gone to the gym and jumped on the elliptical (that was the plan anyway) but I stayed in bed for an extra 5 minutes and…

This is also day 2 for me on this site and hitting the gym hard. I went to a spinning class before dawn yesterday and did it again today. Even though I did not get much sleep last night, the alarm went off and I left the house as planned. My mind kept giving me excuses as to why I needed to just stay in bed but I ignored…

My goals for the month is to do at least 1 hour of cardio 6 days a week (to include at least 3 spinning classes and 3 days of weights), drink 100 ounces of water per day, and track all of my calories and exercising on this site.

Well today is the day I found this site and this group and I hope you can all keep me going! I have already gone to a 45 min spinning class this morning and should be meeting my husband at the gym to do some weights after work. I tend to workout great for 6 months at a time but get discouraged when I do not see any results…

Today is a big day for me. I turned 47, found this site and joined, and I climbed back on the being healthy wagon. I have about 20 pounds to loose but I have been trying to lose this for years! I do great and loose a few pounds, lose my motivation, and gain it all back. I am surrounded by well-wishing saboteurs who I call…
