My gym doesn't allow grunting! Seriously, you will be asked to stop or leave. There are also certain lifts.you can't do (idk which ones) my gym used to be known for being the "meathead" gym (sorry, mean word) and they want to change that so people who aren't as fit still feel comfortable coming in.

Just because you are " slightly anemic" doesn't mean that it.doesn't affect you. I'm POSITIVE that this is what it is now! I was "borderline anemic. your body doesn't absorb iron the.way it should, most people don't eat enough iron in their normal diets. Take a multivitamin with 100% of your daily iron (i only take half a…

Could be soooo many things, I'm anemic and when I don't get enough iron, I'm the same way. Burning a ton of calories and not eating enough can cause that, poor sleep nightly can also cause that, ect.

Hahaha. Ok now that I know that is the problem, I'm getting nachos, icecream, and little debbie snacks! Stupid shampoo!

Love a man in a pink hat!

I looooove zumba! I'm a freak about it! I'm going to get certified to teach soon! There are several uncoordinated people who do it and no one cares because they're having fun! My mom kept telling me to try because it's "right up my alley" lol. If it weren't for zumba, I probably wouldn't have gotten into going to the gym…

Thanks. I'm a pear shape, btw.

^ THIS!!!

Me too! I started eating my 1200 cal to build muscle and gained a half inch on my waist, not my arms! I do tons of cardio, legs get thicker with muscle. Ugh. Never ending battle! I suppose I just have to live and love it. Can't fight genetics!

Tell that to my small B cup (being generous) that used to be full C's! Lmfao!

Some of these responses make me wonder what I'm doing working out, building muscles, and losing curves....oh wait, because that's what I want....to be healthier, have more endurance, flexibility, and strength, and BELIEVE ME, my man will benefit from it ;)

Thanks for the advice. :)

From what I see you look great!

Good for you!!! :) thick thighed girls uniting like our legs do with each other! Lmao! I hope that's swen as funny and not offensive because it wasn't meant to be mean. Xoxo!

You all are too sweet. I didn't mean this.to be so much about my friends, as I did about the exercises to help my trouble zones..i WANT to improve in every way I possibly can. It's apparent I need to focus more on certain areas..

Ok I'm going to try this "planking" is there anyway to do squats with machines? Lol free weights scare me. Dead lifts are what I injured my arm doing. I didn't have much weight on the bar but I also hadn't started the protein shakes and.was eating under 800 cal a day

Thanks! A few things she pointed out were my shoulder blades stick out of my back ( I thought that was kinda normal, and I liked it), my chest plate is visible ( I lost my boobs :( ) not so cool, but not sure how to fix that. I knew that wasn't cute.

Thanks, but my concern here, really, is to find those exercises that slim thighs and firm stomachs. I had planned on toning up anyway, maybe I should have left out the back story that kind of made me even more determined to do so.

I don't think I would be hurt if I didn't already feel the same way. Just to hear someone else say it.....hurt.

I think she was just concerned, but alcohol screwed up the delivery?

I eat granola in my yogurt and.also eat a granola trail mix bar everyday. It sustains my appetite. I think they're just peachy. Hasn't stopped my progress. I also on occasion, will have a dark chocolate cherry protein bar. Soooo tasty!

I'm 5'3 117lbs my short term goals are 115, then 112, maybe even lower/higher depending on what I want toned and what weight that comes at. My original goal was 117, but I'm definitely not where I'd like. Add me. That hours for anyone else too! Oh wait I think we.are friends already, or have I just seen you post in other…

Anyone here: feel free to add me :) I love new friends :)

I take a zumba class 3-4xs a week and do an hour on the elliptical on the fat burn setting 2-3xs a week. I eat alot of clean foods and subbed my lunch at work with a spinach salad. zumba.has really helped with my toning but I'm always looking for more! :) you can check out my diary as I'm eating 1200/day. Oh and I am at…

Wabbit: snow white. Maybe because with your hand up like that I see you holding an apple?

Never thought to put corn in salad! Mmmm!

Yogurt Granola Chicken breasts Spinach leaves (for salads) Garden veggie burgers Pears

I use nnw with water and ice in a blender. Cinnamon bun and chocolate peanutbutter are my faves. They are 100% whey which is supposed to support weight loss.
