Don't know, but my right shoulder does it. I am right hand dominate and wonder if it might be a result of sitting st a desk all day with a lot of computer work?

a belly button ring!

Ouch. That seems a lot. I pay $28/30 min so I hope you're getting an hour with that trainer. That being said, I LOVE my trainer. I credit him with my success, Wish I had found him years ago. Many gyms offer a complimentary trainer session. If you can, try out the trainer before you start paying. Finding a good trainer is…

Hi I'm 5'7" and I started at 249.7. Not sure about my ultimate target. My doc says 130 and I just sorta cringe. But who knows? I'm doing well with my weight training and cardio so I just might make it and then maintain it! Always happy to have more friends. Add me if you want to share.

Been doing it for about 2 months now. LOVE IT. I also do cardio (primarily step class). I've lost over 30 inches. In just 2 months of weight training, you can actually see definition in my arms. Weight training is a must if you want to be successful long term in maintaining a healthy weight and of course, you just look…

Turkey tenderloins! Grill a few. I mix for lunch with peas, lima beans and salsa. Great fiber and protein. Sometimes I mix with half an avocado. Or slice of Ezekial bread (it's sprouted) with some almond butter and an apple or banana Do you like sushi? SALSA is the best for adding flavor to just about everything: proteins…

Consider, many of the calorie quotes are inaccurate and on the high side. This app makes suggestions as to burns per exercise but the only way to know for sure is if you are using a HRM and using it properly. Even then I have my doubts. I had a body bugg and it reported some wonderfully high burns one day and then zip the…

Me, too! Was bumming yesterday . . . It's so confusing figuring out where I really am. What numbers to trust. So I went to Talbots and started trying on clothes and size 12 it was. Congratulations on your achievement!!!!

Wow. You rock!

Always great to have another friend :) I've been here for about 3 months. I've had lots of initial success but am in the doldrums because I am obsessing over how much more has to go :( I'll get over it, I will. I have a great personal trainer, friends and spouse . . . Just got to get over the hump. Good luck with your…

planks :) planks with knee in planks with kick back bridge with leg raises - keep your butt up and tight lay on your back - raise your legs and hold about inch off the ground - you'll start high but over time you will get those legs lower lay on your back - scissors or figure 8 with legs

I've been on for about 12 weeks. MFP has really helped me stay accountable for my nutrition intake. My personal trainer gets credit for the inches lost! Over 30! Add me if you like.

You can do it! I found that weight training REALLY helps. The stronger your muscles, the more efficient your body and your calorie burn. Must admit that I have 30 day shred sitting on top of my tv. Haven't watched yet :( GUILT . . . . But seriously, a combination of reduced calories (don't go below 1200), weight training…

If you've room for 1 more, I would like to join. I just bought a pair of size 14 jeans - $8 at one of the local consignment stores!!! I have a gym membership. I weight train 3/week and fill in the rest with cardio: step class (3x); step/weight/core mix (2x); yoga/pilates (1x); swim laps (3x) . . . my dog also gets twice a…

Congratulations! Onederland is a BIG deal. I just joined the club last week after a decade in the 200s so I truly recognize and appreciate your accomplishment. Best of luck on your next goal. You CAN do it :)

I started with 100+? to loose. Not certain if I need to loose more than 100. It's been so long since I've been skinny, not sure what a good body weight is and the BMI range is ridiculous 112 - 151 ..... Anyway, I'm 50 pounds down with 50 ish to go. I highly recommend. Weight training. Even if you don't belong to a gym, get…
-
I also would like to join. Hoping to get down to 150 by x-mas. That's 50 to go :)
-
Ditto. Though I gotta say, there is nothing so frightening as an 'enthusiastic' trainer. I had a great weight loss week, and I will never forget the gleam in my trainer's eyes. After that session, things ached that I didn't even know I had! BUT, what a difference. I leg pressed 160 pounds today and I could barely squat 10…

I just started the couch to 5k regimen and I have found it surprisingly easy. Given, I've just finished the first week, but not bad. Their website http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml also offers lots of running tips. I'm hoping to get up to get up to the 5k standard by end of September and then extend my run…

Me, too. I would like to get to 150 by Christmas - that's 55 pounds to go.

Add me. Just been here for a few months. MFP has really. Helped me manage y intake.

Fonseca, a 'rescued' German shepherd dog. That's her picture. Some nasty person broke her nose. She's the wimpiest GSD ever and right now she has helped herself to the bed and is taking an afternoon nap. Fonseca is a type of vintage port. My hubby is a wine geek :)

I have lost weight previously, and when I weighed 140, my doctor told me to take off another 10. I was so upset. I had worked so hard to get to 140. After that I put it all back on :( now I'm trying again, and I set the goal at 130. But really, at 47 and 5'7", I've no idea. When I get down into the 160 range I'll reasses.

I just started bench pressing, just the bar at the moment, but my trainer is trying to get me to grunt or bellow when I finish a set .... Lol ... Partly he's teasing, but partly not. Grunting does seem to be ritualistic. I just can't bring myself to do it. Other grunters don't bother me, can be fairly humorous. The thing…

Nay.... Way too much sodium. Easy to make some of these things at home and bring to work. When my doc first told me to try and get my sodium down, she said 'no' to lean cuisine. These days, I'm not watching sodium too much. It is generally always under 1,000. Fruits, grains, lean protein and you won't need lean cuisine :)

Wow! Congratulations. Just goes to show how unreliable scales can be.
