I agree ! Great Rant ! Mom probably is afraid you will try to change her too so she is trying to sabbatoge your success . This is a common thing when someone tries to make positive changes in their lifestyle . Friends and family start to squirm! Keep it up ! Your making great choices !

You have come so far ! Keep at it your health is worth it !

I don't know about it actually keeping you from losing fat, but I do know that gluten intolerances can cause inflammation in the body .

Ok good to know ..looks like a few people have been happy with their scales from amazon . I'm going to check there and review ratings.

Yup I'm definitely sold ! Thanks !

Thanks Reese ! I just had to share for me it's a big deal!

Thanks for the feed back ...I think I've decided to purchase one it can't hurt only help. :)

Yes I completely agree ! Which is why I'm going to allow my body to recover properly before resuming . Thanks

Yes ..it's really not about the weight it all about the volume. If you put a pound of each side by side muscle takes up a lot less space . I really think the argument about weight is really more about how people are interpreting this concept verbally. If my muscle mass is increasing and my fat mass is decreasing but the…

Congrats ! I agree 36 min is something to be proud of !

There are ways to speak the truth in a loving supportive way . I'm not suggesting you condone behavior or actions that are counterproductive to fitness goals.I am early saying there are better ways to present and deliver your message. If I delivered a message to you in the way you chose to deliver yours I'm certain you…

I'm glad your not my trainer ... This post is unprofessional ,rude and in no way helpful . Instead of people wanting to listen to your expertise as a trainer we want to tune you out for your rudeness? Presentation is everything ! For you to say two weeks is not enough time to notice positive changes in our body is just…

I repeated Wednesdays session again on Sat morning and had the same problem as Friday . So I have decided to take a week or two off and use either the elliptical or stationary bike in place of running until my shins heal. I don't wnt to make the problem worse . I'll keep you posted on the healing process

As long as you are noticing positive changes not worry about what the number on the scale says . Check out my blog from yesterday I talk in depth about this subject . keep at it ! Don't frett!

I will be homeschooling both my teen boys starting this September we are using an online accredited public school called K12 ...because it is a tax funded online school it is free . It is set up very much like an online college course. Certified teachers prepare the lesson plans and supervise the course work and tests. We…

I can relate ...I have to try very hard to not lurk! I have a tenancy towards shyness. I've found the people on this site so supportive and as a result I comment a lot more than I would normally!

Congrats! Your hard work and dedication really has paid off! I'm guessing that you have reversed your type II diabetes with the increase in physical activity and weight loss?

This is such an important part of this process.! You have just set the wheels in motion to lifetime permanent change! Congrats ! It is not about the pounds lost its about being healthy ! I too struggled ith making my diary public but after about a week I thought it was important to allow others to see it . I'm not perfect…

Cats are NOT my friends! They make my eyes red and watery, the roof of my mouth itch like crazy and I wheeze and have asthma attacks! I can't spend time in homes that have cats ...so if you don't like me because I have sever allergic reactions to cat and I don't like them. Your loss. If they did those things to you you'd…

Did W2D3 using the new C25K app ..I think without the app was actually running farther and longer because once I started running I was shocked by how quickly it was over. One problem I did have this time was sore knees and shins from my tues evening strength training session. I had to quit running in the last 5 min and…

A lot of gyms will give you a free assessment that includes measuring your BMI with a electronic handheld gadget .

I can totally relate to the hiding ... I looked at the ground to avoid eye contact with people . I wanted to be invisible. Truly inspiring thanks for sharing ! I love seeing your success!

Love seeing your progress ! Keep it up!

Congrats to achieving a healthy life style !

Attention fellow Curlies! After spending a lot of time reading this thread I purchased the Curly Girl Handbook on Amazon. I liked my curly hair before . However after using the techniques in this book my hair has completely transformed from nice hair to fabulous hair! From just two days of using the suggestions in this…

I log daily...

Holy moly ! Your standing in the tulip fields in Mt. Vernon .... You look great congrats on your sucess.

I recently started running but prior to starting I listened to the audio book CHI RUNNING . It is packed full of helpful info involving body mechanics and posture. He talks in depth about stride and cadence and gives verbal exercises for you to practice. I have found practicing the techniques very helpful ! He talks a lot…
