I scored 11, so I guess I'm fine aside from an occasional off day, but who DOESN'T have one of those?

No need to be intimidated, Spinning is one of the most enjoyable workouts in my opinion. Your instructor should help you out with adjusting your bike, just let them know it's your first time. Check out this video for learning how to set up your bike. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oo2fsSb-HDU Another thing to remember is…

That's me! Just retired from my long years as a cardio queen with barbie weights to lifting heavy with NROL4W. :)

^^ This should buy you a day of not washing and will absorb the oils in the hair. just make sure you brush it through reallyyyyy well after dusting baby powder on the roots.

"journey" -_-

Hey! I'm 22, recent grad looking to get into shape for summer. Feel free to add me, let's keep each other motivated :)

Friend request sent! :)

I keep it simple most of the time. Vodka Soda + Lime

Try Healthy Choice Fudge bars, they taste amazing and only 100 cals!

Fantastic results, congratulations on finishing up Stage 1! How are you tracking your BF% loss?

^^^ Exactly my situation! I weigh 130 and just started strength training in hopes of slimming down my thighs and calves. My chest is pretty small to begin with and my stomach is relatively flat, but legs are definitely my problem area, and for some reason, are the last to go! Ugh so frustrating!! haha.

The gym (or the free weights area, rather) can a pretty intimidating place. I had the same anxiety for years, which is why I was more of a Cardio girl my whole life. It really helps if you go there with a set program, knowing which equipment you want to use and which exercises you want to do beforehand. I tried the New…

Actually, pretty sure you misspelled "sight" haha

I say just get in the weight room, and screw what everyone else thinks. And honestly, no one really judges anyone as much as we do in our own heads.

Hey Jain, feel free to add me. I too could use some motivation and it's always better to do things with a support group :)

I think facing your fears is the best way to get over something that makes you anxious. The more social situations you try and face, the more you will realize that it really isn't too big a deal, and feel more comfortable with situations. It's like the weight room for me. At first I felt really awkward and out of place,…

Try New Rules of Lifting for Women. I myself started the program recently and I feel like it gave me a great introduction into the weight room. It has everything spelled out for you from exercises to nutrition. Also, check out the NROL4W forums here on myfitnesspal, you'll find the ladies there very inspirational :) edit:…

Did my first B workout of Stage 2, and oh man it kicked my butt. I didn't feel like I was doing that much but my legs are sore as hell! Maybe it's the lifting combined with the HIIT but I'm definitely loving this stage so far. Alwyn, I will never doubt you again! (except maybe for the gazillion ab exercised at the end haha)

Sounds to me like he's a little indecisive; he's halfway out the door with his current relationship, yet his interested in you but doesn't know if it's worth the investment (which you totally are!). Girl, take my advice. Tomorrow is Thursday. Put on your hottest spandex, and go in there and show him what he's missing. Good…

Agreed. It's so ridiculous to hear people bit** and complain about who wore what, and how much makeup, and so forth. People have different tastes and preferences and that's okay. If you're going there to workout, why does it matter to you what color shirt or how much makeup a girl wore while running on a treadmill at your…

LA all the way!!!! Santa Cruz is cool too :)

Yay!! I feel like all of us single MFPers are living out our gym fantasies vicariously through you and your story haha. Give us an update on your first date, I imagine it something like...... grabbing protein bars at your gym's vending machine, then getting all steamy.. in hot yoga :) haha just kidding!
-
You look amazing! I can't believe your progress in only a couple month's work! I applaud you for your hard work, now I'm even more interested in trying Crossfit :)

FInished Stage 1 this morning and ready to take on Stage 2 on Saturday (figured I'll skip the break/ postpone it to when I'm especially busy, plus, I'm too excited to start) ! Planning on weighing myself/taking measurements tomorrow. I do have some questions for you ladies: - When did you take measurements/pictures/weigh…
-
^^ hahah I died. Get it girl! Life's too short to be sitting around waiting for something to happen. That being said, you might not want to be too aggressive, after all you still need to show your face at the gym again. Can't wait for an update :)

Happy Birthday and good for you for making health and wellness your birthday gift to yourself! I'm 22, I am a few weeks into Stage 1. Was really intimidated at first, but I've made a promise to myself to keep up this New Year's resolution. Wish you lots of luck on your new journey! The only advice I could give, is pay…
