I love Cori from Redefining Strength. These shoulder exercises are harder than they look :-). Humbling light dumbbells.

My Birkenstocks were too big and I had to adjust the straps smaller. The first time I wore them after losing 50+ pounds they kind of hurt my feet. I realized they were too loose. I adjusted the straps and now they feel great. When I first lost the weight, my butt almost disappeared. It filled out again a bit (without…

I do spinning and yoga and love them both. I have knee issues and I have never had a problem with spinning. I find spinning great for general cardio and leg strength. And sneaky way to condition your core. Yoga (specifically yin yoga) just helps my body function better and I helping with some back issues I have had. I…

I definitely notice the difference! I have fluctuated about 50 pounds (I am somewhere in the middle now). I definitely get more attention when I am thinner. I am curvy eaither way :-). I also think I am just more confident as I've gotten older. I am more comfortable in my own skin. At 43 I am far more confident than I was…

I let MFP calculate for me and I am at 1790. I started at 1850, but it dropped after about 10 pounds. I am losing at this amount, so I am going to stay with it. I was on WW about a year ago and they had me on 1500ish. I thought I would die :-).

What motivates me? 1. Volleyball season (competitive sand league at work) 2. Don't want to embarrass my kids (12 and 15) by being the frumpy overweight mom 3. How I look and feel in my own skin :-) Plan of action: 1. Track food! 2. Work out while daughter is at volleyball practice twice a week 3. Spinning class!

Hi all! Age: 43 State: Oregon Start weight: 221 Current Weight: 208 Goal Weight: 175 (lowest as an adult was 175). This puts me confortably in a size 12/10 in some things. I'm happy with that...with my frame, I think a size 10 is about as small as I could reasonably go. Favorite Healthy Snack: roasted veggies (especially…

OK, I know this is a health-related site, BUT this recipe is awesome! I make it about once a month as a splurge (with a pound of crumbled pepper bacon stirred in before I bake it). My kids beg for it! I am not patient enough to reduce the cream by half, so I let it bubble for about half an hour then continue the recipe.…

Pictures! My sand volleyball team was doing really well in our corporate playoffs and an employee of mine took some great action shots of our matches. They were amazing pictures, but I barely recognized myself. I blamed my age and playing in sand for my lack-of-vertical. I didn't bother to take into account the extra 40…

I loved track...did it from 6th grade through senior years of high school. Great social sport and co-ed. BUT I wasn't a runner. My events: Shot put Discus Javelin Tried Hammer Throw at invitational meets a couple of times! I did toy with hurdles and long jump in my early years, but I was stronger than I was fast :smile:

Chocolate Peanut Butter Syntha 6 is awesome! I also like the BNS Lean Dessert flavors (chocolate, vanilla, etc.).

Hi...I know this is an old topic, but I just joined today. So hopping in here. I am also 5'10" and was an athlete all my life - volleyball was my best sport. The numbers can be deceptive. I played at about 180 pounds in high school/club. I didn't play in college, but had some scholarship offers. Looking at pictues of…
