Bee left a lovely reminder for me, so I made myself do the workout for Friday. It was not fun, I am not well, and I feel bad after finishing it (physically), but I feel good that I am accomplishing things. If any of you know how to convince my eustachian tubes to NOT swell and pop during exercise please let me know.

Even though I am totally pooped and wobbly, I decided to jam out to some kpop and destroy myself even more (it is a good workout though).

1 is done! It is as hard as I remember. :| Now I want to reward myself with art time, but I think I need to do schoolwork.

Yay ickybella is my favorite~ I'm Sarah, in Arizona. I'm 5'4" (163cm) and right now 170 pounds (77kg). My goal is to get fit again so I am not pooped all the time. Getting fit at this point has to involve losing weight, so there's that. OH I FORGOT: Special dietary needs - I have been STRONGLY ENCOURAGED to reduce my sugar…

Increased my Depakote and saw a 20 pound gain in 3 months. Not going to say it is all medication. I was in a bad time then. But, 7 months later I am down that 20 pounds again and on a heavier dose of Depakote. I'm not doing anything but eating less calories than I spend and trying to walk a little every day. Keep up what…

What if you ate the same meal but gave larger portions to them, and smaller to you?

Walking is usually low impact. Best to check with your doctor about what is safest for you after surgery, though!

I will definitely get at least one of those things. Thank you guys! I don't necessarily dislike the scratchiness of an unconditioned beard, but if it will make him less itchy and maybe more comfortable with the idea, heck yes. :D Also, dude asking about grey in beards? I could not care less about grey. Grey stripe, patch,…

I often remind my boyfriend that I enjoy beards. I ask him to grow his out, and even offer to follow him around and scratch his neck to help pass through the itchy stage. Once, he told me he was confused by what I meant by 'beard'. He said, a big mountain man beard? a little neatly trimmed beard? a goatee, mustache,…

The Fry's (Krogers) in my town has that available, too. Along with the more well known 'healthy' shops like Whole Foods, Sprouts, etc.

Education is the best advice, awesome links from 4legs! building a habit of daily exercise is an important step to health (and weight loss is a nice effect that comes with it). Just walking a little each day is a great way to start. It is easy on you and something to do if you can't think of anything else. Finding a…

Some of my pals with similar issues use texting or instant message/chat services online (or forums like this one) to reach out and get to know more people. With the option to write communication instead of the pressure to speak, it helps them branch out to new people. They try to focus on people in their school/university…

I am so happy you shared this link. This gal is definitely legendary. :) wow!

You are incredible. Thank you for celebrating your awesome achievement with us!

spandex under regular shorts. it is the worst. not just painful and annoying, but legit slices in my thighs that need days to heal. the powders and stuff like that has never ever worked for me. stuff wears out after like 8 minutes.
-
Contact Frankenstein, I suppose. As for the OP, I have nothing new to add because other fantastic users have already mentioned great advice to get you toward this goal. :) Congrats on your loss! You can do great things with your body. Be patient and kind with it.

It does suck to not have any boots fit. Really. They are so cute. I am not happy with my legs. 5'4" like you, with 17" calves and 28" thighs with a waist only an inch bigger than a thigh. I don't like shorts, but I've started wearing skirts and dresses. For some reason, I love the way my legs look in skirts/dresses but…

Oh wow, I guess groggy from sodium isn't uncommon? That really surprises me.
-
Drinking more water (or other hydrating things, like fruits, etc.) can help reduce bloat caused by sodium. Also, an increase in potassium intake can help. The level of sodium you mentioned is not typically considered 'high'. Usually, over 3g a day is something to avoid for otherwise healthy young adults (under 60). Also,…
-
Same - almost. I feel the same junky feelings before, but after half of the first day, I almost always get intense urges to work out, to run, to accomplish -everything-. So I workout! and I do really well (no bambi legs for me, that sounds annoying : ( ) Working out during that time can help ease pains and cramps, too. But…

OMG MEASURABLE IMPROVEMENTS!!!!!!!!!!! I knew you had been doing AWESOME but it is SO great to see a real, true, measurable difference from now and then. Thousands of percentages of improvement ahhhhhhh!!!!! Your avatars mess me up like usual. Also you are fabulous. Also also you are so wonderful and pretty and awesome and…

If you are wide due to the span of your hip bones, losing fat nor muscle will reduce that width. But if that is the case (which is a pretty sweet predicament to be in), doing squats and other lifts that work similar areas can result in building muscle. Including your bum muscles, helping it look more round than flat, even…
-
Hunnibabee answered really well. You mentioned you do not have a lot of sodium in your usual diet, so 6000mg (roughly) is a HUGE increase and can definitely cause retention. Drinking more water can help reduce the retention. It might also help encourage a bowel movement so you can be ready for the examinations. I hope you…
-
Yeah, as others said strong lift includes lifts that work a vast combination of muscles compared to spending a workout focused on arms, then a workout on legs. with strong lifts you can do 3 workouts a week and get more muscles worked out per week than the other plan. :D plus deadlifts and squats are crazy fantastic so i…

You can measure your BMI practically anywhere online for free. It is just a glance on a chart listing height and weight. Even just walking 15 minutes after work 5 nights a week will net you more than 60 minutes of activity. Is it just a calorie counter? Or is it suggesting food plans for you? If it is just a counter, save…

the grip ability between standard and olympic isn't an issue for me - but for other reasons i still support a standard bar as the best purchase for now
-
standard barbells range in weight limit from as low as 4lbs up to 100 to 250+ pounds as a top limit I recently bought one for about $35 from amazon that can hold 200+ lbs (i think 225 or 250 i dont remember offhand). If you are just getting started that is a great weight to begin with. Olympic and standard bars use…

i warm them in a pan on the stovetop without any oil or sauce then eat it with a couple tablespoons of salsa or i make some rice and chop up the fish and toss it in with the rice Cod is pretty easy to mix with whatever
-
buy a cheaper store brand version of it. less goopy (usually) and far less expensive. it's worthwhile if you are not reaching your fiber goal through foods. try to get more than 20 grams of fiber per day.

i agree that strength training and getting your body fat to a % you are happy with will help you get the look you want, not so much just losing a certain number of pounds. you look great already and i'm sure you can achieve some fantastic results :)
