I attached a link to the beginner's workout routine that I started on a few months ago. I now am on to another plan. Its from Muscle and Strength Website. They even show demos of the lifts and describe them in great detail. Also, if you can afford it, a personal trainer may be good to help ensure you are using proper form…

I just figured out that there are hundreds and hundreds of workouts on Youtube last night. I had no idea. Its a great way to check stuff out before paying for it. I will check Leslie Sansome and TaeBo out. Thank you both!!
-
Thank you for the insite. I will check out Collage Videos on Youtube. I've often wondered what TaeBo would be like.
-
Wow, you know what? It refreshing to find someone who is strong and determined! I love the attitude! I haven't lost as much as you yet, out journeys may be similar, but our bodies respond differently. You give me hope! Best of luck while you continue on your transformation journey!
-
Wow, everyone looks so good!!! I can't wait to see myself with those big changes!!!
-
Thank you for sharing, you are inspirational!!
-
I think you look great! The skin is your battle wounds. There is nothing wrong with it. I know I will be in the same boat. I am blessed with a man who loves me as I am and I love him as he is. Good women are out there. If they judge you based off of that, they are superficial and not worth you or your time. I think long…

Congratulations on your accomplishment!!! I have been on a slower journey than you, but hope to be where you are someday.

Thanks, I'm very impatient. Plateaued on the scale, but I'm loosing inches and increasing in strength and endurance. I'm just trying to learn and tweak to get optimal results.
-
Dude, I clean everything before and after touching. I'm not coughing or sneezing. I promise. :)
-
Ok, well thank you everyone for the input. I woke up hurting all over, no fever or anything and I told myself "no excuses" but I'm thinking next time, I should probably listen to my body because I'm feeling worse now and Ibuprofen isn't helping. Not sure what's going on yet, but I'm sure time will tell. I just know its not…

You know, this article is kind of freeing for me. I am morbidly obese. Not only have I crossed that BMI line of 30.....I exceeded it. Now part is because of genetics and PCOS. But the other reason is because of emotional eating, binging when younger, and poor food choices. I get it. I lost 60 pounds last year. I lost 12…

Congratulations!!! You look FABULOUS!!!!
-
When I lost 60# without exercising, I found it easier to breathe and my clothes were fitting better again (This was over last 2 years). Since I started exercising in June 2014 and really working hard through proper diet and exercise, I've only lost 13# more, however, I've lost inches. I hated exercising for the first 4…
-
You can add me. I still have 115-130# to drop.
-
Congratulations!! You look amazing and you completed a huge goal of running a 5k. Keep up the hard work. I am hoping to drop another 30# so I can start training to run. Very inspirational!

Elliptical because no joint pain and I can push myself really hard!
-
My husband took them and hid them from me because I'm neurotic about watching my weight. So, Now I am relying on pics, measuring tape, and a once a month weigh. I am progressing and more relaxed! :wink:
-
Totally Awesome!! You look Great!!!
-
Amazing!!!
-
Working on it. :smile:
-
I disagree. I'm trying to eat clean. When you are really big and healthy calories = lots of volume, its difficult because I'm full.
-
I've been on a plateau, stressed over it, the husband took my scales away and told me once a month weigh in. So, I have revamped the caloric goals, and am going to try to eat my exercise calories. This is going to be hard.
-
Oh wow, I didn't realize you were supposed to eat those calories......
-
The husband just took my scales away. :( I gotta quit stressing. Its probably what is messing everything up. ok. Reset calories. Weigh once a month and see how that works. Thanks everyone. Good stuff to think about. I will check out the Fitness & Exercise threads.
-
I will look into the intermittent fasting. Thank you for the suggestions.
-
My HIIT intensity heart rate is around 85-90% at my max. I like it better than straight cardio, I feel the "runner's high" I've always heard everyone talk about, but never experienced. I use elliptical for 21-23 minutes. 3 min warm up, and then HIIT for 30 seconds on the odd numbers (every 2 minutes) with 90 second…
-
I will try to have more patience. I never thought I would struggle as much as I have when I have lost less than 100#. I thought it would be the next step.
-
Because I read somewhere that it can help your metabolism return to baseline. I was cutting so much and not losing that I thought I may have slowed my metabolism down too much. So i was trying to give my body a break.
-
I'm 72", 315#. I use a scale for meat and some veggies that I can't easily place in a measured container. Otherwise, I use measuring cups and spoons. I measure raw, before I cook, steam, boil, etc... I have my recipes posted to try and not guesstimate. I increased my calories to what it said my maintenance calories should…
