I HATE the gym. You're not alone! And I think that's why I avoided working out for so long. I thought it was the gym or nothing. I don't care what people say, other people DO watch you! I feel like I can't sweat, grunt, breath heavy, etc. because I know people are mentally laughing! I push SO much harder when people aren't…

And I do agree that if someone won't change you have to either except that and be willing to leave it alone or move on. Has he been like this since you met him? If you got with him while he was like this than you honestly can't expect him to change all of a sudden just because you want him to. I know that sounds terrible…

Sadly, you can't make anyone want to have a better lifestyle. No amount of bribing, fighting, forcing, etc. is going to make them. My suggestion is sit him down, explain to him WHY you are concerned (you want to live a long life with him, etc.) and leave it at that. Most people fight against that feeling that they HAVE to…

I'm a 26 year old mom of one, a 5 yr old daughter. I've been working on losing weight for almost three years now! I have my ups and downs but I keep at it! Feel free to add me!

Originally from Alabama though! Roll TIDE!!! :glasses:

I'm in Asheville, NC! Anyone else?!

I'm 26! Fun fact: I've been married 7 years! Feel free to add me!

I don't eat them. I know approx what my body burns during the day and I know what I need to lose weight. I set my calorie goal "high" enough that I'm fine without eating those "extra" calories. Example - if I burn approx. 1900 calories a day plus an extra 400 working out then I set my calorie intake to 1600 and that's…

Thanks! The first day went really good....I'll do day 2 of the first week tomorrow.

I don't have a treadmill nor do I go to a gym so for me it's all outdoor running! I've heard it is harder though so if I can do the outdoor thing then if I ever have to run on a treadmill it should be a piece of cake!

I downloaded it on my iPhone from the App store. It was free!

We talked about getting married before he proposed. I knew he was going to but I didn't know when. He picked out the ring all on his own. All I told him before was that I preferred a round stone and something simple. And it was perfect! We just got simple plain bands and then for our 1 year anniversary he took me to pick…

I think interracial relationships are great! I do think that you have to be aware of the differences that there naturally are between different races, ethnicities and cultures. Doesn't mean they can't be bridged but you have to be aware of them. And I'm not really even talking about black and white. My grandfather is…

I've always hated running, like you I get really bored even with music. I've always done intense cardio home programs like Insanity and Turbo Fire. But I'm kinda getting bored with that now and I really want to get into running. We recently moved and we have an awesome park and I'm going to try to run a few days a week. I…

Awesome! I'm in the Asheville, NC area. Just moved here and I'm hoping to get involved with some kind of fitness group soon - running or something. Maybe even try Crossfit. Anyone done Crossfit yet?

Haha! ME TOO!!!

I have a daughter and I work part time. I stay home with her 4 days so I try to make sure I work out really hard those day because the other three days my schedule doesn't always allow for a work out or much of one at least. Eating healthy has been a bit of an issue for me. The days I'm at work I hardly get to eat and when…

I agree! My husband and I had separate FB's and we didn't have each others passwords. I guess we trust each other enough to not have to spy on one another. When his ex-girlfriend got in touch with him after 8 years he told me right away and read me the message. He needs to delete her, if he's not willing to do that after…

They are fun! Even though I'm not doing the full program right now I still add several of the workouts into my other routine just because they are fun and I did see results with the full program. A little more "structure" then with Zumba but still fun!

My hubby is very supportive of me working out and losing weight but he doesn't want to do it! Lol! He did Insanity recently and complained almost constantly and took all the fun out of working out. Generally I cook healthy for me and my daughter and he fixes whatever he wants. I've just had to learn to be disciplined and…

Ok, thanks!!!

I've heard anywhere from 500-800 depending on how hard you push and how much you can stick with what they are doing. But the best way to know is to get a heart rate monitor with a calorie counter because depending on your height, weight and how hard you push will change it all a lot.

I've done both. The first time I did it I followed strictly to the work out plan and the nutrition guide and lost 15lbs (after losing 15 doing P90X) after that I did a round where I wasn't sticking completely with the plan or nutrition and didn't see the results. They tell you that it's a commitment. You have to commit to…
