Woo! day 1 at the gym complete! I loved it!! I did a bunch of things and I feel great :) Dead lifts are HARD!! I used a 45lb barbell and then added 20lbs to it. So I didn't have a ton of weight :/ But there was no way I could lift more!! Unfortunately there was no one to help out, but I managed to find my way around and…

Kate - you look great!! You're doing so well! I can totally see a difference.. I hope you have fun on your vacation!! Beeps - I haven't bought the ebook yet, but I might buy the hard copy... I'll decide tomorrow probably :) Amy - That sounds like a good idea about starting at the top, I'll try that. I might still be able…

I didn't buy the HRM yet :) I knew I wanted to buy something on Amazon! thanks for reminding me :) I have a kindle app on my phone so I might buy that version since it's only 9.99!! I just joined those groups too, I guess I have a lot of reading to do tonight!!
-
Oh, and Ris - let me know how the fitbit works!! If it works well for you then I might splurge and buy one :) Although, I found a HRM at Marshalls yesterday for $20, but I didn't know if it was a good brand or not and now I can't think of the name.... I'll have to do some research!

Thanks for your support ladies! You all are right, I just had to vent, I know if I said anything to my boyfriend he'd roll his eyes or something, but you guys are in it for fitness too and I know you would understand! ASchief - I totally understand what you're saying and there is absolutely no hate here!! You're right…

Feeling very very low right now :( I was up in measurements yesterday... 1" up on my natural waist & 1" up on my pooch (also up 1" on my bum, but I'm ok with that one!) and then weighed in 2 lbs higher on the scale today :( I couldn't have eaten 7,000 extra calories this week, so it can't be real weight.. right?? I just…

Yey for a new thread!! I'm glad you're back Jen, you definitely have been going through some tough stuff!! Kate - When are you coming to Boston?? For how long? That's only 45 minutes from me :) Those look like great goals though! Beeps - Thanks for rolling the thread girly :) Chloe - Great goals, and so awesome that you're…

Amy explained it pretty well!! It tracks your sleeping so you know how well you're sleeping (that would help determine if you should change your night routine I'm assuming... and could explain if you're always tired!) and it's small and you can wear it in your pocket and it can be easily concealed. I would want it for…

ahh! ascheif! You look amazing! I wish the pictures were bigger! You're doing fantastic though :) :)

bump! I just got a gym membership *yey!* What lifting exercises would you suggest I start with?? Right now I'm doing Jazzercise (kind of like zumba) so I only do light lifting pretty much. I'd appreciate any advice!! You all look AMAZING!!
-
Wow! Lots of posts!! I'll answer more in depth tomorrow, but I just had to stop in and share something: I joined the gym!! I can officially start lifting soon :) Also - I'm thinking about getting a fitbit.... what are your opinions of them??
-
ok.. so I think I'm going to join!! I need to do it before April 4, thats when the special deal runs out (registration is only $10 right now too!) So I need to actually remember to do it!! I'm excited to start lifting!! I'm going to need your guidance to tell me what to do/how to do it :)
-
mine is 1797 according to fitness frog... crazy! MFP has me on 1200! Should I be eating at that???
-
no one else has any???
-
Those seem like great workouts! I'm getting so tempted to join a gym along with Jazzercise... I know I need to add weight training to get the results I want, but it would be more money per month... I feel like if I were to join a gym it would have to be a Planet Fitness so I could afford the $10 a month.. I might want to…

Amy - It's been such a routine since I turned 21 to have a glass with them every night that she thinks somethings wrong with me if I say no! She doesn't want me losing weight, which I'm okay with her saying that, but she doesn't understand me wanting to lose body fat!! Something I'll have to work on with her :) Plus, this…

I like it on my salads, it's delicious!! Loving some of the other ideas on here too :)

Holy moly this board moves like crazy!! Everyone seems to be doing awesome though! Ok, so to answer Beeps earlier 1. the 2-week-challenge we are working on. - I'm going to TRY not to drink Monday-Thursday at least (convincing my mom this is ok will be the bigger challenge!) and to eat a mid morning and mid afternoon snack…

Jen, I'm sorry that you had a bad day yesterday, that glass of wine was completely necessary, and congrats on not emotional eating, that's awesome! My thoughts are with you and that students family <3 Amy, I'm sorry to hear about your sister, that must be so hard :( My mom lost her sister at 22 because of a car accident as…

Wow this topic moves so fast!! Beeps - At least they were chocolate covered almonds and not chocolate covered potato chips or something ;) haha.. Thats good that you logged them though and you still ended up under for the day, so fantastic job! The $20 challege sounds awesome! I don't think I could afford that :( Then…

bump, worth a shot!! What is the MiM btw???
-
Hi everyone! You guys sound like you're doing well, so happy for you :) Ris - I agree, if I could give up my glass of wine each night I think the weight would fall off! And if I could give up my weekend drinking I think it'd fall off even faster :P Good luck with your not drinking during the week! I'm excited to hear how…

I'm not sure if you have it in the UK, but I'm a big fan of the Herbal Essences Curl Construct!

Kate - I'm glad your workouts are going well!! you'll see the 130's soon :) ASchief - I'd love to hear about the posing classes as well! A friend I went to a bachelorette party with this past weekend is going to a competition in May as well in Boston :) She was showing us some of the poses she has to do! Jen - I'm so with…

My sister met her bf from and online site and my uncle and new aunt met on one as well :) I know my sister when on one or 2 weird dates first, but then she met her current bf and they are very happy together! They've been together for over a year and are actually living together now (she wouldn't do that without knowing it…

I was told before that multivitamins aren't great to take... what are your opinions on this?? I'm currently taking a multi and b12 since I'm vegetarian.... should I look for just the vitamins I need or stick with the multi? This whole thing confuses me!!
-
ascheif - I would LOVE to take that challenge! However, I live at home and have to eat what my family eats... I know I'm 23 and should be able to make my own decisions, but my mom would not be happy with me and she'd think I was trying to be anorexic (no, I'm not kidding! haha) but I will do my best with eating as clean as…
