When I started strength training, I started with the book The New Rules of Lifting for Women. It is now my "go to" when I've taken time off due to children, life or injury. It was one of the best $15 purchases that I have made.

https://connect.garmin.com/modern/profile/Sbilyeu75 I just got this yesterday. I strength train, walk and hike mostly.

I just got my Vivoactive yesterday. I'm still trying to work it out. My name on Garmin Connect is sbilyeu75.

Hello!

I ran into this board as I was looking for ways to control anxiety with food. I've been suffering from anxiety and panic attacks since I had my son almost 3 years ago. I was controlling it with magnesium (Natural Calm), L-theanine, and counselling. I recently starting getting into Strongwomen competition and training. It…

I'm near the Dayton area. I would attend depending on location and days.

I'm transitioning to a primal diet. Feel free to add me.

I'm sure it can be done, but it's very hard. The weight isn't so bad as the stroller messing with your stride. I never completed the whole 9 weeks. I always got hung up on week 7. I will say that I did better once I just slowed my pace down to what I could handle constantly for 30 minutes (it was more of a walk with…

I just joined this group. I live in Fairborn (Dayton area) of Ohio. I've been a member of MFP since late 2009. However, I've really struggled getting back into the fitness thing since having my son two (YES, TWO) years ago.

My resting heart rate is about 66. I do know that if you stay too high, too long then you can damage the valves. I'm not a huge fan of cardio, but I was thinking maybe I should do more HIIT type cardio instead of constant. I never really understand by what they mean, by out of breath. I conscientiously think about my…

^^^This. This. This. My son just hit 2 and I'm just NOW being able to get consistent. I was very consistent before and even 6 months into my pregnancy. There is no medal for losing the weight super fast. If anything, you'll most likely get frustrated.

She is correct. I think you my have poor body image and possibly looking for something to be wrong when nothing is. Maybe speak with your doctor so you can get reassurance.

I thought that too.

I will definitely check this out.

Really MFP you starred out D-I-C-K's. What if that was my name, I could almost be offended here.

I went to ****'s Sporting Goods yesterday and tried on several brands, Nike, Reebok, Under Armour, etc. I can only say that ya'll may want to squat and check your butt in the mirror because every single brand (except Under Armour) sheered out in the bottom. Under Armour was too low cut and tended to slide down. I have a…

My upper back.

My butt tends to hang out the bottom. I also like a snugger fit so when I'm running or lifting I don't have to feel my fat bounce around.

OR I guess I could just work on getting my *kitten* smaller then I might not have this problem LOL

I've had to Fila and I do like them, but those were what I was wearing when my workout partner informed me that she could see my *kitten* and color of panties through the pants. I had NO idea. I got some Under Armour but they have a gap at the waist and I end up pulling them up mostly. They are also so low cut that I have…

I have one that was given to me. I used it to get a more accurate estimation of calories burned. To be honest, only signed up for the 3 month free trial. I wore it for a little over a month. I now know that on my exercise days I burn about 2600 calories on days I don't workout, I burn about 1900.

I've tried C25k several times. I get to week 7 then I just can't get over the hump. I would probably use it to the point that you do the 20 minute straight run, but instead of continuing with it, slow down your pace and do whatever pace you can do for 30 minutes. My pace is very slow, but at least now I can run/jog/walk…

As a woman, nothing can boost your confidence faster or easier than finally getting and putting on a bra that actually fits. Go get fitted today. You won't be sorry.

I started at 201. Ideally, MY goal weight would be 150. However, I'm also 38 years old with two young children. So, my real goals is to have 25% body fat, be able to pull-ups, bench my own body weight, run a 1/2 marathon, do a triathlon, to be healthy and to be in better shape than when I was in my 20s. Will this translate…

I guessed myself to be 10% bigger than I am.

I take certain vitamins to help me with what I need. I take a daily multivitamin, Omega-3 for cholesterol, brain health and it's anti-inflammatory properties, B-6 helps give me a little boost, magnesium (natural calm) for anxiety and L-Theanine for anxiety if the Natural Calm doesn't help.

I'm 13 months PP from an emergency C-section. It took several months to not have pain after exercising. Even now, I still have some tenderness if I do a lot of ab work. It tends to be more sensitive right before my period.

Honestly, I don't have a calendared event. I'm not looking to compete in a fitness or bodybuilding. I'm 13 Months post partum and I don't feel that I'm in any better shape than I was a year ago. I forgot about the fatigue that comes with a new baby and a four year old to boot. My goal is to get to 25% body fat. The last…
