all gyms will give you a free tour. take a couple up on the offer and take a looksie. can't hurt and you can get a feel for the place. my gym is a mix. old and fat to young and lean. no one is judgemental and as long as you are there putting in the effort, you'll get respect. I'd recommend hitting up the "family" type…

I'm in! this is PERFECT for me. My 40th is in January and my goal is a TUMMY TUCK.... but I promised myself I'd be in a certain weight range and holding stable for 6 months before I get there. 42 down, 20 to go! sw 198 cw 156

hell yeah... you can do this!!!! eating correctly is 80 percent of the battle (per my doc and my trainer.... and they are the professionals).

mommy here of 2 c-sections! don't push yourself too hard the first 4-6 weeks, even if you feel good. I felt great and never ended up needing my pain meds. I remember asking my midwife at 2 week wound check if I could go play hockey. no. haha! my advice is to kick back and bond with baby for the first two weeks. Then at the…

the same would happen to me but I would get very lightheaded as well. I just thought what many here have suggested - that I was just out of shape and still hadn't worked up my endurance... so I'd put harder and more frequently with no progress. Turns out I have a heart issue that my heart rate races disproportionate to the…

I don't! I "work from home" two days a week, so I'm at the gym then or weekends. I agree. at night when it's dark out? it's jammie and puter time!

great job on your journey! I had the exact same conversation with my therapist today. I walk in and immediately she was "well hellooo skinny! you look fantastic"... then I tried to explain that I don't feel fantastic and other than when I'm looking at side by side photos, I don't even think I'm any different. her advice?…

Another person in the boat right here! I joined MFP after the birth of my 1st daughter and quickly fell off the wagon.... fast forward a year and 2nd daughter and I'm determined to make some changes. I've been pretty good the last 8 weeks and have lost 23lbs!!! Friends for motivation and accountability would be very very…

I give you alot of credit for attacking this ***** naturally and it sounds like you are doing what you need to. I'm on the metformin route and have been for the past 8 years (although only the past 3 years I've been serious about it). Metformin isn't for everyone - but for me, it allowed me to have two gorgeous kids, my…
