  • Easy, tell them that it might be some work at the beginning, but when you're used to it, it's pretty simple (especially with tools like this to help you track them) and it's WORTH IT!!! So maybe I would be a little sarcastic at the end, but really, if it's effective for you, then it's an easy challenge. :happy:

  • Wow, it sounds like you aren't eating enough with all the exercise you are doing. You should eat something within 30-45 (30 ideally) minutes when you are done exercising, and it's important to get in protein, carbs and potassium so your body can refuel itself and rebuild muscles. I can understand NOT wanting to eat when…

  • If you lost all 10 pounds in one area, you'd probably see a difference, but if it's 10 pounds total from different areas of your body, it might not show immediately. It's great you are seeing the numbers, the visuals will follow, just stick with it! You know the saying "Rome wasn't built in day." Drives me crazy too! But…

  • Are you getting enough iron in your diet? I would definitely check in with a doctor if you've suddenly begun to bruise so much, but it does sound like you might be lacking in iron. When do you eat? If you are eating too close to when you work out, you could get really nauseous (speaking from experience!), or if you wait…

  • Hi there, I know it can be really frustrating. I'm not a specialist, but I can tell you what I went though. I had lower back surgery and was out of commission for 2 months, so I know how it feels to take such a huge step back. The key (at least for me) is to be patient. Which, I know, is really hard and frustrating. Being…

  • Here are my suggestions - I plug in a movie (usually an action or Disney - love the songs!) and put my treadmill right in front of the boob-tube. Or, I'll put my buds in and listen to really upbeat music to get me in a good mood and ready to go! Or, if you don't like the treadmill, find something you do like! Turns out I…
    in hate to exercise!! but trying my best to change that Comment by tats76 February 2011
  • I think it depends on each individual. I know I get cravings, but nothing outrageous (and I've discussed this with my nutritionist and endocrinologist, so I'm not "just saying" that). :wink: The most difficult part for me is that I get severe cramps. And by severe, I mean agony. Add that to my wild mood swings (thank you…

  • What areas are you looking to work out? It also depends on what machines are at the gym. A great resource is a site like YouTube; where you can type in the type of exercise and there are lots of videos showing you how to do them correctly! :bigsmile:
