I have carpal tunnel and a lot of exercise makes my hands numb. Unfortunately a lot of arm exercising makes my hands numb when I sleep (bigger muscles? ha!). Its something I've just learned to cope with but on the treadmill aim for relaxed, loose arms. Don't hold on. Similarly with bike machines, I find if I don't hold on…

Thats a good idea! I think I'll take you up on it. :)

Good suggestions thank you!

Good to know! I'll take the vitamins - can't hurt in any case, right? :)

Amazing, inspiring, and impressive - you should be VERY proud of your journey! Congratulations!!

Hey there! I'm looking for vegan support since I am officially becoming vegan... TODAY! I've thought about it for a long time for moral reasons, and have been a pescatarian most of my life. Giving up meat? Easy. Giving up cream, cheese, eggs, honey, and butter? Damn near impossible! But I'm going to give it a shot. Any…

Heh.

Smoothies after workouts work great for my energy level personally.

I'm just about to start. Can you friend me so I can see how you are doing and we can encourage each other? Thanks!

I've now had 3 separate co-workers come into my office privately and ask, "what's your secret?" and expect some easy solution. I say "I count calories and exercise" and they all walked out disgruntled. But I still prefer that to the "you're wasting away?" weirdo compliment. The best ones are people who just say "you look…

My first question: Is there ANY way you can keep all three, and possibly move Lonesome to a retirement pasture or cheaper location (if you aren't boarding at home) since he sounds like a sweet old pasture pet at this point? If not, and I understand that 3 is a stretch, and you feel confident that this lady really would…

Keep it up, sexy lady! You look fantastic!

Awesome! I'm starting Insanity now, can you tell me how to join the group?

Ooh can you all add me too? I just got it and did the fit test last night, and plan to start it Monday too. I'm scared and excited! I'd love some encouragement and support and a group to ***** about the pain and hardship. :)

This morning I thought how funny it was that I was searching my closet for a tight t-shirt to show off how small I've become...and less than 3 months ago I was searching my closet for a t-shirt (all of them size large) that wasn't so "tight-fitting" that it showed off my massive belly. :) I now have to wear a tight ring…

OMG That is SUCH a cool pic to keep! It makes me think I should keep around at least one of my old fat pants for a comparison. Congratulations, and thanks for being such an awesome inspiration!

Wow! Amazing! Although I have to say the pics with you and your hair are still pretty T-HAWT!

Wow! That makes me feel so much better, knowing that this journey can lead to great rewards! Congrats on your progress!

I did this 3 day cleanse to start off my weight loss and I love the breakfast and dinner smoothies! They are tasty and healthy and well-balanced. The breakfast is: one cup raspberries (I use frozen), 1/4 cup spinach (I use frozen), 1 banana, 1 tbsp. almond butter, 1 tsp. ground flax, 1 lemon (juice), 1 cup water. I still…

I lost 10 lbs like it was no big deal, and now I'm stuck stuck stuck despite maintaining my calories and adding exercise! So I need the extra motivation to keep me active even when the scale is screwing with my head. Thanks for the challenge!

My active, thoughtful goal is to pull of Level 1 test 4 for dressage by the end of the summer. My vain, ridiculous goal is to order the dream breeches I've always wanted but get them in a size 26-28. :)

Hi everyone! I've been logging for about a month now and am looking for more horsie friends to help encourage/be encouraged by to lose weight for better riding! I've got a 20 yr old Arabian gelding who is a fantastic partner in dressage. We're both pretty lazy and so we're not so much into a show circuit - just about…

Do you think p90 is too hard on shoulders/knees?

Thanks everyone! I appreciate it. I think I'll try TaeBo PT 24/7. A gym is a great idea but I just don't have enough time to be away from home that long.

Thanks for responding! I've never ridden walkers, although I had a standardbred once who loved to play with his gaits. I've been getting into yoga too, I hope it will improve my core strength. :)
