I was actually told to do Cardio after Weights so i'm exerting my energy on the weights rather than already being tired. I will check out the book, always good to get pointers! and we've got a ridiculously fancy scale that tracks body fat, bmi and hydration so I am keeping an eye on it. i'm not so concerned with my lbs,…

I think my slight ocd keeps me in the habit of the same number of reps, but I do try to add weight on a set if I think I can make it. I will try to change it up a bit. also good to know about the blood flow in regards to being sore. I used to worry I just wasn't "doing any good"

legs & booty are my "problem area" hence the double hit. i'm just getting started and to be honest, half of it is I don't know my way around free weights and the other half is my forearms & wrists aren't strong enough to just hold onto weights for the duration of my workout. after back & biceps my wrists kill me cause that…

mostly fixed weight machines, the ladies area at Golds Gym 4 sets of 12, heavy as i can push and still complete weight increasing in small increments, i added the 4th set when i realized i felt fine after 3 sets goals is to firm up the softness that is my current body. haha i've just become so lazy with a desk job. cardio…

lean meats like chicken & fish with no oils or butter. veggies, no starches. vodka & lime juice, or tequila & lime juice. no drinking calories. drinking lots of water to avoid feeling hungry.

only way to get past it is to try it. as a kid brussel sprouts = farts. but my bf loves them and made me some, just boiled plain and i liked them. they taste like cauliflower & broccoli combined. we pick veggies we like mainly but one a week is something new. even if we dislike it, we finish it. then we know for sure and…

i try to avoid eating out because i feel like "theres no option but to eat my favorites" but my big trick is shame, i add what i want to eat to MFP and when i see what it adds up to, i adjust my choices. it helps, and take baby steps and celebrate everyday. its not a race and it takes 21 days to make a habit. just keep it…

5' 7.5" Age 32 SW: 153 CW: 140 (kinda stuck here after 6 weeks of working out) GW: 125 Mostly Pear Shaped but I bought Boobs a few years ago so I'm a modest Hourglass now.

MFP recommends I eat 1200 net calories per day and I'm struggling to get to there. Most days are around 1200 but the workouts subtract and leave me around 900. I'm planning on adding a 2nd lunch to my (now) really long workdays because 900 is far too little, but I'm constantly eating small healthy meals. I just don't eat a…

mine kicked in after a year of iron treatments for anemia. my doctor doesnt want to put me on legit meds yet, but i take a few different vitamins daily to help. it kinda works, but i have noticed that my change in diet & exerise hasnt had any real affect on my weight or energy levels. my mind is pumped and motivated but i…

baby steps are the best way to do it and make it stick! i feel like you in a gym, in addition to big boobs and a ttoal lack of grace when it comes to anything athletic, i am heavily tattooed so everyone stares. i put in head phones, write down my workout before i go in and ignore the world. my gym actually has a movie…
