I have done it only once thus far, using 1 lb.. Told myself oh these are nothing.. Yet my shoulders are aching.. Legs, oh those are another story! Good luck, I couldn't do it right away the next day or two but have done 2 hours at gym both days so not quite resting!

Pass

Bumpity bump, cause the Cuse needs some love!

Hmm so my 2 sets of 20 reps is really just building my endurance and not so much benefitting my muscles after doing so many reps? Here I was just doing reps at the heaviest weight I could handle until I just couldn't work through the soreness and stopped. Must look into an actual routine then instead of flying by the seat…

I have some, I'm sure my wife does, but I have never noticed them and she doesn't give a thought about mine! I hem and haw sometimes because I have them on the sides of my bust and along top.. But my shirts hide them, even tanktops, so really it is me just being overly critical of myself :) I just tell myself it was worth…

I have both of my shoulders tattooed, but I found designs I loved, waited a few months, still loved them, and went to the same artist that did some of my wife's tattoo's and cover-up's and she put her own twist on them. First one is a C for my maiden name [Carroll] as my family did not take it well when I took my wife's…

Today was my first day doing it - was pretty sure I was going to die, be sick, and die again! Woo! As I also go to the gym, coupled with now doing this daily, I am hoping for the best :)

Yes my cat thinks me playing WoW = time to tackle mommy's hand.

I am in the same boat! When I get the chance to stand I do toe raises - stand on my tip toes and stretch as tall as I can, repeatedly. Also like to sit in chair and extend one leg at a time straight out. You could probably look up some hatha yoga moves to do some stretching if you are in a secluded cubicle/office. I work…

Wishing there was a 'like' or 'thank' button for posts - that was awesome :D

Thank you, it was wonderful, and the rest of my pics [mostly] came out fab! Just this one makes me cringe.

This picture makes me sad because it is supposed to be romantic, and all I can think is "Holy crap I'm so fat!"

Age: 25 [26 in one day if you want to be technical...] Height: 5'4" SW: 245 CW: 204 GW: 140 Current Goal: 190 I was diagnosed with Type II diabetes a week before I got married [May 26, 2012]. Was given a meal plan, 1200 calories/day and goal to lose 20 lbs. Following the plan alone dropped me from 207 to 187 in roughly 8-9…

Vit D3, 4000 UI [per doctor!] Used to take a multi-vitamin but it's been a while.. I am bad with regimens like that.

As a redhead who grew up being teased about it, keep the love coming ;)

Lately it has been too warm for me to want to grill, and I hate to clean the little George Foreman griller we have in the kitchen, so... When I want "roasted" peppers and onions, I slice them up, spray muffin tin with cooking spray, and bake them in oven for 20 mins! Sometimes I marinate them ahead of time. Muffin tins…

Bumping! I also live in Syracuse, Eastwood area. Curious if anyone goes to Planet Fitness. I know some people hate it not being a "real" gym, but the hours make it possible for me to go with my schedule so I love it! Joined after three co-workers at my previous job joined, but I am the only one who goes it seems. Use to go…

I wouldn't of thought to change my settings, except for the fact that 1) My diabetes dietician told me to aim from 1,200 down from 1,500 2) I am allowed a maximum of 180 carbs a day (min. 45 per meal, can use 15 for a snack or two) and 3) She told me to up my protein. So I set my calories, changed my carb percentage, then…

I'd like to join too please! I am new too and need a good support group :)
