I had the same issue. I found that new shoes with more or less support, will help as well as keeping at it, little by little. Baby steps are crucial! I went to a New Balance store and talked to the staff. They were helpful and showed me a few options. I also learned to pace myself and do a mix of walking and jogging with…

5'3" on my best days, trying to get to around 135lbs from 174ish lbs. Go shorties! :drinker:

I guess I am the only one who has to plan my life out months in advance *crylaugh* :cry:

Yeah... the planks slaughter me, as well as holding a side plank and doing the pike. UGH. But I am getting stronger. the tricep push-ups are not horrible....IF KNEELING.... but I pumped one mediocre real push up out the other day and kinda startled myself! I ran upstairs and told me boyfriend. I couldn't do another,…

I'm enjoying it! I missed yesterday's workout, but I will just do two in a row to catch up. I am sore and definitely feeling the effects of PiYo, but it isn't like when I am weight training sore. I can still walk and function, but feel like I get a nice workout in. I haven't gotten to the point where I worry about the food…

I was going to suggest this.... except it is thousands of kids in the United States waiting to be adopted, and just as many, if not more that need foster homes. Minnesota, you said, right? Save $20k, stress, and possible complications with IVF----> http://www.mnadopt.org/

Ooo that reminds me, I didn't take my before and after pictures. I'll get my boyfriend to do that tonight. Thanks for the reminder! Other than that, day 1 was nice. I recalled a lot of the positions from previous yoga videos, but the way she explains it makes my form much more accurate. I felt good!

Please take a moment to introduce yourself ,why you decided to do the challenge and what you plan on accomplishing with PiYo challenge? Hello! My name is Nicole, I'm 24, and I started Piyo on Monday. I have a "coach" who told me about it and I was sold. I love Yoga but it never felt like it kicked my butt, so this sounded…

QFTQFTQFT:bigsmile:

Aaand now I am craving Indian food. :grumble: I agree with Sigmalongshot though. Creamy delicious curries are horribly calorie and fat dense. Crispy and fried are no-go's, and the naan and other breads, while delicious, are high in cals too. Have a 1/2 a naan bread, maybe. Especially if your calories allow it! Tandoor…

Let me quintuple, no, sextuple that... I saw quintuple was already taken. :huh: :noway: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

New Castle County, Delaware, USA- Scattered showers and thunderstorms developing by 1pm. Becoming mostly cloudy with temperatures steady near 83F. Winds E at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 45%. Humidity 56%. Decent compared to what we have had recently... It has been 90F+ with super high humidity the last week or three. :wink:

Thanks for the warm welcome! I think I will have to take more than the time recommended. That is a good suggestion. Thanks!! :flowerforyou:

Thanks!! Looking forward to many more!

I do appreciate your responses. I am sure that sometimes I do not log 100% accurately. Like tonight, I am having mini meatballs that were frozen from an event a while back and will be making a sauce for them from scratch. I'll log the best I can, but it may be off a bit depending on the brand the caterer used for the…

I'm a bit of a noob at this, but I started 5x5 on the 1st, So I have done a workout July 1, 3, 5, and 7th. I wasn't throwing around super heavy weight because 1) I'm not strong enough yet 2) I don't have enough plates :embarassed: y'all are awesome though! I can't wait to get up there to triple digits! Starting points on…

The movie "Holes"? Just guessing lol

Nice, thanks! I had a fitbit but lost it :cry: I might get another, though. I liked it a lot.

Thanks!

Thanks for the great example! I will check out the review link. Congrats on the losses and glad you came to MFP :happy:

Awesome, and true! Thanks for your input!

Also, I see you have many more days of not logging than I do. I do pretty well, I thought. I log every weekday and usually on Sundays. Saturdays are always all over the place so it's hard, but I will try harder. Thanks for pointing it out.

Hey mod, I do use a food scale but I am at work most of the day, have very little time to prep a weeks worth of meals, and I have asthma. It gets pretty bad sometimes, but not emergency bad. I have an inhaler on me at all times... I don't know of any other medical issues, but I have been told to get my bloodwork done and…

Actually yes, same here. Same. I am not understanding. I know I shouldn't drop any more calories, but goodness. It is hard to keep it up when nothing is happening.

I am a newbie for the most part and don't have enough space in my basement for an olympic bar, so I have a 5 or 6 ft bar weighing between 12-14lbs. I count it as 10lbs. I started 5x5 on the 1st of July. My weights to start (you are supposed to start light according to the site) were: Squat- 40lbs Bench- 30lbs Row- 30lbs OH…

Yes. Yes. Just, yes. In for when OP returns. If she returns.

:drinker: Same!!! Well... except for olives, caviar, and pickles.:sick:

SW: 174 CW: 155 GW: 150 Weigh in Dates: Start of the Month (6/01 Sun): 155lbs 6/07 Sat: 155 6/14 Sat: 154.8 6/21 Sat:154.3 6/28 Sat: Not gonna make it.... End of Month (6/30 Mon): I lost some, but I can't bust 4.3lbs in 3 days. I'll try harder next time! Total weight lost: .7lbs (boooo) :grumble: 3 things I look forward to…

Happens all the freaking time... One time that got me was in the beginning of Spring, we had a BBQ. My boyfriend went and got Bubba Burgers. I thought "oh, a frozen little 5oz patty that shrinks when it is grilled.... can't be more than 300 cals... right?" 420, without cheese, a bun, or ANYTHING. I was mortified... I had…

Thank you for the awesome review!
