The first time I ever worked with a trainer, I did lots of arm exercises. The next day my arms hurt so bad, and I couldn't raise them or straighten them for days. My uncle told me the name of the tendons that I had hurt, and said I should steer clear of working my arms for about 6 weeks. I had to take about four days off…

I feel ya! Just a few minutes ago my kids were playing together. My daughter was pretending to be me, and my son was pretending to be her kid. I heard her say "be quiet, son, I'm texting someone!" I was like....omg...do I really do that?? :(

Oh yeah, and I wanna be able to sit with my legs crossed, see my collar bone, and have my thighs not rub together!

I love this thread! I'm so with you on the sexy halloween costume... Get a tattoo down my side... Get in and out of the bath tub easily, and to have my entire body covered while in the tub! I want my boyfriend to be able to lift me without straining a muscle... Umm...yeah...sex without my belly flapping around... I want…

I've been going to the gym 4-5 days a week. I start with 5 minute cardio warm up, then go into lifting weights for 30-45 minutes. One day I do arms and chest, the next day legs and core, alternating each day. After that I go back and do 30 minutes of cardio. I used to hate doing cardio, but now I mix it up and add…

I really need a food scale!

Oh and of course, to quote the amazing John Popper.... "there's no such thing as a failure who keeps trying..."

A sign in my gym reads "winners are losers who got back up and tried again" (or something like that, lol). Ive quit and begun again so many times, but I learned something important each time. Good for you for giving it another go :)

A good rule of thumb to follow is to stop eating 12 hours after you eat breakfast. (Hoping and assuming you have breakfast shortly after you wake in the morning.)

I lost 4.4 lbs from April 21 to May 21st, and i'm celebrating! Its good, healthy weight loss! I measured myself as well and found I've lost inches too, more than I expected! Keep it up, just keep working at it! :)

How many calories are you netting each day? My first guess would be that you're not eating enough, and your body is holding on to everything it can for energy. How often are you eating? Our metabolism needs fuel from the moment we wake up in the morning, and for twelve hours after that. Ideally you should be eating every…

Broiled fish and steamed veggies, or grilled kabobs with either steak or chicken and lots of veggies.

You rock, mama! You look great, and you did it the right way!

That's great!! Sorry I don't really have much advice, except to meet with a trainer, even ONE TIME,to go over nutrition and exercise, you'll learn so much! Also I prefer the low impact cardio machines, treadmills kill my ankles...don't know if that helps at all, but best wishes to you and your health!!

Wow, you look amazing! Thanks so much for sharing, and for the advice and inspiration!

That's great! I can not WAIT to see my collar bone!!

Awesome job!! A very happy birthday to you!! :)

Interesting...I'll try it!!

Awesome results! You look great!

Let's see..... I was the prom queen in high school I got my first tattoo in Paris I was in truck driving school during 9-11 and I still have my class A CDL although I don't use it My son, a cousin, and my uncle were all born on January 15th, and my daughter was due January 15 but came early

Girl I'm in the same boat, raising two kids! I get food assistance bug not much, so I'm really careful about what I spend my food benefits on. I don't know about your area, but my local Save A Lot actually has some great things for cheap! I used to stick my nose up at that place, but now I get some great things there. 1%…

I make sure I'm wearing snug leggings when I work out, so the cloth rubs and not my skin. Never tried any creams or powders, seems like it would mix with sweat and get all sticky and clumpy.

I keep saying I'm gonna start it....just need to DO IT!! Good for you!!

THAT is AWESOME. Thanks so much for sharing! I think you should talk to him, a friendly gesture can make all the difference in the world to someone who feels uncomfortable at the gym.
