I am in your shoes right now. I keep going to my Y and say this is the day, but I get there and choose the elliptical instead. They have people who walk around and monitor you. I just feel so out of place. Some of the exercises, like pushups and the ball I just can't do there. I have been feeling so horrible about it. All…

Your guide isn't matching up to my book. On day one of A you have: 2 sets of squats-correct but then have one set of pushups then one seated row. The book say two sets of pushups then two sets of seated rows. Why have you alternated?

Thanks for the link. Good luck on using this routine!

Do it! Feel free to friend me if you'd like support :)

Wow ladies, you look fab!!!! You are so dedicated! YOU ROCK!!! I will for sure get that book. I just need something I can do at home.. that is why I have been sticking with dumbbells. Can you do all these exercises from the book at home or do I have to purchase a ton of special equipment? I have 3 kids alone in a foreign…

Thanks all! I am definitely going to get that book and check the website with the certified trainers. I still would like to see some people that actually went from skinny fat to toned. I need some inspiration! :)

Bumping :)

They are working, two weeks ago I moved from 3.5lbs weights to 5. The start of my reps are okay but I am shaking towards the end..so I know they are right for me now..but the exercises I am doing have become a bore as it is the same thing week after week. I'd love a routine that changes every couple months (change as I…

I am looking to tone up and gain muscle, so any of you can friend me too. I need too figure out how to eat properly and maybe looking at logs will help.

Thanks for the replies. I do agree that I need to weight train.. which is sort of what I have been doing for almost 6 weeks. Pushups, squats with dumbbells, bicep curls..etc. I started with no weight, to a light weight..and plan to increase. I just wanted to focus on some of my problems areas to tone and tighten.

I am already pretty lean. Do you think 6 more pounds would make a difference? I think I would be called underweight if I lost anymore than that.

Bumping again.

Thanks for all the replies, Ladies. I feel normal again now. My hubby constantly tells me I am too skinny. What do men know!

Bump! :)

I'd say you are a 7, I am more of gal that loves a man with a full head of hair. Smile is cute :)

Would love to see pics too. I am on week 4 of the program. Sadly I didn't take a butt shot before.

Thanks so much everyone, for the the replies! I have fallen in love with modcloth! The dresses aren't very expensive. I totally forgot about jcrew. thanks for that suggestion.

Thanks for the replies so far. Bumping for more.

I know how you feel, my husband thinks I am trying to lose a million lbs when I am only trying to have a more healthy diet. I have to usually hide away and eat or pick at the food he wants me to eat till he leaves the table. It is really tough. I rely a lot on salads, eggs, and I make some things ahead of time from…

Thanks for the suggestions, skinnybd and welcome to MFP! I think it is good for me to get up, I just must get something other than food.

I get told Nicky Hilton. I actually dressed like her for Halloween just so I could make fun of her..lol.

Thanks for sharing!
