It wasn't just that, they were the typical boys being there and trying to look macho. I like to stretch before hand but my muscles are new to this so I'm overly cautious I guess. I was just so angry about it that every little thing annoyed me. Only reason I go to this gym is because it's the only one within walking…

I keep mine refrigerated, but it usually lasts one week. For ANY kind of milk, my test is to pour a small amount in the sink and if there's any bits it's no good. Milk always smells off to me so I can't use the smell-test unfortunately. Also, if there are no bits, but when you pour it into a hot drink and it doesn't mix,…

I'm a similar weight and height and have a target between 1200-1500 cals. I try not to eat back all of my exercise cals either. I think my diary is open for you to view, not that it's all that good, I've only just started posting in it again. I try to have a power shake every morning, peanut butter (organic), banana and…

Thank you all. I know lifting won't make my weight fall off, that's not why I want to do it. I don't have any muscle strength (hypterthyroid) so I want to be strong and look toned. Plus to get rid of any lose skin. I've just keep getting told that I need to lose the weight first or I'll just look bigger. I haven't lost any…

That is what I meant, sorry. I'm just tired of seeing the go-to response of 'you can't spot reduce'. That and the usual 'starvation mode' reply. It just bums me out, we all know this stuff, now give the people some better advice on what they want to know, not your personal opinions. This was not an attack on you, just a…

Joining in, I managed 50 miles this past month, so I'm going to push for 60 this September.

I disagree with most people, you can't spot reduce with fat loss, however you can do specific muscle training to get that toned look. Maybe up the weights a bit? Depending on what you're already doing, adding a bit of weight can challenge your muscles more. Just let your muscles rest and recover. I'm looking to tone up my…

Just started one today! Me, my boyfriend and his brother are doing a modified two week juicing diet. We get Saturday and Sunday to eat (healthily) and back on juicing for another 5 days. We're doing it not to lose weight necessarily, but to jump start our weight loss and motivation. I haven't given up coffee and I plan on…

I go to a very small gym, as in two treadmills kind. Whenever I'm in there I never get to use the free weight area (again only as big as my carpet) because there are always guys in there moaning like they're giving birth. Not only that but ALL of them do circuit training, leaving weights to go on machines and back again,…

When I first decide to go out and run, I did but only managed about 10 seconds of running then half hour walking. I'd get side cramps and shin splints. Now I can push myself, although I still only last a few minutes of jogging. The best way is to do a steady jog for longer amounts of time to build up your stamina. I also…

I'm in, definitely need to tone up my butt and legs!

To be honest I stopped reading after all the spelling and grammatical errors. It's not the mistakes, it's the general lack of trying to type properly that turns me off, especially on such a large wall of text.

I'm the same and so is my dad. I think it's because when you start eating breakfast, after never doing it before, you're metabolism goes up which makes you hungrier earlier. I find it hard to eat when I've just woken up, I have to give it at least an hour or two or I feel sick. Now I'm starting to prepare my breakfast…

I'm 21 and just recently started!
