I can absolutely relate! I started trying to lose weight in January. At 170 I was extremely insecure especially since this isn't my first battle with weight loss. I started at 200+ lbs back in 2007 and got down to 150. Had two more kids and let my self slack. But I decided you know what??? If these people cant understand…

Yes! This is a great solution!

I love to take classes at the gym! The weirder the name the better! I don't know what it is to be working out along side fellow class takers with the music pounding through the speakers above and the instructor yelling encouraging words as you plow through the class. I also enjoy jogging on the treadmill... only because it…

I want to be able to do push-ups! So weird and slightly deranged but I have always wanted to be able to do at least 20 push-ups (the proper form type) without stopping. I'm going to try the 100-pushup challenge with some other MFP pals.

And to you my dear, I take my hat off for being the better person and not going off on him. I know at the moment it was probably more shock than restraint that held you back but you shouldn't let ignorance rob you of your bliss. You have worked HARD to get where you are and that is very telling of how far you want to go.…

I never was a fan of Sport's AUthority, seems like all the employees are there to just get a paycheck. They have ZERO knowledge of the merchandise and even less sense as customer Service associates. The stores name is D-I-C-K's Sports. The moderator probably thought it was a bad word (oops!).

Don't beat yourself up! Everyone messes up every once in while. You don't have to become a hermit to reach your goals, in fact what are you working towards if you can't enjoy the ride??? If you are going to an outing, make sure you eat something healthy right before the event. That will stave off a little hunger when you…

I just happened to have done all those exercises at today's ultimate conditioning class. BONUS: I did them all on an Urban Rebounder.:drinker:

We all have to start somewhere! And never think anyone is judging you at the gym they are all too busy trying to get their workout on too. Be proud that you are taking the initiative. I felt that way when I started in January. I did a class and failed miserably at all the exercises but you know what? It's now June and I…

Hi, I'm Heidy and I'm getting married next month. I weight 150 after losing 20lbs. My goal is to get to 140 and be leaner and more toned. I don't have an overall goal weight because I'm just seeing how things go along. Once I reach a place where I'm happy with my fitness lever and appearance I will stop worrying about the…

I can relate as my stomach is my problem area as well. I've had 3 children and the lower belly pooch is the most stubborn area. I'm actually at pre-baby weight (before all 3!) and my goal is 10 more lbs and LOTS of toning, particularly in the tummy area. I'm going to take a pic of my tummy (shudders at the thought) and…

First, welcome to MFP! There are NO judgements here only helpful advice. I'd like to tell you how lucky you are to have such a devoted and doting husband. I am also very lucky to have one of those as well, minus the doing everything for me part.:laugh: I think since you just started on this journey you should take some…

How much weight have you lost in the 3 weeks? And how do you shake up the power fuels and smart cabs? I feel like I'm always eating the same things! lol

I speak for just my self but I have realized after dating 'Bad Boys' that women don't generally know they are about to embark on a Bad Boy ride. Most bad boys tend to have more confidence, which is very attractive to women. A woman won't usually initiate a move and usually relies on a man to do so. And the chances of the…

I'm very happy and excited to say that I was able to keep my resolve at that group outing! I wasnt able to check the mwnu because everything was already preordered for us and yes you guessed it... It was all fried, greasy and laden with either cheese or sauces. But I didnt touch a single morsel. I did however raid the…

I'm trying to find the menu to this place but what a pain! I also worked out today and have about 960 calories to use for the rest of the day. I promise I will try to focus on fun instead of everything I eat or drink. It's just a little tough when you have struggled for as long as you can remember with your weight. I do…

Good to know I'm not the only one being hassled about not drinking! I will use the water tip for sure, just have to make sure to get to the bar alone! Thank you!

I'm 5'6" and my goal weight right now is 140. I have a medium frame so anything under 130 would make me look emaciated. There are so many things that come into play when it comes to a 'goal' weight. Build and frame are two important ones. Also, everyone carries their weight differently too. I say, whenever you feel your…
