welcome! sent you a friend request :) I'm also here to lose 10-15 lbs so we can cheer each other on.

I used to live near Rochester, yay for upstate NY :)

oooo bumping this for later

don't be in a hurry about losing weight. It's always tempting, we all want to get that stunning body quickly, but the quicker the results the quicker you can gain the weight back. remember, this is a lifestyle change, not a momentary change where you diet and exercise intensely and then go back to ''normal.'' MFP is a…

really want to try these!

I'll keep at it then! Thanks Steve, I really, really appreciate it.

Hm... Can your flat foot do the same movements your arched foot does? I have a condition called tarsal coalition, it's not common, and can happen in either one or both feet. It basically means two bones are joined when they're not supposed to. This restricts some movements (I for example can't rotate my left foot) and over…

I don't know what you're reading, but take this as food for thought: Your body may just be the type to accumulate fat on your stomach, so until you get rid of all of the other fat, it may not seem to be going away.

Yep, so any weight that allows me to do 6-12 reps would be doing the trick, any less would be too heavy and any more would be too light for muscle growth. So say I keep increasing my weights over time as needed, and three months from now I finally have ''toned up'' to my desire and wouldn't want muscles to get any larger,…

Makes a lot of sense, so just making more repetitions of the same thing will just have the muscle adapt to those small bits of tension, instead of adapting to larger bits of tension. The way I'm seeing it is if you yank something elastic with a bigger force, it would take fewer repetitions to make it stretch out than if…

Completely, completely agree. People need to stop obsessing over a number on a scale, even MFP says body measurements are a more accurate way of tracking your weight loss. I personally would just love it if people said my goal is to look like this: ___ and this is how I'm getting there. I just hope people don't fill that…

Wow... I sincerely applaud you for your commitment to helping people out on here. I read 8 pages of this in one sitting and am so happy I found this. I knew I needed something more than cardio to get these 10 lbs off of me, so I started looking into strength straining, slightly afraid of bulking up, but knowing if I ever…

I'm also in for losing 10 pounds :) would love to have friends who share the same goal!

thanks! this really helps :) these 10 pounds need to know they're going

I have the same question... and also lack a heart rate monitor.

are you going to gyms with televisions? I personally find it tough to concentrate on a television show while working out, so I just listen to my ipod and turn on heavy music that keeps me going. I usually do a combination of strength training and cardio after. Strength training for around 45mins (about 5 different…

I'm 5'2" and my goal is 115. I have a small frame so I think that weight will finally have me look more proportional.

I'm also in for losing 10 pounds, maybe more depending :) Good luck! You can add me for mutual motivation/cheerleading!

Doing it with other people is WAY better than doing it on your own. We're all on the same boat and we all know it's not easy :) feel free to add me

I'm 5'2" and according to BMI, my weight should be between 101.2 - 136.7 lbs, to be healthy. Anything under that would be unhealthy. 95lbs would be unhealthy for someone taller than me. Although I would prefer being underweight than overweight, being underweight shouldn't be anyone's goal. Many girls have body image…

great, I will look into these, thanks!

5'2", currently at 124, have lost about 10 pounds, would like to loose 10-15 more. Just joined :)
