JJ Asking opinions about others journeys back to health and fitness it totally appropriate. I think the wording of your title makes it sound like you are asking for opinions on when you should start up again, that is obviously something nobody can answer because its situation is unique. The best course of action is…

I think your smart to get a trainer to help get you started. They will help your form, help you with your routine, you will feel way more confident. You shouldn't feel an anxiety at all, especially if you dont know anything, the good trainers will be thankful you dont have any bad habits

Great list, I might add a timer. Your smartphone or a $20 gymboss where you can set the time of the exercise and the rest. I set up 1 min stations with 10 sec breaks between sets. Check out the site, do a little research on different methods. Weightlifting - lots of info here Hiit - bodyrock.tv or you tube zuzanna for…

Wow, that is incredibly awesome!!!! attraction rather than promotion ... she wanted what you have

No additional ideas ... I would like to go as Jonny but I dont think we could pull it off with clothes that fit me. He is cracking me up so much, last night ..his lace top ..omg. He is absolutely telling Putin to stick it. Fall back ..leaning to Harding and Gallooley

If you are kidding- Answer- Get the Tommy Boy DVD and watch how Tommy Boy flexes walking by the hot girl in the pool. Just practice that If you are serious - Do not worry about it at all, I think you be surprised how people think. It really fires me up watching someone overweight change their life. Go in the fattest, its…

Maybe your boyfriend is a good guy and needs to be reminded. Who knows, he could have a completely shocked look on his face at 1) that you were upset by it, and 2) he was stupid not to realize it. You owe it to yourself, your relationship and him to say something in a nice way. If he cares about your feelings, its easy. If…

In tough break ups or situations, I would circle the wagons and make improvements in my life. That would mean working harder at work, eating better, exercising more. I knew thats how I would feel better, like an inventory and then a cleansing. Always so much in my life to be thankful for, just had to focus on that, and…

Echoing the advice from above, it is 99% of the time food consumption and tracking issues. You can totally do this, hang in there.

reconsider asking* at the gym ... its by far a sign of strength than it is of weakness. Develop a relationship with someone in your gym Tiger Woods is a pretty good golfer and he has a coach Peyton Manning has a coach I always ask because I want to learn, its quicker than trial and error, and I learn form * ask an employee…

I second chin ups for arms (although I prefer pull ups for lats too). Our home workout corner has a legit pull up bar, but we also have a doorway pull up bar in the 2nd hallway so the kids jump on it all the time. My daughter wants lebert bars, we are considering them as well

I went to running store and had my running form checked. My right side is over striding (not close to being over hip, heel strike is unstable, pronate outward). Both legs are the same length. He recommended I practice cadence and said to find an app to help. Any follow up recommendations on an app to practice cadence for…

I have been training with KBs for 4 years. I really prefer the functional advantages of KBs vs straight bar lifting for myself as it connects my body/movements. You tube has some great videos, I would try to check out those who talk about form when discussing the exercise. I really think its worth it to get an instructor…

I could eat an entire pizza myself so its not easy for some to stop at 1 or 2 pieces. Call it a flaw, whatever, its me Here is how I have successfully curbed it to just have 1 or two slices - eat solid meals during the day so I dont find myself in a huge deficit, being hungry - if I am hungry on the way there, I stop and…

Hang in there .. it will come off If you burn more than you intake, you will lose weight. the weight loss path could look like an EKG reading but from beginning to end, it will eventually be lower. Even though you are weighing/counting everything review it and see if there are opportunities to fine tune. A previous poster…

I have been to a few seminars recently, I am running a maraton but my daughter is an aspiring runner as well. Cross training is really important. Make sure you strength you glute med correctly. The video attached has a great drill called a face the wall squat. There is a great stretch that may help you at the 1:10 mark If…

Why be negative like that, even if you didnt realize his laugh emoticon was self deprecating. Hey, congrats on the weight loss ... almost at 100, that impressive (I am NOT being sarcastic), that is legit keep it up.

Crossfit is a lot of fun, its hard work, enjoy it (pay attention to form is true in all exercises but with this style of workout, really concentrate when you start getting high in reps) After struggling with the times offered at our local Crossfit (we just wanted to be done earlier), a group of 15-20 guys do a workout in a…

I would think if you are making a lifestyle change the best option in the long run maybe to bring a dish of what you want and let there be waste or take home if that happens. - people with peanut allergy kids usually bring a safe dessert - vegetarians usually bring a vegetarian dish For you, look for the base proteins (eat…

Your original post was totally appropriate for this site. You were asking people with experience in fitness growth/weight loss about their experiences after success with less supportive comments. As you realized too, when you ask a question like this, you see the wonderful levels of coping skills people have, lol. Be your…

What is your fall back spot when you "give up"? Meaning, are you going to go back to the same lifestyle that caused you to feel uncomfortable and put on weight, why do that? Good news, you figured out whatever you did in the last month isn't enough. I would take a serious, thorough inventory and make an adjustment. Food,…

It was a crazy morning today, so I ate on the run and was glad to have the "extra" calories in the banana. OP, good post and question as it really educates everyone. When I am working on a project in my house I bring my tool box. I have man different tools and I know the different things they do, its the same with food…

track my calories for weight loss....the boards purely for fun and entertainment.

I second this. When adding foods (like russett potato), scanning the barcode usually has the potassium amt included, if it does, I try 3-4 entries and one of the usually has it
