I have started doing a lot of push ups and planks myself and have the same issues. A tingling, sort of pins and needles type of pain in my upper arms, mostly kind of in a circle around my shoulders. If you feel like you need to see a dr. then go ahead, I believe it sounds like simple muscle pain because your body is not…

Haha, I hear that is actually a reason why a lot of girls leave that gym. To the op: I used to work with old people for a few years. It is just their way of saying hi and making small talk. Like when you were younger and your grandma made some comment about school or your flower shoes, does she really care? probably not,…

You should definitely start c25k. I just started today and could only run 1 minute and then had to walk 4 to catch my breath and give my lungs a break. Everyone starts somewhere, you seem like you just have to motivate yourself first before others can help you. For workouts I am a big Jillian Michaels fan, she is quite…

I just started w1d1 today. It was not easy for me, but I know it will get better :) I ended up running for 1 minute and then walking for 4. Did a total of 30 minutes combined. Going to try and do better next time. Question: (maybe a silly one) are you supposed to be able to breathe through your nose while running or does…

Great job!! Looking good!

HAHA, I had the same issue! I tried some on and then did a little stretching and stuff in the mirror to make sure they were a good stretchy fit, and well hello there girl! Ya I didn't end up getting any. I did get some capris from their sleepwear section, nice drawstring thinner breathable fabric. However, I could only buy…

Would I call their program healthy, umm probably not. I do think that there clinic fulfills a niche that some people want/need. I can think of models or rich people with money to burn that just want to get as skinny as possible as fast as possible. I can see why a center exists and why people would go there, am I calling…

Oh a special snowflake!

To the OP: Thank you so much for the article! I really enjoyed it and have spent the last hour actually reading through the article and it's different links. I think some people that seem to be very against the article, did not even bother to read it or follow the authors train of thought throughout the readings. The whole…

Awesome job!

I had similar issues! I was fine with my arms, butt, legs etc, but my belly, especially from a side view, I definitely looked pregnant. I looked like I was having a baby! It just stuck out like that, eating and having to pee just made it stick out more. I think my problem was just not having any stomach muscles. I just…

My sister and I tried to join the air force, but they wouldn't take me and the recruiter at our local office told my sister "the air force doesn't take fat girls" My sister was not even that big at the time, she had a little extra around her belly and we later found out that the reason she was having trouble losing the…

That is exactly what I was going to recommend as well!

I just bought 6 week 6 pack abs, I really like it! It is not really a work out by itself, at least I didn't think so. It definitely works your abs, but is not an overall body workout, so I am doing it with my 30ds. I am working through level 2 right now on that. I asked in another thread here about other workouts and I…

Thank you!

I am 5'6 and my sw is 165 and that is still my current weight. My goal is set at 135. I was 120 two years ago, but my last job had free meals, breakfast, lunch and dinner and I went a bit crazy! Now that I don't work there anymore, I would really like to get back in shape and wear my old clothes again. I let some of them…

Hi there, I do not have a fancy phone. I was wondering if someone could help me figure out my calories? I weigh 165 and I do 30ds and I just started 6 week 6 pack abs. I currently am logging 155 for 30ds and then just a flat 100 for 6 week which is 35 minutes. Thank you.

I think that for larger people, it is not as important. However, reading around on the forum, it seems once you are under idk 170 or so, it seems that eating becomes more important in order to keep your body fueled. I have been eating most of my exercise calories back. I have lost inches but not weight yet. So since I have…

Skinny cow chocolate ice cream sandwiches and market pantry mint ice cream sandwiches I was surprised when I first started healthy grocery shopping that you can eat more ice cream then you can cookies and/or candy bars for the same calories.

No pain no gain Pain is temporary, quitting is forever You know the best thing about pain? It let's you know you're not dead yet (what gal doesn't get motivated by GI Jane?)

Thanks everyone for your help! Just looked up no more trouble zones and it sounds like exactly what I was looking for :) And it is only $7. I also like that it is a bit longer of a workout, I can cut back a bit on my hour of cardio and fit the whole dvd into my schedule. Will definitely order when I am closer to having…

I just started doing oatmeal in the morning too! I use the Quaker weight control, 3 flavors in a box for 160 calories each. I like it in the morning because I count my morning meal as only a snack in my diary. I like eating it right away in the morning because I do all my exercise in the morning (about 90 minutes) and it…

I am doing 1500 calories a day, eating a meal/snack every 3 hours and reaching the water requirements. I find it is difficult for me to eat my 1500 calories. Sometimes I find I am kind of making myself eat even though I am not hungry. I would suggest you look at how many calories you are allotting to your meals. You should…

#1 I had the same problem with level 1. Put me out for 3 days. Funny thing is for me, level one was a not as challenging as I thought it would be, so I was quite surprised I managed to injure myself. #2 I started level 2 today instead of going back to level 1. My plan is to get used to level 2 and then go back and do 10…
