The back fat you mention around the bra straps might just occur because you're wearing the wrong bra size. I had the same problem, then I retook my measurements and found out I was actually a cup bigger than I thought and that my band size was way too big. My back fat pretty much vanished once I wore the correct bra. I'm…

Doch, das passiert leider auch. Ich versuche dann immer die Neigung des Sattels zu verstellen, wie du gesagt hast. Eine Weile hat das funktioniert, mittlerweile ist das aber wieder vorgekommen. Jedenfalls, danke für den Tipp, ich werd mal schaun.

Ach, ich denke, es wird schon genügend Leute geben, wenn ich mir so die deutschsprachige Database anschaue. :) Ja das bin ich auch, wobei ich für das ganz kalte Wetter ein Standrad habe. Wirklich schön zum Radfahren ist es hier nur in den wärmeren Monaten. Ich trau mich noch nicht ganz , in der Stadt herumzufahren wie das…

Pilates 5x a week for 30 minutes before I go to uni and 30 minutes to 1 hour on my stationary bike 2x a week, whenever my favourite shows are on because I put it in front of the TV.

Right now I'm swamped with homework, but I will try to visit my doctor Moday or Tuesday after uni. I don't really like the feeling of hunger pangs anyways, so starving is not an option. :laugh: I always try to go for something filling and nutritious. Well, I'm 21, the last time I had my period was in April. I went off…

Sorry for the OT, but what's up with your ticker?

OP, I think they might just be hangry. :laugh:

Will definitely try that! Do you take them with your meals or does that not matter?

Usually I try to get some protein in before and right after excercise, mostly in the form of meat, eggs, milk or cheese and so far it has worked out pretty well for me. Maybe I am doing too much, I'm not sure, I felt like this last time when I was severely anemic, but it's not like I don't eat meat or anything. :/ The…

This site has helped me a lot. You start with the beginners calendar and ony invest 30 minutes a day and then you move on to the monthly calendars or devise your own plan there's lots of videos on the site divided by body focus. http://www.blogilates.com/calendar/beginners-calendar-for-popsters-just-starting-out Good luck!…

About going out with friends: I go out with my friends 1-2 times a week, depending on my schedule and I just put in some cardio on my hometrainer for an hour or two before I go and as a result, I won't feel bad about that pizza or that beer I had. Maybe this is something you could do? My mum bought me my hometrainer as a…

Thanks for the info and the link, convict conditioning *does* look interesting, so I'll try it out and see if I like it. :happy:

I'll look into it myself too, but what sort of resistance program would you recommend? Like I mentioned above, I can't really go to the gym because it's too expensive, unfortunately. :/

Interesting, especially the lat part, didn't know about that. It is probably a bit of both, My friends' birthdays all happen to fall in September, for some reason, and I have a really hard time tracking when I go out with them, even though I excercise beforehand. About the muscles: usually I bike on my hometrainer between…

Oh I'm not discouraged at all, I'm pretty happy about the loss, I was just wondering if that happened to other people too. :smile:

Argh I almost reported your post instead of quoting *lol* um I bike about 4 times a week at 23-26 mph for 30-45 minutes and I started Blogilates about two weeks ago for toning. I only have a dumbell at home and can't afford to go to a gym, so I haven't done much with it except arm curls, but i think I will look into…

I just finished day 8 today and so far, I'm feeling great, even though it was a bit tough at first because I have a really weak core. Most of her workouts are short and intense (about 30 minutes) so it's perfect for people who don't have too much time on their hands. I also find that if I do it right in the morning I feel…

Here's what I do: power through two hours of cardio beforehand and do all the shots afterwards. :laugh:

Hallo aus Österreich! Add me if you want. :happy:

I can see how that would be problematic and just so nobody thinks otherwise, I do not mention his weight in front of him, my mum does, and whenever I catch her do it I tell her afterwards discreetly that she should please not do it for the exact same reasons you listed. The thing is, he doesn't run if he can avoid it, he…

She already went to see a doctor with him, just yesterday, which is when I felt I had to make this entry. It was the doctor who told her that my brother was going to be overweight soon. Now, I don't think she told the doctor what the kid normally ate, which is why the doctor probably just said "more excercise" without…

Hey guys, sorry for the late reply I wanted to answer the rest of your posts right after coming back from biking, but I hurt myself really bad - I went for a bike in the forest along with my dad, oversaw one root and fell from my bike, with my bike falling on top of me. Now my legs are black and blue all over and while I…

The wholee feeding thing rings true to me - she tried to make me happy when she divorced from my dad when I was nine by giving me junk food and soda but she does this all the time. For example, I am mad at her for something, so she goes shopping and gets something for me too, be it food, clothing or books. So in a way, I…

Okay so I had a nap (more like fell asleep at the computer heh) and I thought about what you and another poster (also a mother) said. You both said you would feel offended. What exactly would your reasons be for that? And if yor eldest child came to you and told you he wouldn't want you to commit the same mistakes with…

I mentioned above that she did raise me the same way. I also mentioned that I have a physical disability that would make it necessary to be on a strict diet, which she didn't put me on. Like with food, she was also in denial about me having mobility issues. She always told me that it wasn't so bad and that a few extra…

Yes, she did feed me the same way, and I too, was almost overweight at his age. It didn't get better. I developed stretch marks all over my legs when I was 9 years old. Keep in mind that I have a physical disability, so for me to be able to walk properly, I really should not be overweight. However, by doing that (feeding…

Considering I needed years of therapy because of her (yay body image issues), I'm not sure if I just want to "let her bring up her child", especially when she's setting him up for the same host of problems I am having now. I'm not jealous, just really angry at her, that's all.

Well, okay, the momma's boy part is what would bother me most, personally, besides the diet thing, but it's mostly about convincing my mother to change his diet, but I don't know how to convince her since she seems to be in denial about almost everything. Should I log his food intake like I mentioned and show it to her?

I told her that too, but she's weak and loves to indulge him. Mostly she's just happy when he eats *something* but obviously that's damaging. And if I tell him "No you can't have that, you already had enough of t yesterday" or "You can't eat pizza every week" he runs up to her and asks her about it and she just replies…
