46, from Marietta GA. Starting back up after being off here a while. Excited to see a middle Agers group!

Thank you! I had reviewed the other routines but couldn’t figure out how to translate some of the exercises to the machines. Greatly appreciate it!

Ah ok. I'm not to the running or jogging point yet, 285 lbs and bad knees but I can do treadmill elliptical and stationary recumbent bike

I'm not sure what body weight circuits or steady state cardio are. I'll ask the trainer about it on Tuesday. Thanks!

What is trx training?

Thanks everyone I made an appt to meet with a trainer at the gym next Tuesday.

Since I'm just starting out and am obese, I'm looking to boost my stamina, cardio capacity and strength. Overall benefits. I understand where it looks like I'm over complicating things, but I truly don't know whether it's better to devote days to cardio and other days to strength training or do some of each each day.…

Whether you agree with someone's opinon or not, that sure is a ****** way to speak to someone, "people like you". What ever happened to a little bit of courtesy and being civil in disagreements?

What do you mean this is not true? Measuring yourself is not an appropriate way to monitor progress?

Yes, I only weigh once a week on Wednesday, on the scale at the gym at work. I always have on my regular work attire each time I weigh.

I wanted to add that for some people, cutting triggers while trying to deal with more deep seated issues can cause even more distress. It depends on the other psychologoical factors you're working with. I suffer from generalized anxiety disorder so change of any kind can cause anxiety for me at times. It depends on what…

As someone who is in therapy, in school to become a therapist and is an emotional eater/sugar addict, for me it's about taking a wholeness approach. Yes, you might need to prioritize the issues you tackle first, but they are all tied up together in one uncomfortable bundle of vulnerability. For me, addressing the physical…

Did I just get RIck rolled?

I'm a 5'3 woman who weighs 275 right now and I do water aerobics 3 times a week. Admittedly it's not a gym pool, but during the summer there are a lot of kids there just coming to have fun. It's a little walk of victory for me from the aerobics area in the back all the way past the kids and their parents. Sure, some folks…

I have about 125 pounds to loose to get near a healthy range, about 150 to loose to get to where doctor's say I should be for my height. But hey, I'm not 18 years old so I'll settle for 150 :)

I have rescued a doxipoo and a chigi (dachshund/poodle and chihuahua/corgi) Somone had to have a step ladder for that last combo

Fafern, I had a Japanese Chin named Griffin. Before I adopted him at the age of 10 months, I'd never even heard of the bred. He was considered an "emporer Chin" because of his small size I guess. He was between 6-7 lbs. He was the best dog, so well behaved, such a friendly boy, he loved all people. In fact we used to do…

Both of my dogs sleep in bed with me, and sometimes my cat comes in and joins us too. The only thing is, I have to shut the bedroom door when I'm not at home because one of my dogs likes to pee on the bed :mad: He used to do it in the middle of the night too, if I got up to go to the bathroom. I don't know what it is with…

Exactly

I don't eat beef or pork so that really limits fast food appeal for me. The "chicken" that most places sell is a pretty far cry from the kind of chicken I want to eat. Since I've started really watching what I eat, exercising more and loosing weight I don't really crave that stuff anymore. My idea of fast food now is the…

Are you sure you don't have low blood sugar? That's what is sounds like to me. Alternately, if you're used to eating a lot of sugar and have now cut way back, it could be you coming down off the sugar....literally like a junkie. I suffer from that but it's getting better.

Girl, I'm all about it!

Oops, original post is now irrelevant....my response is now "have a beauty day"

Soulful eyes and beautiful skin
