Hi, welcome I have only been here a short time, but I am making strides! You can request me as a friend and look at my diary anytime as well as write or just drop a few lines! When I came here I wasn't eating anything other than dinner for the past 2 yrs and an occasional breakfast, so the first thing you will see is that…

I think you coach needs a lesson in learning how to be tactful, instead of tactless! What an ignoramus! :huh: :explode: In a position that is suppose to increase your confidence, and self esteem my grade for him/her would be an F! F stands for failure to do a proper job in a proper manner! If it were me I would report the…

Hi Melody. I'm Lynda and I would like to welcome you back! I have a couple of concerns regarding you working out again. You didn't say what your BP numbers were just that you are fighting high BP. Depending on how high it is you may be better off starting out by walking slowly ( leisurely ) for a short distance , and a…

I am 5'2' and weigh 125lbs I lift weights, prior to that I weighed 110 lbs and wore a size 4 I enjoy the free weights but sadly I did bulk up, which I am now trying to undo with less weight, and less reps! I have been a fitness buff all my life, I have modeled for health club and gym brochures. If there was…

DO NOT< I REPEAT DO NOT FOCUS ON THAT SCALE!!!!! Focus on how your clothes are feeling on your body! The scale should not interfere with body fat loss, that's why I love my WW's digital. It does it all for me is easy to program for up to 4 people in the house! It gives you in this order...weight, body fat, body mass, water…

Start out light, make sure your running shoes have the proper support! The only way I would say o is if you were having problems with your joints! I would still ask your Dr. I could also suggest you start by walking for a few weeks and then ease into running walk a couple blocks, them run, a block. Increase as you get…

Don't forget your head weighs 10 lbs alone according to Medical Examiners! UGH! LOL

You are weighing yourself in the proper way! I do the same!

Can you march in place, or just move your feet side to side! Jumping jacks are too high an impact for a lot of people and this is what they do! you'll get the same benefit. just like push ups, if you cant do a complete one, and you don't have to, just do them on your knees, again, same benefit! Things don't have to be…

Hi Jenelle, You can count me in! I'm here to lose 10 lbs too, maybe even 15lb! I lift weights and i'm hitting the 130lbs since I stopped smoking almost 9 months ago! Not worried, I look good, just wearing a size larger. Last year I was pretty bulked up, especially in my biceps and chest! I went from a 36 B to a C cup, and…

I hate shopping for pants! I have to try 20 pairs on to find one that fits! They are a PITA!!!! They all have different cuts, some run small, and others run large! I am 5'2' petite, and it's a nightmare for me! Legs are too long, and in some to short. Waist is too tight, or fit perfectly, while the crotch hangs, or the…

Feel free to add me too! the more support the better!

Hi Tavins mom, 1st of all congratulations on your recent weight loss! We al go through things in our lives that make us seek comfort, food or otherwise. I am a little older, than you, ok, a lot older than you, and I have never experienced a weight problem in my entire life, so this is all so new to me! I was a former…

I like both Chobani and Oikos, either one will do for me! There both rich and creamy , have a large variety to choose from, and are very satisfying! I find that if I drink a bottle of 16.9 ozs of water, and then eat one I'm good to go!!! I also have gotten into the habit of having 20 raw almonds about a half hour before…

Hi, At least you ate something good for you! You can eat dark chocolate and almonds everyday, just don't go overboard! Both are very good for your heart!

Hey Smokey, I just wanted to tell you that although they are a hot trend right now, more and more info is coming out that they are not good for you. If you really want to quit, these are not going to do it for you, not only that these will just be another new habit, and a costly one at that, at least as much as cigarettes…

Hi, I just joined today, I want to lose 10 lbs or a little more, it really doesn't matter. I have always been serious about fitness and good health but 4 years ago I was robbed at gunpoint. I gained 10 lbs when I was prescribed medication because the trauma led to Graves disease, which is a thyroid disorder. If you know…

I agree! It all depends on the cut of the clothing, especially with pants! Some brands and designer labels run small while others run large. It is not easy finding pants that are true to size! I basically wear a 6 petite in Levi, Vanderbilt, Claiborne, and Lauren, while Calvin' have to be and 8 and Lee is 7/8:huh:

I am a former fitness Instructor and a former casino cocktail waitress! Everything changed during the last 4 years. I was robbed at gunpoint, developed PTSD and a thyroid disorder! Then My…
