Yes I'm sorry that's what I mean, I can't go all the way down. I do what I can, but there is alot of room for improvement. When I go "down" I dont have enough strength to push myself back up. Would you say that's tricep?

Add me too! Where in Texas will you be at?

yes the measurements are the same. I dont expect to see a change so fast.

HMMMM can you tell me more about this? Please?

I only said that because I know how rude and smart arses people can be. Thank you all for your feed back. I do wear a HRM when I do my workouts to see what I burn. I will invest in a foodscale as well.

How long were you on TDEE-20% before you decided to go back to what you are doing? Did you see a change immediately?

I'm curious to see any resonses too. I feel like my calculations are to high as well.

Im 27, but have lived on my own for the past 5 yrs. (I also have a 7yr old son, single mom)I recently moved back home to help pay for tuition ( out of pocket). Really you just need to focus on a budget.I have never really struggled to pay my bills. Everything i have i can say that i obtained it on my own. Never had a bf/…

thankyou very much! and I don't know. I dont think so. it's saying. look in the mirror yourself.....I think????

around the 50lb mark. That's when i also noticed the change in my body, clothes etc...

I've had my vibrams for about 2 weeks now. Im slowly transitioning into them.Its recommended to start slowly. I have been walking in mine for about an hr aday. I will slowly start jogging in them. Love them so far. Yesterday I did Body Pump class in them at the gym, and I felt great. My balance and stability was even…

I live in Dallas, and have never known anyone on MFP from Dallas too! Send me more info please!!!

Love all these posts.And I thought I had it tough! You guys are awesome!

You're an ispiration. Proof that women can and should lift weights!!!!

Poor us!

When I was at my lowest point in life, dealing with depression. I once at an 8 Piece family meal of fried chicken. 8 piece, 4 bisciuts and a large side order. ........yea...never again:noway: . Its actually been months and months since I've had one piece of fried chicken :smile: .

*hilarious

I hate cooking as well. I buy those Healthy Choice frozen meals for lunch at work. All are about 260- 320 cal. Good combination of protien, carbs, and fats. Much better than going out and grabbing a burger.

Everything seems right, but remember you need to change up your workouts every 6 weeks or so. So If you've been doing this for 2 month bow, its time for a change. Your body has adjusted to this routine. You've hit a plateau. Try something different now.

it been almost 2 years that ive lost 70 lbs, my skin especially underarms isnt getting tighter. after i lose 40 more lbs, im going to think of surgery.

Agree^ When I did have a 24hr trainer we would spend 5-15 min stretching. I can stretch on my own, lets get to the real workout. He would take me to the machines, but I told him I prefer to do free weights or use my own body weight. I didnt want to question his intelligence so I did what he suggested.

Both. He does the exercises along with us. He is in much better shape than the two of us, so of course he will do more than us. For example I'll do a set of 10 push ups, other friend will do 15 and he'll do 20. Each one of us has a different fitness goal. I want to lose weight, other friend is already small doesnt need to…

Thanks for the advice, we are going to talk to the manager this weekend and see what happens.

Yup this sums it all up

I know thats all they want, for me to pay their trainers:grumble:

ok guys after going through 6 pages of my contract, this is what i found: Personal Training: No member may train another member for compensation. If 24 Hour determines that such training occurs at a 24 Hour facility, the trainer and/or trainee may lose their membership. Using the 24 Hour Fitness USA, Inc. (24 Hour)…

Isnt this why I signed a waiver. To relieve them of any responsibilities?

Yes , but that is my decision if i want to workout with a non certified friend. I do remember signing a waiver that 24hr is not responsible for any injuries or even death while working out in thier facility. It's totally up to me. If i break my leg or bust my *kitten*, then all i can do i cry about it and go home limping.…
