Possibly the trainer wants you to learn correct form with the machines, then get you back in free weights. Just ask him/her why you are being told to use the machines, when you really want to focus on the free weights. If the answer is not what YOU want in the end (using free weights), get another trainer.

You look fantastic! Great job!

It is very common that people think we have all found a magic bullet to weight loss. It is as though they were not paying attention (if someone sees you every day) or they think you have had "help" (such as surgery, Nutrisystem, etc). I saw my son for the first time last weekend - had not seen him in 18 months. He was…

Great job! You look fantastic!

I went shopping for shoes .... and ended up buy a dress and a sweater in another size smaller than I thought I was. (Jeans, however, I cannot quite yet fit comfortably in the next size down).

Fantastic! Great job!

Congrats on making it to ONEDERLAND! Welcome! Great job!

Amazing! Great job!

I can see the difference - great job!

JAW DROPPING! You look fantastic! More importantly, you must feel wonderful, and now able to live life and not sit on a couch with video games. Thank you for sharing your inspirational story. I think the best advice you have given (and I have given the same) .. you must lose weight for yourself, no one else.…

Maybe there is a full moon or some "universal reversal" of scales today! I too, got on the scale this morning, and no change! I was so bummed .. until I put on my dress pants for work that I only bought a few months ago, and they are way too big!

I purposely bought only 2 pair of dress pants for work a few months ago. This morning - they are WAY too big!

Great job!

It is a HUMONGOUS deal! WAY TO GO! Welcome to ONEderland!

This was the absolute best NSV ever! Congrats to you both!

Great work! I too was hesitant to take pictures, but it is so important since the scale is not always the best indication of progress. Way to go!

Great job!

I posted this in another thread. About 30 more pounds to go.

You look gorgeous! Great job!

This is really a personal decision. You will get replies that give you math formulas based on TDEE, etc. I found that I ate at a deficit to lose, and then in addition did not eat my exercise calories back in order to lose a little more. It is not a lot more loss because you are building muscle. Also, if you decide to eat…
