  • Hi ladies... snow huh... I must admit I miss it, living in Florida for the past year or so, and 2 years in the desert, oh man do I miss the cold!!! So yesterday I came across the Strong Curves free sample and completely fell in love with it (I love the idea of a perfect butt). Some of the exercises are exactly as the ones…

  • awww @sleepyjen, hope u get better SOON :) virtual hugs for u. I've been annoyed today, first I met some guy who noticed my sports watch (Polar F4) and we ended up talking about fitness... until I said the dreaded words "I'm starting to lift".... then he went on and on about how lifting will make me bulky, and that why…

  • @bananahb33 - I started the squats with an empty bar in a smith machine and OMG, it was hard. For the row machine I did it with 40lbs and again, it was hard, I don't know if I should go up or do another round with the same weight. push ups, i'm not even sure, Insanity has me doing all kinds of crazy push ups, in the HIIT,…

  • @mnsmov15 - How do you feel about your first workout? Ready for B1? @bettie haha that was me on Monday at the first gym I checked, walking around with a book, pen, and sheet of paper.

  • I'm on Month 2 week 4 (starting today), omg and I'm loving/hating it so much. I haven't lost any pounds, I guess because I'm not following the diet, who knows... but my body has CHANGED a lot. I've lost a lot of body fat and inches, I haven't measured them but I can see and so can everybody else. Month 1 first week, I…

  • Coming from a large latin family (aka, lots of food every day- rice and beans), it took me a while to explain to them that I'm eating less (or no) rice and more salad, protein shakes. they also thought i'd start working out and leave it right after a week. when they saw I was committed to it to a whole life style change,…

  • Thanks sleepyjen for your suggestions and CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! on getting back to lifting... I totally agree with you on the losing weight (scale) part.

  • Hi ladies!!! this is my first time posting, so I might go a little bit crazy with so many things I want to say. I have been reading/following this post and MFP for a while now, I feel so familiar already, I was just shy to say something, so please feel free to add me. I was always very thin and practiced sports since I was…
