I just received a letter today from my doctor that my cholesterol is to high. total cholesterol is 267, HDL are fine but Triglycerides are 233 and LDL cholesterol is 155. He also sent a prescription for Lipitor. I called my mother and she really doesn't want me to start taking it. She said between diet and exercise I can…

WTG!! You look Amazing keep up the great work!

I can run over a mile on the treadmill without stopping but as soon as I started outside I couldn't even run 2 mins. My husband had me try something new. If you are running on a track run the straight ways and walk the corners. Man I did that and I finally ran (plus walked) my first 5k today in 36:08 mins. Keep it up you…

Thank you! I lived in Michigan my whole life lol. Moved 4 years ago. I did sign up for a 5k on July 4th (my friend talked me into it) hopefully I can do it.

Congratulations and WTG! Hard work pays off. I am running my first 5k the 4th of July hopefully I do as well as you did.

I also just bought the Brooks Ghost 5 and love them. I would go to a running store and be fitted just like everyone is saying. I didnt when I first started running and omg my feet were killing me. Good luck!

Well said sunshinedazed !!!!

Are you going to the gym to look cute or workout?? I think most of us go to the gym for one reason and one reason only and that is to workout!

Shock your body! Over eat one day or skip dinner then breakfast the next day. But start drinking more water.Also if your sugar is from alot of fruit really cut your fruit back I had to. I was doing the same thing and finally just shocked my body and lost. Good luck and don't give up!!

I quit smoking Nov 6th, 2011 cold turkey. I did put on 18 pounds and yes it is harder to get it off but let me tell you I feel so much better. I can now run and do a hard hour workout without feeling like my lungs are going to give. The allen carr book is great. Good luck if you need support please feel free to add me.

I have this book Allan Carr's book "The Easyway to Quit Smoking on my kindle. If you have a kindle I will loan the book to you. GREAT BOOK. I quit 5 1/2 months ago and feel wonderful but I really feel tath you have to be ready and want it too.

Well said. Thank you!!!

Kennesaw GA here!!!

I know how you are feeling. Started working with a trainer 6 weeks ago and have lost 9 1/2 inches in six weeks but the scale in 9 weeks has only went down 7 pounds. I keep just telling myself that every bit is worth it and keep going. Congrats on losing inches.

Hang in there!! I have been working with a trainer for 6 weeks now 2 days a week also workout for atleast 60 minutes a day. I have only lost 5 pounds in 6 weeks but I have lost 3.5 inches of my waist and 3 1/4 inches off my hips so I know we are doing something right. My trainer said please stop looking at the scale and…

I would say get a HRM I bought the timex hrm and I love it. I workout with a trainer and had no clue how many calorie I was burning. When I used the HRM for the first time with the trainer I was burning more calorie then I even thought but everytime is different all depends on how high your heart rate is getting. Good Luck!

MGD 64

I have 3 chicldren, 21 (boy well man) 15 (girl) and 7 (girl). I wouldnt change it for nothing.

Kappyd........ I also use fitness 19 and it is perfect. Who needs all that other stuff. I am there to workout and thats what we do. Myself, husband, and 2 daughters go and it's $40 a month.

I quit 3 months ago cold turkey and haven't touch one since. Try reading the book Easyway to Stop Smoking for women by allen carr. It will really help you and also you can smoke while you are reading the book but by the end I dont think you will ever need or want another one. Please feel free to add me as a friend for…

MGD 64 is my choice! Have fun.

MGD 64 is my choice!

I'm in!!

Yum. Have to try this! Thank you for sharing.

I would try just lifting some weights anything to get your heart rate up should work. Just remember this is just a little bump in the road so if you can't do anything for 5 days just watch what you are eating and start running or walking again when you are better. Hope you great better soon!
