Having a strong core can prevent a whole host of injuries. So yeah, I say it is worth it.

All of this. Also, can you add some things you DO like in to a salad? Like chicken, berries, low fat cheese, etc?

I make my own. 4 oz skim milk 4 oz FF Greek yogurt a banana or cup of berries 1/2 tablespoon of all natural peanut butter or almond butter sprinkle of cinnamon dash of vanilla 1/2 tablespoon of dried coconut 1/2 scoop of chocolate protein powder ice. It is around 300-330 calories. You can obviously make it more or less by…

Have you tried shaking up your exercise routine? You should vary it every 6 weeks or so.

All of this. Your diet is full of sugary, processed junk. Try increasing your veggies and protein and eating clean. Cut out the added sugar and processed foods. Do you really need to eat 4 Oreos daily? I know I sound a little harsh but if you want to lose the weight, you have to put the work in. I make my diet full of…

I've been struggling with the same issue. I've been on tamoxifen for almost a year now. For the past month, I've been busting my *kitten* at the gym and really watching what I eat....and I'm barely losing weight. I really share your frustration. I have an appointment with my medical oncologist tomorrow and I plan on asking…

All of this. Just because you like your trainers doesn't mean they are good running shoes for you. When I went to get fitted for running shoes, I didn't tell them I was in any pain. They had me run on a treadmill for 30 seconds while they taped my gait. He asked if I was having any right knee pain (which I was) and I asked…

This is me as well. I've gained weight since lifting but it is all muscle. I've lost several inches around my waist and hips and my body fat % has decreased. OP, don't be afraid to lift. The numbers on the scale may not go down, but you will be losing fat for sure. I take measurements every six weeks and have my body fat…

Thank you :)

Ditto on the running tights. They keep you warmer because they taper around your ankle which keeps the cold air out. I live in WNY and run outside in 10 degree weather. I love either Nike or Under Armor running tights. Under Armor will use the term "heat gear" to signify it is supposed to keep you warm. Both are usually…

You really can do anything you put your mind to. Last fall I ended up with back spasms which sidelined me for 4 weeks. I just got cleared to work out and then I sprained my ankle which sidelined me for 8 weeks. Just got the okay to work out again and got diagnosed with cancer. That was 6 months ago. I've since kicked…

This exactly. I drink 1-2 protein shakes a day (I struggle meeting daily requirements through real food) and I lift heavy 3-4 days a week and I am NOT bulking up, lol. I'm actually losing weight and making my muscles more defined.

Nice work!

If you are lifting weights, it is totally possible to weigh more than you did before and lose body fat. I weigh more than I did 6 weeks ago but I lost an inch around my waist and 1% of body fat. I lift 4 days a week and do another 2 of cardio. I hate scales too. I would honestly take measurements bi-weekly/monthly and go…

I've definitely gone through this where I just get bored doing the same old, same old. When I hit this, I find something new to try. Some have been hits and some have been misses. I also did an outdoor bootcamp class and was just blah about it. Why not pick something else new to try? i.e. running, spinning, New Rules of…

I just saw this and I'd love to join as well!
