we have a vacation at a clothing optional resort in Jamaica in july of 2015. i have about 30lbs to drop before then. we always wanted to vacation co but wieght issues has kept us from doing what we really wanted to do.

"Skinny fat" is the term for wieght loose without strength training. sure you can eat right and still loose weight. But you will also loose muscle. Muscle is what makes you look good. muscle is what makes your skin tight. and muscle is what will burn calories even when you are in rest mode. you will still loose wieght with…

yup me too sue. when i'm done i am a hot mess. i have never sweat like that before at the gym. but now i see the pounds dropping every day

muscleandstrength.com has some great ideas on mixing it up i find if i change my workouts every month my muscles don't get bored

getting old does suck but that dosent mean you have to grow up!!!

i am just to the point i can go about 30 min and burn about 410 calories. and i too have lower back issues and i find if i am up straight and not leaning or hanging on the pain is much less. 25lbs down and 25 to go!!!

The balance should get better once you get your core muscles engaged. try planking before you work out after a few weeks you will see and feel a difference

Great job starting the gym. the hardest thing to do is to take that first step into the gym and not care about looking stupid. as for the smoking i am struggling to quit. i have lost almost 25lbs and i feel great except for the smoking i have never had a demon this bad in my life. every day is a battle that i don't always…

i too have issues with my feet going numb. i thinks it's bc they end up pushed all the way forward. when i make an effort to keep them in place i can go much longer with less pain

and my old gym didn't have them wither so when i saw it a first idk what the hell it was or what to do with it

and it goes great before a strength training workout 30 mins on arc a 40 mins working out.

I know they over estamate thier burn but from what i have read it says as long as you put in your wieght and skill level it's pretty right on. i sure hope so. as of today i wiegh 213 thats 23 pounds in 3 months another 40 to go. try it you will love it
