I just joined! I have been struggling a lot with my weight and working out this year, so hopefully being in a group with other riders will help :) Next month I am starting a quarter lease on a fantastic horse (and hopefully will do a half lease starting in January) and I owe it to myself to lose weight and get in better…

I started yesterday! Feel free to add me as well. I know I'll need the encouragement. I am so sore today.. I am planning on taking a 20 or so minute walk before doing day 2 tonight.

Run for your lives looks like so much fun! They had one in CA this weekend.

I'm not saying that. I was just using it as an example since it is related. I am not going to avoid what is heavy for me because I don't want to be a bodybuilder. When I hear "heavy lifting" I see in my head a bunch of people lifting massive amounts of weight. I'm saying that probably won't be me because I am not going to…

I realize that. Keep in mind that yesterday was my first time with free weights. On the machines, I do at least triple the amount of weight. Sad to say, but 10 pounds for the dumbbell bench press (and incline) was heavy for me. I tried the 15 and could only do it three times. I will obviously increase weight as I get…

Yeah, I'm not doing "heavy" lifting. I am pretty much a beginner at free weights and the different muscles that are needed are so not strong yet. I've also not been exercising on a regular schedule and only just started back up this month after a few months off. I'm a noob. My ultimate goal to just get back on the horse…

I wasn't doing high intensity cardio (a comfortable zone 2 according to my HRM).. I ended up being able to do about 30 min. We did upper body for lifting and my cardio was on the bike. Earlier in the year, I was working out 5-6 days a week and I would do the weight machines M T TH F with cardio (for about an hour total…

A coworker did this and lost no weight. He said he felt better after a few weeks, but no weight loss. The person who sold him the product lost about 40 pounds on it.

What I have also done is create a little card (from a spreadsheet) that lists what my maintenance, BMR, and minimum calories needed with exercise in 5 pound increments. That way I always know what those numbers are. I put it in my purse so I always have it with me.

I'm sure if you can get the stats somewhere online (Iike maybe the square footage), you could guesstimate it? I don't live in NO, but nearby. I dislike going to NO ;)

Dry eyes. Contacts end up giving me headaches. And I looove contacts. I was going to try the dailies but I could afford both glasses and contacts. Next year I'm thinking about trying them because I prefer to wear contacts!

I've been riding since I was 12. In my early twenties I didn't ride regularly due to college. I had a horse from the ages of 14-19. He was an OTTB and we primarily evented. Also did the random h/j show now and again. He was my heart horse. He saved my life. I hope to have another like him someday. He was put down at age 28…

I'm Lovin this thread as well!! 5'10 here. I'd love to end up at 150 but my goal right now is 160. Started last June at 250 and currently 215 (had a set back for the first half of this year). Feel free to add me. I'd love some tallies as friends!!

I'm 5'10 and at my smallest (155) I was a size 10. I was a size 12 around 170 or so and size 14 around 185/90. I look damn good in a size 10/12. I have an hour glass figure and I have hips and large rear. It really depends on how you are shaped.

5'10 HW: 250 CW: 218.4 GW: maybe 150-160. May be higher/lower when I get there :) -Kat Ps- please feel free to add me!!!
