I too have lost some weight, and many of my body parts/areas have gotten smaller but I feel my inner thighs are huge! My quads look great! My calves are defined, but about halfway up my thigh, the layer of fat is noticeable, but I can feel muscle underneath- grrr. I working with a trainer, who is quick to say "they don't…

I think what made the most difference for me when I lost the majority of my weight 2 years ago, was that my motivation was based on getting healthy. Sure I wanted to be smaller, see a smaller number on the scale, buy smaller sized clothing and feel better about what I saw when I looked in the mirror, but I focused on…

It's best if you can find out what your trigger foods are and avoid them at all costs. For me, it's breads. If I allow myself one roll, I'll end up eat 3, 4 or more! If I eat a turkey burger on a roll, I crave more bread, so I end up eating it without a roll. So, I have pretty much nixed bread from my diet altogether. Try…

Know that at the end of the day, that you are doing this FOR YOU, and by you! Tell him that while you appreciate his offer to help, his methods of motivation are having the opposite effect. Try to focus not so much on the numbers and how much "weight" you want to lose, but more on getting healthy. My husband was almost…

I work with a trainer and I end up using all different kinds of equipment, both cardio and strength training. Per his recommendation, I am always mixing it up. Tue and Thur are cardio only days so one day Ill be on the treadmill, the other on the stair stepper, or elliptical. I do strength training with him on Wed and we…

Never too late to get healthy! Make small, sustainable steps to reach your goal! Good Luck!

I don't think you can fix pronation per say, but a shoe made just for pronation may help your run be more comfortable and reduce your risk of injury. Due to having broken my leg two times in my life, my right leg severely over pronates as well. My right ankle would give me a lot of pain and swell up after running. I ended…

I started at a 40DD and now a 36D and still use the same bra "system" to keep the girls from giving me a black eye lol. I use a cotton UNDERWIRE bra (My favorite is Lillyette/Lily of France and I get them at Kohl's @ $20) and then put a traditional sports bra over that.

general cardio is always an option 8)

I joined my gym 4 years ago, and now go over my lunch hour everyday. I was nervous and shy to try anything, but under the guidance of my trainer I have found much success. It was he that suggested I try BodyAtttack. I had never been one for much exercise, and to this day am not a fan of intense cardio but I went ahead and…

I take Body Attack regularly and average 500-600 calorie burn, per my HRM. (I'm 43, 5' 5" and 158lbs)

I too have heard the 1gr pr current weight as a target, but my trainer is happy with getting in 100g a day. It used to be hard for me to get that much, but thanks to his suggestion of eggbeaters + turkey bacon/sausage in the am, a lean protein with lunch/dinner(chicke/turkey/fish and my snacks of cottage cheese and greek…

For me, a trainer made all the difference! i worked out for a year at the gym and the same 5lbs up and down. Got with my trainer and lost 20+ lbs in 6 months, and more or less have kept it off for the past 2 years. Money can be an issue but I justify it using choosing to use my "funny money" on training, instead of eating…

I started working out in 2009, just doing cardio M, W, F over my lunch hour. I ended up working with a personal trainer(and am still happily with him!) in 2010, and increased my gym time to 5 times a week and my routine is pretty much unchanged: Monday: Cardio(stair treadmill, treadmill, eliptical, amt or similiar) and ab…

I am not a member, so I cannot be certain, but what I heard was that it was a decent gym is all you really need is to use equipment. If you are looking for a gym that offers classes like Zumba, Body Attack, Spin, etc and/or looking to work with a personal trainer, you may need to look elsewhere.

I would recommend going to a runner's store where they will watch your gait and properly fit you, specifically for running. Being new to running myself, this was a great benefit to me as I have a bad ankle(broken 2x). They really know their stuff and the price was actually cheaper than the shoes I got at Footlocker…

I wear mine no matter what type of exercise I'm doing. Like most days, I wore it when working with my trainer(mixes cardio and strength training) and burned 452 in an hour. (That dosn't sound so useless to me! lol) My heartrate monitor with calorie burner serves mostly as a motivational tool. Wear your whenever you want.…

Congratz! Keep up the good work!

Indeed! It feels great knowing that you made the most of your workout by actually feeling it the next day!

I am on the larger size myself (was 38DD- now 36D) and have similiar issues with alot of "bounce". What works for me is wearing a cotton underwire sports bra(Lilyette brand is my favorite) with a regular spandex type sports bra over it.

I had signed up to do an indoor triatholon. Being my first, I was unfamiliar with the protocol. This, on top of never doin any real lap swimming before, I was kinda nervous. So, when it came time for my heat, i jumped in the pool and did my best to get acclimated to the temperature. Then, I heard the whistle and took off…

I use a PolarFT7 everytime I work out, because I want to see how all my hard work is paying off lol! I find the calorie count VERy montivating and am always pushing myself harder to reach a number ending in 25, 50, 75 or 00. Mine was purchased for $75.00 on ebay, but have heard they are priced comparably at Target and…

I think the biggest problem with work and how it effects a healthy lifestyle is the lunches! So many eat out for lunch- and even if you try to choose healthy foods, the portions are out of control. Then, there are the many candy jars, vending machines, and bulks snacks floating around the lunchroom. And many places have…

No one ever regrets going to the gym and getting a good work out in. Many regret not going . . .

Patience, persistance, and perseverance my friend! I agree with the previous poster- week 1 is mostly water weight. A healthy, sustatinable and lasting rate is 1-2lbs pr week. You didnt gain the weight in a few weeks- it will take some time to get it off and if you want to KEEP it off, the changes you are making should be…

Replace it with healthier options! nuts, veggies, fruits, greek yogurts are always good! 90 calorie fiber one brownies? YUM! Sugar free pudding with lite cool whip- delish! Slim-a Bear (no sugar klondike bar) Steer clear of the simple carb snacks and they always make you crave more!

Awesome! Great time for a first 5K!!
