I chose those words because my friend claims that's what her doctor said that she would build muscle under her belly fat and it would make her belly pooch out. I don't quite think a doctor told her that. But I just wanted some reassurance. That damn weight room is daunting by myself. I wanted to make sure that conquering…

I'm glad to see someone else with this question/problem. I started SL in November with a friend and then backed off in January and focused on cardio during January and February. I restarted yesterday. My friend refused saying that if she started lifting again it would just make her fat pooch out even more. I weigh 291 and…

Ok. Looking for a bit more input. I had set tomorrow as my first day back lifting but now I'm getting nervous. Am I gonna see the scale skyrocket? Or if I'm lifting 2-3 days a week and doing cardio 6-7 days a week should the scale still go down? I know that on my lifting days that the cardio should come after the lifting…

Awesome Work but ****..if you think 5.0 is slow...then I'm like turtle slow..my jog is between 4 and 4.5 mph...oh well, I'm gonna keep on trying

Don't do it. I too was a sucker for all the awesome testimonials. However I along with a few other people who never knew each other before we sought help/advice/information from our "wonderful" distributor felt bloated and sluggish and even gained weight. Every time you seek help from the person who sold you it they make…

I've been teaching for 7 years. I also hold a weekend job. I found that after my first year of teaching I hated taking my work home. I found ways to utilize my prep time and the kids' recess time to get my work done. I can't get up and workout early because I do bus duty starting at 630am. And I REFUSE to sacrifice my…

I'm thinking that I'm going to decrease the weights I ended with by 50% to start with rather than go all the way back down to the empty bar. My form is good so it seems kinda pointless to go all the way back to zero.

Thanks!

I actually just had to get a new FT7 cause my old one kicked the bucket and they were $20 cheaper at heartratemonitorsusa.com than on amazon

I know when I box I just attach the watch to my sports bra strap.

My motivation is the closet full of clothes that don't fit me anymore. And that my man of two years has been hinting at marriage quite a bit and I don't want to wait until I have a ring to start killing it at the gym. I want to look good for life. Not just a wedding.

Depending on what your doing I would say yes. If you're unsure though check with your doctor. Although my scenario is different my doctor told me to work out every day. She explained that it keeps my metabolism boosted. Although she recommended that one of the days be slightly less intense. So I do c25K 3 days a week plus…

awesome job! your collarbones really show in your after picture. That's where I first noticed my losses so I really pay attention to that. I have no idea why but I'm fascinated by having visible collarbones.

I formerly had JVC marshmallow ones. They have a puffy marshmallow like pillow around the plastic part of the bud and I never had any problems with them slipping. My boyfriend recently bought me a pair of Beats by Dr. Dre earbuds. They have a silicone pad that keeps them from slipping out of your ears. Although they are…

I'm in. Will post stats when I weigh in on Friday. I know February doesn't start until Saturday but Fridays are my weigh in days. Good luck everyone!!!!!

Anyone got any ideas?

I suppose I should have mentioned that I do eat at a deficit and am really conscious about making good food choices.

I've been known to just put a meat of some sort. I've done beef roast, pork roast and today I put a whole turkey breast in the crockpot. Depening on our moods, I season accordingly. Sometimes onion soup, sometimes creole, sometimes just some NuSalt and pepper, sometimes garlic. I just cook it on low all day long and we've…

I used to be a diet dr pepper junkie (2 to 3 20oz bottles a day). Then one day I decided I was gonna be done. I quit cold turkey and haven't had a diet soda in over 6 months. I honestly don't miss it anymore. The first week was hard but after that I found myself determined not to give in. I love my ice water and drink ice…

August 1st - 284.2 August 8th - no loss.....darn it

I started at a 26. At my lowest I was down to a 19. I had some setbacks and am in 20, 21, 22 (depending on the brand) and working my way back down. Don't ever give up. You've got this!!!

Weighed in this morning at 284.2. My ultimate goal is obviously a LOT less than just ten pounds, but hopefully I can be 273 by the end of August.. I would love to be 265 by my birthday 9/10. But I want to lose it the smart healthy way so I can achieve long term success.
