  • I love the elliptical I use at my fitness center. All my cardio is either from walking, stairs (real ones), or the elliptical. I have arthritis and the elliptical has never given me issues. It's a godsend! Strength training is also key, as you probably know. Muscle burns more than fat!

  • L1D3 done. My legs have been killing me since the first one. Slowly getting better but I'm still so sore all day (and night) long! I can already feel a difference in my body mechanics, though. I'm excited to have some strength! Anybody have some good tips to cope with the muscle aches? I did a lot more stretching after…

  • 5'3'' with 10 lbs to lose! I'm 31 and my metabolism has hit a wall... nothing in my closet fit and I kind of had a mini breakdown. Been using MFP for a few weeks now and have lost two lbs. Started 30 day shred and I'm on day 3 (it's supposed to get easier now, right?). FRIEND ME!
