I find the Clarks brand super comfortable. I buy them at shoe carnival and they're around $50-60

Thank for your kind words, everyone! Wednesday check-in: Work out! 3/7 Breathe! 3/7 Keep up the good work, ladies <3

Hi, warrior sisters! Last week was ok, but I just didn't have the energy to check in! The new job is going well. I've been training and meeting people from every department, so it's really busy. I'm proud of myself for preparing my lunch every morning and keeping my walks on schedule. This week's goals: Monday check-in:…

Thank you, hearts! I start my new job today, so I'm gonna keep it very simple: Sunday check-in: 1- Work out 5 times - 1/5 2- Log at least one meal - 0/7 3- Remember to breathe - 1/7 Let's have a healthy week! <3

I'm freaking out too!!!! How will we ever figure out the calories for ebola-tainted chocolate? :s

Welcome, Kat and Susan! :heart:

So, did you watch it? I was so disappointed to see the big boys lifting and women jumping like idiots in the background...where are the lifting ladies?!

Amazing transformation. Wonderful work!

mission accomplished! :smile: Wonderful job!

Good job, lady! :flowerforyou:

I'm sorry you're dealing with that. It sounds like that's a question for a professional who is knowledgeable on the topic.

I don't think it's a dumb question. I despise working out on machines, they bore me to death. I rather walk outside; do you think you'd be more motivated if you ran outside?

I also buy the "Just my size" at Walmart and they fit perfectly (and they have a no-elastic waist option). It's good to know they also sell them at Sears and Kohls, because my local Walmart apparently doesn't carry them anymore. Thanks for sharing!

I'm going through a crazy phase as well, and honestly, *sometimes* it helps me to think that all that crap is really temporary, but taking care of my body is something that will last. It doesn't work every time, but yeah, looking at all this overwhelming stuff from a distance -by putting it into context- can help. Good…

Thank you for your replies and suggestions! I think I might have been squatting too low, so I'll try it differently next time. Btw, I use dumbbells because that's all I have at home and I'm tired of waiting for the right time/equipment/blah blah blah :smile:

I'm also thinking along these lines because what you describe is the way I feel when my thyroid medication is off. I have also noticed that now that I"m not taking antihistamines anymore, I have a lot more energy. These are couple of things to consider if you haven't. Good luck!

Thanks for your replies! I was trying the conventional deadlift with dumbbells. No video of it. I'm trying it again on Wednesday, so I'll focus on whether I'm leaning forward too much or squatting too low because: 1- my arms are short and 2- the dumbbells too bulky to pull them close to my legs. Thanks again!

Hi! I haven't had that happen (unless it's near that time of the month! :wink: ), but I have seen other threads here that talk about that. Just do a search and you'll find them. Keep up the good work!

Everyone has already said what I was going to say, so I'll just add my YOU CAN DO IT! You've already started, just keep going :smile:

I did this one this morning from fitnessblender. It's free! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-kLtTJ5ri8 Hope it helps.

Yep, I particularly love to mix it with feta cheese or with sunflower seeds and balsamic vinegar in salads. I've seen it cooked (on pizza), but have never tried cooking it.

Welcome, persistent! :flowerforyou:

Welcome, Rebecca! :smile:

this website doesn't have nutritional info on the recipes, but they are pretty easy (and cheap!): www.budgetbytes.com Good luck!

You say you "feel" like you're gaining weight, what does that mean? Have you weighed yourself? I'd suggest that you go back to basics: log everything you eat (and weigh things), make the best choices you can and continue working out (which is good for your heart, it's not a waste of time!). You can do this! We all go…
