Personally I just stay to myself and concentrate on my own workouts...everyone's fighting their own battles.

If I ever need direction on how to perfect form or just general knowledge; I seem to be able to find it on bodybuilding.com or youtube. I wouldn't let other people bother you tho! Just put in your headphones and go to work!!! You'll remember a lot of your old tricks...as you get started.

You have to fall in love with the process... And ultimately...you have to want it for yourself. Find workouts that you love to do. I recently have taken up biking and rowing. Building a strong core with all this rowing. And on the weekends I walk the city bridges in my area and hike mountains. Unless you are really just…

I am really glad I read that. I have been trying to get my sleep schedule back in check. Always good to read knowledgeable postings.

Destiny's Child channel... on Pandora... love love love!! Keeps me pumped up!

I would really welcome some friends like this!! I have a bad habit of not logging my dinner or closing out my day. I am dedicated to working out and go almost everyday...but having some real fitness accountability friends would be great!

My friend just took this "21 day challenge"... isn't it Advocare? .... hmmm... she initially lost weight; but she put it back on. 1-2lbs a week is really pushing it...eating clean and working out everyday. Too many people want to sprint to the finish line when in reality it's a marathon...and a lifestyle change. Good luck…

Hmmm... I think cake should be higher up...and probably sodas too. I'm currently addicted to S'mores Oreo's...they are amazing :)

Ammmmmazing!! Just speechless!

I've been to the gym every year for my last 3 birthdays; which is about the time I got serious about going to the gym!!! I personally love my gym time...it's my "me" time...why give that up on your birthday! :)

Awesome work!!! :) You've got this!!

I keep individual snacks in my desk at work...100 calorie type snacks and I make sure I always have a protein shake around 3pm...it will help carry me to dinner!! :smiley: I've fallen off track so many times...but I always restart! (I feel it's probably just normal in life) So I make a list of 2 things I want to change…

I am so glad there are other people out there that feel like I do. I've always wanted to be a runner. I've started the C25k program and it has helped, A LOT! I am giving myself a full year to train for a half marathon. That's my biggest goal right now...run that half marathon! If you really want something...don't let…

This is amazing!!! What a great job! I know you're proud of him!!

Fabulous!!! Keep up the great work!! :)

I would like to be in on this challenge!! I'm looking for people that log daily...it's always motivating to have people that will help you stay focused and accountable. Anyone is free to add me as a friend. I gained 19lbs over the last year and I would like to ultimately lose 30lbs this year. :smile: Which I know is…

I'm almost 5'3"... and last year at this time I was 155lbs and I was pretty much all muscle. I probably could of cut and lost another 15lbs of fat...but I looked good and healthy. I think you just need to feel good about whatever goal you have. I don't honestly expect to ever get down to 125lbs... I'm getting closer to 40…

That's completely possible! You just have to cut back and stay completely focused. Eat completely clean and exercise!!

This woman has got the right idea...cash is usually the best way to go!

I have to agree with both of these people.... I would focus on bodyfat. Hit those weights!!! I'm excited for you!!!

My goals for December include... Daily gym vists!! Staying within my calories!! If I could drop 5lbs by the end of the month... awesome!! If I just stay consistent...I will take any results my body produces! :smile:

Add me to the 5am crowd!! I did notice an increase over this past year of people coming from 5-6am...but it was mid year... New years never seems to really be a problem for the 5am crowd...and that's cool with me... Although, I personally love to see new people at my gym...I wish more people would start and keep their…

Incredible!!! Stick with it!! You're doing an amazing job! What most people don't realize is that slow and steady is so much better for your body than rushing!!! Always love to see people stick with it!! It's really a life change... Best of luck on your future weight loss!!! SIMPLY AMAZING!!!

I know exactly how you feel; I almost started crying at the gym this morning...to be so close to your goal and have it all fall apart. Ugh! Just makes you want to work harder...Just keep on track and you'll be back in no time. It is crushing; but setbacks do happen to everyone!!! :smile:

I absolutely love working out!!! I wake up during the week at 4:30am...just to make sure that I can get in a full hour and half at the gym! It's my "me" time... I don't have to do anything for anyone, I don't have to answer to anyone...it's all about me!! And I love lifting...the feeling that I am getting stronger...it's a…

7lbs is a great loss!!! Never get discouraged... too many people are in race against time; unwilling to consider the amount of time that it took you to become an unhealthy weight...Stick with it! Life happens; as long as you stay committed the results will come!! CONGRATS ON YOUR 7lb LOSS!!! There's a lot of people on this…

I admirer your honesty! I am completely fed up with my lack of staying on track and after my last day and half of being "run over" by my own wagon... I am looking for some accountability buddies to carry me through the end of the year and stay motivated to log everything everyday....regardless of what I do ....just to see…

I would save yourself the hassle of trying to guess...and get yourself a HRM and wear it religiously! That will give you the most accurate calorie burn for your cardio and weight training. Also you can use www.bodybuilding.com to look up the machines and know the names to look for if you want to accurately log all of your…

I'm going to join in on this!! I need the accountability! Anyone in need of friends that log and workout...feel free to add me! :smile:
