Ive done two TM's (Patterson and Tahoe). Im overweight, I run and lift but didnt train specifically for these. I skipped 'walk the plank' cus I cannot swim and i will not risk drowning. I did the monkey bars but fell in half way not knowing how deep it was (it was deep, i freaked!) so I skipped that the second time around.…

I started weight training about over a year ago and about 6 month ago i started going into the free weights section. Feels good to be one of the regulars and the only girl in that section. Only thing is im afraid to increase my weight too much cus i workout alone. Not too many poeple there in the AM to ask a spot from. But…

After being at this journey for so long and failing and learning from my mistakes my fave words to tell myself when i wanna give up is " i can fail only so many times before i start getting this righ!" it my profile quote and words that always get me going! great post BTW!!!

Gracias! personal experience, unfortunately!

I have one child which i nursed but im sure that weightloss has affected them most! Went from a full C to a barely B. But some serious strengh training has helped. Ive been lifting heavy weights for the last 6 months and i have noticed changes from that time.Anyone else?

Big time girl crush on TanyaMarie23 . shes worked so hard and very inspirational!!!

Thanks for your concern. Of course I am always concerned with anything she says. She has great self esteem and I don't believe there are any body image issues. I think she's just feeling this way because she hasn't been doing any physical activity since school has been out and she just got back from summer at grandmas :)…

Thanks for all your input! I have signed us up both for the Color Run and she has started the C25K training program. She's never been into any type of exercise other than Me dragging her on 7 mile hikes. She's scared to death of riding a bike so jogging is a great start! I will have her wait in the gym but she is returning…

I am 5'8' and my initial goal weight was 170, after loosing almost 30 lbs and was at 175 i realized my body shape had changed cus of all the weight i had gained. i was always around 175 in HS but after giving birth and the excess weight my body isnt looking like it did back then.

I have been trying to run for the last few months. i have never been athletic and have never ran! I hated PE in school! I want that to change, and today i finally realized that i had been trying to jog too fast. I started at 5.5 and then went up to 6.0 but couldnt do more then 5 minutes without being completely drained.…

My Daughter :) crying to a good sad movie sleeping vampire shows/movies ----dumb i know i cant help this obsession talking to my mommy Coffee smell of rain singing in the car' watching my daughter crack up laughing to the most random things oh and best of all sleeping!

I work at a Derm Office and ive gotten it done(for free :)) i think its totally worth it. 6k sounds like a lot though. Just do one area at a time and spread the cost. Have u compared prices with other places? oh and never go to a "Day Spa" for laser anything :)

Great Job!
