Feel free to add me! I'm always on, and I try to support everyone!

Keep it up--for some of us, the scale really isn't the pivotal point: it's the jeans! LOL! You're right that all around healthful living should be our goal, so kudos to you for keeping that in focus, and for taking it at a pace you know you can stick to. Eventually, you can push yourself, be it sooner or later, but when…

Count me in--I've been doing better and better with water intake, and this should help keep me cognizant of the task!

Marvelous! Do it!

I'm with you, Fran--you can do it! At 19, you'll get fit in no time if you stick to a plan, any plan, with consistency, and resolve. Will is right: Falling off happens to us all (well, me at least), but you have to swallow that pride/sadness thing that happens when you fall short, and just get up, dust yourself off, and…

You can do it, and you're GONNA do it! One day in the not so distant future you'll be saying you DID do it! Win it!

The last thing I recall binge eating... Hmmm... I think it was 1/2 an angel loaf cake from the supermarket. Yes, yes it was. That was delicious! Worth it? Not in the slightest. Chocolate is my Achilles heel. Chocolate & cookies. Some people like hard candies, soft chewy candies, but not me I want to chow down on fresh…

Hi, JusGem & everyone else! You're absolutely on the ball with putting PAM at the top of your list--I battle with keeping that up daily & hourly (as do many of you I'm sure). Feel free to add me! Seems challenging when you're mid-30s and 20-30 lbs above ideal weight for a 5' frame--particularly for office working women.…

Check SuperCork's profile on here and you'll see some amazing results sans P90X--just diet, walking, and lifting. +200lbs to an athletic build

I don't know what CE is but NROLFW is hot *kitten*. Heavy lifting, it's where it's at.
-
Forlini is right--the fitness test can be found online at Beachbody.com See if you can do that, and assess whether you're up for the full schedule of workouts. It's awesome, I must say.
-
Also, I got TurboFire and the pace was INSANE. I don't know if you are exceptionally fast and coordinated, but I'm elf-like in my proportions, and even *I* had a hard time keeping up with Chalean. I'd prefer running than TurboFire, but that's just me.

I'd just go to your local Marshall's or TJMaxx or Walmart and get a $5 to $10 DVD that mixes cardio with bodyweight exercises (options with resistance bands are a plus). Jillian Michaels, Jackie Warner are two of my 2nd rate fav's if you can't afford the Beachbody stuff. At 230lbs you really just need to cut away some…

I disagree with the difficulty claims of P90X. I went from sitting on my @$$ for about 900 days straight to doing my best at P90X and actually SEEING results after just 30 days. But the difference between P90X and Insanity seems accurate, though I haven't tried Insanity. If it is in fact cardio & Plyo, then it's gonna burn…

REVOLTING!

I don't like lint balls

My aunt is 76, and last year she got tribal face tats, a full chest/collar, and both her shoulders. Just got the beginning to a sleeve on her forearm this year. Never really too old.

Oh, man, let me introduce you to one of my recent faves: FAST Paleo. Tons of delicious recipes! If you live anywhere near one of those Bargain Discount stores, you could try picking up one of their cheap-O vegan or vegetarian recipe books. I mean, you can find some REALLY beautiful photography in these little gems. And…

If you're deadlifting, take it kinda slow at first and build up that ligamental strength. After a couple of weeks, if you're ready to bulk up on the weight and strong enough in the wrists, I suggest using an alternate grip. I continually used pronated grip the entire first couple of months of lifting and boy, when I…

Send an invite my way! I'm 5'0" and looking to lose 15-20 lbs. (currently hovering around 130) I'm kicking butt with Beachbody Fitness programs, lifting heavy when I can, and eating as clean as I can (little temptations aside). Trying to be as Primal (Primal Blueprint, by Mark of MarksDailyApple.com) as possible, but I…

Alternate grip changed my deadlifting life. I was always going pronated, and while I found that while it built up forearm muscle, I couldn't keep up with heavy weights. I swapped one hand and I went from 105 to 135 easy. (Mind you, I'm a 130lb girl who was just starting out in deadlifting, so for me, that's good).
-
I just started COMBAT about 4 days ago! I'm so psyched! Granted, neither of them can form a coherent sentence when they're really getting it in (Her: "Weakness is pain leaving the body"; Him: "Yeah, baby! I like SPICY Jack Daniels sauce on my... SPICINESS!"), but I love kicking things, and THIS workout ENGAGES me, and I…

You guys are AWESOME! I LONG for the day I am capable of Oly lifting. Alas... a far off dream for now...

That's my girl! That's my girl! ::stands over a pile of discarded body fat and looks it in the... uhhh... looks it in the... the fat cyst! and says, "You just got knocked the f**k out, lipids!"

Nice links--you make it easy on a newb!
-
All of the above comments plus this: Finger food helps the initial phase--at least it did for me. I suggest taking an hour, collect the top 10 finger foods you would like to try this next week, go buy the stuff, and again: GET RID OF TEMPTATION. Don't have it in your house. Give it away to a non-primal/paleo friend or a…

I'd say spend the money and get a personal trainer for a month. Personally, when I really dedicated myself to strength training, I found that what little breast tissue I have started to disappear when I began seriously bench pressing. Maybe it wasn't the bench press that truly ate them away--could have been all the push…

Generally I don't care who I work with so long as they're competent enough not to cause me trouble. I like laughing and fireside horror stories, and thus far, it has been provided by males, but I don't preclude the possibility that I may one day work with an awesome bunch of b!tches--thus far though: hasn't happened. I'd…

It's been a week since you posted that, but I hope you're still going strong! I have never (in my adult life) relaxed my hair, but I'm biracial and have a more relaxed curl anyway. Nevertheless, I still struggle with breakage, split ends, dryness, and all of the lost time that goes with caring for our delicate but…

I'm newish to the Primal lifestyle--feel free to add me! I was up to 135 days on MFP, but then I went to Antigua and I look like a newb again!
