You're funny :)

I like you.

Hah I seriously hope that's a joke :) Nothings free someone pays, if we didn't gain weight in the first place we wouldn't have extra skin to get rid of. Yayy personal responsibility. I'm gonna guess you're joking haha.

I've done body pump it was very similar to group power at my current gym both are great. I've done step hybrid classes to break up the monotony which is also helpful. I can't get into spin but it once in a while. I love my zumba, zumba toning. If your gym has that much variety look into zumba sentao (uses a chair for body…

Yup. There are some pretty nice people who pray also in the Christian group here as well.

Totally different work out. I'd personally be doing JM at home while going to a zumba class, as they really get you into it and up your burn because you're having so much fun.

I like Thorlo for a few reasons also. They are thin where you want thin and thick where you want cushion, but I'd also look into maybe it's your shoes not breathing. I also like them as they are mostly if not all made in the usa, I try to support local if I can. If it's really hot coals.....maybe you have a fungus?

Actually weight training brought my hormones into crazy mode and I had to go on acne meds again for like the first time in a decade.

You are not a failure!! Geaush how many of us didn't even get off the couch for years (hence being here). You trained hard, crap happens. Get yourself fixed up! You can do it! My hubby had both his legs cut open about 5 months before our first half marathon. It was rough going but you can get through this and be you again…

Okay so I yes after heavy lifting started to have a few interesting side effects. yes the spotting. Yes the little fungus uprising on the skin (had to get medicine) and lastly, I turned into a teenager with acne. Apparently this is all related to hormonal adjustments. Bleh.

Some days I have 300 calories of vegetables. So yeah....

I vote this one.

Pretty much everything I love now most others go "ew" Quinoa Pasta (my Italian grandma can't wrap her head around this one) Quorn (fake meat) Icelandic Yogurt Greek Yogurt (many freak out over this still) Brown Rice Bread Gluten free bread of any kind Vegetables WITHOUT gobs of cheese or butter Sprouts Fat free cheddar (I…

I don't need a video to not want to eat at McDonalds....all I need to do is walk in there and look at the condition of 90% of the people working and eating there (with the exception of teenagers escaping the house after school of course)

No advice to offer, however, I am starting to get concerned about this as well.

OMG just read the article. What an idiotic notion. Even in my power class and my core CLASS I let out a noise occasionally. I don't mean to but sometimes that's what happens if you push yourself. I would imagine those of you in the weight section lifting have that issue compounded.

Woah :) Don't knock the lululemon it's just so comfortableeeee and soft and light weight. Blah I really don't care if someone makes noises lifting, I usually can't hear unless you drop reallllllll hard anyways. My head phones are on. The only time I glare is when teenagers are standing around blabbing and not using the…

HAHAHA You amuse me, so much :) I do lift heavy but I can't give up my Zumba. Even got certified this past weekend. I wont give up my Zumba, but will use my weight abilities to teach Toning and Sentao maybe in a year or two :) Edited: Success story as requested. Almost 72 lbs lost, I do a lot of cross training but I'd say…

My husband took this a while. Our biggest issues were that he was nauseous and had no appetite. He'd go low, but really really not want to eat...to the point of me practically force feeding him.

How long did it take you to lose the 55 lbs? I am not type 1, my husband is. We have both been on MFP a while (me 2 years him a little over 1 year) We track everything, he exercises 4-5 days a week. He's lost like....12 lbs, and nothing in the past 3 months. We did go through and still go through adjusting the insulin to…

I know someone already said bolthouse and those are good Braswell's are also good and come in a reusable carafe. They have some unique yummy ones like tomato Vidalia onion and this peach one.

Me too :)

Vegetarian: Protein goal 25-30% although it's hard and I am closer to 22% most days. Yes I use a shake I make. Nuts, egg whites, greek yogurts (lower sugar or Icelandic), steel cut oats, quorn, field roast fake meat, sometimes Morningstar rarely though. Paleo and carb 0 bread....there are tons of options.PS in g that's…

I don't DO this business model. Or participate in companies that do it. I have tasted it and it was OKAY but I'd rather have food. I think I feel more satisfied with food. IF I was a very very busy person I may consider something like it (without their sales model) for lunches I didn't have time for....not the breakfast…

Blood pressure OR diabetes OR a heart condition (all can be aggravated by sodium). Personally IF I feel bloated I feel icki and get cranky and it's harder for me to put on my gym stuff and feel confident and go work out. That's a mental game though. The great sodium debate is a constant one at my house and I'm on burn out…

Hmm what I don't get is why *most* people would rather look how they look than muscular...(which they wont look that way anyways usually). I told my husband the other day I do not CARE if I start looking more muscular (my definition has started to show a 'lil' over the past few months) b/c it sure beats the flab, cellulite…

I'm sorry you got fired? Is it that you left your food log open or you were posting on message boards 7 hours a week (a days work or so?)

Exactly!!! So this is why I am more motivated to work out and use the method where I eat less on rest days. If I go over 100 or so on those days I don't worry about it so much though ... anymore.

Blah if she's eating a NET of 1530 her GROSS with exercise calories likely IS 1806-1919. Just hang in there hun, I've platued for long periods but usually when the weight moves after a long period of not moving, it really moves fast :) Edited: Protein, make sure you're getting enough. If you can't up your weights over the…

I concur I have had to weight train. Focus on protein and upy cals to gain any definition and muscle
