That is what I thought she should get checked out!

I add weights twice a week and Yoga two to three times a week. I want to keep the definition in my arms from weights, and Yoga is great for peace of mind, I have to admit it is difficult to put two workouts in a day, when working full time.

I am going on week three. I thought I was going to follow the eating plan, but I am not doing a very good job of it. I do eat healthy most of the time. However, I do like my wine on Saturday evening! The second week I found the hardest, as I am in the school system and the first week back to school with kids, was very…

I have been on synthroid for about 2 years and I take it as soon as I get up. I try to wait an hour before I have a cup of coffee. I have never heard of the 4 hour wait period. I don't think I could wait that long, without my cup of java!!!

I am on day 6 and it is a great work out. I have had personal trainers in the past and these DVD'S work me harder. The only problem I find is that there is not enough upper body work outs. So every second day I will add weights for an extra 30 minutes, after my work out. I also love Yoga, for flexibility and peace of mind.…

I am 52 years old and I understand that getting to the gym, after working all day is hard. I ran for about 15 years, and then started weight training. In last 5 years I started adding Yoga to my training. Running was wonderful, but my back started to really hurt. I now do spinning classes for my Cardio. Yoga has helped me…

I have a hypothyroid and have been on synthroid for a couple of years. Doctors would not put you on medication if your levels were within the normal range. I think it was somewhere between 4 and 5. The range of normal has now changed. That being said, normal for you could be lower. Some doctors still go by the old range.…

I am 52 and 5 foot 4. I feel best between 110 and 115 pounds. I have a small frame and I try to eat 1200 calories a day. On most days I exercise and burn about 400. I eat back all my calories. My progress is very slow and keeping this weight is difficult. I love food and entertaining. I have been on MFP for about a year…

I have IBS and what works for me is a tablespoon of ground flax seed mixed with warm water. I take this in the evening and my bowels work well in the morning. Hope this helps.

I also have such a difficult time with sugar. Not during the day, but certainly in the evening. I think it is a difficult addiction to beat.

The same thing happened to me!! Make sure you have no medical condition that may be delaying the weight lost.

Just Do It is also one of my favorite quotes. When it is 6 in the morning or 6 in the evening and I don't feel like doing it (exercise) I say to myself Just Do It! It will be done with in a hour. This works for me!

I have IBS and it sure can be uncomfortable. I find that if I take just a couple of teaspoons of flaxseed with warm water at night. My bowels empty more easier in the morning. If I am stressed or away from home, I really seem to have more of a problem. Anyway if you can, give the flaxseed a shot and see how it works for…

I work in the school system and I also fine September a time to start focusing on my goals. With not a lot of routine and more down time in the summer, things begin to grow (belly, arm, etc.) I have always been quite focused at maintaining my goals. I try very hard to keep a weekly routine. Strength training twice a week,…

That sounds like me. I am 5'4 and when I was younger I stayed around 110 and 115. I would only work out for about 30 min. a day with the children. Now that I am fifty. I have the time to at least work out six days a week.. I am also still about a size two to four and weigh between 117 to 120. I an not perfect as the skin…

Now this is a nice post! Thank you for sharing.

I am also the same height as you and weigh around 120. My goal weight is 115 to 110. I can maintain on 1700, but in order to loose I have to stay with 1200. I also work out 5 times a week and usually eat only half the calories I burn back. It is difficult to get those last few pounds off! Good Luck.

I agree that you should see a personal trainer to help you with your form. I used one for that reason.. Some people need the motivation of a trainer. If they are paying for it, they will show up. Group session are cheaper and sometimes they can be more fun. As misery sometimes enjoys company!

I am better off not to even start with sugar. As soon as I start eating sugar, its almost like my body craves more.

I have been runnning for years and then in the last two years, my back and knees were really starting to hurt. I also did not want to quit running. However, I had to make a choice. I decided to give my knees a break and joined some great spinning classes. I also decided to start doing Yoga and weights. I still miss my…

Hello fitness pals! My name is Cathy and I joined Fitness Pal a week ago. I like the way this program tracks food and exercise. Summer and Calgary Stampede will be difficult. So maintaining this summer is a good goal for me. Fitness needs to be part of your lifestyle. If you don't use your muscles, you loose your muscles.…
