Thanks. I mainly see a trainer to get a workout plan, and see if I'm on the right track. For example, if I'm doing the right weight training exercises and cardio for my body type and to effectively use the most weight. Also, what if there is a day where I overeat and go over my calories (and eat bad foods). That doesn't…

Then it must be bone mass then. In my genes, heavy bones runs in my family. Even as a baby my mom said I was super heavy, not being fat or anything. I am overweight at 180, but because of my body type of muscular/heavy bones I don't look it at all, also the weight distribution (which is mainly in my boobs. not a good…

Thank you. Yes, I will have to go this week and check it out, to see if it fits what I am looking for. Maybe I can do that with the lower monthly payment AND the gym? There is a cheaper membership, that one is for like 3 days a week. Anyway, thanks.

Another MFP member recommended this site. (she looked rather fit too.) I don't want to spend hundreds of dollars on a trainer or crossfit gym, so I need a strict routine I can follow which varies it up. What advice does anyone have??? I am desparate. IF I don't get started soon I'm going to be on the same lame path I am on…

Well now I am frustrated. What should I do then? If I dn't get a routine soon I will keep procrastinating and I'm on this site to find supportive people.

Yeah, I realize I am making excuses. I found www.freetrainers.com which has some awesome workouts tailored just for me, and I think this will get me motivated to go to the gym. I am really good with routine.

Thanks everyone! Yeah, because of the price I am starting to have second thoughts. Plus, I did read from some women who say it can make you look more muscular, which is NOT what I need. I want to have lean muscles. I understand that diet is very important too.

I don't have anyone to go to they gym with, and it's hard for me to stay motivated. But thanks for the advice! Hope to hear more.

Exactly! But I was listening to a story on youtube on my way to the gym so it wouldn't feel a long commute, and I got so into it that I sat in the parking lot listening to it and didn't go into the gym. lol.

Thanks so much!!! I went on there and it brought back my memory. (i have been weightifting since 1999, it's just I am so inconsistent.) Even just getting me on the path to familiarty is good. I decided to follow the site you provided, and going to start iwth 2 days a week, 2 sets of 10 reps each with light weight. Back,…

agree with the cupping the face thing, wish guys would do that more often!!!

yeah. i was happy today,, because i went and hit the gym for two hours. What I did is I bought myself a couple new workout tees, which motivated me to go!!! I feel much better that I did, opposed to yesterday when I felt rather low bec i skipped on my workout again. i gotta move one baby step at a time.

Thank you for the sweet comment. And it is hard when we are heavy, we do feel gross sometimes. But what you said makes us all feel good!

I am 5'3'' and about 175lbs, so I know how you feel! I just came across this post after the one talking about how even 130lbs is too big for 5'2'' and it gotta me feeling a little depressed. Thing is, we all have different body types, heredity also takes a play. I know nobody ever thinks I'm that heavy, because most my…

Or bone or muscle weight, or heredity.

Does that mean if it says I burnt 500 calories, i only burned about 250? I am very confused.

That is something I struggled with in the past too. Because we don't always burn the calorie amount it says here on MFP. What I was told is to eat back some of the calories you burn, but not all. Like half of them, and still have a positive amount of calories left. Thing is, if you don't eat back those calories you can…

YOU LOOK GOOD! you don't need to lose any more.

WOW! howd you do it?? amazing. Tell us tips.

GOOD IDEAS!!!!

LOVE THIS!!! thanks.

elementary education, which opens doors for interviews with preschools/daycares all the time. however, hate to sound negative, but i want to see if others went through the same thing? I went to the wrong university. BYU in Provo, UT, although a really good school, they were very discriminatory, and didn't like anyone who…

Thank you for your comment, you are totally right. But for the record, I am educated, smart, and every one says I have confidence. But guys don't seem to care, mostly they want sex and get hung up about my boobs.

It kind of reminds me of 50 cent who said before he became famous not as many women paid attention to him, and after he was famous it's like he had a face lift or something. LOL. and he is also fit probably most his life. It's nice to hear this from a guy's perspective!!!! and congrats on your fiance! I'm hoping one day I…

i think there are more men that we think who are shy (I notice, no offense, that most African-American men are the hounds and the ones who aren't afraid to talk to women, their culture). And I have dated a lot of men in that race. But white men RARELY ever talk to me, although I want them to. My brother is 30,…

Good for you. I always had bigger boobs, even at my smallest weight of 135. Sometimes I think it's a curse. Especially being part-Asian and all!!! LOL. i think this is why guys like me sometimes. It's like: what abut my degree! my talents and accomplishments!!!!

Thank you for this comment, it's very refreshing to hear someone say this.

Thanks for all your comments, I really appreciate it. Yes,it is hard for me to ward off attention before, whether my weight or thinner. To be honest, I think the guys who hit on more now are the ones who like a girl with more weight on them, "thick" "curvy" whatever you want to call it, and no offese,they tend to be lamo…

i think posting this thread was a mistake. I'm sorry to anyone I offended. Does anyone know how to delete our threads? Im sorry I don't know.
