I'm in!

Fitbit is releasing new trackers. I am holding out for the one with a heart rate coming in 2015

Fantastic! Great job!

Welcome! Add me if you like :)

I had to start out just walking and lifting light weights so I wouldn't get too dizzy. Then I was able to do more and more. Now I can do spin bike for an hour and lift decent weights :) Don't get discouraged, just pace yourself and it will happen!

homemade chicken broth and boiled mashed potatoes. It is really soothing and healing. Lots of broth.

I have both. The bowflex is only used for two exercises. Sports Authority has a great squat rack on sale half price at $350 right now. I love it. Just add a bench and weights. You can do about anything with it. It has pulleys for lat pull-downs and also rows. Pull ups and dips as well. The best

I like a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg

I miss the tickers

Nice job on the fitness and weight loss! I loved your post!! Congrats :)

My favorite way to prepare salmon is to place thin slices of lemon alternated with pickled jalepenos on the top. I drizzle some of the pepper juice all over it. Shake a little salt and pepper on it. It is very tasty :)

I am interested.

I love this! I am laughing by butt off and my S.O. is giving me looks like I have lost my mind.

bump for fun!

bump, cuz I have a low heart rate and I know I am not in super aerobic shape. It is 48 just sitting around relaxing. So this may be interesting.

I have a fitbit Force and I love it! It helps to get an idea of how many calories and steps you do in a day so you can eat accordingly.

I start yawning when my body thinks it needs some extra oxygen coming in :) I agree with the person that said just start with legs and then add arms etc as you build up. It keeps your heart rate in a reasonable range when you start out. Don't be discouraged, just keep moving :)

I am in for the info. Good question.

bump for later

That is wonderful!!

more of a finesse thing than a power thing?

Tons of interesting info. I do appreciate the responses. Now I have a better idea of what to expect as far as goal weights in different areas. I realize each individual needs to work with their body and progress at their own rate. I will be adding more compound movements for a base as well. I do like the curls and flyes…

You all are awesome. I do have the recommended books now. I am going forth and being fabulous in a non-glittery kinda way. Lol.

I will check out more compound moves. I am trying to make realistic goals and am getting a frame of reference. It is great info to put things in perspective.

any type will give me info. Thanks :) This is exactly the kind of answer I was hoping for.
