Sick
Sadly, I have not been able to get any workouts in this week so far due to my being very sick with sore throats, headaches, congestion, coughing and all that fun stuff. I'm hoping to get a few workouts in this weekend. It's been a very miserable week so far :( I hope everyone else is having a great week!!

Lacking Motivation, need help!
So for the last two weeks, I have been lacking motivation to get my workouts done. I've been too physically and mentally exhausted to do much of anything and it's bothering me. I have still been doing some exercise but not nearly as much and when I do, I feel I don't get anything accomplished. I'm struggling and it's…

Rough Week
Well, I got at least one workout in this week. Had to take my mom to the hospital, she has severe Pneumonia so I've been there the pass few days. Hopefully I'll be able to get back on track next week!

This was a good surprise!
We had a health screening where I work and I just got my results back and they were actually really good! My only issue is my weight and my HDL was a little high but other than that, I'm in good health. Kind of shocking actually, for some reason I thought I would have some bad news but this is good news and quite…

This is my year to kick some butt!
I have my mind set to lose 40-50 pounds this year and I'm planning on doing everything I can to accomplish this. This site is a great way to stay motivated with people who are in the same boat so thank you for the motivation. I will continue to try to get to the gym as much as I possibly can but on top of that, I purchased…

Still Fighting!
Well, I'm still battling this plateau that I've been in for the last month or so. I did lost 1.8 pounds two weeks ago, but nothing since then. I'm not letting it get me down though! I've recently changed my workout routine from late afternoons to early mornings before work. It's been a tough transition but it's getting…

New Routine
So I have decided to start working out in the mornings before I go to work. This is going to be a tough change but it will be oh so much better in the long run. So many times I get home from work and I'm not able to do my exercising and it can get frustrating. This morning I start this routine. I have to work at 7 am so I…

Struggling
The last few weeks have been pretty rough for me. I haven't been able to make it to the gym as much as I normally do. I haven't really been eating terrible but not nearly as good as I should be. I got two wisdom teeth pulled and ended up getting a dry socket in one of them so that was really painful for nearly a week so…

Is this common?
So my main use of exercise equipment is the Elliptical but I have decided that I need to work in some other stuff too. Usually I will do the Elliptical for 33 minutes and burn roughly 400 calories. Yesterday, I did 15 minutes on the Elliptical for about 155 then I did the treadmill for 18 minutes for about 126 calories…

Darn It
After work I was on my way to the gym when I get a call from my brother asking me if I could meet him at the hospital to take my dad home. my dad is battling lung cancer and diabetes. My brother works nights so he had to get home to go to sleep, so I had to relieve him. I was sitting there for a good hour and a half so I…

Tips for losing chest fat
One of my main areas of focus is my chest and I don't really know what the best exercise for the chest is. I know cardio is always good and so is bench press/chest press, which I already do some of. I guess what I'm asking is: what's the best and quickest way to lose chest fat and firm that area up? I will gladly accept…

How often do you workout?
Just curious.. How often do you work out a week? How many days? How long? etc. etc. :) I've been trying to get to the gym 3-4 days a week and I try to play tennis 1-2 days a week. It can get pretty tough sometimes to get there as much as I want to but I'm doing pretty good.

Today at the gym..
I walk in and the dude at the counter, one of which I see about 2x a week, says "Looks like someone has lost more weight!". He then goes into detail saying: "Hey man, don't wanna to be a jerk or anything..but a few months ago your stomach was out to here, then it went down to here and now it's here..you're doing a great…

Nothing this week
I didn't lose anything this week but that's okay! I've been doing my usual so I know I'm not slacking. I realize every now and then I won't lose anything. :) I'm still happy because I started at 285 and now I'm 269, so I'm going to keep on trucking and before you know it, I'll be down to 220-230, fingers crossed. Sadly I…

I slipped up and now I feel bad
So I get off and work and go to the gym, I burn 430 calories doing 33 minutes on the Elliptical trainer and feel good. I pick my daughter up and head home. When I get home, I notice that there were Little Debbie Strawberry Shortcake rolls sitting on the counter, more than likely for my kids. I was awfully tempted to have…

Which is the better workout?
I've always wondered which is the better workout: Elliptical or Treadmill? I'm not a huge fan of the Treadmill, it's too boring for me and I'm not a huge fan of running. I always prefer the Elliptical and it seems I usually burn more calories on it than I do on the Treadmill. I'm sure it depends on the person. Curious what…

Under my goal on everything but Sugar.
It seems that everyday I'm doing really well staying under my calorie, fat, carbs etc. goals but I keep going over on sugar. This seems very difficult to me to get under the sugar goal. How much will this affect my overall goal of losing weight? Are there any tips or suggestions to avoid going over on sugar? This is the…

How often do you weigh in?
I was always told to weigh in no more than once a week and to weigh in on the same day and about the same time each week. I usually weigh in first thing Saturday when I wake up. Seems to be working for me so far. Should I do it every few weeks or should I keep doing it weekly? What does everyone else do?

Didn't lose any pounds this week, stayed the same!
In the last month, I have lost a total of 13 pounds, but I weighed in this week and I stayed the same. First time I haven't lost any weight. I can kind of prepared for this actually. I figured we will probably have weeks like that. Last week I lost 5 pounds so I was ready to see that I didn't lose any this week. I was…

General Tennis playing
I just got done playing 2 full sets of Tennis, so 12 full games with a buddy of mine, for about an hour and 15 minutes. We also play 3 full sets of 18 games on Saturday mornings. I never realized how many calories you can burn playing Tennis. I am fairly new to Tennis but am somewhat familiar with it because I used to play…
