Lady lifters, I have a question for ya....
I just bought The New Rules of Lifting for Women and I was reading that you won't lose much weight but your body will be fit and look fantastic...so my question is....do I want to start lifting now even though I have about 30-40 lbs to lose or should I up my cardio, lose a huge chunk of this fat and then start lifting? I'm…

joined the gym....now what?
I joined my local gym finally and once there I hopped on the eliptical, went to town for about 30 mintues then sort of stared blankly at all the machines and ended up on the stationary bike. My goal is to eventually start lifting heavy but until I can either get a trainer or find that new rules of lifting for women book…

any current south beach followers out there?
A few years ago I lost 30 lbs doing south beach and I kept it off for a few years until I got pregnant with my second son. I indulged and of course gained it all back. I have been counting calories but I'm starting to think that by counting calories I'm allowing myself too much crappy foods. I rationalize that if I'm under…

happier chubby?
Do any of you feel like you were happier in general before you started this journey? Now those that drop weight easily and quickly probably won't understand but for those of you that hit a plateau or struggle to lose it might get me. I am 180lbs and size 14. That is definitely overweight I won't deny. Am I happy at that…

anyone live near Graham, Washington?
I'm looking for some friends that live around me that may want to get together for walks, runs or just any kind of exercise. I'm doing this myself (my 2 young sons and husband are supportive but don't join in with me) It would be great to find some workout buddies! The weather will start getting nice soon (hopefully) and…

what is your favorite workout video? Looking to switch it up
I don't mind working out at home, in fact I kind of like it and it works well with my schedule. I would, however, like to find quite a few different videos to keep it from getting boring. I currently use Firm, JM, and on demand kickboxing. Looking for some new ones. I'd love to try P90X but truthfully I'm afraid I'm not…

running and big tatas!
So....I've been running on my treadmill now for a few months and I must say I LOVE IT! I think I just may become a runner after all....however I have pretty big tatas and I don't want to run outside lol. Well, I do, but I do not want people gawking at my chest while I run. As it stands now I wear a regular bra and a sports…

it's a shame we can't get off our high horses and really be
it's really sad to me when you come across someone who thinks they have all the answers and judge based on someone else's food diary or exercise program. We have to remember we are all on the road to better health and our journey may not go the same direction but at least we are on one. A friend of mine (in real life) was…

either you support me or you don't... which is it?
So here I am, eating right and exercising and you'd think that would make my husband happy but it really doesn't seem like it. He gives me compliments, says he notices a difference in my body and is enjoying all the new recipes I've been cooking BUT...can I get him to help keep the kids occupied while I work out…

Mom that just can't do it all......
I want to make this clear before I start that I am not exactly complaining (though it will sound like it) I love my life...I'm just extremely stressed out. I really would like to find some people here that may be in the same boat as I am or that understand or sympathize for some support/motivation. Also let me make this…

1200 calories forever???
I'm pretty new to this and I am supposed to eat 1200 cals a day. I'm not really having a problem with this but am a bit confused as to how this is going to work long term. I have about 35 lbs to lose and then of course I want to maintain it. If I hit a plateau aren't I supposed to lower calories? I understand you are never…
