Success/Progress Photos! Stuck inside on this snow day.
I thought maybe I could share a few of my progress photos because I am stuck inside today. Everyone please share yours and lets stay motivated! My journey began here in 2011. I was so out of shape and had been that way since I started college in 2006 and gained 50lbs my first year! I didnt start losing weight until I was…

Any other female construction workers?
Hey all! Just a little over 6 months ago I accepted a job as a painter at my local shipyard. I never really had much upper body strength so I knew that lifting things (especially over my head) might be a struggle. When I first started it was hot and my 4-6 workouts a week became sleeping and eating ice cream. Now I have…

Another Blender Question: Easy Cleanup?
For all of you blender owners/smoothie makers: How easy to clean are your blenders? I currently have a blender but it is such a pain in the butt to clean (separate rings to take the blade out and have to wash several pieces). Anyone have an easy to clean version? I want to start making smoothies in the morning but haven't…

NSV with photos!
I was feeling a little down today because I could barely get through my workout. I tried a new machine at the gym that I thought would be easy but it kicked my butt. Lately I have felt horrible because I haven't been able to workout. I got my motorcycle in March and had been having an awesome time learning to ride. Until…

I didn't know 12lbs would be such a difference!
As someone with many pounds to lose I didn't think 12lbs would make me look any different. And when I took photos today I didn't notice much from the front or back. But my side photo! I have to share. Hopefully it will encourage some of you out there to just keep going! I need a new bra, this one got too big and now…

My NSV for today. What is yours?
Hello there :) Today I went to the gym, which I am loving more and more every day. But, my NSV for today was the fact that I went over into the free weight section and did a really good arm workout. Most girls are super intimidated of all that big bulky metal and weights that don't have diagrams showing you how to use…

Getting my life back together and Looking for some friends
Hey All, My name is Alyssa. I have been on MFP for a little while now and I still don't have any friends. It didn't bother me until recently when I started really using this site. None of my other friends are on here and I recently broke up with my boyfriend who was a great motivator. We would push each other hard at the…

My legs hurt :(
I started working out back in June and got a good routine of 4-5 days a week at the gym. I didn't lose a lot of weight but got a lot of other NSV from working out (like less migraines!) but then the holidays rolled around and I got this awful cold which kept me from the gym. I finally got back into the gym last week and…
