This is frustrating
So I joined a gym in November, mostly to lose weight. I was 65 pounds overweight and it was affecting my health, as I also have Type II Diabetes. I hired a personal trainer because I knew if I didn't, I wouldn't go on my own. From November to January, my body fat went down quite a lot, but I was still weighing the same. I…

I am paying tons of money by going to the gym because if I didn't go, I wouldn't be posting this. This is what I do outside of the gym. It keeps the work out different. If you do the same thing every day, your body will get used to it and you don't want that to happen. What you need: A road to work out on. A bike an MP3…

Just introducing myself
I live in Phoenix. I am 47 years old. Started using MFP and working out back in November, well, maybe not MFP all the time, but I am starting to use it now. Lost 35 pounds so far and MFP makes for a good calorie tracker. I'll post how I diet and how I work out in the corresponding sections. Take care all and keep doing…
