197 to 130: Can I do it? Maybe with some help.
Hey there! I used to be fit years ago but college messed me up. I've battled with my weight for way too long. I've already been logging for almost thirty days and I'm down ten pounds. Can you help? I love talking to people who are trying to lose weight just like I am. I visit the gym a few times a week and do thirty…

Tough Mudders?
Are there any Tough Mudders on here? I really want to do a race but I wanted to hear some testimonials first. Did you love it or hate it? Was it the hardest thing you've ever done? What type of training did you do to get yourself in shape beforehand? The last question is really the most important!

Running with your dog
So I've got this Boxer that I would LOVE to take on runs with me. She's only a year and a half old and has SO much energy! So I thought it would be great to leash her up and take her on a jog. :noway: Have you ever had such a neurotic dog that she has NO problem walking on a leash but as soon as the speed picks up, she…

Who Do You Go To For Support? And Who Do You Avoid?
For me, it's my boyfriend- a certified personal trainer (almost... he's still working on it). He almost always has some kind of motivational words to make me kick my butt into gear and get out there. He's half the reason I started working out in the first place. :smile: I avoid most of my family. Some are overweight and…

Tanning: Yay or Nay?
I've been glow-in-the-dark white since I was a small child (not counting the blistering red sunburns from prolonged beach visits) and add being overweight to that and I looked like a beluga whale. However, after losing 35 pounds, building some muscle, and constantly whining about the stubborn stretch marks, my trainer…

Need some friends to help keep me on track!
Hi! My name is Maria and I used to weigh 190 pounds. At 22 years old and only 5' 5", I couldn't take it anymore. So I got up off my butt and got moving. I'm down to 160 now but my goal weight is 135. I go to the gym four to five times a week and I just added weight training to my fitness routine. Diet is my weakness and it…
