New to weights
Hi all. I've been working out steady and lifting progressively heavier weights since Jan. I use the weight machines since the free weight area is always packed and I'm honestly clueless over there. I've been getting great results...my arms are toning up, my stomach is shrinking, my spare tire is disintegrating (I also use…

Looking for like minded buddies
Hi All! So I've been using MFP on and off for probably 7 years. I've started, I've stopped...ive never really gave it my all. This times different. I've been steady at it since January, gradually increasing my workouts and logging on MFP. I'm now on a beautiful 77 day streak with logging and I make it to the gym at least 5…

Gym intimidation
Ok here's the deal...I am overweight and for some reason the gym scares the hell out of me. I didn't use to be this way...for a long time I went by myself and I was fine. Then I had marital problems and through that I was still fine. A few months ago I fell and ruptured my Achilles. It sucked. I gained 20 lbs and just fell…

Supplements to combat loose skin?

I am 34 years old and I have more than 100 lbs to lose (not sure how much more than 100 lbs, i'm not really thinking about it past the 100 mark at this point!) and I know that at my age I could have some issues with loose skin. I just wonder if there are any REAL supplements (oral or topical) that will help me…

Round 2..3...oh who knows! (returning customer)
I am giving this place another shot. I was doing GREAT for a while, and then LIFE happened. Life got messy, stressful, and my health was the first thing to suffer. Long story short: I'm now 36, I have two boys, a tween and a teen, and I'm mostly happily married. Living the American Dream, right?! Almost. I need to lose…

Big Oops
I am in a competition at my gym for weight loss. I spent most of last week out of town on business, and therefore ate out every day. SO, of course at last nights weigh in I hadnt lost an ounce. Well, I was pretty sad about it (but I know exactly WHY it happened). And today my husband brought me some medicine at work, and…

Dial vs. Digital Scale
So, when I first started my diet I was using my dial scale at home. I weighed in (about 5 weeks ago) and it said 270 lbs. In that time i've lost some weight and that scale now measures me at 258 lbs. WELL, I started a "Biggest Loser Challange" at my gym. And its a DIGITAL scale. And IT weighed me in at 268 last week. I…

Puyallup Tacoma area?
Hey all! I'm new to this board and I'm just trying to reach out and see if there are any peeps in the Tacoma/Puyallup area? I'm in Parkland, near PLU, so pretty close to both locations. I'm a member of Vision Quest gym and I think it'd be great to meet some like minded women to work out with. I usually go to the location…
