60 lbs lost less than a year with pics
Hello everyone! So here I am 9 months into my new healthy lifestyle and am about halfway to my goal. I needed to remotivate myself to get the remaining 60 lbs off so I am putting up a before and current picture. I honestly don't recognize the before picture as me. I am appalled that I let myself get to that point. I don't…

Almost 50lbs down from mid Sept 2012
I just can't believe how far I've come. I'm turning 30 on Thursday, and feel better than I did at 20. Thank you all for the support! I'm going to be triumphant in this battle because I AM WORTH IT! You can do it too, because YOU ARE WORTH IT! Starting weight: 288 lbs Current weight: 245 lbs

configuring HRM
I cannot find the instructions for my sportline HRM. I wanted to know how to know which "sense" to set my HRM to. I have the options of sense 1, sense 2, and sense 3. I'd appreciate any insight. Thank you!

31 lbs down since end of September
Hi there. I was contemplating on posting as I'm not near my goal. I decided to post because I needed some motivation today. This site has basically saved my life. At 29 and almost 300 lbs I wasn't able to do a lot of things. I was miserable and headed to a dead end, literally. I started this journey towards the end of…

Gym time
I tell myself, "you ONLY have to do 20 mins of WHATEVER cardio activity you like everyday." I incorporate strength training as well. One day I do upper body the next day lower body, and EVERYDAY do crunches and planks. But you see, when I'm at the gym doing the 20 mins of cardio, I ALWAYS do more. Why can't I just STOP?!…

Just move, right?!
Holy ab burn! I did 100 crunches at 120 lbs yesterday and 3 planks at 30 sec a plank. I don't feel like going to the gym today. I think that's ok though, I dont really feel like going on the treadmil. I'm going to turn on netflix and find zumba or some sort of fun movement. What do you think? I don't want to get in a…

Planks
I am proud of myself. Although this may be extremely easy for some/most of you, it was quite an accomplishment for me. I did 3 reps of planks at 30 seconds a plank. I just started doing planks yesterday, and had a hard time holding up for 20 seconds. Today, I pushed through it, and made myself real proud. Happy…

Lunges/Squats and the day AFTER
I worked out with an exercise physiologist yesterday and did some things I have not done in a long time, lunges and squats. I did 2 sets of 15 on each leg. afterwards my legs were shaky, but I kept on going with leg curls and I was fine with that machine. Today, I am not so much sore but unsteady when using my quads-ie…
