Workout "parties" for the ladies?
Hi everyone. I'm just verbalizing an old idea of mine here. Those of you who want fitness and exercise in your day, but are not sure how to make it routine, would you ever consider something like a workout "party" like a tupperware party? Inviting several ladies over to your home to do a workout led by a personal trainer?…

Jamie's supplement package
Does anyone use this? The supplement package on the Live Fit Trainer page of Bodybuilding.com? I feel so lost when shopping whey powders and even vitamins in general. Is it truly the same stuff she uses?

Injury in the weight room
I got injured in the weight room. Blood everywhere. Yup. LOL. I walked by the chest press machine and bumped my hand as I passed by, on the edge of one of the metal handles. It hurt. But I didn't reallize I was bleeding until I looked down and saw blood on my shirt from my dripping bloody finger. YIKES!! All I was thinking…

NETA
What do you know about the NETA certification. There's a 2-day course offered this winter relatively near me and I'm very intrigued.

I belong in the weight room. :)
My grandma fell and broke her hip a week ago. She had surgery and is now recovering. She is 90 years old. She was living in her own home, alone. She drove, worked 2x a week at the local thrift store and played cards and bingo her friends. Needless to say, she was very active and she hopes to regain her active lifestyle. I…

those looking into becoming a personal trainer
I found this website that I've been combing through to help me decide which certification is best for me.... http://www.starting-a-personal-training-business.com/ I don't know if they have a hidden agenda, but it seems like a pretty unbiased site. There's a chart that compares all the different certifications. I would like…

Easy Ice Milk Drink
It's summertime and I love some ice cream once in a while; especially the stuff straight from our home ice cream maker. But a batch of vanilla calls for egg whites (eh, not so bad), lots of heavy cream, half & half and moocho sugar. :) So I don't usually have much more than a taste of the "real" stuff. But I found a yummy…

Where do you smaller WOMEN shop?
I never, ever thought I'd be wondering this or even having to ask this question! But where do you size 4-6 women shop? I am living in a small upper midwest town and frankly, finding age appropriate clothis is a problem first, but then even more frustratingly, is the quest to find something size appropriate! granny clothes…

160 to 125 with pics
This is me about 2 years ago...roughly 160lbs. I stayed at that weight for a long time depressed and unhappy to be who I was. But at the same time I was unwilling to work at making a better me. This is me this past weekend. I am now 125lbs and happier than I could have ever imagined. People kept telling me I looked like a…

Maintenance help??
I joined MFP in January of 2011, Jan. 4th to be exact. In the last 3 months I have lost 22-25lbs (depending on the day I weigh). I'm pretty happy being in the "under 135 but over 130" range. I don't have any aspirations to be a bone-thin model or a muscly trainer. My main motivation for joining MFP was to lose weight per…

Aw, I love my daughter
LOL. My 18 month old walked into the kitchen and opened the pantry/cereal cupboard and got out her box of cheerios. She pointed to Jillian Michaels' picture on the box and said, "Mommy!" Maybe I'm doing too many Jillian workouts, lol. That'll be the day when I look like that, lol. Thought it was too cute not to share.

Non Scale Victory!!
I was so excited while getting ready for church this morning. My church pants were too big!!! Now they were never super-tight, but I had to suck it in to put them on a month ago. Now I had to keep pulling them up becaue they fell down so low on my hips! AND I can tell I'm getting stronger. Holding my 16 month old through…

heart rate moniter advice?
I'm sorry if this topic has already been covered. I'd like to invest in a heart-rate moniter. I have personal reasons besides my weight loss goals for this, but I was wondering if there are kinds/brands to look for or those that aren't worth their price-tags? Also, are there certain features that I should look for or stay…
