Lifting and Shoulder Issues
I messed up my shoulder a couple years ago using a resistance band. I haven't been able to afford an MRI to see exactly what is wrong with it, but I am assuming I must have torn my rotator cuff. I have issues with it off and on, mostly when I have been carrying something heavy or using my arms a lot. I was wondering if…

Getting Rid of Fluid Weight (My Working Theory)
Let me preface this by saying that I retain fluid like nobody's business and I've been on a fluid pill for years. So even if I am eating WONDERFULLY and exercising daily but going over on sodium I will lose absolutely NOTHING. It is extremely frustrating and drinking more water only makes me retain more. If I drink more…

176 lbs lost, 74 to go!
First let me say that I do not have any secrets or any miracle that can help you to lose weight fast. I have lost this weight over the course of YEARS, but most of it over the past 16 months. I just count my calories, watch my sodium intake, eat generally healthy, and exercise when I can find the time. I do not deprive…

We did it!!! NSV!!!
My mom and I have been doing C25K (Couch to 5K Training Program) for 6 weeks now. Today was our longest run, 20 minutes straight. Back when we started the program, running 90 seconds was nearly impossible, but today, with God's amazing strength, we ran that 20 minutes like it was NOTHING! I am just so in awe. I never in a…

Met my goal 11 days early!
SO, I wanted to be down to 300 lbs by April 1st. I weighed in this morning and I hit it today! WOOOHOOO! GOODBYE 300's!!! The 300's was the first 100's I had to go all the way through. I started at 420 back in 2008, so I only had 20 lbs of the 400's to lose. This is a great accomplishment to me! And only 5 more lbs until I…

This has NEVER happened to me!!!
SO, I ordered some clothes from fashionbug.com b/c they had a sale going and I needed some cheap clothes for summer. According to their size charts, I was pretty much in between sizes 2X and 3X. (BTW, a 4X used to be really tight on me at my biggest) So, I ordered the 2X, b/c why get the bigger size when I am losing…

I am really wanting a decent priced HRM so that I will more accurately know my calories burned. I am wondering if anyone knows of a HRM that has a very large chest strap and isn't super expensive. There is no way a normal sized one will fit me, especially not right now.
