Hey Weightlifters...
First off...background info. I don't lift very heavy...Ex : today i was doing bent over rows with 25lb dumbells; barbell curls with 20lbs, etc. I've been lifting for awhile and as I increase weight I keep noticing a sort of cramp in my left arm...kind of like it feels when you need to pop a knuckle and it doesn't want to…

Grrr Aggravated with 'friend' (Not fitness related)
Okay, I need some advice. My friend is always asking me for rides home. I always say yes. I'm getting tired of it. He asked me again today because his wife is leaving early and he isn't, so he needs a ride. I already said yes, but feel like I am going to explode with anger. What should I do? Note: They only own one car. He…

Need new ideas for new goals
I lost 17 lbs. I am at 140. I wanted to get leaner, but my husband keeps insisting I am fine where I am. So I am kind of at a crossroads. My abs are flat and slightly defined. I have 'sidelines' (As my friend and I call them) but no 'playing field'. The shorts the Navy requires me to wear are loose again...I've had to…

P90X? Weights? What is best for me. :)
I am getting smaller (ya!!) and now I am starting to focus more on muscle definition and such. I want to try P90x, but not sure what all it entails. Jumping around is 100% out of the question because of my bum left leg and my bum right ankle. I can barely do squats and lunges without my ankle whining like a little B*. For…

Janet Tomiyana says that the stress of counting calories often works against dieters. She had three groups: one that counted calories, one that ate low calorie food provided, and one that did a…

Trying this Again the Right way
Hello all. :) Am trying to lose about 10lbs (Which I know isn't a lot) but I need a sort of support system to do so. The last time I lost weight I went to extremes...I became a compulsive exerciser and begin to restrict my food consumption. Once I begin losing with that method I had a hard time stopping. I can't workout as…
