Ladies...what can you bench press?
I am so excited, I found out today how much I can bench press...170lbs! woop woop! I can also squat press 230. I want to bench 200 and squat 300. I think that would be awesome! Now, if only the weight would just come off. I guess it's time to kick it up a notch. I guess my body is just used to being fat and wants to hold…

Mindless eaters...a NSV!
So I had this idea to experiment with freezing yogurt. I have a friend that makes frozen yogurt bites so I thought maybe I could put the whole cup in there. Awesome! I got to just mindlessly sit and eat something and it was only 60 calories and 3 grams of sugar. So if you are one of those people like me who is missing the…

Soreness??
I had an intense training session yesterday and I'm not sore today...should I be? I've been working with her for a month and working out on my own off and on for several months. I'm RARELY sore the next day. I've been sore before. Am I aiming for a workout intense enough that I am sore the next day? I'm a little confused.

I just can't stick to it
I haven't lost weight in 6 weeks and I am convinced it's my eating. I just cannot stick to eating right. I don't go over 1900 calories...but what does it matter. I feel like I blew it today with Mcdonalds. I am still under calories for the day but geez....I can't keep the sugar down. I thought this was just about calories…

Question for a nutrition expert
I was wondering how bad my habit was affecting my weight loss. I tend to get up and get my daughter ready for school, then go back to bed till my son wakes up. I am sometimes eating breakfast around 10-11am. Am I doing more harm than good? I'm not tired exactly, I just enjoy sleeping. Should I stop this and stay up at…

need help figuring some things about body fat percentage
OK, I am EXTREMELY bad at understanding math, algebra and all things like that. I want to know what I should weigh and have a reasonable goal weight. My weight right now is 252 and my body fat percentage is 42.6%. I want to be at around 22% body fat. I have no idea what that would be. From my own figures I should weigh…

My friend's post on fb! LOLZ
Dear people at the gym, Please do not get on the SPIN bikes if you are just going to play games and send messages. That is what the recumbent bikes are for. Oh, and drinking a polar pop defeats the purpose. And I hate you. Thanks, the crazy Spin girl. I'd like to know what girl she is talking about. We go to the same gym…

I need help wrapping my head around this
I feel I am at the point in this weight loss journey that I need to learn how to be my own cheer leader instead of a jeer leader. I just have so much bad internal dialog. How can I really get rid of it? I enjoy working out and I have overcome a lot of issues with eating and I want to be healthier. I discovered something…

Woo-hoo, go hubby!
I am so proud of my hubby! He is on the treadmill right now and is still going strong...he's been there for about 20 minutes! His blood sugar is down to around 180. Yes still high, but much better than 400 it was averaging. He's eating much better and I feel like we are in this weight loss thing together. This is so…

Is it chemistry?
So I was wondering about something...is there chemistry involved to being attracted to your spouse? I just got to thinking about it today. My friends husband came into a church social thing smelling of car ick. you know working on a car and having grease and what not...smelled a bit like gas...well I could care less about…

No idea where to put this, had the scare of my life!!!
Went with my hubby to his doctor's appointment. He has type 2 diabetes. They gave him an A1C test to see what his average blood glucose levels are...his average was running around 400-500 gah!!!! His doc said if this isn't under control in 6 weeks he will have to go on insulin. Insulin!!! I do not want him to have to be on…

Wow...I left the gym barely able to walk!
I hate wall sits, but I will continue to do them. Anyway, I think I found my fitness thing.....lifting weights! I kept trying to get into running but it bores me to no end. Something about lifting distracts my brain...I can zone out doing that! So, how do I keep from bulking...or do women bulk? I saw a post about bulking…

blood sugar and weight loss
What should your blood sugar be at when trying to lose weight? I'm not diabetic. I keep hearing things about where you want your blood sugar to be at and I was wondering if there was any truth to it. Somewhere I read said that keeping your blood sugar around 90 was best. I'm just confused. my hubby is a type 2 diabetic and…

To those who have lost 100+lbs
What did you do? How did you eat ? What kinds of exercise did you do? I'm really curious and need some encouragement. I just feel I am going to be 250 for the rest of my life. I can't even visualize myself thin! I will keep at it because I do want to be healthy and I enjoy a good workout, but I cannot visualize me thin!

Hey, parents, who else does this?
Sometimes when my 5 yr old son falls asleep in my lap....I will sit there and love on him and let him sleep there. Sometimes my arm will fall asleep, but I don't care. Our kids are little for such a short time I want to enjoy every moment I have with both of them. I have a 10yr old daughter, but she doesn't do that…

I need tips on how to curb night time eating
I am getting better at this nighttime eating, but not as in control as I would like to be. I don't quite understand why I want to eat at night. It starts around 8pm and I just want to munch, munch,munch! I had about 2 servings of hummus and carrots plus 3 of those fiber one brownies. Sigh...At least I'm not completely out…

Confused about the whole TDEE thing
OK, I went to a few different websites and they say I have a TDEE of 2926 and a BMR of 1886. This was figured with moderate exercise. What should I do with this info? My trainer has suggested a caloric intake of 1700. I am just a little confused. He told me to eat around 1700 calories and not go over 40 grams of sugar.…

I made myself like water!
I have been making myself drink plain ice water since Thursday and now I like it. I took a tiny sip of my son's fruit punch and thought it was nasty. So with time people can learn to like water. I used to hate it and would go week without water and just drink tea, milk, or soda pop. So now it's all I drink. I made the…

I think I hit bottom
Well, I had a horrible/good experience Wen night. I went out of town with the hubby to visit the in-laws and they took the kids overnight. We got to stay in the jacuzzi room. I have never been in one of those and having to be naked in the light kind of started some of this. A part of me just wanted to run and hide. Being…

OMG...why is this in a protein bar?? Ranting.
So I bought some protein bars and while reading labels in the store I was shocked by the amount of sugar in these thing. Why is there sugar in these things anyway? Also I was shocked to see that Snickers made a protein bar. It had the most sugar of all! I found some with 1 gram of sugar and those weren't bad at all. I need…

I think my issues are sabotaging me
This is a long story.REALLY LONG..I have always had a minor weight issue. As a teen I was always 20-40lbs overweight. I struggled with it and just didn't know how to lose weight. This was coupled with a helicopter mother who didn't think I was overweight and just big boned only added to my frustration. So, in '99 I…

Felt sorry for myself and blew it...well, sugar blew it
I just felt so down. It's been 2 1/2 weeks with no changes. I ate 2 cadbury creme eggs....and I still have 900 cals left....but went over on the sugar. I feel bad about blowing, I feel bad about no changes. I just want to lose the weight. I just don't understand why I have to work out at...what I call Biggest Loser…

Exersice addict
So, I was wondering if someone who previously has had a low activity level could become almost addicted to the gym? I have been going every day since the 18th. I am struggling with needing to stay home today. I find myself trying to figure out how to get a workout in. I need to stay home and study for a test on Mon....oh…

not really wanting meat
Since I started working out again, I find myself slowly not eating as much meat as I once was. My hubby made some homemade beef veggie soup and I find myself putting back chunks of meat. I might only eat one or tow pieces. What I really want is the veggies. I roasted a head of cauliflower and wanted to eat the whole thing!…

Is it cheating ??
Is it cheating to eat skinny cow? And still be under calories for the day?
