    Sweating right away...hmmmmm

    At the beginning of losing weight and getting in shape I took a body sculpting class at the gym and barely broke a sweat...I remember this b/c I could take it at lunch and not even need a shower. I stopped going after I found Cathe. Then like a year later, a much thinner and fitter me went...

    Feeling really misunderstood

    There was nothing wrong with your post. To quote my father, "don't let the turkeys get you down." :7

    How many calories do you eat a day?

    I'm 5'0", muscular build. I am trying to lose and aim to stay under 1500 calories a day...but I don't count non-startchy veggies, I leave them "free" to encourage myself to eat more of them to fill up. I did really well over 2 years but since Feb I've been stuck at this weight and I can't seem...

    my first chiropractic adjustment

    I've had both a horrible chiropractor and an excellent one. The first did just like your describing and said I had a bazillion problems w/my spine and that I needed a bazillion appointments. I went to an orthopedic surgeon for both a second opinion and additional help and he said I had the...

    Low Max Premixes?

    Can someone list the Low Max Premixes and lengths? I have it but I'm at work and it's at home and I'm trying to plan out in my head the rest of this weeks workouts. Specifically I'm trying to remember if it has a premix that has everything BUT the intervals.

    Getting out of a funk (sorry so long)

    Hey, hang in there. The important part is you haven't given up! You are still trying to get back in your groove and that is so important. I now wear night-time contacts, but I used to wear glasses all the time, even mountain biking. Buy one of those athletic glasses holders...REI and Dick's...

    Early morning exercisers-need help!

    I am not a morning person, but because of scheduling issues I have to get up at 4:30 to workout. I take out my contacts (I wear them at night and they reshape my cornea), rinse my face with cool water, brush my teeth, feed my cats, and read my email. By then I'm awake enough to workout and...

    Cracked corners of mouth

    Yes this happens to me occasionally. One dermatologist told me it's because my lips sort of press together at the corners so say I eat something salty, it can get kind of "trapped" there and irritate. Anyway the best solution I found was 1) don't touch your lips with your fingers unless you...

    Drill Max Participants

    I actually don't like having males in the workouts (no offense guys)! I don't know why except on I think Cardio Kicks on guy isn't in sync and I found it really distracting. I think all the ladies look so great and I find them inspiring. I don't aspire to look like a guy so I can't say...

    Breast Biopsies

    I had a benign cyst removed which I think is probably bigger than a biopsy. It was about a year ago and you can barely tell it was done and it was a pretty good size (4 stitche I think). If you were to really scrutinize the area you can see a tad redness but it's barely noticable. I used...

    Gym Style Premixes

    Has anyone taken the time to document what is in the Gym Style Premixes? For example I noticed Gym Style Legs has 2 timesaver premixes, curious which exercises differ besides just the time difference. I tried to search this forum but did not see any break downs of all 3 Gym Style DVD premixes...

    Bicep help

    About a year ago I had a bad mountain bike accident and I had to stop lifting weights for several months. Since then I've just about gotten my weight lifting up to where I was pre-accident. However, I can't seem to strengthen my biceps. I just switched to a 1-2 bodypart a day routine so I...

    Question for Venus

    I'm so sorry I didn't see this until Dorothy told me to come and check it out (she and I post on another forum too). It's a Proform trainer it's a few years old now. I like it still but if I had to do over I would have gotten the model that was $100 more so it wouldn't wobble as much. I...

    What is your ideal vs. realistic weight?

    Well I haven't even made it to my "realistic" weight which I hope is 128 (the top of my range for my height). However, I'd really like to be about 120. I've never been 120 in my adult life even before I gained weight so I don't see it as realistic for me to get that low and stay that low so...
