    4 weeks to wedding--best exercises?

    With only 4 weeks to go, I'm happy with my weight, but a little bikini-shy about my body composition. I don't expect any miracles, but I wanted some insight on best workouts to do over the next 4 weeks. I fell out of my workout routine with my tummy tuck 6 months ago. Now my tummy looks much...

    Biggest "bang" in a month (or rotation suggestion)

    I have just decided to "try out" for the novice rowing team at my school. I thought we only had club rowing to find out it has just been made an official sport, which has the added difficulty of tryouts. I'm FAR from the athletic capabilities desired, but the coach is encouraging me to tryout...

    Bra "vanity sizing"!

    RE: Bra I guess I can't relate:( I was just happy with the addition of "nearly B" because it was A or AA otherwise! Actually, the "nearly B" is a bit too roomy, but don't tell. Why must fat be deposited on my thighs with nothing up top??

    The frustration of being overweight and unfit

    This past year (this will account for the discrepancy in my user name) I lost about 35lbs. Still, I am FAR from where I want to be, but of course I feel better. The reason I have come here is because I feel the need to re-evaluate my course of action and my goals. I run into a problem here...

    Goal Setting: how to choose something challenging but realistic

    Sorry for all the posts recently, I am just resolved to lose weight and get fit and healthy in 2007. I realize that exercise is the ONLY way for me and I know that by trial and error. Anyway, I'm feel kinda self-conscious posting here because...well...I haven't been really exercising. I...

    Not sure if I'll ever eat "clean"--is there any hope?

    I do want to be healthy, I really do. Mostly I'm just focusing on the exercise aspect--my aunt has lost 48lbs. almost solely because of upping the exercise. The problem that still exists is food. I eat a fairly balanced, healthy diet, at least when compared to the American "fast food and...

    Rocky #752

    When I first saw the trailor I thought the same thing. "Rocky Balboa"--how original! But then I read a review from a critic who said he had been horribly underwhelmed by all the sequels to Rocky and was expecting the same, but said "Rocky Balboa" could be the secret success of the year--that...

    Always overweight: need help with a better body

    I went to a diet doctor and the protein-sparing modified fast is pretty much a fast that allows high-quality protein to keep you from losing muscle. You can do it at-home, but mine was shakes. This is not the same as medi-fast or opti-fast. My doctor monitored me weekly with ekgs, blood work...

    Always overweight: need help with a better body

    I have never been not-heavy. I am 19 and I have come to the realization that the only time I ever lose weight or do any good for my body is when I exercise. After having this epiphany, I want to hop on the fitness bandwagon really fast, but I want to do it with caution. I did a...

    3-4 days cathe, 3-4 days gym: any ideas?

    I have been doing a protein-sparing modified fast to drop some pounds and give me a "kick start" to getting healthier. Right now I'm at a crossroads and not sure if I want to continue the fast to continue the quick weightloss or do a more balanced weightloss plan, but what I know for sure is...

    Only Cathe on weekend-what to do?(cross post)

Now I'm going to college and I want to keep from gaining the dreaded "Freshman 15" and in fact would like to shed some weight and firm up. I plan on coming home most weekends and thought that would be when I can use Cathe. I plan...

    Help me help my mom

    I truly did not mean to offend anyone. My point, in fact, was that fifty is NOT old: not even close. I was more wondering about the problems after menopause and things like bone density. I totally agree that fifty can be just as fit as any other age. So I am sorry for offending you Candi...

    Help me help my mom

    My mom is 51 and from talking with her, I know she wants to get into better shape. In middle school, highschool, and college she was a very good athletic figure skater and never had any trouble with weight. After 3 kids she tried Weight Watchers a couple times, but never any real exercise...
