Oh yeah... my nose runs, (It's called exercise-induced rhinitis) sweat drips off every part of my body, but most especially from my head, which causes it to run in my eyes and sting. I have sometimes wondered if I am literally the sweatiest person on the planet. It's epic. WAY more than...

Thanks everyone for your kind words. I will miss my dear husband the rest of my life, but I choose to focus on the blessings instead of the hardships. Like I said, everybody has a story.... and everybody has experienced sadness and loss in their lives. How we choose to react to that, and...

Clare, I agree with you. Nobody should ever "copy" anybody else. We should all do what works for us individually. However, you completely misinterpreted my point to the original poster. My point was threefold... 1) if cardio isn't getting her where she wants to be, then change it up, 2) she...

I'm with everyone else...cut the extensive cardio and up your calories. I also don't see how you're maintaining that workout schedule with such a low calorie intake. I'd gnaw my arm off! LOL! I workout hard every day, twice a day at least, and I don't count calories. I eat what I need. I...

The daughter of a good friend of mine will be competing in women's weightlifting! Her name is Jenny Arthur. She attended the same high school my son did, and is from our town of Gainesville, GA. She is awesome! http://www.gainesvilletimes.com/archives/114599/

I've been reading this thread with interest and hesitated to chime in because my recent story is very sad..... I was married to the love of my life for almost 38 years. Last February (2015) he passed after a bout with pneumonia. He was a Veterinarian and the best man I've ever known. We have...

I've always gone with the theory that the things I hate are probably the things I need the most. I've learned to like burpees, mountain climbers, push ups and those kinds of body weight moves. The more I do them, the easier they get. The pikes on the stability ball have become easier since...

Another vote for the Pyramids! I love that I have gone up in weight since I started doing this one years ago. It is a great challenge, even to this day! I have it memorized so it's a great one to do in hotel workout rooms when I travel.

Yes, isn't it pretty? Haha! I love pink, and when I saw that TRX offered the pink in conjunction with Breast Cancer Research, I had to have it!

Heated floors in the gym? My dream would be the opposite, cooled floors! I don't ever let my room get warmer than about 65 degrees. It has a separate HVAC zone, so I can set it exactly where I want and the rest of the house is not affected. In the winter it stays about 65 without heat, in...

Thanks everyone! My room is very special to me and I'm so blessed to have it. We renovated our home in 2004, and that's when we put the room in. Before that, I was using the space in front of the TV in my bedroom. I wore the carpet out in that little spot. I'd LOVE for anyone to visit...

These first three photos are ones I took today with my phone.... These are from a few years ago taken with my camera. They show the room a little better....

Hey ladies... I think the workout room you are talking about completely walled with mirrors and the glass block window is mine. I probably shared it here. I can post photos of it again if you'd like. I LOVE my room. The only addition I've made in the last few years is a hook in the ceiling...

First of all, congrats! Second, get rid of the idea that you are "eating for two" and you're "going to gain weight anyway, so why not just eat anything." You do not have to gain a ton of weight. Eat like you always do. Workout how you feel. I continued to walk and do my usual routine of...

Like Jane, I eat some fruit and dairy, but I'm not trying to lose weight. My friend who lost the weight and changed her body so drastically stopped ALL sugar, including fruit. There is sugar in fruit. A lot of people make the mistake of thinking that since eating fruit is healthy, the sugar...

Just chiming in to say that eliminating sugar is key. And that means all sugar, most especially alcohol (wine)!!! That is one of the worst offenders. I have eliminated sugar just to feel better and see better definition with my workouts, but I have many menopausal friends who have come off...

I agree that it is so different for everyone. The big challenge is finding what works for YOU. I will be 60 this year, and have finally figured out what gives me muscle and keeps it on. For me it's lifting heavier than ever, and doing cardio at bootcamp (I do 8 of them a week) at my local...

Lots of good info here, as always! Thanks ladies! I also adhere to a pretty strict diet. Of course no sugar. No white carbs (bread, etc.) and lots of lean protein. My favorite meal is a salad, and that seems to be the easiest way to eat when I'm dining out. One thing I'm always careful...

I'll be 60 this year. Please, please count your blessings. If you are healthy and happy, you've got this. I have not slowed down a bit in what I can do fitness wise. I'm lifting heavier than I ever have and continue to gain muscle definition. I am also doing a boot camp 7 or 8 times a week...

I understand exactly! I have the same body type. I have FINALLY figured out what works for me. I used to run miles and miles. I still did Cathe and strength training, but could never figure out why I didn't have nice muscles. I decided to quit running so much, and started doing boot camp...
