Well, I'm happy to do classes that interest me. Some are intimidating though, like the fit ball class, just b/c i don't feel comfortable w/ it. I'll give it a try..eventually..i would really like to get the hang of one class for now though - the total body workout, which includes a step..it's looks...

I started the Weight Watchers program on 9/16. Unfort I have only lost 4.2(?) including 2 small gains I've had. I just recently started to go to the gym about 2 weeks ago. Lee has been helping me out w/ routine. I'd much rather stick to the machines b/c I enjoy them and I'm comfortable...but SHE sa...

Ok, I don't expect someone to find out caloric needs for me (as I know it differs with everyone) but if someone could look at what I ate today and tell me if you think I am eating too much i'd really appreciate it. I am one of those people who gets really paranoid about eating too much and im so sc...

I am a 23 year old college graduate. I have always had a weight problem but when I did manage to lose the weight, life intervened. This is third and final go around losing weight as God is witness. I plan to do teach for america in two years. I live in San Diego but plan to go back home to MD in 07...

Wow it sounds like you are doing great! I wish I was in your kind of shape. I hear you on the sweet tooth.. isnt it awful? Espec' since it was just Halloween that hasn't helped! I'm going to try your idea with sticking to 6 small meals a day and see how that goes for me too. Good luck! I know Hallo...

Hi everyone..im brand new to this site and i've been working out and trying to eat well for quite a while now but over the past couple weeks ive really been having trouble with sugar! I find that I have a sweet tooth after I have a meal and its quite frustrating, or around 4pm thats when I tend to ...

Hey Swano!!Checking in!!! Hope you had a good week. I have been working hard at the gym the last couple of weeks. Lifting heavier weights and interval cardio. ( 3 days weights 3 days cardio..one day rest) I have noticed changes in body shape and strength. I did not follow food plan as well as I coul...

deadlifts - make sure your arms are straight when doin these...i can only imagine pain coming from if they're not push ups - you can elevate your feet on bench, then a ball...then keep raiseing your feet untill your doing handstand push ups...can do with 1 hand on a medicene ball, db etc...db grip ...

if the sl squats are too hard try static split squats which is a luge but on the spot...aim to get back knee to the ground so both knee joints are at a perfect 90 degree angle I am not sure if I will ever be able to do a sl squat...but I plan to keep trying. I have been trying it with a ball agains...

Thanks for the onfo. It is interesting and useful. I had a good cardio session this morning. I am getting the hang of the intervals. Everything feels good. No hurt ,strains,or sprains. Keeping a journal of weight excercises was great advice. I dont have to try and remember where I was. I can begin a...

Thanks for explaining how to calculate "muscle weight" IT is very clear. Can you increase the water % simply by drinking more water? or do you have to make more muscle to hold more water? I suspect the latter... I am not sure if I can drink any more water than I do...and not carry a portab...

to get the best reading the book is correct but to get an "everyday" reading i would do it at about 4 or 5pm after you've had most of your food and trained...the time the book syas to take it, you'll only be that wt for that particular time of the day so isn't toally accurate unless evert...

I did some research about as you suggested. It would seem that 30% does fall into an acceptable range for age and gender.I also found that I should not take the "test" within 12 hours of excercise and should have nothing to eat or drink for 4 hours before.....as well as an empty bladder an...

Oh God.........30.5% body fat........144lbs

It says in the booklet that 23% is ideal for me.........wonder what I will have to do to get there..........
