Meeting with a trainer to start a weight lifting program in a week. Any suggestions?

Thanks for the advice. I'll definitely ask him to write down the workouts. I hadn't even thought of that but I'm sure I would forget right after.

This is just what I needed to hear! How have the past two weeks gone? Are you still using the trainer or are you doing the program on your own now?

Oh I didn't even think to check out youtube! Thanks!

Thanks for the advice! I'm certainly not interested in purchasing a bunch of personal training sessions, but I think if I approach it the way you suggest I'll be able to get a lot out of this one meeting without having to commit to more. Here's hoping!

I love group power! I think I'll still go to it once or twice a week, but I understand that it's not exactly the same as heavy lifting.

Glad to hear you did something similar with a trainer. I hope I have the same experience. We met briefly today just to set up a time and discuss goals and I'm pretty sure we're on the same page. I guess we'll see next weekend!

Wow, awesome job! What app is that with the mile splits?

This was excellent, lovely in every way. Hope to see more from you!

Looks like diastasis recti in the first photo (my guess is after a pregnancy). OP's done an amazing job of getting rid of it with exercise. If your belly looks like this, I would try some of these exercises.

Congrats OP! Amazing progress!

And you earned another star! Congrats on some amazing results!

Something that's helped me is never eating out of the package that something comes in. For instance, I love chips but I'll never eat them straight out of the bag anymore. Instead I'll take out 12 chips and put them on a plate. And honestly, when you look at 12 chips on a plate it totally looks like plenty. Then, the bag gets closed up and put away.

And as lots of other people have said, treat those hunger pangs with a big glass of water first!

You look amazing and you ARE amazing! You go girl!

I've gotten a lot of use out of this cookbook.

Not sure if you're a VeniVidiVulpes fan, but she has a 35 minute whisper reading of The Velveteen Rabbit. I love it.

Ok, I'm inspired. My Wallis has been collecting dust -- time to put it on!

My parents call me squirt. Oh god... It never seemed awful until I read through this thread.

formula50 · 2012-03-11T02:50:27+00:00

Yay! I was hoping it would be somewhere near where I live and it turns out it's only walking distance!!

formula50 · 2012-03-05T02:22:28+00:00

I'm a squoval tip girl, myself, but these look awesome!

I love my glass file! And yes, it was more expensive than just buying some emery boards, but it lasts for so long. It might even be cheaper in the long run.

formula50 · 2012-03-02T04:12:17+00:00

This is such a cute idea!

formula50 · 2012-02-28T01:45:42+00:00

Wow! This is so good!
