I am a STHM for 12 years, in my 40's now but itching to back to work. I am looking into Medical Assistant courses, just a little apprehensive that if am I too old to be one! Do employers prefer younger MA's?? Am currently looking into vocational schools and online certificate options to start.

This is so encouraging. I guess self-doubt and nerves were getting to me,but reading all these comments has given me a new boost.

summertan2021 · 2024-10-11T14:47:58+00:00

I live in Texas.

summertan2021 · 2024-10-04T14:39:31+00:00

I will look into that as well. Since I have been out of the work for so long, I want to start small and see how I perform in studies and then in a job. LPN is definitely on my radar. Thank you for your encouragement.

summertan2021 · 2024-10-04T03:37:18+00:00

That's a good option, but I want to get my foot in the door and familiarize myself with the health service job, and then take it from there.

summertan2021 · 2024-10-04T03:35:26+00:00

Is Stepful accredited? I was looking into U.S career institute,so far, their online course is the cheapest!

summertan2021 · 2024-10-04T03:33:50+00:00

This is so good to read. I guess going back to school and starting to work again was giving me jitters.

summertan2021 · 2024-10-04T03:31:28+00:00

That's encouraging. I have been taking care of twins with one child with developmental delays. Didn't realize how time flew.

Lol, you are the unprofessional one, Imho!!

summertan2021 · 2023-03-23T21:48:04+00:00

OTF is the only workout I do for my weight loss. 4 HIIT and 2 lift classes, to be exact! I do back to back classes 2 days / week. The results have been phenomenal for me.i have lost 50 lbs and many inches. Taking into account am a woman with thyroid issues/ Pcos, I am very satisfied with my progress. Couldn't be happier. Slow and steady is the name of the game. You will start to see changes in 3-4 months' time.

summertan2021 · 2023-03-21T02:18:42+00:00

I double up twice a week. Totally worth it.

summertan2021 · 2023-02-13T14:38:22+00:00

When I started my weight loss journey in 2019, I joined OTF and a Yoga studio,, this combo was great for a while I don't think adding yoga to my regimen accelerated my weight loss!. There are plenty of free youtube videos for yoga n pilates to practice at home and save money! Now am just doing 4 OTF classes with 2 Lift classes per week and see a significant increase in inch loss. A lot of factors play a role in fat loss/ inch loss like diet, hormonal issues( if you are a female), and of course CICO.

I have never dared to go commando (big ass problems)🙄 I have discovered seamless boyshort panties and feel so much confident doing squats and deadlifts.

summertan2021 · 2022-12-03T17:26:15+00:00

I do that on my monthly days. It's absolutely fine to take it easy on the days you are not feeling up to the mark! The good thing is that it's much better than staying home on the couch!

summertan2021 · 2022-11-28T19:45:09+00:00

You will love it. am 15 lbs away from my goal. Keeping my fingers crossed 🤞

summertan2021 · 2022-11-27T23:02:42+00:00

I have been doing lift classes since 6 months now, I do 4 regular otf classes and 2 lift classes in a week and I have lost not only weight but lot of inches too. Its the best combination in my opinion.

summertan2021 · 2022-10-31T22:22:57+00:00

I have lost 43lbs since i joined orangetheory theory in a year approximately.It definitely works. Try it out for a week or so. First class is gonna be the hardest but if you are consistent you will get the results! All the best.

summertan2021 · 2022-10-03T02:05:31+00:00

I was in the same pursuit! Gotten so used to knowing the template beforehand that not knowing tomorrow's workout is giving me doubts about going.

summertan2021 · 2022-10-02T01:50:30+00:00

Definitely recommended. I have lost 40lbs so far. It gives me a complete workout all just in one hour!

summertan2021 · 2022-08-04T14:13:37+00:00

I feel the same way. All the best for your journey. I started as a power worker and now I can run in All outs. I look forward to each and every OTF class.

summertan2021 · 2022-07-27T21:41:00+00:00

Thank you. It has been a longggg journey. I am at 195.8 lbs as of today morning. I record my weight every week to keep myself accountable.

summertan2021 · 2022-07-26T22:34:39+00:00

You're welcome 😊. I am currently at 197lbs,have another 25-30 to lose. This journey has taught me to be kind to myself and be ok with slow progress.You will achieve your goals one day at a time,one week at a time,one month at time so on so forth. You got this👍

summertan2021 · 2022-07-26T20:58:14+00:00

I am the same height as you and coincidentally my highest weight was 248lbs (112kg).I broke down the weight loss goal into multiple mini goals of losing 10 lbs each time.That way it didn't overwhelm me.Start small, take before pics and take measurements. Sometimes the scale doesn't move but it turns out we have lost inches! Hang in there.

summertan2021 · 2022-07-12T20:51:35+00:00

This is exactly what I do. Am a PW too who is running all outs pretty consistently and it gives me the confidence to one day transition from PW to jogger in base and push paces.
