Hi, I have been going to the gym religiously for almost 1
year now 3 to 4 times a week doing lots of resistance
training and cardio (treadmill & Arc Machine). I am
4'11" and when I started my weight loss program I was
203 pounds. Since then I have gone down to 159 pounds.
My question is why do I hit plateaus that last 3 to 4
weeks to end? I am happy with my progress but I would
like it to go a little faster, if at all possible.

Hi, I am a fifteen year old in need of some help. I am
20-30 lbs. overweight. Now that might nit seem like much
to you, but in high school this amount of weight can
ruin your life. I can't help eating. It's like an
addiction or disease that I can't seem to shake. Please
respond to this. I need help. I've spent the last 5
years of my life like this, watching all my friends
getting dressed up and looking wonderful and then
looking at the mirror and becoming totally disgusted
with what I see. I feel that I'm too young for this.
Please, someone who is out there that can give me some
help or advice, please do. I don't feel that I will be
able to live like this anymore. Please respond. If this
message has no result, than I know that I will feel
truly alone. Thank you for your thoughts.

For the longest time I've
wanted to firm up my stomach and arms but never had the
time to workout, or when I did I'd exercise for a couple
days before I would just give up. luckily this summer
I've started a fitness routine that I've been sticking
to :jogging for 40 minutes, followed by 100 crunches,
and weight lifting. so far i think I'm on a good track
to losing the fat only I haven't changed my unhealthy
eating habits and although I will try to eat more
nutritious foods I'm sure that I won't completely let go
of the foods I normally eat (ex., a lot of bread!). yet
besides that fact I'm hoping that by mid august I'll
finally have a somewhat flat tummy. will I? or because
of what I eat is it not possible? Help!!

Staying thin and keeping
your muscle tone is no secret. Love yourself and your
body and eat fruits, vegetables and lean protein. Also,
exercise every day...even if it's 30 minutes. Find
something you like. I stay a size 4-6 and never think
about it because I want my body to be a healthy one, not
one full of junk food, butter, flour, sugar and fat.

Hi everyone! I am 37 years
old, 5'5" and weigh 190lbs. I have been on Zoloft for 2
years now. I have gained 45 pounds within a year! For
the past three months I was restricting my calories to
1300 a day, including 8 glasses of water with a touch of
unsweetened cranberry juice (suppose to help flush the
fat out of your system), drank low fat whey protein
shakes daily, ate fruits, veges, fiber and protein,
lifted weights for an hour a day 4 times weekly and did
an hour of aerobics daily and I lost not one pound! I am
very discouraged, and from what I read on
antidepressants, its hard to get the weight off, almost
impossible while still taking the meds. Has anyone been
able to lose weight while taking an antidepressant and
if so, what did you do that worked for you?? I would
love to be healthy, toned and happy instead of fat,
flabby and very unhappy with myself. Please email me!!
Your help and advice will be greatly appreciated!! Thank
you!!

Hi Ladies. I live north of
the Detroit area. I am wondering if there is anyone in
the area, close to my age, who is interested not in
weight loss alone but also in building muscle. I have
always have that stocky (butch) build and I decided that
I'm going to make the best of it. If men are going to
call me butch then I'm REALLY going to give them a
reason to. Lots of conflicting info out there. I need to
find another woman out there who shares my goals as the
youngster boys at GNC look at me like I'm crazy and a
lost cause.

I am 36, 5'4�. I started
on March 15, 2004 when I was 230 pounds. As of May 2,
2004 about 6 weeks I am 197 and have dropped 33 pounds.
I do weight lifting about 3-4 times a week; I do the
treadmill or walk EVERYDAY, apart from that even on the
days I do weight lifting. I don�t eat unless I got to. I
know it must not be the best way but its working for me.
I am very addicted to food and trying to stay away from
it as mush as possible. I might on a good day do 200
calories. Not for everyone but only way I know how to do
it with the results that I am looking for. My goal is
150 bye end of summer. It takes so much will power and
determination not to put that food in my mouth.

Help, I�m 5 feet and
116-118 lbs. Goal weight 110 lbs. I�ve heard that a
person with width from hip to knee and short should not
do any cardio or weight training so what is the best
workout for a person like me and what�s wrong workout. I
do treadmill too. It seems to me that when I do any
workout, weight training and treadmill I do get bulky
from hip to knee. Please help me. Thanks

I am 51 and I work out quite
regularly. I have gained muscle everywhere but my stomach is
getting bigger especially my upper abdomen. How can I get

Hi Ladies, this site is
amazing. I too enjoy the motivating emails. I need to lose
about 100 pounds and am on a mission. I have lost 18
already. I have been doing water aerobics and working out on
my elliptical trainer opposite days. Does anyone have any
great mid ab excercises? How about with the workout ball? I
am also trying to find excercises for my back area just
under the shoulder blades, and suggestions especially with
pictures is appreciated. If anyone is from Winnipeg and
looking for a motivation buddy please drop me a line!

Are there any exercises that
will decrease more of my stomach/upper arms area than my
buttocks in hips? Are there any particular programs that
concentrate on my upper body while leaving my lower body
relatively untouched?

Hi, I came across this site by
chance and now I'm totally addicted! A lot of useful
information indeed. By the way, I'm thinking of joining a
gym (from the past 7 months!) I'm not overweight, I only
want to tone my body, but my laziness gets the better of me.
I want some serious motivation girls, so if you could help
me, I'd be glad. While on the topic, has anyone experienced
any changes in the menstrual cycle after regular work-outs?
One of my friends had this problem so I am a bit
apprehensive.
Please get in touch with me.
Cheers!!!

Hello everyone! I am an active
26 year old who recently returned to full time school and am
looking for an email exercise buddy to keep me motivated in
my exercise. I had to move from a temperate to a frigid
climate to go to school last Sept. and I'm finding it hard
to motivate myself to exercise as I can't go outside! I'll
be going to the gym, but I prefer the great outdoors.
Thanks!

Hi! I am 52 and just had a
tummy tuck 5 months ago. The Dr. didn't tighten the abs
muscles and I have flat lower abs but a pregnant looking
belly on top of it! I'm trying to find the right exercises
to tighten up the mid abs myself. Can anyone help?

I'm writing a research paper
about what motivates women to workout at health clubs as
opposed to working out at home, but I cannot find any
articles on the web. Please tell me any of your experiences
with health clubs (co-ed or women-only). Please also tell me
what your routines are and what works for you. I need to
gather my info and complete my paper within a few weeks!
(Today's date: 10/10/03) (I am also interested in an online
fitness buddy as well!!) Thanks so much,

gym and so far love it. I am worried though that I will
loose what ever chest I have. What can I do. I am thin and
my goals are just to tone up. Is there anything I should
avoid (cardio) or focus on (weights)? Thanks I can't wait to
hear what you have to say!!!
