Foxxie

I am! I'm still having to take it slow because of my feet but the incline is AMAZING! I'm so glad I bought it

Hi everyone! Last I posted I was doing well losing weight. It's been around a year since then. Life got in the way, depression kicked my butt and now I have to start over! BUT I'm staying hopeful! I'm back with a vengeance! And this time I did something I never thought I'd do! It's not a big deal to people I know, but to me it was a goal I never thought I'd do-I bought a treadmill! And so far I'm loving it! Has anyone utilized a treadmill with iFit before? I am in the process of this and will be starting some of the cool things they have. There is an extra feature (at least that's what I call it) Where you can use google maps, and run these pre set areas that are various distances. It's supposed to "help" you see different parts of the world while you work out. Anyone tried it? If so how was it? Also: How are y'all?!

Thank you everyone! I cheated and celebrated with a little bit of ice cream :3 I have been thrilled over this

Soo I am still trying to get the hang of this site-I don't have internet access much at the moment-BUT! I have been walking daily since I found this site, changed my eating habit, and started using an app on my ipod called Striive/Walkathon Since July of last year I went from 287 down to 245! I am indeed thrilled by this ;-; It feels awesome guys! As soon as I can get some of my old pics and take a new one I will gladly post my progress

Thanks Guzzi! I love the quotes by the way.

Indeed!

I constantly hear "Why do you want to lose weight? Everyone in our family is big" And it is so annoying and a bit of a let down. I mean, while it is true, I don't see why I have to justify wanting to lose weight and be healthy

I finally convinced myself I can lose weight guys! I lost over 40 pounds after a bad car accident last year. Doctors couldn't figure out why. Nothing is wrong, I just started dropping the pounds. And I've always wanted to be healthy (and smaller of course). But I was afraid to actually exercise and to start living healthy. I dunno why, but it literally used to terrify me. But after joining nerd fitness and reading about everyone's progress, and just SEEING how supportive everyone is. It made me realize I don't have to be afraid of it anymore. As lame as that may sound-but hey, the only way to get over fear is to face it right? So to me, this is a small milestone completed Which was just getting to believe in myself and that I can do this. It'll be hard but that will make it worth it in the end right?

Has anyone found one they really liked? I found a few on amazon.com relatively cheap. But I have never used one before.

You can do it!

Okay guys honestly I have barely worked out since high school, and it was only for one year (via gym class) before I dropped out of school. Soooo I really need some help getting a basic work out laid out that I could do three times a week. I can't afford to go to the gym yet and I don't have any equipment. But I know there are things I can do (running, push ups ect.) Can y'all help me put together a basic work out? It would be greatly appreciated! I'm ready to try this, but am completely lost lol I'm hoping to get something put together to help me burn the body fat. I have a very high BMI (Haven't checked it recently, but its up there) And working with that is going to be my hardest challenge. I know I can do it though

That is awesome! Congratulations and keep it up!

Linkovicha- Welcome to you too And I am a bit nervous about trying it since it is completely new to me. Istrix- I would love some recipes if you wouldn't mind sharing Autumn-Welcome! I hope you like it here Nightside- Yea that is going to be the hardest part for me I am used to having a lot of sugar especially from soda and candy bars. So this will be interesting for sure

And so far I am loving this site! Hello everyone! I'm Foxxie, and as I put in my about me, I am officially starting the Paleo diet for the first time and am looking to continue my weight loss success as well as meet new friends How are y'all?
