*Cardio, my number 1 priority is making sure my heart is in tip top shape.
*Gaining muscle mass- I weigh about 122 lbs, I wouldn't mind weighing in at 135 lbs if it was muscle and placed in the right places
* Toning...I want to reduce these humungous boobies (I think that hurt his feelings/ the look on his face was priceless a girl that wants to gain weight and lose boobs lol) abs of course, thighs, back, arms etc.
I want to be the bomb diggity basically...he asked me how serious I was about committing to this goal on a scale of 1-10 and I said a 15! Shoot I danced through out high-school and I was on the marching band I can take it. NOT I am in PAIN, and we only did a 30 minute work out. Squats, lunges, I don't even know all the technical names I just know that my body was all extra shaky and I couldn't even bring myself to drive at 70 mph cars were passing me. I'm a speeder I don't do below 70 on a highway. Than I couldn't bring myself to take my things out of the car, going up the stairs was painful I felt like I was learning to walk again. What happens if I choose him as my trainer?? AHHHH but the sick thing about it is, I can't WAIT to go back. lolI'll try to update monthly. Pray for me y'all!!!

Oh, how I wish I could see 100 anything - pounds...LOL
I'm proud of you! You have a lot of heart. I went to a trainer, felt like crap; shaking and could barely move when I left and have not looked back. I did go back the following week (after the soreness wore off)and joined the gym. The trainer is still trying to get me to sign up for sessions. I told him that I will NEVER pay someone to make me feel like that.
Best of luck. I'm sure you will see dramatic changess.
Nihuru-bones sticking out are not sexy lol the key is being a healthy weight and looking like 100 something and from looking on your blog that you do! I look 63 pounds with two huge fun bags and I can't climb a set of stairs with out huffing and puffing so I'll trade you any day!!
Thank you, now I can't let you down because I sure was thinking about chickening out when I woke up this morning with the same aches :(. I had the shakes too, like a bad automobile lol. I haven't been back yet because of the weather but I figure for the money I'm paying I better go to the gym atleast 5 times a week to get my moneys worth. I need the trainer for my first month at least that way I won't hurt myself and I can get a feel for what I'm doing but I haven't signed up yet. I had a flirty trainer so I'm going to see how many free sessions I can get before I have to fork any more money to the gym lol.
Dramatic changes are what I'm looking for (as long as you can still tell I'm a female lol)thank you!
I need some dramatic changes. I've slacked off on exercising and was sooo close to achieving my desired look. Now it's back to square one. Staying motivated is most important when it comes to working out. It's so easy to say," I've got laundry" "I'm so tired from work", and I've used those way too many times ! Now it's back to poppin and lockin !
@diva,
LOL...bones aren't bad. My shoulder blades used to stick out so far that my brother would grab them. I didn't like them for that reason but looking back, I miss them. My necklaces hung perfectly and I loved being able to go bra-less (boy do I miss that)
My height allows me to look slimmer than I actually am - thank goodness but my feet and my legs say "what?" every time I want to go that extra mile. LOL
I said the same thing about my fees and I still don't go like I should but I am getting better. My gym has cable tv on most of the machines and a movie theater that always plays the latest movies but I just can't get motivated sometimes. If I get there, I'm good. If I can get there to catch a episode of Law and Order, I'm even better.
Don't feel like you have to allow yourself to be tortured on my account, I know how it feels.
We could check in with each other everyday and update on our work outs...that would motivate me...I think; even if we just say we worked out.
Happily are you in?
happilynappily- I'll motivate you if you motivate me join nihuru and I! The more people you have supporting you the better because I know when I see my 30 yr old sister who is 5'2 and weighs 112 lbs just laying around I want to join her and say forget the gym lol. even today I'm having a mental battle with myself Let's get those dramatic changes together! lol
nihuru- you're a hotmess lol shoulder blades should not be that prominent! I'm sitting here trying to poke my bones out to see how it must of looked lol. I will agree the collar bone does enhance the neckline but other than that you only want prominent cheekbones and ankles, all other bones need meat on them. LOL I haven't been able to go braless in public since I was 9 y/o oh the joy you must have experienced :) But yes I'm SO down with checking up on each other, I'm inviting happilynappily to do the same and I know brownbuttafly is on fitness quest as well so we can all help motivate each other. I won't be able to get to the gym today but I'm getting a yoga mat on my way home from school and some free weights turning on the fitness channel and doing whatever they do!

I was in a meeting for 8 hours today and the whole time I was thinking about going to the gym. Got home to change clothes and made the mistake of picking up my lap top. I'm still sitting...have made a million excuses not to go...I know its crowded, the traffic is heavy etc...but I am going to go at about 7:00pm. I'M MOTIVATED NOW. I've got to bust this 200+ pounds that I have had for the last 10 years...not an ounce over or under in 10 whole years. I'll update when I get back home.
I've not been able to go braless in public since I had my boys...they sure change your body. I bounced right back after the girls.
I guess I should go dig my free weights out of the garage and sit them beside my bed so I can see them every morning. I actually have an exercise video called Walk Fit that is wonderful. I was losing mega inches instantly, but it got boring doing it by myself...maybe I'll do that tonight with my weights and then go to the gym in the morning before I go to work.....Yeah, I think I shall.
I need to work my legs anyway; I'm having a procedure on one of them next week that could lead to another surgery and I need to be in top shape to bounce back during physical therapy...which I hate.
Oooohh...ooohh..Can I join? I don't go to a gym but I have been working out daily doing cardio and strength training and can definitely use the motivation... What program/site are you guys using?
122 lbs....? Those were the days!! My goal is actually 125lbs and I've got a ways to go....I'm 5'3.
I know exactly how you felt with the Personal Trainer. When I was still going to the gym, I got a sample of a 1hr (of which I could only do 45mins) workout with a trainer... I was sore for atleast a week...Now, if I could have afforded it, I would have gone to her 3 times a week. Cause she worked me out so well.
As far as losing the boobs...I understand that one too. When I gain weight it goes to my stomach and boobs and it seems they never decrease when I lose weight.
Enjoy your time with your trainer and based on how he's working you out, you will see results within a month or less....
@MeikMeika,
I'd be honored to have you join us. I personally am not using a program or anything. I go to the Urban Active (formerly Gold's Gym).
My Consultant told me she is a member of the 50 million pound challenge. I am going to check it out later this evening.
Should we all post our weights and measurements and goals.
Alright Ladies,
I've signed up on the 50 Million Pound Weight Loss Challenge (Dr. Ian Smith). Go to my blog and click on the link to sign up and join my team. The team name is Nihuru's Natural Knots and Locks.
It's a wonderful site and right now, I think the "team" ranks at the bottom (0 weight loss) which is number 900 and something. LOL
I went to the gym this morning; worked the back of my arms, lower back, pectoral muscles, hips and swam for 40 minutes. I came home and weed whacked my yard (lawnmower won't start) and now I am about to clean my house.
I better have loss something after today LOL.
I've back peddled.
Meikmeika- My stomach hasn't looked the same since 2005 after gaining that freshman 15, I had my desired weight of 135lbs but it was in fat and not muscle. I have boobs for days and that's about it, my face rounds out, boobs plump up and the stomach gets a hangover.
Nihuru- You're doing good I wish I could be as motivated :( It's just my procrastinating nature I'm telling you! Man how I wish I could swim, I can't take lessons until my consultant okays it.
Here's the story, I tried to go to the gym on Tuesday even though I was sore but Ike rained us out and I thought I was going to die driving to the neighboring town, so I said I'll go Wednesday. That didn't happen because my family decided they had things I needed to do for them. Thursday I had class until 8:30 PM so after being in class all day I went home. Friday there was cake RED VELVET cake at work so I chowed down and ended up working the entire day. Saturday I finally was able to purchase my new yoga mat and weights but I never took them out of the trunk and today I'm finally going once I get off of work :( I'm going to do better, I'm disappointed in myself. I have no excuse it's a one minute drive from work so on my break I'm going to marshalls to get a sports bra (only have one in my gym back and the girls definitely need two!)and as soon as I'm clocked out it's gym time.
I'm going to sign up for the challenge but I may hurt you guys seeing as I want to gain weight albeit muscle mass
don't give up or in pain is the game
