    I really STINK at Meso 2 Leg Workouts

    Oh, I'm SO glad I'm not alone - but it seems that everyone can pretty much finish and I just pooped out. I did finish the W1 Leg workout, so maybe I just couldn't "bring it" today - I do usually workout first thing in the morning, but had some stuff to do this morning and got my workout in...

    I really STINK at Meso 2 Leg Workouts

    OMG - I just did W2 Legs for Meso 2... I couldn't even make it through the 3rd round of trisets... it was just too much for me. I feel like such a failure ... I know I worked my legs hard - as I sit here drinking my protein shake I can feel the quivering and the twitching. My legs have always...

    My boyfriend needs help losing weight...suggestions?

    Funny - that's what I decided to do with him... This first week I asked him to cut out his cake/pie/cookies, etc. at night after dinner. He says he has so far so that is good.... and he's already thinking healthier about what he eats...Thanks everyone.

    Hit a Plateau?

    Thanks for the info and the link. I tend to do all interval training when doing cardio and I'm stuck at trying to lose the last 5 lbs. I will incorporate one steady-state training day and see how that works.

    LONG rant - Brother is getting a dog and he SHOULDN'T!!

    You're right - it's too late to stop him, since I just found out on Friday from mom that they PLANNED on getting a dog - then I found out this morning on his Facebook page that he GOT the dog...so all I can do is warn him. There are many forms of abuse and while Braden wasn't physically abused...

    LONG rant - Brother is getting a dog and he SHOULDN'T!!

    Hi everyone - just needed to vent. My brother and his family (wife and two kids) are adopting a cane corso mastiff. I just looked this dog up on the "net" ... NOT a good dog for them. Actually, NO dog is good for them as they are so self-centered and don't have what it takes to care for a...

    favorite and least favorite

    I, too, have a love/hate relationship with legs. I love the results, but hate the workouts. Favorite used to be shoulders, because that was always my best bodypart, but since shoulder surgery I struggle with it. Bis and tris would be my favorite. The BURN I get when I work them hard...

    My boyfriend needs help losing weight...suggestions?

    I'm going to help him with a workout routine - but he works out at the gym and I work out at home - he isn't comfortable with free weights because of some injuries so he has some limitations, but I will go with him for a week or two and show him some stuff. He has an iPhone - can you tell me...

    My boyfriend needs help losing weight...suggestions?

    So, my boyfriend has put on about 40-50 pounds after being sick with a blood-borne arthritic condition (reactive arthritis). He is finally ready to clean up his diet and start exercising and I want to help him. Any suggestions from anyone out there as to where he should turn? Clean eating is...

    Fat burner

    So-called fat burners can be dangerous as they are not regulated by the FDA - look how long Hydroxycut was out with ephedra, then recalled, they had to change the formula, and then recalled again... In my bodybuilding days, I used an amino acid stack that was wonderful for leaning me out...

    Meso 2 Legs - OUCHIE!

    Maybe my HR monitor is off, although it hasn't been THAT off before ... or maybe I'm just cardiovascularly-challenged because it felt harder than any of the Meso 1 leg workouts... or maybe it was the combo of high reps with heavier weight... I am glad to know that I'm not the only one whose...

    What makes Cathe, well...Cathe??

    She is GENUINE ... I feel like she is right there with me working out, pushing me to work harder.

    Meso 2 Legs - OUCHIE!

    Hi all. Did my first M2 leg workout yesterday ... going into it, I knew it wasn't going to be "a walk in the park", but man oh man, by the end I was shouting some really mean things at Cathe. The first set of trisets were okay - weights were dead on, completed all 30 reps. Halfway through the...

    STS

    Everyone is different with what they use for weights... Which is the beautiful thing about testing for 1RM - I range from 7.5 lbs for side lateral raises (shoulder surgery less than a year ago, so still not up to par on those) to 40 lb. dumbbells for Meso 2 legs (doing first Meso 2 leg workout...

    Reformed Cat Hater

    I just spent 3 hours on my couch - 1.5 of which I had to pee so bad, but Miss Princess just would not budge. Who is in charge here? Not ME!!

    Advice for a potentially new cat owner

    Think long and hard... My biggest piece of advice is to think long and hard about getting a cat if you have never had one. And talk to other cat owners (like you are doing on the boards)... While cats are "easier" than dogs when it comes to the amount of hands-on care, they are still creatures...
