It supposedly keeps you from feeling hungry but then you aren't learning how your body naturally wants to feed itself. I tried it some time ago (years) and it did absolutely nothing for me (didn't work).<br />#2 - I've stated how much I want to lose but it doesn't seem to matter. I never seem to make it to what I post. So now I'm trying to be more realistic and posting what I think I can do, not so much what I wish I could do.<br />#3 - I think other muscles get sore first because they are weaker and are supporting muscles for some of the major ones you are training. Someone once told me that after you start weight training, you should walk/run on a treadmill for 10 minutes really really hard to get your blood really flushing through your body. The lactic acid doesn't settle so much and you will be less sore. AND drink lots and lots of water.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03844191762138935136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6113125483633875827.post-63372085183209076222010-01-15T08:00:38.616-05:002010-01-15T08:00:38.616-05:00I've never tried hoodia, I didn't set my g...I've never tried hoodia, I didn't set my goal weight ahead of time, and I don't know why different muscles hurt than you might expect. I probably shouldn't have even commented - I am no help at all. :-)South Beach Stevehttp://www.logmyloss.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6113125483633875827.post-62622423473663455672010-01-14T23:57:48.535-05:002010-01-14T23:57:48.535-05:00Hi Sandy;) I have heard about Hoodia and can't...Hi Sandy;) I have heard about Hoodia and can't remember what!(Lol!) Is it expensive? If so, just follow your original regime without the supplement for now. You can look to this toward the middle of the year, depending on where you are with your goal. This is merely a suggestion - do what you feel comfortable doing. Secondly I APPLAUD you for voicing your goals. Yes, say it out loud (to yourself and those you can trust) I ran a diet club for many years and still follow those principles. What I told my members was to break the goal weight down into smaller amounts ie 100 / 12 months = 8.3 pounds a month. Amazing hey? This is a do-able amount to lose. One month you may lose 10-12 pounds especially in the beginning. Others may be 8 pounds. Every little bit will count. Just keep on keeping on, You are such an organized lady, and I commend you for caring for your health and well-being in this way. As to the different muscles hurting - I don't know. Does your trainer know? I'm routing for you, my friend. Go for it! Bless you.

I ...I really didn't have a preset goal weight. I didn't announce it to anyone. It's been a gradual process. I'm maintaining a 75 pound weight loss for ten years. I finished the hundred pounds about 4 years ago and dropped another twenty pounds. I've since picked about 15 of that back up since I quit running distances. If I remember correctly, I wanted to be a size 12. I just wanted to go into any store, any where, and be able to find clothes that fit. I don't think I announced any goal to anyone.Roxiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01440676304336222503noreply@blogger.com
