1. With your shoulder, until it is strong again, use little to no weight and do at least 20-25 reps per excercise (shoulder presses, rear delt flys, etc) Also, using a resistance band and doing front and lateral raises, as well as rotator cuff excercises will help speed your recovery. Always start slow, you can increase or decrease weight as needed. I'm not exactly sure what kind of shoulder injury you have though, if you have a compresssed disc or nerve STAY AWAY from lateral raises. Shoulder presses are really your best bet, with a straight bar or resistance bands or LIGHT dumbbells.

2. Personally, I think free weights are better because you will equally train your muscles. With machines, say a leg extension machine, one leg may be stronger and will do more of the work, leaving your muscles trained unevenly.

3. Cardio is your best bet to lose weight at this point. Do it after weight training, but make sure you warm up for at least 6-8 minutes before starting your workout routine. Also, since you are trying to burn fat and not bulk up, make sure you do at least 15-25 reps per excercise, and 2-3 sets of each excercise per muscle group with a 30-60 second max rest between sets. This will keep your heart rate elevated and thus burn more fat. Also, another good way to spike your heart rate is after doing a few sets, hop on an elliptical trainer or a bike for 3 minutes during your workout, and then go back to lifting. At this point in time you want to keep your heart rate around 128, which is 70% of your max HR. (Best to burn fat at) As your ability and endurance increase you can take it up to 80%, which is 147. But I wouldn't do that for awhile until everything becomes too easy- then you increase weights, HR, cardio, etc. Also, make sure you get at least 20-30 minutes of cardio 3 times a week. That is the bare minimum.

Hope this helps If you have any more questions feel free to ask, I'm happy to help you

thanks sweetie, you're the best

looking for a new job does suck! i do have a friend that wants me to fill out an ap for her place of work. its like 40 minutes away .
a friend of mine just quit a bartenders job and she was making something like $2.50 an hour plus tips.
the personal trainers are a dime a dozen and you just got to develop your niche. make up business cards advertising that u will come to thier home and train them until u develop a following then do it full time.
find something that u feel passionate about and go out and do it.

hi cool kitty, what is your fav. vodka these days?

How did my conversation end up in ur paste button hmmmmm.

Those shoes sound hot. Everyone's gonna want them.

quit my job at fitworks today. i couldnt take the backstabbing and nay sayers anymore!
whats up with u??

Woohoo, whiskey and cussing.

"...and they call it puppy love..."

Crazy how fun this love shit can be, isn't it?

what's the difference between me and you? besides the fact that we've both lived in the desert.

i want to tell him how i feel, but i don't think it will help. i mean, there is nothing either of us can do about the distance thing other than me driving out there a few more times a week, or moving in with him or closer to him. i feel like it's too soon to bring that up, and i don't want to scare him away.
i already feel like i'm pushing him away when i act like this. i feel like if i tell him hey i love you and can't take seeing you only once a week it's not going to help anything. i really don't know what to do or say.

thank you for kind words though, i really appreciate it. i don't really have anyone i can talk to about this. my sister was like well, just tell him, but it's not that easy you know?

ok.. if u want to talk to me feel free i sent u a *contact* email thru sg

HOLY SHIT!
Yeah you need that ice cream...
"and i thought i was fed up with my "friends"..."
Bamf!

my jobs still shitty. i got to go to fuckin training all next week to sell memberships THIER WAY. i've been in one of my fucking moods since i got transfered (still am). i'm fucking tired of grabbing my ankles in life you know. i need a "friends with benefits" type thing to realease some stress and maybe put me in a fucking better mood. fucking school and the job takes out my fucking social life.
notice how i used your favorite word all in the right places
