Wow! You're a genius.
YOu are something else. I had you pegged as a 24ish yr old by your dizzy/dramatic comments. I was shocked to see your age. OMG!
I guess you didn't see it. A man a few posts up asked you if you wanted some of his "Chunky Monkey". Scroll up.
Well gee, it is very nice to hear what, "you usually do". We all want to be like you. Shouldn't you be eating Chunky Monkey? I think someone called your name and it definitely wasn't me. I'm feeling a little stalked. Creeper!
It isn't MY job to provide research. I showed you where to find it. if you want it you'll seek it. So I can say to you the sky is falling and if I post a link to "Chicken Little" you'll believe it? Wow, that 's easy. So you want me to post links and research? That's all it takes huh?Anyone notice that our friend has neither provided any examples of these alleged sexist comment nor any studies to support her assertions re training/eating differently around our cycles?
Actually, it is. And yes, that would be nice thank you.
It's what I usually do.
What on earth are you talking about? I have no idea who you are outside this thread. And what does Chunky Monkey have to do with anything?
How was that pertinent to the information that has been requested that you have time and time again tried to dodge? And what are you talking about stalker and creeper...how does that fit into your little delusion?
Wow...when you can't find ways to back your argument you turn to insults.0 -

Don't listen to these men. Hire a FEMALE personal trainer and talk to her. Men don't understand a woman's body. It's not the same. Women's bodies are even designed to hold on to fat in preparation for childbirth. It doesn't know there isn't a famine around the corner. Women even have certain days of the month they should be buffing and certain days of the month they should be boosting. It's based on hormones. Your diet and your workouts should be based on that. How many men can explain that one?
1. Lose more weight.
2. Start strength training
3. If you have a back, chest, arms and shoulders, upper body strength training is probably a good idea.

So, what is the miracle it takes to make me lose weight since old-fashioned diet and exercise won't work? And don't tell me patience and dedication....I am about fed up after 13 months.
I find it amusing that you've been trying for 13 months and haven't had the success you want to see, but when people - men AND women - who obviously HAVE had success try to give you advice you insist that No, they're wrong and they don't know what they're talking about.
Good luck with that, coz 13 months or 13 years, it doesn't matter. The definition of insanity: Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. Disappointing, but I suppose not surprising given the posts.0 -

There is no way I am giving up half the cardio I am doing. I absolutely love it. I love running for miles with my thoughts and music blaring in my ears. I will try adding 2 days a week of strength training, because honestly...I think any muscle definition in women whether it is arms or stomach is too masculine for my taste.
Don't get me wrong, I want to tighten up...but I don't want biceps or a six pack. I like looking feminine, I just want to be healthier.
I think this is your problem. Doing a lot of cardio puts a lot of stress on your system and can change the way your body burns fat. Doing strength training is going to build muscle that will burn more fat than just cardio ever will. You're not going to bulk up, look "masculine" or get biceps or a six pack-- I wouldn't worry about that.
Building your overall muscle and targeting your back is going to 1) prevent back problems in the future 2) help define your back a bit and 3) help you "tone" up everywhere.
Try it out for a month or two and see what happens-- If you don't like the results and get too buff you can always just stop and let the hard work melt away...0 -

So, what is the miracle it takes to make me lose weight since old-fashioned diet and exercise won't work? And don't tell me patience and dedication....I am about fed up after 13 months.
Since you enjoyed my first post so much I'm back to offer you seconds.
If women can't lose weight, someone should inform all the women on my FL that they are special snowflakes. You're talking about old fashioned diet and exercise not working. I suspect your diet and exercise are both suboptimal. You've already said that that you've neglected strength training for over 60% of your body. If you're reading information that tells you that cardio cardio cardio if the solution to fat loss, any other training information you've gleaned from that source is also suspect.
I'd be happy to help you improve your training and diet, I really would...... but it seems my penis disqualifies me from further assistance. I guess you should keep keep listening to that woman that says it's impossible for women to lose fat. At least then, 6 months from now when you still haven't shown progress, you can blame your sex.
he's right. my friend workout out forever and mantained a vegetarian diet and had flab all over. she finally gave in to my suggestions she needs more protein around the same time she got a trainer who of course she told her complaints and he put her on weights. few months later tight all over chin,neck, arms and yes backfat. or backnonfat. the end. I'm a girl so you can beleive me. just do it. it works. you can come back and apologize to the people who jumped in to save you later.0 -

Welcome to the board after reading so little and assuming so much, did I really tell people they don't know what they are talking about? I replied to someone telling me to lose weight which I thought was ironic.
So after watching 2 videos people have posted and looking up products to buy online for strength training after suggestions, I MUST think they do not know anything.
You know what would make you feel better? If you lick my butth*le.
you know, i reached out to you and sent you a link with some good information. i'm glad to see that you are not going to follow my advice, because that means that there will be more space at the gym for a woman that DOES want to make changes in her life.0 -

Honestly there was never any gender bashing or rather any intent of it. I also commented that men and women were different and I explained my reasoning to back it up. A man told me I was full of crap on it and I said something like. He is not a woman, he doesn't understand what I am talking about. It really wasn't meant to mean that "men don't know what they are talking about, etc." I meant HE didn't understand what i was talking about. I said, "men" but I didn't mean EVERY man on the planet. I had a date with a man who knew more about hormonal timing than I did. He read about it on Bodybuilder.com I had a male personal trainer and he turned my body upside down and had me in the best shape of my life. Men do understand how to get a woman into shape, there is no question. The principals are the same. But there are few things which I feel make men and women different and I wanted to share that. Along the lines, things got twisted, words misread, etc, etc. Long story short, conversations are hard to interpret via the Internet most times.Why has this board led to sex-bashing? I just want my back fat gone.

It IS ineffective, because you're not getting the results you want. That's EXACTLY why this thread exists.1. Lose more weight.
2. Start strength training
3. If you have a back, chest, arms and shoulders, upper body strength training is probably a good idea.
Yeah, if losing weight was that simple maybe I wouldn't be posting my question in the first place? I eat right, exercise, and havent lost anything in months. I have been doing this for a year and am down only 15 pounds. The scale wont budge.
Thread Translation: I've been following a regimen that's proven to be ineffective. I will keep doing this ineffective program no matter how many people that have had success tell me that I should try something that has been proven to work. I'm asking for advice but what I really want is someone to tell me it's not my fault. Because I'm a woman. And women have it hard.
Oh...and I would not really call my regimen "ineffective" seeing how I now run marathons asswipe. Oh, and I said I lost 3 pants sizes. I am complaining about not melting fat off certain areas. God, how ineffective my workout must be. Let me cry because I am just a girl. That can probably out-run your *kitten*.
Totally agree. Don't be afraid of weights. Women will not lose femininity just but picking up weights, and there is just no magic cure to spot reduce or we'd all be doing it. Why not take the solid advice for a little while and see for yourself?0 -
