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 -
Funny, you took it as an insult. she took it as a compliment. How are the orange peels?

I asked because Sara and I share the same love for ice cream and I don't mind sharing with her.

I don't think the poster actually realizes that it is a Ben & Jerry's flavor ice cream!0 -

What is up with you and orange peels?
Oh, and while it was very clearly an insult, I *chose* to take it as a complement, so don't try to play cute..it isn't working.0 -
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 -

What is up with you and orange peels?
She brings it up to poke fun at me because with the cultures I grew up with, dried orange peels are not uncommon to eat0 -
Why has this board led to sex-bashing? I just want my back fat gone.
Holy balls...or tits...
you made it gender oriented when you scoffed at a male offering useful tips. my trainers have always been male and physical therapists as well all of them did amazing things with little to work with. a person's gender does not negate what's in his mind. come on now.0 -

I have to say, this is the most insightful post you've made all night! It wasn't that hard, was it?!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 -
I don't know, was it? It seems you made an identical post a few posts up. Was it hard? You go first.

No, that wasn't the OP. That was Summer0 -

Western cultures normally eat citrus peel too it's just in things- like anything lemon or lime flavored, or marmalade. Maybe she doesn't realize?0 -

Kinda makes someone look deranged when they make these references out of context.0 -
pick up a Psychology Today Magazine or Google this: "Whatever we don't own about ourselves we project onto other people. We see only that which we are".

you do know I wasn't the one who brought up males/females being diferent, right? You quoted me this part...but I didn't start the gender bashing.0 -

You like quoting that don't you.
At the risk of repeating myself...ironic post is ironic...bit of a recurring theme going on here.
Oh, and still waiting.0 -

Are you saying I made a post where I edited out my entire inane, nonsensical comment ,so as not to embarrass my crazy *kitten* further? Please, take me to this mythical thread which contains all of these posts which NO ONE ELSE is reading besides you. Does it exist in the 4th dimension? Carol-anne, is that you?0 -

FTR: It was not ^^this poster (the OP) who made the ridiculous sexist comments.0 -
Here's previous client of mine who used to run 7 miles a day. I had her back it down to 3 miles 3 times a week and put her on a strength training program (she never lifted before).

Did you just pull the "I know you are but what am I?" "I'm rubber you're glue" card?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.

It IS ineffective, because you're not getting the results you want. That's EXACTLY why this thread exists.
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 -
*Some* people don't know what body re-composition is.
