Hey myfitness family!!! I recently join due to a girlfriend advising me about the site. So far I luv it, very useful tool! Does any ladies on here struggle with what I call " bat man wings (Arms)" and belly fat! I'm not a cooker and use to mostly eat fast foods. But I have tone down on the fast food and picked up "Turbo Jamz and Hip Hop Abs" I absolutely love both workout taps, better than tha gym. Lol!! I look forward to meeting new people whom can help me stay on track. Have a good one fam!!!

    Hey there! You sound like (old) me. I never had huge arms but I have saddle bags and I used to eat like crap. The only thing that worked for me was cold turkey. That whole "once a week" thing did NOT work for me. It always became twice a week, then three.... etc etc.

    I absolutely have to log my calories as well. I cannot "free form" things. I used to be starving all the time until I started making better decisions. So yeah, you can have a cheeseburger and a pretzel stick all day, or you can have TONS of great foods. It's about planning.

    Planning is essential too. I generally spend a few minutes before bed planning out my 3 meals for the morning.

    It takes time, but it's worth it! Feel free to friend me!

    Hello! It's great to see new people on here. My sister got me started on it. I have the arm thing going and some belly stuff too. But this site has helped me so much! I know how much I can eat everyday and I never have to starve myself. It's wonderful. I really hope you get something out of this site and reach your goals. :)

    I wish you the best of luck. :)
