I work in Atlanta but I live in Cobb :)

Jefit Pro is my favorite. Welcome back!

Find a lifting program. There are many out there, like Stronglifts 5x5 and New Rules of Lifting for Women. I use an app called Jefit Pro that has hundreds of routines packed with pictures and videos to assist with proper form and it has a rest timer. If you want to start at home with resistance training, try You Are Your…

Bingo.

Let me rephrase the question: Do you think it's inappropriate for a woman to wear makeup? Would you allow a woman to walk in public with pink lip gloss or is that asking for a sexual predator to abduct them? Do you think all women that wear makeup are insecure and self conscious? Something rubs me the wrong way about the…

Chocolate, cookies, and chips!

Why is the rum always gone?

Just eat whatever you like, but less of it in a calorie deficit and you will lose weight.

Ohhh no. I live in Atlanta and I refuse to run in the dead heat of day. I run in the early AM as the sun is rising or in the late afternoon as the sun is descending. I can't pile heat exhaustion on top of my running. Are there places/trails with lots of shade? Bring water!

Agree. http://iifym.com/iifym-calculator/ Invest in a food scale. Weigh your solid food and measure any liquids with spoons/cups. There are a million different exercises you can do at home. You Are Your Own Gym is an awesome at-home strength training program that requires no equipment but sturdy tables, chairs and doors.…

I eat 1850 calories at 5'6" and 194 pounds, but I don't eat calories back. That's only because I've accounted for my activity level. If you're not, eat at least half of the calorie burn allotment back from MFP. Or here's a good link to help see how much to eat without eating exercise calories back:…

Whatever you want, but less of it.

I like Pandora. Dance Party radio, Cardio Workout, and Dubstep are my faves.

Full fat dairy for satiety.

I like to go workout after work, so I usually chug a protein shake, adding a cheese stick or a small banana if I know it's a long session before I leave. It takes anywhere from an hour and a half to two hours to get home, so if I'm still hungry I'll go home and have a full dinner, rest, and then go to the gym. Dinner…

Why cut the things you like? You can eat what you want in moderation. Just make them fit into your calorie goals.

I just did the Glitter tour! It's so fun, you can do this!

Thank you!! :)

This is a month late and an excerpt from another post, but here's my story: Right here! I, too, had always wanted to be a runner. I started and stopped the C25K app numerous times. In December, I decided enough was enough. I needed to do it and stick to it. It wasn't easy... But it certainly wasn't impossible. I used the…

Right here! I, too, had always wanted to be a runner. I started and stopped the C25K app numerous times. In December, I decided enough was enough. I needed to do it and stick to it. It wasn't easy... But it certainly wasn't impossible. I used the C25K group here in MFP to get some tips. Halfway through, I signed up for The…

I have hella wide hips, but I can't remember a time my thighs didn't touch and rub. Anxiously awaiting the day I stop getting the chub rub!

Lifting leg day. Squats, lunges, leg press, deadlifts, calf raises, etc.

Lady lifter right here.

The scale is not always an indicator of fat loss. You lost inches. Congrats -- that's progress. If you aren't losing weight over a longer period of time, then you are not in a caloric deficit.

This. Just do it.

Moe's burrito bowl with chicken, black beans, Pico, onions, guac, and fresh jalapenos and a half side of tortilla chips. Because dinner.

Chicken in herb cream sauce with roast vegetable tian (sliced tomato, potato, squash and zucchini topped with Italian cheese). I feel like I did pretty well there.

Scrubs.

It's just a diet with an extreme deficit. I wouldn't do it... I'd be starving all the time.

Bravo, sir! Looking great!
