  • Currently in college full time with a part time job. Early morning workouts or whenever you can for at least an hour are a must. Meal prepping is also great for throughout the week. Always have frozen veggies and microwaveable rice. Tuna and chicken are easy sources of low fat proteins. Snacks like fruits and rice cakes…
  • Also an open diary!
  • Stairmaster for cardio is the best! Gets your whole body working. High incline walks are also great for cardio. Deadlifts, Squats, lateral pull downs, chest press, cable rows, hyper extensions, lunges... all those are great exercises.
  • An ankle wrap could possibly help, icing it and foam Rolling also may do the job. Try that maybe for a week if not go see a doctor.
  • Nuts are delicious snacks but very high in fat. Almonds are the best for dieting. When deciding to eat nuts watch how much you eat and the amount of fat you had in a day. Stick to non candy trail mixes if you're more into that.
  • Iso100 super low in carbs and fats. I'm currently using Muscle gauge and it's the best protein powder I've ever had. 25 g of protein 0 carbs and 0 fat and the vanilla Carmel is delicious.
  • For me watching fitness vlogs and videos on YouTube is what got me excited and motivated again. I saw those bodybuilders and fitness gurus so passionate about health that it only pushed me harder. Also I honestly don't think about going to the gym now. I know when my gym notification comes on I have to get ready and go…
  • Running is actually bad for the knees. Stretching, icing after workouts and foam rolling can really help you out with the pain.
  • There are many organic and vegan protein shakes try going to Costco, GNC and any supplement store. For snacks fresh fruit, vegetable, peanut butter or any nut butter, popcorn is very low in carb for the serving size (no or light butter)
  • You may be lactose intolerant or need to go gluten free. Having stomach pain after eating carbs is a common occurrence when allergic to gluten. Try seeing and testing your body out. For breakfast have a glass of milk or the babybell cheese and then at another hour or day have a carb dense meal and see how you feel. Good…
  • Gum and Water! I completely understand. I always get the urge to snack when I'm working and if you look in my office drawer and purse you will find water bottles, gum wrappers and packs. It's just a mental thing to be chewing I guess so the gum helps and then the water I guess fills me up. Also a few healthy vegetables…
  • For your height I think 125 might be too low. Don't be too hard on yourself bc stress can only do so much too your body and push you more into binging. 1200 calories seems a little low just make sure your protein intake is high compared to carbs and fats. Good luck to both of you on your journey. Food isn't the enemy just…
  • Sit ups are more for muscle strengthening in the stomach and ab area. To burn more calories you should be on your feet, pedaling or performing whole body movements. (Cardio).

  • http://www.muscleandfitness.com/muscle-fitness-hers/hers-workouts/transformation-workout-plan?page=4 Although I don't follow this link to a T this has truly helped me know what I'm doing for the day.
  • Abs are 110% made in the kitchen so be aware of what you are putting in your body. Also if you're just doing insanity you may want to incorporate weights and muscle strengthening exercises. Buy a set of dumb bells and do lunges across the house, squats are great, bicep curls, curl squat press all of these exercise with…

  • I do not pay attention to what myfitnesspal has set for me. I go on macronutientcalculator.com enter my weight, height and goals and it lets me know how many calories I should be taking in and how much protein carbs and fats. I am always more focused on staying within my caloric goal but hitting my macronutrients (aka…
  • If you swipe toward the left you can delete weight and that will change your start date and weight. You may also want to look into the top right corner with the dates. That's what helped for me. :)
