However my fiance is freaking out a little. Shes very attractive so im not sure why but i guess its her right as the bride to…

I feel the same way but there is always the feeling that i could be doing more. Ive made big progress in the last 50 days. Im at the point im getting abs and i want to do everything i can to get em out.

I have never walked a mile. I always sprint. What i do know is that once you are running faster than an 9 min mile you do not burn more calories which seems dumb to me but does seem to be the case. So running a 9min mile and a 7 min mile for me both burn about 130cal.

Been said a lot here and i dont wanna feel left out so i will say again. Treat your abs like every other muscle. Weight makes muscles bigger. Im working on this myself right now. I got leaner and leaner and as i did i noticed my abs were not the big bricks of muscle i wanted. A flat stomach is nice but i want 3d abs. So im…

Yes! Totally! Like you and many others here i earn my off days but that doesnt mean my ocd brain doesnt make me feel like i could be doing something to further my fitness when in reality resting IS furthering my fitness. Its the drive and mental focus of a goal oriented person that does this. You know that you need rest to…

People hold weight in different places. Bloating is a possibility. I notice if i eat nasty on the weekends i get some double chin bloat that goes away in a day or so. If it is fat than the answer is the same as if you asked how to get rid of belly or thigh fat. You have to lower your body fat. Cant spot reduce anywhere…

My aikido class was very active. I would think it would burn up to 500 per class if its active. When my class was over i was WIPED.

Simply put if you are a true beginer who doesnt eat well or workout adding ANY exercise and diet will work well to start. I would agree that weights and cardio together are the right path but whatever you choose ease into it. Far too many beginers hit it to hard and get sore or just burn out and quit. Start slow and let…

Im male so a lot of this wouldnt apply exactly but im replying because i too and becoming a little obcessive about my waist. Like you i have trimmed down enough that my waist has completely changed shape. I have never had abs and i have decided i must have them! I too will suffer the fate of genetics as far as the shape of…

I think i look awesome in the mirror but when im not looking in the mirror i feel i look Like i did before. Still getting used to it i guess.

Its easy to get stuck. Last week i looked in the mirror and was so pleased that i thought maybe i should quit. It only took a few minutes to get my head right. Stay focused. You have this.

My fiance has lupus and is upset that she has gained some prednisone weight. Shes asking her dr what kind of workouts she can do that wont throw her into a flare. I wish you luck.

Its easy to get soft when you stop competing. Happens a lot faster than you would think too. I have always lifted and felt like i was in pretty good shape but last spring i was talked into a body challange against my coworkers. I admit i got carried away with it but not only did i destroy those lazy dicks but i dropped…

The last bit is always the most annoying. You look fit. Keep it up.

Im a member at pf and have been running on the treadmill (7.54 min mile )and they havent said anything to me.

A strong core is ALWAYS a good thing. Visable abs are all about body fat % and to a lesser degree the size of your ab muscles. So work your core now for health and body stability and that will translate to bigger better 6 pack later when you have dropped the body fat.

I deadlift on a smith. Im aware that free weights are superior but at my gym the smith is the only option. I still get benefits from the smith even if they are less than i would get from freeweights. I also do my hevier benching on the smith because i workout alone and have no spot. I am in the gym to workout and build…

I know a girl who did her jawline to get rid of a small double chin. It worked well. She has a strong jaw now and it looks natural..

I went to visit my sister and a friend of hers that was there was staring at me. I finally asked if i had something on my shirt and she said " your chest is weird. Why is is square? Why does it stick out? I explained to her that was the shape of my body and she said it was weird. I looked at her husbands saggy man boobs…

I have always been really attracted to girls with crazy hair and eye makeup. Many of my girlfriends have had bright red, blue, or green hair and all had extravagant eye makeup. My fiance has purple hair. Odly enough a lot of foundation make up or blush is a total turn off. Hate blush! Smart girls are very attractive too my…

Hey man im older than 25 but im on a similar journey. I have always worked out and have good over all shape and muscularity.when people see me in clothes they assume im ripped which makes me feel worse about my gut. My goal is to lean out my midsection and eventually have abs. I have dropped about 4.5lbs in the last few…
-
Im just trying to lean out. Im about 10lbs from abs and although its very vain thats my goal. I have always been in shape because i enjoy working out but have never been lean enough to look really fit. Would be great to have people to discuss workouts and diets with
-
Hey man. You and i are probably on similar journeys. Im not fat. I have worked out long enough that i have a nice muscular base but have never been lean enough to really feel fit. Im in the journy for abs. I can see the basic shape now but need to lose about 10lbs to have abs. Would be nice to have someone to talk about…

I have a rolling schedule thats all over the place. 3 days a week i get up at 5am to gonto the gym before work. I hate it hut i also hate the gym at 6pm. So many people and they are all right where im trying to work out. Easier to force myself up before the sun.
-
I am pretty hard on myself. Probably harder than i should be but i look at this diet as a contest. Every day i strive to beat all the other people. For the most part that works and i am slowly leaning out.
