  • You're symptoms sound like mine. I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's (autoimmune disease) and now being treated with Synthroid. Don't get discouraged, there is hope. I managed to lose 20lbs. I have to say, I was never overweight. It took a strict diet and working out routine. After only 10months after having my 2nd baby I was…
  • Maybe I need to rephrase that... Cardio at least 30mins. Or preferably HIIT!
  • You need to keep your protein intake up and cut carbs (depending on each individual) and keep fats low. Reduce calorie intake. Do lower weights lifting weights and do higher reps. And cardio at least 45mins 6x per week, maybe even 2x a day
  • Everyone started one day! Don't get discouraged. Many of the gym goers mind their own business. I suggest you get a trainer for the beginning to show you how to use the gym equipment and also how to properly do some exercises. Good luck
  • I order to build muscle and have that toned lean look you need to start with "bulking". You have to eat in a surplus but make sure you're eating clean (protein, good carbs and your fiber). Cut out unhealthy fats and sugars. Lift heavy to build muscle. Once you achieved your goal in building muscles, you need to cut. You…
  • Only squats will not get you a nice round butt. You need to add more leg workouts ( lunges, squats, leg press, glute kickbacks ,etc) to hit all glute muscles. Some days you can lift heavy and some other days I would do plyos, or lighter weights with higher reps. To gain muscle you have to eat in a surplus. Once you are…
  • I do fasted cardio but personally not eating and lifting resulted in a bad workout for me. I felt too weak to lift in my full potential. I usually lift after meal 4
  • You can do weightlifting every day. Train different body parts each day to let the body part you worked out yesterday recover
  • Why did your calorie intake increase? You probably gained weight and lost inches due to being more active... did you do weight training? You will only see drop in weight if you keep being active but eat in a calorie deficit,i.e. Keep your calorie intake at 1265 or if necessary adjust it. You can't lose weight if you eat…
  • If you want to build muscle do not reduce your calorie intake. Eat 6 meals a day. Lots of protein, carbs. Do heavy weights and include cardio 3x per week. Once you bulked up you can reduce your carb intake and reduce weights and higher reps for weightlifting and up your cardio
  • Weighted squats, lunges, leg press, etc. lifting heavy will build muscle, not only in your butt! Make sure you hit all parts of the glute muscles. Vary your workouts one day heavy, next time include some plyos and then lower weights with higher rep.
  • Protein, carbs, creatine and bcaa!!!
  • You have to workout and eat clean in order to see abs. Calorie deficit to lose fat and lifting to build muscle as well. Only cardio alone won't make you build muscle. My advice: 5-6 meals a day, lifting weights and any form of cardio at least 30+mins preferably HIIT.
  • Hello there. I do have Hashimotos and I totally understand what you are talking about. But don't get discouraged,there is definitely a way for you to lose weight. But you do have to put work in. I was able to drop 20 pounds and did a competition, meaning I was able to see my abs. Eat clean and workout!!! You can do it!
