  • What if you sent him a text message that just said "I'm happy with how we are now but I was wondering if you ever thought about being more than friends?" That way he doesn't feel pressured to react right then.
  • I still have about 50-60 to lose. I'll buddy up with you :)
  • OH and diastasis recti is where your ab muscles separate during pregnancy. It's pretty common. It doesn't hurt so you don't know you have it until after the baby usually.
  • I just noticed the shape in the middle. If you bend over and see an obvious line down the middle of your belly you may have diastasis recti. I'm not going to post the article I look at for exercises because it's from a different weight loss website but I would google "exercises for diastasis recti" or "exercises for…
  • You may not get the same results you want but you'll get results. If it jiggles, chances are you can get rid of most of it. If it's just how your body structure is, then that's how it is. There's no loss in trying. Sending fitness vibes your way.
  • You get the most results in the first 30 min of your workout. After 45 min your body gets used to being at an elevated heart rate. If you like the spin class, take it. You're burning extra calories and that's awesome. But if you'd rather do yoga, your metabolism is already at a high from the first 30 min of your workout…
  • I think it's pretty funny. I work in a place that's mostly men. They're 10 year olds with a deep voice when it comes to being goofy. I also bet if the creeper got to a point that it was pushing it, she'd have an office full of men with their sleeves rolled up, her, and one really uncomfortable guy who just got jumped in…
  • I haven't been able to drink my water since I opened this topic. Every time I go to take a drink, someone makes me laugh.
  • Stealing this line!!!
  • Chocolate whey protein, 1 cup vanilla almond milk, ice, blend, YUMMO!
  • I'm not a certified trainer but I like to help friends that want to give weight loss a try. I'm finding that the women who are having the best results with a low calorie diet are also the ones who do weights 3 days a week and have 2 rest days from everything each week. I also know that as a female, our bodies like to hold…
  • I wish I was more of a professional on this because I don't go by my target zones. I know I would get better results if I stayed mostly in a fat burning zone but that's sometimes not hard enough for me. I can understand the frustration of wanting ot go harder.
  • Sweating removes toxins which also clears out pores and bacteria that normally spreads through touch. That's my best guess without googling.
  • It depends on your fitness level, the food you take in, and how your body responds to it. In general, the average person can easily lose a pound a week. Working at it and being disciplined about it, they can lose 2 pounds per week. Every now and then your body will throw in a curve ball and you won't lose any or you'll…
  • And as for exercises that pull fat from a certain area- I'm going to lay on some bad news. Your body is trained to do what's best for itself and not what's best for the mirror WHICH I HATE THAT ITS THAT WAY! But love it at the same time. It will pull fat from the area that needs the fat pulled first, no matter the exercise…
  • They might be talking about the fact that fat cells shrink, but don't really go away. I've heard arguments on both sides of the fence that say they go away after a long period of being shrunk or stay forever. But once the fat cell forms and divides, your body is trained to store fat there. But as you lose the weight and…
  • I prefer a HR monitor with a chest strap instead of a touch sensor. With the chest strap, it sees when I have a drop in heart rate. With touch, it only sees my HR at the times I touch it. The same goes for the machines at the gym. And if you're going by the calorie counter without a HR monitor attached to it, chances are…
  • I take fruit and nuts with me everywhere I go. If you're worried about extra protein, you can take a few slices of lunch meat in a container with a baggie of ice under it.
  • People tend to treat calories like an enemy when in reality its your body's needed energy source. If you want to lose the weight, cut the calories. If you want to lose the fat eat at least 1200 calories a day as a woman, eat the right foods, exercise, and don't push for more than 2 lbs of weight loss a week.
  • And you've changed that :) Something I had to come to terms with in the beginning was that I'm not a monster for loving food. Whether it's hormones or bad habits, there are tons of people out there who sit in the middle of a pile of wrappers wondering what the hell just happened. Don't be sad about it. Feel motivated that…
  • Ok at first I was trying to be nice but now I'm offended. I've tried everything for my migraines. Living with daily migraines is hell. I started shakeology and after the first two weeks my migraines were gone. That's not a placebo effect. I wasn't expecting it to take them away. And I wasn't expecting my cardiologist to…
  • I'm learning to tell people "While I love the fact that you're interested in my weight loss and that you're happy for me, I miss our conversations about other things. I don't mind talking about the weight loss, I just want you to know there's still more to me than that." My mother in law came out for Christmas and I had a…
  • I'm not a full nutritionist yet but I am studying to be one. The ingredients in shakeology are considered superior because they are ingredients that most vitamin suppliments do not offer, they are non-synthetic, and they are put together at a ratio that offers the customer to actually get the benefits from it, not just…
  • I've been doing shakeology for about a year now. I started out selling it but I'm going to tell you the same thing I tell my customers- It will not lose the weight for you. Shakeology is about repairing your body nutritionally. Yes it helps speed up your metabolism. So does exercise and a clean diet. Yes it helps give you…
  • Too much fiber can cause bloating... but that's the only bad thing I've ever heard of it. And you can keep yourself from bloating or stop the bloating by increasing your water intake when you increase your fiber. I think with the general goals, fiber is one where they just want you to hit a minimum and there really is no…
  • To be really honest here, it's me. My husband and kids just follow my lead. I did good the first 8 months, losing 75 lbs, but then I felt I had done enough for the year. I lost another 15 but gained 10 back over the holidays. I was frustrated because it seemed like no matter what I did good, people talked to me about my…
  • I'm from Fort Worth. I have a 24 hour fitness membership and I'm really into dance. I do hustle, zumba, cardio party, play dance central on the kinect, and I'm certified to instruct Hustle. I'm looking for new people to work out with that are serious about it and try to be positive. I've lost 85 lbs so far, have 55 left to…
