Don't put limitations on yourself! First and foremost, putting bone shapes aside, everyone can have those bodies. I said it, yeah.. everyone. (I meant ladies, not dudes..) If you are a woman you CAN look like that. NONE of those ladies wake up, drink a cup of coffee then sit at a desk working for 8 hours. NONE of those…

Absolutely amazing, Nice work, and i LOVE the flexing. Hard earned things should be shown off and clearly you worked hard. Enjoy!

This is due to muscle GAIN. Cardio doesn't really BUILD muscle, but weight/resistance training does. Muscle weighs more than fat. That being said, a professional bodybuilder will usually TRY and FAIL to gain 20lbs in a year. If you notice that after several months you are still gaining a pound or 2 a week.. that isn't…

How are you working out? Typically people overestimate their exercise calories as most machines in the gym WAY over estimate this. If the bike says you burned 200 calories round that to 150. The only reason you would not lose weight is if you are burning all the calories you eat and nothing else. (most likely scenario…

MFP does NOT integrate with any real exercise. Only cardio. So.. if its cardio your doing try to stay to your NET calories as mentioned before. If you are doing weight training at all, or cardio not listed I would add about 300 calories just to see how that helped. Although working out more you should really try to push…

A trainer is not necessary. They are HELPFUL. but not necessary. Remember to mix up your exercises. Try new things. If you don't eventually your muscles will plateau and stop growing. THIS is when a trainer can say ok, lets try this... Then again.. there is youtube. and bodybuilding.com has a huge exercises section with…

A box of raisins is probably my favorite.. no pic tho.

if you are just dieting, nothing else I'd go up to about 20%. However, if you are doing any regular weight training at all, then you'd want much higher. I try to keep my breakdown for carbs/protein/fat to be 40/40/20.

Not a lady, but key to increasing weight in those areas is making sure you're eating right. If you don't pull in enough protein your muscles will not grow, you don't HAVE to have Ahhhnold's muscles to lift, and believe me if it was THAT easy to put on muscle there would be no bodybuilding competitions.. I would, if you…

I would HIGHLY suggest going to bodybuilding.com and checking out their exercise routines for total body fitness. However, if you JUST look at the exercise, there is usually a video listing DO's and DO-NOT's. I use that religiously.

Well 2 things.. If your arms are big (with fat, not muscle) you don't need to tone. You need to lose fat, and gain muscle. The other option is that your arms are big, and contain lots of muscle. The solution is the same for both. Weight training. It is the most effective way of losing weight and toning your body. If gyms…
