I enjoyed hip hop abs for four weeks. Admittedly, after that I was ready to move to a different program, but it was so much fun that I am sure I will go back to it after a while.

50g daily carbs? Who gave you that idea? Just eat a variety of food and stay within the daily calory limit that MFP tells you.

It's obvious in the back, but the stomache area is much smaller, too, just look how it protrudes in the old pictures, and not at all like that in the new pictures. But what I think is really awesome is your posture. Your left shoulder was hanging in the past (a typical misalignment), but now you are standing straight! Next…

Heart rate monitors estimate calories burned by heart rate. They are reasonably accurate, but only from a certain minimum heart rate on upwards. The heart rate monitor devices (at least from the market leader POLAR) know this and will stop measuring once your heart rate drops below the minimum heart rate required for…

I have felt exactly the same after two weeks. I looked at my net calories and decided that I was not eating enough to support the workouts I were doing, so I have now eaten back the exercise calories for four days in a row and feel much better. I am still tired more often than before, but not hungry or drained. So try…

I am not saying you should not do exercises, doing exercises to get definition is an excellent reason! But I don't think you need to do two ambitious exercise routines every day to get in shape. Your body needs rest, too. And if you keep good form, even a superficially less ambitious program can challenge you a great deal…

Hi, fitness and exercising contribute little directly to weight loss. You do them to get healthier overall, to improve your posture, agility, strength and endurance. To lose body fat, it's important to monitor what you eat. It is easy to see why. To lose one pound of body fat, you need to consume 3500 calories less than…

You need to eat 3500 calories less than you burn for every pound of fat you want to lose. This can only be done over time. The reverse is also true, you need to eat 3500 calories more than you burn to gain a pound of fat. If you look at the daily calories you require, you can see that it is impossible to lose 9 pounds of…

You lose weight by eating less than you burn. Although you can increase what you burn by exercising, this is not really very useful for losing weight. It is very hard to burn calories by exercising and it is very easy to gain calories by eating (and lose calories by eating less). That means that it is simply not practical…

Congratulations for starting your journey. I don't want t o discourage you, seeing quick results is hopefully something that motivates you and keeps you going. However, you might bounce back very quickly, and I want to give you some information so that you are not discouraged by that. I started two weeks ago, lost 8 pounds…

I think you should eat a variety of food, including carbs. If you want to manage your weight, you only need to count calories input and output. If you want to be healthy, make sure you get all essential nutrients (which you will if you eat a variety of foods, and you only have to be careful if you eliminate certain food…

When I am in a situation like that, I think back to something that a music teacher said to me when I faced an impossible task. We had to play a modern classical composition for 5 dismantled pianos, which were tortured with various tools such as hammers, screws, and also, yes, an electric milk mixer. On top of that, we had…

You know, you can always quit later, and it will be just as easy. The hardest decision is to start, so hang in there for a bit longer. I have started counting calories and restricting what I eat and drink 2 weeks ago (I drank 2 litre of cola every day, now I drink a glass, I ate a lot of junk food before, now I am…

Very useful, thank you!
