Name: Megan A little bit about me: I'm a fitness trainer....used to be a preschool teacher but switched careers when I found my new passion :) Current Weight: 151.5 Starting Weight: 225 Goal: 146.....i think that where I'll be. Really I just want to be 20% body fat. Right now im at 22 Program: My Own :) Short Term Goal and…

What a GREAT debate. I often discuss this with my fellow trainers. Im on this cardio throughout the workout kick right now. Keeping your heart rate up will burn more calories....so i figure short bursts of VERY intense cardio throughout the entire workout may have a great effect on fat burn. So for example, right now I…

A lot of things could account for what you are experiencing....height being one of them. A 120lb girl that is 5'1" will most likely look larger and wear a larger pant size then someone who is 120lbs but 5'5" so always check height differences when u are comparing. Another is build....someone who has a long torso may appear…

are you trying to get smaller...or build a butt? :)

Well i have two thoughts about that. One, it is important to represent health as a trainer and so being a trainer I hold myself to a certain standard. I must always be putting forth and effort to better myself and live a healthy life. However...trainers are humans, and even the healthiest humans have their ups and downs. I…

My personal opinion is that even though you used to be regular...u still weren't flushing ALL that needed to be flushed out...the result was bloating. After eating high fiber for several days, you finally got rid of everything you needed to thus getting rid of the bloat. If you are burning more calories than taking in you…

You can do it!!!! I started out at over 220 lbs. Im now 150 and lean. I would love to be your friend. I just started on this site. Plus Im a fitness trainer and would love to give you help with anything you need :):) and I wouldnt mind some support myself

No. Especially if you're losing fat as well as gaining lean muscle mass. When I squat I start with over 100lbs. You're fine with 12 lbs

I dont think we should support or encourage being obese. However I do agree that models shouldnt just be ONE type of woman...there are a lot of different types of healthy bodies out there.

I can already tell I like you songbyrd

yeah i pretty much agree with you. I work out...and I have PLENTY of curve...thus my screen name :) I do have a body thats capable of building A LOT of muscle...fast. So comparatively to most women I "bulk" easily....but easily as in if I try to bulk. Doing a normal paced and healthy strength training routine does not make…

Thats how I was at 210 lbs. Size 14, I had a stomach...but it wasnt rolly and I was very proportionate....not everyone could pull that off. GO YOU! Yay for having a bangin shape :)

Sorry, I guess I wasnt very specific. The exercise isnt usually what makes your butt bigger...its how you do the exercise. For example, if someone wants to lean up there thighs and butt and get smaller...they should start out doing A LOT of lunges and squats with little or no weight. If someone is lacking a butt and would…

Squats and lunges and weights. Really my butt is smaller when you look at it because the fat is going away, my thighs look great. But Its perkier and there is more muscle...so the actual measurement around is slightly bigger....im not bigger though. However....I do power lift and I also have a body that gains muscle like a…

Yeah...that tool says I have a medium build. Im just always so surprised. I feel like I look pretty good and I dont have much more weight or fat to lost...and yet...im still bigger than a lot of even overweight girls that I train. My body fat is in a very healthy range. I would like it to be about 2% lower...but I dont…

THANK YOU :)
