just start with one hour a day of good, honest exercise. it could be as little as walking for an hour, or as intense as doing the elliptical at the gym. find a starting pace thats good for you, and increase it every week to a workout thats a bit more demanding. combine that with watching what you eat, and you will do fine!

great progress!! keep it up!

IF I WRITE IN ALL CAPS MAYBE IT WILL SOUND LIKE I KNOW WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT!!? nice. thanks to everyone for pointing out how clearly i have no clue what im talking about because im 22. because nobody has ever learned anything until they get old. nothing worthwhile has ever been done by anyone under 40. i DO understand…

its because i WANT people to feel better that i think they should DO better. correct, they may be going through something awful. correct, you cant judge strangers. correct, some people are happy no matter how they look. and im not trying to "scold the fatties"..i think most of the people on here are really trying to make…

if you think i'm wrong, you're exactly the type of person i'm talking about. the kind i feel sorry for when i see them pretending they're happy instead of making themselves happy.

no, my post was about my own private, personal motivating factor, which im sure we all have. relationships should be balanced and healthy. i would never tolerate someone being derrogatory to me, and i dont think anyone should. abuse is never ok! but i dont think theres anything wrong with being realistic about one's…

i didn't defend his behavior; in fact, i think it's quite rude. but i don't get why instead of talking to him about it and telling him to shut up, our friend here is worrying. she needs to stick to her goals and her guns and feel good about herself for her own reasons!

nobody who believes they are "beautiful just the way they are" belongs on a fitness site. if ya'll really believed this, you'd be content with your bodies and nobody would be putting up topics like this in the first place.

i don't think its fair to not have a perfect body, but have a boyfriend who does, and get mad when he asks you to live up to the standards he sets. my boyfriend is gorgeous (even my mom admits hes more attractive than me) and, though he never says anything to me, just the fact that he is so perfect motivates me to go to…

you look amazing!! congratulations

TAYLOR SWIFT. a million times taylor swift.

definitely up your calories (by 200 or 300, I'd say, but I'm not an expert). What my diet buddy and i do is allow ourselves treats on the weekends, usually a dinner of hamburgers and mac n cheese (small portions!). Your body is trying to hang onto your fat; it needs the extra calories to assure it you won't starve to death…

this is what i do best. Did you work out today? If not, you're lazy. Do you plan on working out today? If not, you're a slacker. Did you eat something bad for you today? If so, you don't DESERVE the body you want and are never going to get it. I find that in fitness, as in most things in life, people complain and think a…

if you can't afford the gym, run. the roads are free. if you can't get anyone to diet with you or support you, be your own best friend. Not eating **** is really quite simple...don't put it in your mouth. no matter what is in the house or who won't diet with you, nobody except you is putting things in your mouth that make…

glad my advice helped! best of luck!

don't give up beer! as long as you watch what you eat otherwise and make smart choices (which it sounds like you are with the light beer and all) it will be fine. :)

my personal favorite thing i find changed my body and improved my life most was a fitness class targeting the CORE, focusing on abs and back strength (some pilates-based stuff mixed with moves on the exercise ball and mat). the benefits of this kind of thing are great. i'd say give it a try!

it needs to be changed in that you need to work out 5 - 6 days a week, not 3 - 4. it sounds like you're already working hard- just keep on keepin on and step up your game! best of luck

next time you're sitting around and feeling unmotivated, just ask yourself this: "what would i give to have the body i want?" is ONE HOUR PER DAY really so unreasonable, to achieve something so important? no. so get off your butt and go bust it in the gym!! :)
