  • This is really discouraging that there are people out there like that. I would say just ignore her and don't talk about food or your diet in front of her. I have had this happen to me quite a bit too. People who are not happy with their weight...but don't want to do anything about it don't want to hear about someone else's…

  • I burn about 200 calories an hour in bodypump. I am 5'0 tall and weigh 120lbs.

  • I do Subway when I need something healthy and fresh. I do the chicken breast 6 inch sub on wheat bread....and only add veggies. No mayo, No cheese...just a little salt and pepper. It's about 350 calories according to their site. Also..is there a grocery store around you? A lot of better grocery stores do rotisserie chicken…

  • Skiing is a great exercise....especially for your legs. When I put in downhill skiing for 6 hours (at a moderate pace)..it says over 2,000 calories burned. I don't think it would be that much....but you could easily burn 1500 calories in that time..especially if you aren't spending a ton of time in lines and on lifts.

  • I agree with everyone here....planning your lunches and snacks the night before is key. I usually always bring my lunch and two snacks (I work in an office as well). The thing you have to watch out for is the candy, cakes, pizza, and all the other crap that offices seem to have around all the time. I am in meetings during…

  • It sounds like some sort of acid reflux...have you ever had a problem with that before? I get that sometimes too...it's normally caused by something I ate or sometimes if I'm really stressed out.

  • Just keep at it....eventually it will start to come off. I have dropped almost 40lbs..but it has taken me about a year and a half. But, the good thing is that hopefully i will keep it off. My boyfriend on the other hand lost 25lbs in about 1.5 months....and I'm pretty sure that he will gain it all back and then some…

  • I am the same way during that time of the month...but I just make myself do it anyway....and normally I feel LOTS better afterwards. the working out actually helps the cramps (at least I think so). Even though it's hard because your energy is lower...just force yourself to go and usually once you are there you will be…

  • It depends on what your goals are. If you have a lot of weight to lose....doing high intensity cardio 3 to 5 times a week will help you lose the weight faster. But, if you are trying to tone & sculpt....then doing strength training alone is okay. Just be careful...you could bulk up if you are doing too heavy of strength…

  • My favorite bras are DKNY....the one that I get is like $35. You can find them at Nordstrom, Macys, or Bloomingdales. Also...look at Calvin Klein...they make some good comfort bras that aren't that expensive. I would go to an established department store that has a good salesperson that can measure you and help you find…

  • Hi..looked at your diary. I would always make sure you are eating AT LEAST 1200 calories a day...otherwise your body will hold on to the weight because you have gone into starvation mode. You will also lose more muscle mass doing that. Also...try adding some natural foods to your diet. Everything I saw was processed..which…

  • If you aren't consuming enough calories to sustain a 3 hour workout..then yes, your body will start to hoard the calories instead of burning them. And where did you hear that if you eat 6,000 calories that your body will only take in 3,000 because it can't handle it? I'm pretty sure if you eat 6,000 calories...your body…

  • Doing low carb for a short amount of time is fine...I personally don't think it's realistic to maintain that over a long period of time though. Doing low carb will make sure you aren't bloated for the day that you are in a swimsuit...and you will look and feel leaner. Get lots of protein and do some weights as well...it…

  • Do you know how many calories you burn on a daily basis? To lose 1lb per week...you need to have a deficit of 500 calories per day (so, burning 500 more calories than you are eating). If you have more muscle..then you probably are burning more calories than you think you might need to eat more than 1300 calories. So, if…

  • When I'm running low on calories for dinner....I do 3 oz of grilled chicken breast and 1/2 cup of some sort of green veggies (brussel sprouts, green beans, broccoli. The chicken will have about 100 calories...but it is a really good 100 calories because of the protein. Or you could just do sauteed veggies for dinner...or…

  • Are you doing squats and lunges regularly? That is what tones me up on the bottom the fastest. If you carry most of your weight on the bottom....it will take longer to notice the toning b/c you need to lose the fat first. I would add running into your workout schedule at least 2 times a week...it reallly helps burn fat in…
