Bravo! Amazing job!!

Carbs fuel your muscles. We need carbs. Listen to what Nancy Clark, world renown sports nutritionist, says about carbs.

The Red Tent is my overall favorite but I have so many.

I am the same way. I am at a healthy body weight, just want to get very lean so it's slowwwwwww going.

Bravo!!

stomach! woot woot!

You look amazing! My personal opinion is that men look better lean like you, than like a body builder. Just my opinion. Great work!

I teach Les Mills BodyCombat which is a mixed martial arts inspired high intensity workout. You will see kickboxing, karate, tae kwon do, capoeira (sp?), muay thai, kung fu, jujitsu.....It is non contact but, depending on the instructor, you will get a lot of attention to form. I have been teaching for over 7 years and…

Also, keep canned tuna, hard boiled eggs and cut up veggies around for quick things to add.

I meal prep on Sundays for lunches for me and my husband. I roast up a ton of veggies and sweet potatoes with herbs and sautée, grill, or bake chicken with different herbs flavorings. You are set up for success with meal prep! Good luck!

chicken breast, vanilla protein powder, cottage cheese, eggs, Greek yogurt are a few of my favorite protein choices. For carbs, I like brown rice, sweet potato, Kashi Blueberry waffles, veggies

Yes, the honest truth is that not only do people look better within a healthy weight range, they feel better too, which is way more important. Losing the weight, sticking to a plan, giving this gift to yourself builds confidence and confidence is attractive on anyone.

switch to soda water with lime. very refreshing and still has the bubbles.

You have 4 daughters. I would suggest finding a good therapist to figure out why you don't love yourself and why you don't feel like you are a good person. Self loathing is terrible for you and your family. You CAN do this. You CAN change. You just need to feel that you are worth it. Good luck!

Amazing! So happy for you!

You find the motivation within yourself. When you are done making excuses and really, I mean, REALLY want to get healthy, you will find it. Best of luck, you CAN do this.

I have the best recipe for salmon. Marinate in a Tbsp of brown sugar, a bit of peanut oil and low sodium soy (I don't measure, just eyeball). Grill or broil. Top with chopped scallions and serve over brown rice. It is delicious! I don't like salmon any other way as it is too fishy.

Your profile says you are 33 yrs old. You must not be getting your period at this low weight. I think this post was a call for help. Don't be scared, you can get healthy. Please see your doctor immediately. No harsh words from any of us, just get the help you need. Be well.

Amazing workout! But, the only way you are going to get results is to be strict with nutrition and weigh everything. If you are looking to bulk more, I would suggest adding some heavy lifting days. Orange Theory is a great cardio workout, with some strength added in, but the weights aren't heavy enough (at least in my…

I don't think the doctor was being malicious. Weight gain is linked to many health issues. OP is not obese, but doctor was smart to mention it before it continued in a downward spiral. I also think he/she may have been wondering about other issues going on behind the scenes, like depression, that may have contributed to…

Purchase a food scale and start weighing and logging. The weight will come off. Be patient.

Great job! Way to go!

Frenchies! Hence, my profile pic! That's my baby pup, Paris.

Abs are made in the kitchen. Losing fat will help. Planks and hovers are also great core strengthening exercises. Lifting weights also activates core. I am fitness instructor so have a lot of experience with this. Best of luck and focus mostly on calorie deficit.

You look fantastic! Great job!

Awesome!!

I'm 45. You can add me if you'd like! I keep an open food diary and am a fitness instructor. Good luck!
