being asian we typically eat rice every meal but i needed to change for losing fat hence i eat black rice after my workout ( strength and endurance) and tons of root vegetables for carbs. if i am not feeling lazy, i would mix black rice with brown. my kids like the combo as well. good luck.

5'3, I have a muscular upper body with broad shoulders but I am probably 150lbs and wear size M for tops, sometimes S and size 5-6 for bottoms and jeans.

Hello everyone. I am 5'3 and my starting weight in August last year was 187lbs with 39% body fat. Now I weigh 155lbs with 26.5% body fat and still has 25lbs to lose and aiming for 19-20% body fat on my birthday month in September. I do a lot of circuit training that includes battle ropes and TRX. Right now I do weight…

There is a group called "eat more to weigh less" and Kiki and Lucia explained this at length. Good luck.

I use Innov8 for lifting. Or you can use what most CrossFitters use because they do bunch of crazy stuff..... ESP lifting.

Above post is correct. Drinking it after a strenuous exercise would be beneficial. They actually recommend drinking this kind of beverage with Bikram Yoga because you sweat so much in 90 minutes that you also lose minerals.

Hi. I have been doing TRX in my gym with an instructor for 5 months now and I really love it. I do it once a week on Sundays and each time it is different. We go through a circuit using 2 TRX belts, we also have 3 ropes of different weights including the "anaconda", then the rest is lower body and core. Or whatever needs…

About time someone speaking up about this. So immature.

Lifetime fitness, they have amenities even my kids can enjoy. I must admit that the membership fees and all the extra specialty classes are a bit expensive.

I am Asian too and BMI is not the one and only indicator of how fit a person is because it does not take into consideration the muscle mass. Do not fret over those numbers. As for your medical problems, don't you think it is better for you to control it with balance nutrition and exercise rather than relying on pills? You…

Hi. Yep, been a member for 2 years now and I loooove it. My 3 kids go there on weekends to swim and to child care. I go almost everyday and take Bootcamp (this is extra) and on light days I do fitness Pilates, spinning,. It really depends on what goals or exercises you prefer. If its cardio and strength, CRT, FIT, Totally…

Eat whatever is under 100 calories. You don't want to slow your metabolism down just because it is bed time. A small bag of popcorn is good I heard. Stay away from sugary fruits or sweets at night.

Thank you for all your encouraging words. Sometimes I just don't understand how this weight loss works. I know I have been stronger since I started weight training--- using 50lb kettlebells. Now I am starting to think maybe my muscles are getting bigger and heavier, now should I use lighter weights?

The one I am using right now is the polar RS400, as suggested by my personal trainer. It can tell you which zone you are at if you are in zone training, that way you know if you are burning fat, calories or sugar. This watch also keeps your records or progress in file so you can check how much calories you burn in a week…
