wear skirts and dresses, problem solved..

in addition to the other lifting programs listed above, strong curves is another option

OP some of your posts make me think that you may be overthinking to avoid getting the work done.... are you lifting?

it's mainly genetic. as for strength training getting rid of it ..... someone should telly elisabeth akinwele that she should start training with weights

i find that usually when people say stuff like this it's because they feel entitled enough to say their assumptions publicly without being called out on it. it's one thing to have assumptions and prejudices of people based on what they look like, because hey let's face it we all do it, but it's totally different to feel…

:laugh: yeah OP that sounds pretty ballsy of your hubby to say. are you sure he wasnt saying it to try to get some angry sex out of it?

what's wrong with being slutty? :laugh: nothing wrong with letting your inner slut be great and look great for a few hours

OP, the calories needed are based on averages and estimates which means there will be individuals above and below those numbers. so it really doesnt make a difference if you're eating more than others and still losing weight since the calories you need are for ones needed for your body, not theirs. if it's something that…

you're going to have to be more conscious of your form while doing the lifts, also maybe even firing up the glutes during the entire squat and deadlift. also do some mobility exercises http://www.stack.com/2014/02/03/at-home-hip-flexor-mobility-exercises/ other exercises to work on are ones that work that hinge movement ,…

i'd take it as an insult, it's like those people who say stuff like you're so well travelled for a black person :laugh: :explode: anyway, i've had people say that to me and i've usually replied "athletes come in all shapes and sizes so why are you assuming i'm not an athlete?" only once when the person was exceptionally…

sorry, i'm just nosey :laugh: i havent been to the church ave PF, but maybe i'll drag my bestie there next time i'm in NYC. have you seen class pass : http://classpass.com/ my NY friends love this and if i still lived there i'd definitely do it.

she said . it's the T word

wow i used to belong to NYSC and my membership wasnt that low :brokenheart: do you go to that planet fitness in downtown BK? if so i see why you'd have a 2nd gym. :laugh: ok anyway, if you can afford it then why not? if the gyms offer different things then why not? i used to have 2 gym memberships : 1 was my regular gym…

meanie :brokenheart:

i'm a larger runner and i only forefoot run when i'm running sprints. otherwise it's mainly midfoot. i only seem to do heel when i'm tired. for me, stride length has an impact too, the shorter my stride the more back on my heel i land. but like the others said, just go out and run and see what feels best. for me,…

did you try google? i just put the name of the muscle in the search bar and "exercises" and came up with 21K results

this.. you're feeling guilty about eating below a calorie goal that's already been lowered enough to lose weight.

are you afraid that it's going to be slippery slope back into a vat of pizza? i can understand that, but i think in general he people who that usually happens to are people who are too restrictive in their diets and completely cut out ALL of the things they used to like. just fit it into your calories. and no i never feel…

you do realize that your kids are probably already world class booty poppers, right?:laugh:

are you looking at this as a lifestyle change or just a diet? because honestly if you plan on eating pizza and sweets when you are your goal weight then you should just think about how to fit them into your calorie goals NOW. there are plenty of people who have lost weight and kept it off on this site all while eating…

yes! i go through phases in my workout ensembles and now i'm all about looking like a ninja for some reason :laugh: plain black compression tights (full tights no capris), black or dark tank or tee, dark shoes. my favorite compression leggings are from under armour but old navy are a good facsimile. they arent as wicking…

a gym quality one might work since they are made for lots of use. you might be able to find a gym that's looking to upgrade their current machines and have a perfectly good older treadmill they can sell cheaply.

jameson and ginger... for beer i like stouts

what are you thinking will happen?personally i'd go simply because i'd be pissed at myself for spending money for something i'm not using . even when i'm purposely taking a week long break from the gym i make sure to stop in at least 3 days a week to use the bathroom and dirty a towel

i agree with the others that say you are being oversimplistic. lack of self conrol implies that people arent 100% conscious of their behaviors AND the consequences of those behaviors. many people over eat fully in control knowing full well what they are eating and that they will gain weight. the only constant reason why…

exacty.. the time to hydrate is before you train if you wait until during then it's not going to work and you might even start cramping. i'd also think if you're going every 10 minutes then you're probably not getting as much out of your workout as you could, especially if that break ends up being several minutes

in addition to sleeping right, eating right and proper hydrating i find having a little "me" time/social time helps avoid mental fatigue. even if it's 15 minutes of meditation, it can really help

wrap dresses, fit & flare and a line are universally flattering also i wouldnt even worry about trying to camouflage big hips, butt, etc usually the camouflage in larger sizes makes it look worse. for instance empire waists.. very few people can pull those off without looking bigger than they are, even for people who are…

here's a good how to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnVxeIqid2o and most of these girls aren't particularly "assy" there's also tons of videos on the web on how to make your booty pop :laugh:

shoulder rehab : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0ONHZmsFec that's a 5 day a week protocol that's REALLY good! I'd swap out the bicep curls for bent rows. any particular reason you're doing calf raises? you could do plyometric squat jumps (just make sure get low on the squat and spring up as high as you can and land as…
