That's exactly what I tell my clients...deduct 20% and you typically would burn 6-7 calories a minute on the elliptical...unless very overweight you would burn more....45 minutes on an elliptical at a somewhat challenging pace would net you around 400 calories maybe a littl emore depending on how hard you hit it

it doesn't have anything to do with it...but I think what could have been meant by that, is that when you do follow a clean eating plan, you tend to get hungry..often, especially if it's new..spreading out the calories helps with this...you wouldn't be able to really eat 2-3 times a day and achieve 1200-1500 calories…

You got it! lean meats, fresh/frozen fruit veg, whole grains..limit sugar, sodium....know where your food is coming from!!! It's a smart way to eat. I will post some meals..Tosca is Queen of clean eating! there are desserts you can have..baked apples with stevia and raisins come to mind....we can all help each other…

If you're doing an 8 rep range, you should start to strugle on the 6th rep...7 and 8th should be super hard to do. If you only struggle on the 8th then you have at least 2 more good reps in you if not more. Your dietary needs will change if you lift really heavy, and consistently, as muscle size grows, you need to be…

^^^this! water weight

anything calling for a BB you can use DB....your bands can be used for lat pull downs...hook them around a door frame..anything high up...i've seen clients use their canopy beds...you can wrap it around a doorknbo and do rows as well...bicep curls..stand on the band and curl...squat with overhead press..again standing on…

This was my reply to a previous post on the same subjct....deally 3 days a week, you need to keep the cardio to lose fat. A full body routine can begin simply with 1 exercise per muscle group, when you get better you move on...not a fan of strength videos, because seriously, you need to lift heavy weight to see results.…

I have 6, 8, 14, 16, 18, and 2 20yr old twin boys. 1 grandchild who is 2!!! I wouldn't base my decision on having another child on the worry of them being too far apart, adult children offer a tremendous amount to younger siblings!

I have a piece of Belgian Dark chocolate...if the sweet tooth is really bad, I indulge, usually tootsie rolls!

Don't know if i'm repeating ..didn't read all the way through,,,,picture the person butt f*ing naked!! Seriously it works....I had a boss that used to love to belittle, short, stout, bald, and ugly, reaked of cigars..but man he had a temper...I use to picture him naked, I then had to hold back giggles instead of…

I'm a mom of 7...tell her to friend me!! :)

Taking my kids skiing for valentines day...they're my true and lasting loves!!!

I agree with a previous poster...I've tripled my wage from being in a private setting..working for fitness centers to working as head of the nutrition department in a hospital..with that came a more expensive car..more expensive trips...a nicer house...just makes me spend more...lol

You don't want to be skinny fat....thin girls who have muffin tops and flabby thighs despite the fact they weigh as much as a chiuahua...a little strength training goes a long way..and when you get to child bearing years and above the payoff is more then physical appeal

AGREE!!!

I agree!!

Ididn't have time to read all the other posts..I may be repeating ideas here...this is the perfect opportunity to zigzag your calories....you still lose weight, yet you've allowed yourself extra calories on the days where you will likely be less inclined to track them...no need to be die hard regimented..that's just…

I've dipped below 8%body fat and my cycle completely stops...it's not unusual..but another poster was right..if you're having unprotected sex and miss your cycle.....test it!...mom of 7 here!

You should be eating what you like all the time.,...I don't get it!?? in moderation nothing is off limits..A plateau is a way of your body telling you the changes you've made were sucessfull and now your body has adapted, therefore you change..simple things, the kind of cardio, the weights/sets you lift

Just bought a 2012 Mercedez SUV, love it :)

[1] What is your name? : Tina ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [2] Why did you choose your username? : I absolutely love Chuck Lidell, a retired MMA fighter and a great mentor. I switch the chuck to chick and there ya go! lol ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [3] What is your zodiac sign/When…

You need to make your physical fitness and eating changes a priority, until you take it seriously you won't succeed, no one can do it for you. You need to make it important...good luck

It makes no diference, your body doesn't know a calorie from a candy bar from a calorie from a carrot..it comes down to nutrion and how healthy those calories are that are fuelling your body...but to answer your question...if you eat 500 extra calories from chocolate or 500 extra calories from veggies, if at the end of the…

2x's a week is not enough for a full body routine...ideally 3 days a week, you need to keep the cardio to lose fat. A full body routine can begin simply with 1 exercise per muscle group, when you get better you move on...not a fan of strength videos, because seriously, you need to lift heavy weight to see results. Training…

My two cents....eat every 2-3 hours, making sure you have protein at every meal...cut the refined sugar and crap out of your meal plan, stay hydrated, workout, cardio at least 40 minutes a day, preferably after you've done resistance training. Do resistance training 4-5 days a week, and give it your all, do not be afraid…

I have 7 kids, my rule has always been 1.00 per week per age of child, it works wonderfully. I also have a "job posting" list on my fridge once a week, posted on sundays, this allows them extra money for jobs that are not normally part of daily allowance money...such as washing the dogs, tutoring the youner kids...running…

Maybe you're getting enough from the food you're eating...I would only worry if when you use the restroom your urine is dark yellow and not clear/light...if it's dark, you're not getting enoug fluid...light and you're good to go, not everyone requires as much hydration as others.

I totally agree...unless i'm busting a sweat in the gym..I never drink water...HATE IT! and not going to try to love it..it's never hurt me not to drink it...so as long as you have an intake of fluid from some source, trust me you'll be fine. Make sure your calories are alotted for it as well, if you're drinking juice and…

But if you want a running partner...don't get an enlgish bully!!! lol they love the water..so kayaking maybe...but running..forget about it!

I have 2 English bullies!, Lola and Daisy....greatest dogs in the world.. I also have2 persian cats, Pickles and Gizmo, we had to keep them in separate rooms for awhile, but honestly the cats were nastier to the dogs, I needed to worry more about the cats hurting my girls then anything...eventually they all got along...and…
