y=m*x+b m is the slope of the line. ie rise/run in this particular problem for every .59 the line goes upward, the line moves one to the right. b is your y intercept, or where the line crosses the y axis and x=0 To draw the line I would start with the y intercept and from that point use your slope to find another point on…

I completely agree, there are very few dads that can give you what lifting actual heavy weights can. The best part about really pushing yourself (HEAVY WEIGHTS, your purse weighs more than those five or ten pound weights you do videos with) is that you can see result rather quickly. I swear every time I lift that I can see…

me too although sometimes an xl was pushing it

you can still function, but your brain takes its energy soley from carbs in the glycogen that is stored in your liver. You body uses carbohydrates as the primary form of energy and stores some as glycogen in your muscles for use during 'fight or flight' or exercise. So by reducing your carbohydrates you are also going to…

it could be vitamin D, especially this time of year. I would try to add a multivitamin to your day and see if that helps

ginger ale has A TON of calories in it, and for that same amount of calories you could probably eat a snack (and if you're drinking diet, the artificial sugar causes water retention and severely hinders weight loss.) and you need to drink water, especially if your working out. try mixing half water half lemonade and slowly…

in order for something to be marked as "zero trans fats it only has to have less than 5% trans fats. so actually most of the stuff that is suddenly "trans fat free" just hid it in the label.

i am giving up alcohol and eating out. (except i am running a half marathon in Fl this weekend so I have to eat out at some point, but that doesn't count) those are my two biggest vices when it comes to weight loss.

photoshop? seriously she doesn't look even close to that in real life abs (and other muscles) showing are simply a result of a lowered body fat percentage, in fact Kim probably has somewhere between 16 and 18 percent body fat (possibly lower) your best bet is to focus on YOUR body and what it can do. incorporate more full…

if you're working out every day, and lifting, and cutting back calories, you may not be eating enough. your body needs time to recover and even though it is hard, a rest day (or two) a week is actually very beneficial. also, make sure that under your program options that you have all your fitness minutes planned for, this…

that is exactly why,even though it IS a saturated fat it one of the best ones out there. And use it when i cook and love that is has such a light flavor and doesn't leave an oily texture.

i think that the fit bit calculates your bmr, so you technically want to be in the negative b/c that is when youre going to be burning stored calories. but i may be wrong

the key is moderation. and if your school has the menus ahead of time fiddle with them in your tracker and then you can go in prepared.

5-9 pounds a week?! as a PT he should know that is not even remotely healthy or sustainable. I would be talking to his boss, b/c who knows who else he is telling this too and they may not have the resources to realize its implications.

I started with half water half lemonade and slowly decreased the lemonade in it, and now i drink water all the time. I still like it best with lemon in it though.

There is actually no such thing as 'negative calories' the amount of energy used to digest the food is already calculated into the nutrition information.

you said he like computers and stuff, so maybe try fitocracy for him, its actually like leveling up your body and such, and most of us are pretty nerdy. Obviously since he's 13 you might be a little more wary of him being online. or maybe allow him on his computer only if he eats his fruits/veggies?
