Its all in your macros. Count your macros. My husband and I are both lifting and shredding fat this way. if you don't now, try this calculator online to get yours and go from there. http://www.iifym.com/iifym-calculator/

did you ever try a pre-workout? I never used to have energy to workout either. I work nights, have a 3 year old. They come in powder from and you mix them with water, take 25-30 minutes before your workout. They give you this crazy energy boost that only lasts an hour or so, and help with blood flow and improving your…

Lift heavy. Start with the bar and work your way up. Keep it up and you will get stronger fast. That's what I did 2 months ago and now I'm doing 100 pound dead lifts and 80 pound bench press, 65 pound barbell squat. Just watch your form. I use the machines, free weights, and barbells. Just search for a women beginner…

I went from C4 to Mpact. Now I'm using Noxipro/Noxivol together (they are meant to go together) and have no problems. Getting better workouts with it than I did with the other two, and using less.

Same here. It's not impossible, I'm doing it too. Run your macros, count them not calories. Try this site: http://www.iifym.com/iifym-calculator/ I have been doing this for 2 months. I've lost 2 inches on each my hips, arms, and thighs. and 4 on my waist. I'm a 39 year old female and I work out 6 days a week and count…

Build muscle ...burn more fat and burn it faster. Protein helps to build the muscle, which will turn around and burn the fat. Lift weights and count your macros to build muscle. I eat around 2000 to 2200 calories a day. I lift 5 days a week. I'm a 39 year old woman, being doing this for 2 months. I have lost 4 inches on my…

The more you give into them the more you get them. Go.cold turkey and fight through. In about 2 weeks they won't come back. Mine only show during pms now, and I'll indulge a bit. Figure out what your trigger foods are and don't eat them!!

They are afraid they will bulk up like men! My sister in law told me I was going to look like a man when I told her ive been lifting for two months. I showed her my before and after pics and she took it back, lol.

I have been doing this for around 8 weeks now. Same here. And i also have these random hungry days where I'm just starving all day. My appetite has increased alot. You should calculate your macros...they are really important for gaining muscle and losing fat. There is an online calculator here…

I started a month ago, and I freaking love it now. I do 5 days a week, 30 minutes a day and I can see the difference already. I started light, just lift what you can. But KEEP INCREASING IT Now Im up to 80 pound dead lifts 65 pound bench press 60 pound squats In just one month. Get a jump rope. Warm up with it, and use it…

HOT5 is great, you download the 5 minute videos you choose and when you do them, it posts right to your account here if you link them. I have done a couple of them, I like being able to work out 5 minutes at a time as I choose

me too. I could use some motivation myself.

Thanks. Yeah I don't have the wrinkly skin, I seem to have all this extra tummy that wasn't there before. Like a muffin top that shouldn't be there, it wasn't there before at this weight. I'm guessing my muscles are all flabbed out.

Thanks everyone! I have been walking, and I went to zumba this week but turns out that is giving me plantar fashiitis (spelling??) so I cant do that anymore. I manage to get to a work out class about once a week.

I do that too, when I am stressed or bored. Seems I keep sabotaging myself and I feel stuck and getting really frustrated with this whole process.

Thanks everyone, I will have to try some of these. He doesnt sleep more than 4-5 hours at a time at night yet, so yeah im tired!! I will try something on my days off (I work 12 hour shifts, 14 days a month) on my work days, Im just to tired right now to try anything.

Thanks. I notice I am tired alot, and I am wondering if to many carbs is why. I am not cutting them out, at all. replacing with healthy/complex, and lowering them for sure. I am going gorcery shopping here in a couple of days, so I can stock up! This week I was hit and miss with it cause I started in the middle of the week…

Well I measured. Overall, I have lost 2 inches and 5 pounds since starting p90x. I did 6 weeks before the holidays and stopped, then started up again 8 weeks ago, so over that time that is what I have done. I can feel my muscles for sure, they are toning up most definatly. I dont follow the eating plan to the letter, I eat…

Yeah, I actually stopped it to and got a dvd and I like it much better!

just wanted to pass along a great idea, light lunch, great if you are at work or at home. try those new Green Giant Steamers in the frozen vaggie aisle, a whole bag is only like 190 calories, toss the whole thing in the microwave and voila! Hot lunch, low cal, and if it is not enough and i am still hungry i will sometimes…

thanks for posting this recipe, i have been wanting a good one for chicken spaghetti for a long time, love it!

thanks. I will try that. I have never had this craving like this before. I like chocolate, but I have never really craved it :tongue:

Well don't forget that the more you work out the higher your metabolism goes and you will be more hungry. also when you eat more small meals through the day instead of 2 or 3 huge one, the same thing happens. So you will be eating like every 2 hours. don't feel bad if when you weigh in you aren't losing the numbers. You…

well I don't know how many of you out there have PCOS, but I have lost a total of 18 pounds and now my periods have returned. This is great, because we want to have a baby. But with it came this crazy huge chocolate craving that I just could not fight, and now it has triggered all my old cravings and I am having to train…
