They are negative about it because in their mind there has to be a secret way to lose weight, other wise they have no excuse for busting their *kitten* like you do. So they over compensate by trying to drag you down to make it easier on themselves for not being dedicated and motivated like you. Just my opinion.

1)Yes 2) Average about an hour. 3) Yes and they provide you with a calendar to help. 4) Yes you do. It takes a few weeks, 6-8 but you'll really really see a life changing result. 5) From and athletes point of view it is very difficult. But you do what you can. Through the first few weeks you struggle to keep up, but that…

Deal, I'll be right there with you the whole way. Lose the crunches after your cardio. Crunches = Strength Training = Insulin Spike (albeit low) = Inhibited Fat Burn. In the mornings, an apple will wake you up. If you like apples go with it. They don't have the chemical abilities to wake us, but the chewing and swallowing,…

When you exercised did you workout and do cardio on both days? Did you eat right after you worked out? These are important questions because it affects the way your body rebuilds muscle and burns fat. Most of the good effects of doing cardio happen in the hours AFTER your work out. For this reason you shouldn't weight lift…

150 is a much closer aspect unless you are keeping your heart rate up the whole time. Alot of it depends on how quickly you are moving between sets and exercises.

I've been an athlete all my life. Been through rigorous 2-day practices that last upwards of 8 hours (with a lunch break). I was an all state track runner and recruited to run in college. I tell you that so you'll understand when i say that P90x is the toughest workout progression I've ever tried, you'll believe me. It…

I may be in the minority here, but I think cutting loose on the weekends is helpful to your overall goal. Yes, you are eating more calories than normal. But, if you are like me and work at a desk all week, you're probably a bit more active on the weekends too. Plus, if you continually deny yourself what they call "cheater"…

Utter BS. Your window after working out to supply your muscles is around 60-90 minutes. But, you have to allow for digestion. So your post protien drink should be taken no more than 30 minutes after your workout. They are right about the Whey protein though. This type of protein digests quickly, where as other forms digest…

Weighing everyday isn't a big issue if you don't freak out over every little up and down. It can kill your motivation. If you are going to weigh every day, do it in the morning right after you get out of bed before breakfast. Make it the first thing you do. Its the only time of day that will incredibly consistent. Why?…

Depending on your protein intake you can be burning through muscle, but not anywhere near that much. If you're jogging your building muscle in your legs (arms and core to a lesser extent). Do you feel exhausted all the time? Have you been sick the past 3 weeks? Do you cramp in your legs, feet, and or hands? Are you…

I say go for it. If we consistently deny ourselves the foods we love our diets will fail. Yes its very high in sodium and fat. But something like this once every couple of weeks isn't horrible. Eating one meal thats high in calories and sodium isn't going to throw you off track in the long run. Maybe exercise a bit more…

Whey Protein is intended for post workout. It is truly the best protein product. I mix it with mix and I swear by Optimum Nutrition's (ON) Gold Standard Whey. Its relatively cheap (compared to other products) and does the trick. If you are looking for a meal replacement you might look into Casein Protein. Its a different…

Yea you are completely right. I don't think I've ever eaten completely healthy, always skimmed the lines. But I have coworkers asking whats up when I have a salad for lunch instead of a burger piled high with everything you shouldn't eat. Another thing to point out that its largely our culture. Other cultures don't view…

I am surprised by your results. If you are the girl who hates to work out, then I assume you don't work out that often, or at all. However, the reason I'm surprised may not be what you think. I am in fact surprised you haven't gained MORE weight. When you being a work out regiment your muscles begin to absorb more water…

I took a look at your diary and there are days when you are skipping entire meals. Is this intentional or is your daily life so busy that you don't find time? If its the later, find time. If its the former, skipping meals will hur t you not help. As others have suggested, this will slow down your metabolism. 900 calories…
