You know they say to create a meal plan before you go grocery shopping so you don't buy anything that may go to waste. Well i do that but i meal plan using MFP then i grocery shop

so you say never target the oblique? I've found from personal experience that by targeting my obliques I've been able to tighten the loose skin around my muffin top area. I have found that crunches have given me nice definition to my upper abs and sit ups have tightened my pouch. i only strength train 2 days a week so i…

You can't spot target fat but you can with muscle. Try engaging your obliques more by doing side planks and side crunches. Eating healthy will reduce the fat and by sculpting your obliques it will tighten everything up and show some nice definition. Good luck.

You probably have what i have. A flat tummy but loose skin giving the same appears as if it was fat. Keep strengthening your core but try focusing on more oblique exercises. People tend to forget to work those muscles. Keep eating clean foods and you will start to notice change. Beware, it does take a long time.

I would pay my photo radar ticket. lol

You need to keep your heart rate at its max when you work out. To acheve this, exercises that get you from the ground to a full stand work the best. For example: Burpees, Prisoner Jumps, Pop Ups are what I like to do. POP UPS - I like the most, they are what I call a functional fitness move. From a standing position go…

Take Vitamin B12. It wont help prevent the anxiety attacks, but it will help you not feel so drained after you have had one. My fiance swears by it, and he suffers from severe anxiety attacks. He use to have them once a week until he got on his new meds now he gets them only once a month. He has cold sweats too, but it is…

i don't like either. Its been shown that artificial sweetener like Aspartame causes cancer in large enough doses. I would rather have fat that i can work off then a cancer that is out of my control. Now, to have one or the other as a treat either would be fine, it comes down to personal preference.

Do 3 sets of 30 reps if your arms are not fatigued after that increase your weights to 5lbs and then move up to 8lbs and then 10lbs. Its not necessary to go any higher than 10lb dumbbells, unless you want to join a body building competition. for a kettle bell max out at 20lbs. I teach outdoor boot camp and i don't have…

I would think strengthening your core may help. My sister had to go to physio all the time for a back injury she got due to a bad car wreck. Since she started Pilates she has cuts her visits down substantially. You need to train your back to be in a neutral spine position. Yoga may help too, and invest in a lumbar cushion…

I like my oatmeal in.....................COOKIES!!! yum yum yum

No kidding. Just want to say it was his fault and I blame Shane for Carls bad lil attitude.

According to the first episode of the Talking Dead the show is suppose to be different from the comics so it will intrigue all viewers. The characters and plot are pretty much the only things keeping to the comics. They said for the show anything goes. Thats enough said to keep me watching. BTW last few episodes seemed…

I WAS IN THE POOL! I WAS IN THE POOL!!!!!!!

also try a tabata form of workout. 20 sec exercise (as many reps as you can) 10 sec rest 20 sec repeat exercise (as many reps as you can) 10 sec rest repeat same exercise for 8 times (4 minutes total) rest one minute, thats one Tabata move on to next exercise you can usually so 8 Tabatas in one hour and trust me that hour…

burpees dead lifts lunges rise ups (lay on your back on the gound and get back up onto your feet full stand without using your hands. try it 10 times in a row.)

I've been told that my smoothies taste similar to ones from booster juice or orange julius. one cup frozen strawberries half a banana half a cup on plain non-fat greek yougurt (I use liberte 0% plain yougurt) quarter cup of juice (any 100% juice will work) and about a cup of water (depends on how thick I want my smoothie)…

I think it all depends on what part of the day you are going to eat the fruit. For example they say bananas are good to eat before your workout or after. Since your metabolism is working hard you won't have to worry about your body storing the sugar as excess fat. Also the nutrition benefits will always out weigh the one…

Last year I had so much pain in my feet that I couldnt wear anything but sandles even wearing socks caused so much pain. I went to the doctor and was diagnosed with a heel spur. I wasn't told if I had plantar fasciitis, which is commonly associated with heel spurs but I was given some very helpful advice. - Invest in a…

I second that!

Brushing my teeth stops me from snacking. First off, the taste of the toothpaste stays in my mouth long after brushing so even taking a sip of water tastes funny. And secondly, I tend to feel lazy having to brush my teeth multiple times in an evening just because I had a late snack. If I am truly hungry after I have…

I hate protein powders they all taste gross! I use Greek yogurt for my protein. in a blender all... half a banana 1 to 1.5 cups of frozen strawberries half a cup of Greek Yogurt (I use Oikos Organic Greek Yogurt) or about two large heaping spoon fulls then about half a cup of either juice (any flavor you prefer) or 1%…
