Definitely get a HRM! I just picked up a white FT40 today! I LOVE it!!! And it's great because MFP doesn't track calories burned while lifting so it's great to know what your WHOLE workout was worth... because remember, your still burning major calories in-between machines because of your HR. Having one, in my opinion,…

I fell IN LOVE with Vi-Shape Mix! I've been using it for 5 months now and it's the first protein powder that i've been able to stick with for this long :) It's a great meal replacement, it keeps me full for a couple hours and it tastes yummy, not that yucky chalky gritty taste that most have. I'll message you with more…

No girls!! Don't stop your lunges and squats!! :) They are AWeSOME for your lower body!! We gotta tackle the fat sitting on our legs, and to do this we should be doing HIIT and workouts in the fat-burning zone :) Trust me!! Once the fat melts away you'll have stunningly shaped legs and butt :)

Keep doing what your doing! :) You'll start leaning out! Burning through your fat and you'll have leaner legs and butt. If you really are afraid that you're building solid muscle (which i highly doubt) start doing cardio and HIIT running. It's going to help you burn fat and lean out. :) I have plenty of HIIT workouts if…

Yup! Great ideas! We get the thin crust whole wheat pizza :) Or make our own with whole wheat tortillas and put on our favorite toppings :) Pizzas can be just fine to eat while dieting, keep it healthy and in moderation! You do need healthy carbs to lose weight! :)

I'm 5'10" and i'm pretty close to my goal now of 135-140. The 90 Day Challenge that i'm doing has helped me tremendously!!! I'm working on leaning out and building lean muscle now! :) I've noticed that by doing different circuit training plans and HIIT has helped change my body a bunch! :) I'm newer to MFP, def shoot me a…

Cardio is not the only way you can lose fat :) You can do circuit training, HIIT, super-setting when lifting. There are plenty of fun ways to burn fat and go on to leaning out and defining your muscles. I can send you some routines that i do! It also depends what you are eating through out the day, and having a good…

Pop Chips, Sun Chips has a new natural and multigrain line that's good, baked chips, Kale Chips, Veggie Chips... lot's of healthy alternative options out there. Most grocery stores have a section dedicated to healthier snack choices :) Stay away from the "100 calorie" pack stuff. Those have more fat and are filled with…

I weight myself once a month - I also use a measure tape to see where i'm losing weight, every 2 weeks. It's good to do both because muscle weighs more than fat.

Add me too! I'm new, just started MFP last week :)

I'm not the bride but i am the maid of honor! ;) A few of the bridesmaids and groomsmen are doing the 90 Day Challenge to get ready for the wedding :) It's awesome motivation that we all as a group are doing it together and keep each other accountable.

I'd go for a cotton / spandex mix. Victoria Secret Pink collection, Nike, Under Armour, Barely There, Lulu Lemon... and many more. Pretty much any undie line carries something great to wear for working out :)

Plenty of water! When you're body hasn't received good nutrition in a while you will have this experience. Simplest way to put it: your body is flushing out all the "crap" and using all the new healthy foods to push it out. When you're eating healthy you are getting more fiber, enzymes etc in your diet which is causing…

BodyRock.tv - awesome, intense and motivational! :)

Hey Nikki! When you use the elliptical or bike, how long are you on it? It could be the shoes tied too tightly, however when you are on these machines it's natural to get that sensation because you putting pressure on the balls of your feet which is a sensitive/nerve area and you could also be decreasing blood-flow to your…

YES! Definitely add it!

Aid your body in re-building the muscles you just tore down by doing some light cardio training to get your blood pumping and lymphatic systems moving, this aids the lactic acid to flush out of your system. If it's only your lower body in pain, use this day to train your upper body (vice versa). Make sure to keep on…

I do a meal replacement shake in the morning, it fills me up and 2 hours later i have my first snack of the day. Here are a couple that i do (i have tons of healthy recipes): - 8-10oz of Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk - 2 scoops of of nutrient-rich protein powder (I use Vi Nutritional Shake Mix). - 1 tsp of cinnamon -…

Yes!!! Carbs are VERY IMPORTANT when it comes to weight loss! HOWEVER, you need to educate yourself with eating the RIGHT carbs :smile: Key Advice on Carbs: - Skip refined and processed foods altogether!! - Read the label to see if there is added sugar (be wary of the "oses") - Eat whole grains (oats, whole wheat and brown…

Both are great, but when it comes to getting fit and losing fat I would always go with Veggies over Fruits. Remember, fruits are full of sugars!!! I also don't believe in counting calories, i think it makes dieting overwhelming and that whole process causes major anxiety towards food. I highly suggest portion control :)…

Hey guys! It depends on what type of protein shakes you are doing, some have A TON of carbs, fillers, sugars, etc that are just crappy for you and you're not getting the proper nutrition that you need. So be sure that whatever you are using is a good mix. The brand that i use, i do 2 a day sometimes 1 a day (it depends). I…

Hey there! That's great to hear that you are back on track with your workouts! :) I highly suggest that you write down your weight and DO NOT touch the scale again for about 3 weeks. Your weight fluctuates every single day and the scale can be a huge "debbie downer" if you jump on it every day and you don't see the numbers…

I'm not 40, but i've helped my mom get back on track by helping her with her nutrition and fitness. She loves her carbs so i've helped her switch out the 'white, beige, processed' stuff from her diet to healthier alternatives. She's lost 15+ lbs just from taking those out and she still has her sweets, etc every now and…
