  • i'm there too! i'm in maintenance and logging has become less and less rewarding. and it started to feel like a diet (as in restricting) for some reason, even though i'm eating more calories now than i was when losing. anyway, i almost felt like i had to keep logging to be here. which is silly i think. feel free to add me…

  • if i had to pick i'd say ripped in 30. bigger variety of moves and you get 4 levels instead of 3.

  • sadly, there's no real way to target problem areas, or to spot reduce as it's called. the trainer is right - cardio, cardio, cardio. that being said, you can also work on strengthening your core so that after you lose the weight there you'll be able to see some definition. i know all about the pouch. i measure my low waist…
