  • Wow! I am honored to have so many wonderful bits of wisdom posted! This was more than I anticipated! I appreciate all of the input and love the suggestions. I believe my next move is to switch to paleo and increase my caloric intake. I have been lifting, but not consistantly. When I do lift, though, I "Go Heavy or Go Home"…
  • auddii, I loved this article! I will try to push more paleo and watch the calories for a little to see what feels good, then ditch the constant watch! Thanks!
  • Good thought, leighdiane91. That's pretty much what I am looking for help regarding. I am not sure how high to go, because I think a 2000 calorie diet is too much for me. I have been holding my weight steady at this caloric range, so I am just wondering how much to add on and how to do it as I am eating REALLY frequently…
  • I think you are right. :-) I don't know if I will ever be "good enough". I just don't want to look bony, I want to get more definition and if I need to eat more/ differently to get there, I would like input from those who have seriously researched muscle building and nutrition. I appreciate your kind words! Thanks. We are…
  • If you do a significant burn, eat more. If you are bumming around, eat less. Don't forget, it's the type of food, too. If you eat a slice of pizza, that's 200+ calories, as is ONE doughnut! But you could eat a super large salad with some lean protein for that many calories. Watch the bread, dressings, fries, etc. If it…
  • Welcome! I started with Insanity, and now have P90x, Brazil Butt Lift, Chalean Extreme and Turbo Fire (my favorite!) Feel free to friend me! I need motivation at times, too, and I wold love to have an accountability partner, even if it's not for the same workout! Good Luck!
  • cutmd and I are on the same page! I was going to also suggest Brazil Butt Lift from Beachbody. I have noticed a difference in my bum-bum and thighs, where I tend to be heaviest (in fact, I once had a personal trainer tell me that my bottom half didn't match my top half! Can you imagine!). I love it! Check it out!
  • I have one that hooks over the door frame and can be taken down any time easily! I am starting with a group of Beachbody- ers on Jan. 3rd! Good luck all!:smile:
  • I have a problem getting enough protein calories instead of carbs. I was having the same problem. I have begun to have at least 2 protein shakes per day. Sometimes 3. That seems to help even the calories out and get me a lot closer to the protein cals I want. For instance, I will make a protein shake with half cup of soy…
