^^^This + Please make sure you are not trying to become too thin. From your photo, you look like you are at a pretty healthy weight now. You may POSSIBLY have a toning issue which will be helped simply by lifting weights. This will provide you with a healthy look although it may not be reflected on the scale. Best…

For me, it does not take motivation to go ... I like to go. Such is not the case for many. We are all different in this regard. 1. If the gym is not your thing, don't force it. Really. I mean try it but if it does not grow on you, don't sweat it. Find other activities that you ENJOY doing that will meet your goal...…

In short, no. Sugar will not affect weight loss as long as total calories are held in check. HOWEVER, no answer is totally that short. The downside of too much sugar (particularly processed sugar) is that you are taking in "empty calories"... That means that they are calories that you are taking in without a corresponding…

Wear what is comfortable. As for me, I typically wear a sleeveless shirt with cargo shorts that are sized about one size too large. This is for one reason... I like to be able to see what I'm working on (and don't like to get too hot when I'm running on the treadmill) but like to be able to work out without being…

As some have alluded, follow your body here. I don't think there is necessarily one set answer to meet all situations. Don't force it (generally). At the same time, don't focus on weight loss so much if you are sick. It is possible that your calorie deficit may well have contributed to not feeling well by not taking in the…

No, the world is not ready for that... WY eat rattlesnake

Lift heavy. "New Rules of Lifting for Women" is a great resource for starting out. Also, if you are starting at a gym, spend a few extra dollars and get some pointers from a personal trainer. You don't have to keep them on full time but they can point you in the direction with regard to technique and a beginning program.…

Only if you ate 42,000 calories over your maintenance over the past couple of days. If this were the case, you would have averaged 21,000 calories over maintenance... Not real likely. If you were in feast mode (as most of us are this time of year), your body will take in quite a bit of water weight. Given that you have…

No, no I haven't HYE run a marathon.

Yes. Have you ever eaten crawfish?

I like that this combines types of exercise. Many of these are relegated to running or walking or biking or whatever... With this one, you are combining miles... I have done the running thing but would lose my warmup and warm down milage... Sounds great.

Naughty but in a good kinda way.

This is but a season. A Festive Occasion. Do what you can. Maintain to the level that is socially appropriate and get back on track at the New Year. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

IF POSSIBLE (and for us due to our jobs and such it really is not), keep it to a minimum but when you go, log the best you can and don't stress over the details. It'll be ok.

On machine weights, If you go daily, do legs and core one day then Upper body the next with a day of rest in between to get started. I prefer weights before cardio. Honestly, the best way to get started on machine weights is to consult the staff and if possible engage a session or two with a personal trainer to get you…

Unless you exceed a really outlandish amount, excess protein is generally considered a good thing... especially if you are doing any resistance training. If you really went overboard (and I doubt that amount of protein would be that excessive) and do no weight training at all then possibly you could have some negative…

Heavy lifting will do quite a bit of good. Focus on full body exercises more than the bicep curls. Some great exercises that work larger muscle groups are squats (just add the weights), Deadlifts, pull ups, dips, bench press. There are others and I'm sure others will chime in on specifics. My best suggestion is to spend a…

Don't let this bother you. Fat leaves your body as fat chooses to do so. In your case (and many cases) it appears that your belly fat is hanging on longer than perhaps your chest and hip areas are losing faster. This is a good indication that you tend to hole weight in the middle which means that you really do need to…
