Do you know for certain that she started at under 1200? Does she currently eat 1200 calories? If not, how exactly was she being hypocritical?

Corn Salsa 6 ears of sweet corn 1/2 cup diced red onion 1 small can of diced chilies Cilantro (to taste) 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 tsp paprika 1/2 tsp Cumin 1T Olive Oil 4T Lime Juice Cook the sweet corn as preferred (I bake mine in the husk). Cut corn off the cob and cool. Once cooled, stir all ingredients together. Let sit for 1…

Sorry people have said some sh*tty stuff to you. That's not cool. However, if you're overweight, you're overweight. No amount of being fit makes up for it. Extra weight leads to health problems. But that doesn't mean that being slim equals health either. I know plenty of slender people who are unhealthy.....and most of…

So, you're going to do a quick fix to fit into a dress. Then, you'll stop "dieting" because you hate it. So, you gain the weight back. What happens next time you want to fit into a dress? You do a quick fix again? That's a fast track to a wrecked metabolism. Why not just learn to eat in moderation, do some exercise and fix…

Why not just buy a really great size 12 dress that fits you and makes you feel good? And then rock it. Because I doubt anyone will be checking your tag......

Do a large prep once a week. Chop your veggies, portion out meats, cook food for lunches, etc. Then, it's all grab and go for the rest of the week. Eat what your kids and husband eat. You don't need to eat special "diet" food. And if you're just eating healthy, then they should be too right? Make extra dinner and eat the…

Try the red velvet flavor. You can thank me later.

Whenever it works for my schedule. Right now, I'm getting most of my workouts done right after work, since my babysitter will keep my daughter for an extra hour.

^Amy said it all.

^This.

Weight loss is about a calorie deficit. You can lose weight even if you never move. You just need to eat less than you burn.

Cottage cheese Greek yogurt Lunch meat slices Grapes Bananas Apples Hummus Roasted chick peas Chips and salsa Oranges Strawberries with cool whip Marshmallows (for when you need something sweet - they are low fat)

^This. Plus Herbalife is not a good source of protein. It's a meal replacement product. Look for something with a much higher protein content. I like Trutein.

Agreed. You can achieve a goal body fat % without having to worry about the scale. Especially if you are at a healthy weight. Muscle loss would not be ideal however, even if you aren't too concerned with it.

When I was an EMT, we had to transport a guy with GI problems to the hospital. He was vomiting a black, coffee-ground like substance. It was the most horrible thing I had ever smelled and the hospital was a good 30 miles away. Not fun. My dad has a bad gag-reflux around CPR.......the first time he ever performed CPR, the…

I'm 5'6", 181lbs and I eat 1970 a day. But I'm only set up to lose 1lb a week and I use the TDEE-average method, so my exercise cals are already included.

Ask someone in the gym to spot you. Most people are happy to help.

You're not weak. These women (myself included) all started lighter and worked our way up. It's called progressive loading. You increase your weights on a regular basis. I started with the bar. Most people do. A standard Olympic bar is 45lbs. That may sound like a lot, but you a using your whole body to support the weight,…

Go to a running specialty store and get fitted. You need the right shoes for you.

We have both, along with Amazon Prime. We got rid of satellite last year. I honestly haven't missed it. Right now, I spend $22 per month for the 3 (Amazon Prime is $72/year, lots of included movies and tv shows and free 2 day shipping on lots of stuff as well) compared to $85 per month for satellite. Totally worth it!

Yeah, all I see is a 65 year old man who hasn't worked out a whole lot lately and yet still has a fairly decent amount of muscle mass. By comparison, Elton John is 66 and won't take his shirt off in public.

Nope. Your body weight doesn't count when you're working with free weights.

Herbalife only works by creating a calorie deficit. There are no magical weight loss ingredients. You can achieve the same results by eating less food (even if you don't exercise).

Couch to 5K Get fitted for running shoes (at a running specialty store) if you haven't already Check out this website: www.goodformrunning.com - take a form clinic if you can find one near you Stretch and drink lots of water Do cross training (spinning, swimming, yoga, weight lifting, whatever appeals to you) 2 days a week

My 1 rep max is 265. Right now, I'm doing Wendler 5/3/1, so my squats are a percentage of 90% of my 1RM. They are anywhere from 150-225lbs, depending on the day of the program. I'm 5'6", 180lbs. I'm only getting smaller.

I thought she was the champion of cake? What's this business about potatoes???

You guys rock!!
