@Evelyn_Gorfra- yes, I'm still lifting my normal weights; then again, it's only been 3 days, so that's only two workouts. But, I was able to lift them as normal.

Thanks guys :) I know it seems like over-reacting to others but I'm new to calorie tracking, I've never done it before, and I just wanted to make sure I'm not losing what I've worked so hard for over the last several months. @hazleeyes81- I weigh once a day, in the morning before breakfast, no clothes on. My goal is…

bump cuz I'm a worry-wart :P

I can't like the rest of a picture because I don't like one part of it? :-/ I like how toned and athletic she is. I don't have to like her boobs. I also don't like giant tattoos, but I know several people in my life who have them, and I still like those people and think they look great. But what you're saying is, I…

You have 20.3% body fat. You have 27.3 Pounds of fat and 107.7 Pounds of lean (muscle, bone, body water). Cool. Seems probably close enough (though it's irritating that my home step-on scale is so far off...telling me I'm 25%! >( I'd like to try to get below 20% (I'm pretty close)...preferably 18%.

Sorry to add any confusion and disagree with another poster, but I actually recommend ice. Ice and ibuprofen helped me when I had similar issues. Also, it couldn't hurt, if you have a student health center/free access to a doctor or physical trainer on campus, to check with them and make sure it's nothing too serious.…

Um...also, you do NOT need a gram of protein for every pound you weigh, like someone else said. That is WAAAAAAAAY overkill. My boyfriend is a heavy lifter, 205lbs, and HE doesn't eat more than 125-150g. And he's a male. You can search for protein calculators online to find a good amount for you.

HI! :) From another girl, who has been around the weight-lifting block, I understand these questions and can answer from experience. :) Should I get some protein powder for when I start lifting? Does it matter what kind? Should I up my caloric intake? Nope! You definitely do NOT need protein powder. I've been lifting about…

Also, YES you can build your butt. I have been! :D Squats (HEAVY WEIGHTS) Glute-flexion machine Glute-ham raise machine (if your gym has one...sadly a lot of gyms don't) Hip-thrusts (AKA Butt bridges) Lunges Stairmaster Do any or all of these and watch that butt perk right up ;)

Girl, that's awesome progress. Great pics. Keep it up! :D :D :D

I'm probably going to offend a lot of people, but I have a right to express my opinion, and that is that I HATE boob jobs. HATE. THEM. :P I'm very flat-chested, but I would NEVER EVER EVER get a boob job. Why? #1 - I think they look really, really awful. No matter how "good" the job was done, I just think they look utterly…

Saute diced green pepper and a sweet onion; cook ground turkey in the same skillet, season with whatever sauces or spices you'd like (we have a great "southwestern sauce", or a stir-fry sauce) and serve over rice. Delicious.

Probably 80% of it is mental. You're thinking about *calorie cutting* and *restricting*. So you're telling yourself you're getting less than you need (or at least less than you're used to), "Oh, I'm eating so little," etc, and your brain freaks out and tries to make you think you need to eat more, as if you're going to…

The major problem with the Nike+Fuelband is that (by the websites own admission) it does NOT calibrate the amount of energy (or "nike fuel") based on the size/weight of each person. This is a problem because a 200 lbs person running one mile is expending considerably more energy than a 120lb person running one mile.…
