    in 5 miles......no problemmmmmmmmmm! Comment by CindyWard4u May 2010
  • I recently learned that the protein amount really only needs to be for LEAN body mass...not overall weight. For example...I weigh 153...but my bodyfat is around 17%...so if you calculate my lean mass I would only need 127g of protein per day....a little more if I wanted to add more muscle. (153 x 17%=26.....153-26=127).…

  • my mother joined curves for a while and she really loved it. It could probably be a good starting point to get you into the habit of exercising regularly.

  • A lot of this really has to do with how many calories you are burning each day...if you have a way to monitor your calorie burn during workouts then that is a great way to tell you what calories you should take in. In my experience the balance of 40/40/20 works well but tweaking is always an option especially if you begin…
    in gaining weight with the recommeded calories????????????????? Comment by CindyWard4u January 2010
  • Be sure to calculate your actual caloric needs after you factor in exercise (if you are doing a regular routine?). If you find your daily calorie burn then reduce that by 300 cals per day to lose slow and steady. Journaling everything and I mean everything you eat is very important too. I find that if I know I have to…
