One rule of thumb to lose weight is you must burn more calories than you consume. The other fact? I dont know about you but it took me 13 years to gain 150lbs Although I want it off NOW common sense tells me its not going to fall off over night and if it did Id have some really loose ugly skin. Take a deep…

Ive read what you eat on your blog and its a very healthy protein intake.

This is why I weight train three days a week at the Y....or in Stephen's shop

The best routine for slimming the thighs would be to do squats* 3 times per week on alternate days. Start off very light by just using the body weight for 2-3 easy sets of 10 repetitions, then gradually build up the resistance over 3-4 weeks. The best aerobic exercise to help burn fat from around the thighs would be…
