Read this about new exercise regime gain: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/200544-why-do-you-sometimes-gain-weight-when-starting-a-new-exercis And this about plateaus: http://fitnesswithnatalie.blogspot.com/2011/05/most-dreaded-word-in-weight-loss.html

Lean muscle takes up less space within the body than fat, but weighs more as it's more dense.

The real tragedy is that children are being abused and killed every minute of every day and perfectly able-bodied individuals who would / should be able to help or contribute in some way are too busy being glued to the TV set, all the while spouting perfunctory claims as to the guilt of the defendant as if they had psychic…

When I was a fat kid my pediatrician told me this is largely not the case for the majority of fat kids... it's just another excuse parents tell themselves when in denial about their kids' health. If a child is overweight / obese the situation is only worsened waiting around to see if the next growth spurt evens them out.…

That's not an indicator of food being served at home. My mom, as wonderful as she is, was never a cook. She never prepared meals from scratch, nor were they nutritionally balanced. We always had snack food in the house as well. I was overweight most of my childhood as a result, whilst my mom, dad, and two brothers were all…

I found level 2 to be worse than level 3 to be honest, I think it has to do with the types of exercises.

You can tone the area. I've not done it personally, but someone I'm friends with on MFP had amazing results in the whole hip area from Brazil Booty Lift (DVD workout).

Agree with a previous poster. I don't do the cheat day so much as I still enjoy the things I want in moderation. A burger here and there, take out pizza once a month, a dessert once in a while... not going to do you harm, but the key is moderation. You can make healthier burgers at home as opposed to grabbing fast food,…

Insanity is 40 ish minutes a day, not under 30 but close. Hip Hop Abs is 40 - 60 minutes a day depending on the day of the schedule. You could do this and, on the days of doubled up workouts, do only one... that would keep the workouts under 30 minutes.

5 hour energy shots work a charm, or redbull. Probably equally as bad for you as coke zero but you get more caffeine.

I've found since starting Hip Hop Abs that I have less of a pooch, I still have two weeks to go so I think it will go a long way towards correcting it.

5'10" and JEALOUS of short women! ^_^

I'm in the middle of Week 2 of Hip Hop Abs and let me tell you.... MOST FUN I HAVE HAD WORKING OUT EVER! Shaun T is hilarious and lovable, very charismatic and makes doing it fun and engaging. And the results are noticeable! I have another two and a half weeks to go (I've done a week and a half) and already I can see the…

I say push yourself each and every time you workout, then you don't need a watch to tell you how hard you're working ^_^

Genetics.

THIS is how much I love coffee (underside of left arm):

Thanks for the replies. I think I'm victim to the whole idea out there that you shouldn't eat after "X" time, which is why I asked about it.

I remember reading a study that showed men's ideal size for a woman is larger by two pant sizes, on average, than a woman's ideal size for herself.

It's the Dark Side, people fear it ^_^

I cooked peppers last night! I use: rice (typically Uncle Ben's spicy mexican rice pack, 2 min microwave), tomato, chili sausages (or lean ground turkey), onion, mixed herbs, dried chili, Cheyenne pepper, Nando's hot peri peri sauce, and a little Monterey jack cheese on top to hold the lid on. I bake it at gas mark 4 (not…

No. Those other people could be people who are just beginning their weight loss journeys, or maybe don't know where to begin because they feel like it's an impossible goal, or maybe are so mentally burdened with their weight that it took all their strength to walk out of the house that morning, all the while convincing…

My daughter is ten months old now. I started with the 30 Day Shred as it was only 20 minutes and I could squeeze that in when she was teeny tiny. Then we started going on walks, 4 miles a day. Now that she is a bit older I stick her in her playpen whilst I exercise and shower and she doesn't mind it. Don't fall into a…

Troopers are still kosher... right?

Well done! Keep it up!

I'm there at the moment. I'm now below my pre-pregnancy weight so not only are the maternity bits too big (waaaaaay too big!) but a lot of my pre-pregnancy clothes are now too big as well. I've held onto a few pieces of clothing from a weight smaller than what I was pre-pregnancy, and I am transitioning in those. I refuse…

Possibly a diuretic effect, but probably just down to you drinking more water. I find I do not lose if I am not drinking at least 8 glasses a day.

I use suger free squashes to give my water flavor. As a previous poster said, the peeing will lighten up just give it time.

ROFL! Another nerdy girl here, feel free to add me! Welcome to MFP!
