I like routine-ish so that will be nice

I am not excited for all the new years resolution people at the gym. I think its great and all but every year its the same. Huge crowds and then slowly it gets back to normal.

There are pre-workouts that have adderall extracts in them. Gives you the energy and the focus for the day. GNC or other big name places will not have it, smaller local supplements shops will.

The mirror is the best way to judge results. Weight can change as much as 5 pounds a day. Use the scale the same time every day OR use it once a week - For example using the scale each monday morning will show more accurate results. Bottom line - Use the scale as a reference, use the mirror as the motivation.

The guys stare because its a nice refresher to see a girl in there. Once you show them you can hold your own - you'll become a regular in their eyes. Maybe try to bring a friend or go at the same time so its more of the same people every time?

All the time people are spending correcting this post aimed to help people just starting out is entertaining. I posted advice, take it or leave it but stop picking it apart. It is not intended for anything beyond a basic foundation. Instead of policing the forums go to the gym.

Holidays are the hardest. Just have to keep thinking that summer is right around the corner!

I lose? It is impossible to lose weight and gain muscle. ----> Correction ---> It is impossible to lose weight and gain muscle EFFECTIVELY. Pick one and see results, try to juggle both and it will not be very effective. Now you can go to the end of the line.

Our gym is really nice but we have tons of students sooo I started going at 6am, it sucks but every single morning I know that it will pay off. This last week I am doing morning and evening workouts... Soo we shall see how that goes.

Thanks for the critical analysis of my post that is intended for beginners.. not advanced members such ar yourself..

Basically that is a good way to start, you can get more exact but its not needed for beginners(in my opinion). Most people will never hit the protein they need each day unless they go out of there way do to so with shakes, bars, and careful meal planning.

I think for the sake of this topic the definition of meal replacement should be looked at.. There are protein bars and shakes that are sized to be a "meal replacement" but there are also pre-package meal replacements at the stores..

It is impossible to lose weight and gain muscle. Period. That being said, if there is enough protein in the diet then muscle loss can be minimal when eating at a deficit to loose fat. If Flabby you are referring to is loose skin or more fat - then the only way to fix that is to lose more fat, then fill the void with…

Buy the Keurig at Bed Bath and Beyond on the clearance table - people return/exchange them all the time(my friend works there, thats how I got mine for $40 never opened just returned). Buy K-Cups online on amazon for cheap prices on the main flavors, for other flavors use the 20% off coupon in the ad each week.

I have experienced the same thing, and over time I have noticed if I skip a morning workout I feel miserable the rest of the day. Basically the morning workout gets your body going. If you do that workout on an empty stomach and then eat a protein rich meal after - you'll feel good all day.

I would suggest trial and error to find out works best for you. Increase the deficit each week and see what happens. I found have a 500 calorie deficit to be a good goal for me. If that is to hard or to easy then adjust accordingly.

haha, thanks! It looks like you have been here awhile so I will not question your thoughts about this. lol
