You're right...that's not. He sounds like Doug from King of Queens lol My ex husband was pretty supportive. Although he would make fun of me when I worked out and used to take pics of me working out while i yelled at him...but it was all in good fun. Once he realized I'm a much nicer person when I work out, he wouldn't…

Could be muscle if you're lifting heavy. But if you're lifting light, chances are it's not muscle. What about your measurments? Size? Any changes? How's your eating?

Yes it is and EAT MORE! You're SO not eating enough for how much you're working out!!

When I was obese in the 80s, when the world was still skinny, I got stared out. Now that I'm fit in 2013, while the rest of the world is gaining weight, I get the glares from women. I have a new co worker who talks about how "fat" she is and glares at me and looks me up and down. Sorry chickie but I was once heavy and you…

I'm not trying to lose weight but lost 70lbs over 20 years ago and have kept it off and I'm 40 so do I count? lol Feel free to friend me for support!

No...because you will take weight off and then it will bounce right back. Nothing about fasting is healthy! Stop the madness!

I have a lot of "curvy" women who act like they are more "woman" b/c they think I'm "skinny"...but you hit the nail on the head with the confidence. I could give a crap what "curvy" women who don't know where I came from say about me. I could give a crap about being called "skinny" when I am STRONG. I know who/what I am…

It's hard to say about your cals without getting specific details on your workout regimen. But if I'm 40 years old and maintaining 135 at 1700-2100 cals (depending on the day and if I worked out) then safe to say you should probably increase your cals.I sent you a FR :)

Look at my pics. I lift heavy and I'm hardly bulky!! I'm LEAN!!

Way to go! See what happens when you're determined? :)

Welcome!! Sending FR now :)

I allow myself a couple of cookies a couple of times per week as dessert and I allow no more than 2 cheat meals per week. That' has kept me on the beam for over 20 years. I eat well about 85% of the time and like slop the other 15% and that works. I don't really crave junk food because I allow that little bit and…

You really have to stick with what you like. My personal experience, though, is that after over 15 years of doing primarily cardio, it failed me. I was working out to the point of overtraining and didn't even look like I worked out anymore. Then I read an article that your body can stop responding to cardio and that's when…

I've worked out at all times of day because of my schedule and I'm proof that none of this is true!

I stole this from Chalene Johnson...the best time to work out is whatever time you can work it into your schedule and make it non-negotiable and stick to it! It's different for everybody!

Hallelujah! Although I do drink coconut milk b/c I'm allergic to cow milk...

Welcome Courtney and the other newbies! We don't all know each other on here, but you will know a lot of us soon. Feel free to add me!

I'm 40 and I'm working on my most stubborn client, my 69 year old mom, to get her healthier. She's a tough one! lol Feel free to add me! That y'all are here and working on getting healthier is my motivation today!! Welcome!! :)

I'm 5'7", 135lbs, 40 yrs old and just started heavy lifting within the past year. I squat 70lbs, row 60lbs (and with a shoulder injury that I shouldn't be lifting more than 25lbs ever...HA!) all lower body a minimum of 70lbs and slowly working on that...

I'm 40 years old, 5'7", 134lbs and my goal is to build muscle and really, weight is irrelevant. I'm more concerned with keeping my metabolism revving in my 40s and looking good naked lol And also out-performing my 20 year old self! Sending FR now!

The FDA, for years, has allowed doctors to get people addicted to anti-depressants and narcotic painkillers and is just now doing something about it. The FDA allows coloring to go into our foods that makes our children have ADHD symptoms. allows GMO "foods" in our food supply without making companies notify us, allows…

I'm not a huge fan of fruits and veggies either. This has def been a challenge for me and I am the result of a lot of self-inflicted health brainwashing lol I hate that fresh, good for you fruits and veggies go bad and boxed, processed convenience food lasts forever! lol I'm not a raw veggie fan unless it's drowned in…

ChaLEAN Extreme!! Best results ever! My profile pic shows my results from round 1. I'm currently finishing up round 2 in about a week! I'll PM you :)

With a lot of love I say this...ditch the 1200 calorie diet and ditch the word diet! This is why you're not successful! I'm sending FR now...

I used this http://p90xcalories.com/ and when I calculated the burn, I used moderate intensity for each of them. Then I entered each one into My Exercises on MFP as a cardiovascular exercise. My goal was to maintain and build muscle and I got fantastic results so I guess it worked!

^^ great job!!

take the pictures! You don't have to post them but when you get results you will sure be glad you did! I'm glad I did!!

See? This is why I never ask! lol Feel free to add me for support! This is a great tool to help motivate you and keep you on the beam!

What has worked for me is being realistic...I will never eat 100% healthy all the time. I'm human. I eat well 85% of the time and like crap the other 15%. When I lost my 70lbs, I portion controlled and exercises. I know what "they" say, but it's been my personal experience that exercise was 50% of my success when losing…

Not just one exercise will tone your core. You need to work the entire core, including your lower back, to get the abs that you want! And it also includes cardio and nutrition. You can do any ab exercises you want, but without a lean eating plan, your efforts will fall flat! Feel free to friend me if you want any support…
