It depends on your strategy. If you are going low calorie and have decreased your intake to the point where any activity will cause a catabolic state then yes hold off on training till your goal is reached. If you are balancing your calorie intake with additional activity to allow for muscle growth then you can train and…

Vitamix are the best! Mine is 4 years old and still going strong.

Nutrition is a key part of any program. Tabata and HIIT are great methodologies to base your lifting program on to gain strength and loose fat.

Body Composition is a better gauge. BMI can be misleading depending on your muscle mass. http://www.humankinetics.com/excerpts/excerpts/normal-ranges-of-body-weight-and-body-fat

Eat every 3 hours small meals ( snacks really) and adjust your calorie intake to account for the lack of activity. On Training days bump the calorie count to something appropriate. Hydrate Hydrate Hydrate!

Every morning after using the restroom and before eating or drinking. I track my weight using the fitbit scale so I can get my weight as well as body fat percentage. I like the app because it allows me to see my average weight every week. It syncs with My fitness pal and on the weeks that im not progressing as fast as I…

I've worked with a number of trainers and One stood out from the rest. She mixed up the workouts so we were not just lifting weights she pushed me beyond what I thought I could do each day but made sure I was still working in a safe manner. She helped me loose weight, build muscle and become more agile. The point is the…

Activity counts big time. I have found tieing in my fitbit gives a better perception of how active I was that day. im 229 on the road to 190. If i keep my calories low I will get light headed also eating strategically is important!

I had the Surge and ended up replacing it with a Charge HR. The band on the Surge is poor quality and I had 3 replaced in less then a year. I also have used the Polar heart rate monitors and found that the Charge HR gives similar readings.

Lots of things go into what someone weighs As you have dropped fat you may have also built muscle. What other bench marks are you using? How do you feel? When you walked 1-2 hours a day how much more ground did you cover then when you started? And last What clothing size are you. Inches off your waist mean more then what…

I just spent all day pulling weeds and using the pressure washer to clean the outside of my house and deck. You better believe I put that down! With that said I don't plan to eat back my calories from it.

Mixing up your workout is a great way to keep motivated and looking forward to going to working out. One day go for a walk or run the next time try a class that sounds interesting the next time hit the weights. On the days you don't feel like going just tell your self that you are going for a five minuet walk after walking…

Drink water lots of it goal should be about a gallon a day. Also make sure you have enough fiber. A High protein diet can cause constipation.
