My husband is a Wounded Warrior and I am active duty AF

What the "eccentric" means is, say you're doing a bicep curl the "concetric" is the force it takes to pull the load up and the "eccentric" is the force it takes to lower it back down again, with the band the lowering part is not as beneficial because the resistance is gone. That's all that was meant. It's still not the…

You won't "bulk up" if you don't increase the amount of protein you are eating in your diet. There is no such thing as "bulking up" or "toning down" it's all building and strengthening muscle. Now how you want to strengthen is where you see differences, if you're not going to increase what you eat then you'll be fine.…

Have bananas and apples on hand and grab one of each. I usually take my breakfast to work and eat it there.

I eat around 2000 calories a day still

This has about 430 calories in it, however you can cut it in half to ~215 and it will still be packed with energy bursting nutrients and be just a filling.

2 packets instant cream of wheat (make with water) add cinimon and one packet of splenda add 1/4 cup of granola add banana, rasberries, or strawberries stir and enjoy :)

My question was not only about breastfeeding but harmony while doing so, thus I would like advice from anyone not just the support group. Thank you though!

I produce 35oz a day so I burn an extra 700 calories a day but I only eat 500 of those back, because milk production varies from day to day.

Try weighing yourself three times in a row... if anything is different even once then I would say research new scales.

Walking most certainly is an exercise and to lose weight you have to get your heart rate up but not as much as most people think. You should keep your heart rate at about 65% of max to lose weight (which walking briskly does for you), 70% or higher and you're doing cardio which is like weight training for your heart. Feel…

Are you losing inches?

If lifting scares you there are also ressistance base exercises that gain the same results, a few are: tricep dib push up pike push up pull ups *and there are a bunch more using a resistance band :)

Some carbs are good and nessecary for energy, as are protiens and healthy fats.

Plan one (and only one) cheat meal or snack for a day at the end of the week. Pick it out at the beginning of the week and if you do well all week then reward your self with it. Mine this week is a cupcake on Friday.

I would just take the extra burned calories and not log them or eat them back. That's what I do, even if I put my baby in the wrap and carry him for my walks, sure it's extra calories but it just goes towards weight loss at this point, especially if you're already eating enough. :)
