I wouldn't be taking advice from someone who doens't actually exercise often, or know what they're doing. Definitely talk to the gym about an intro session like Momto4minions sugguested. I don't think what you want to do with your body has anything to do with him - if you want to lift, lift. If he doesn't like it, that's…

So what? The 'so what' is that this is sending a terrible, terrible message to viewers. IMO it's not much different to cutting off a limb or doing cocaine on TV in order to lose weight - glorifying that sort of unhealthy lifestyle in the guise of 'health' is disgusting.

OP's last sentence was that the cleanse is 3 supplements a day. ETA - weird, things didn't update so I didn't see other people had replied with the same thing!

Hard/tense muscles just need stretching. Try foam rolling, it works awesome. Your muscle takes up less space than fat and doesn't appear quickly enough to cause stretch marks normally, so it's more likely you just never noticed them before. I have faint stretch marks on my calves from when I was growing as a kid.

I've just got back into running and my first week running ran more than 15 miles. I'll be upping it to around 30-40 miles a week when I start 1/2 marathon training. Some people training for marathons run over 100 miles a week. It's all about having a good base. If you're not sore and you're listening to your body, you can…

I'm confused if we're referring to vegetarians or actual vegetables. Either way, no, I don't think it's disrespectful or disgusting or anything of the sort.

Wellington, New Zealand.

That's amazing. Great job.

How accurate are your scales? Many digital scales can give a reading that's 4-6 pounds off just by you stepping off and on again.

Wow. One of you ladies really needs to calm down. I find it offensive that you're getting offended that someone thinks something is dumb. For the record, if you're at the gym at 6am wearing a full face of makeup, I'm judging you. Perfume isn't ok for the gym. Deoderant is, but perfume isn't. It's not a choice between BO…

I hate 'ya'll' It's not a word. It doesn't make sense. Stop it.

You have to eat below your TDEE to lose weight. Long term, if you eat your below your BMR, your body will strive to reach equilibrium and will reduce the number of calories you need to survive each day (that is, your BMR). This process is slowing your metabolism. Eat above your BMR, below your TDEE.

*EVERYONE* has been in your situation. I wish I could offer you better advice than take each day as it comes and allow tomorrow to be a new day. Don't beat yourself up, and don't allow this to finish your journey. I agree with 'baby steps' - make little changes, and aim to make each week a little better than the last. Even…

Bump for later :)

Anyone feel free to add me as a friend :) You can never have too many friends!

OP, ignoring all this other stuff, the reason I haven't kept up a cardio routine is I get bored. It's too easy for me to put it off till tomorrow or promise myself I'll catch up. I never do. I agree with the people who have said setting goals is a good idea. For me what's made the difference is a routine - I go to the gym…
-
Here's the way I look at it. I've got my goals to lose 1lb a week. That's a 500cal deficit. If I went over my goal cals every day by 500cal, I would be breaking even, which is STILL better than I was before I started. The reality is I go over my cals a couple of times a week by 2-500cal. There are days I go under my cals…

Best start running now :p

The strength stuff is bodyweight exercises, which can build muscle. You're also going to burn fat, resulting in a leaner figure where the muscle is more visible. The point was it's going to be more effective to lift heavy things. I lift my drinkbottle to my mouth with the same hand over 100 times a day yet the arm I do it…

^ EXACTLY. The reality is that you have to choose what's more important, quicker weight loss or drinking. You CAN be social without drinking, and if you can't, you might need to look at whether you have another issue there. I have given up alcohol to lose weight. I have minigoals, and when I reach them, I'll reward myself…

I'm currently 209 and I'm dying to hit 199!

I started it this week, I got 130 in the initial challenge, so have started on week 3.

For me, it's getting busy and injured. I'll get busy, stop going to the gym as often. Then I'll go, and push too hard and hurt my knee/shoulder/hip/whatever. Then I'll take a break off the gym. Then my eating will slip. Then I'll feel like I'm too far behind to catch up, so I'll just stop. It's silly. If I have a bad…

Bump. Thanks!

This. Exactly. Yesterday, I wanted a muffin. I had a muffin and a hot chocolate. I was about 500cal over at the end of the day - but I've been good the rest of the week, I've burnt about 1000 cal extra this week, and my muffin was delicious. Tonight, I'm planning on having a 1200 calorie dinner, which, after lunch, a…

What's your eating schedule when you're working out in the morning? I find what works best for me is protein (usually an up&go or something) right after the workout, then after I've been at work for an hour or so, cereal.
