There's tons of info for loosing weight but not a lot of info for gaining weight . My sons had the same prob . Like the post above I'm not an expert however I looked for info when he first wanted to gain and there was not much out there. It has taken my son a few years but I'll share what he did. He's very disciplined. He…

Pre-log it helps keep you within your calories . Can't tell you when I first started how many foods I thought were healthy and were not and had more calories than I expected. Pre- logging gives you a chance to catch those time without eating those lessons. The biggest - this is a lifestyle change not a diet ! Do what you…

This is what worked for me and has been so easy- mom of three , 40 , work full time eating - started at 1200 cal but after plateauing raised them to 1600 what I found is you can eat more just better choices. I limited bread , pasta, white rice. Changed margarine back to butter or used coconut oil to flavor. Dont go fat…

What I've learned along the way is you cant spot reduce your weight. What did help me though because I always carried weight around the middle was I started out with a walk / run three days a week 3 miles then extended it to five days. Diet was key of course. I ate cleaner but also cut out sweet tea , bread , and all…

my sons have never had bad acne till they were 18 and 20 . I too have been on the hunt for what would work. We have bought several products with systolic acid and full line of toners ect. None of them were working great. Both of my sons have gone to the dermatologist , two different ones. In my amazement one said to come…

Was wondering do I keep going like I'm going or do I need to adjust cal , your input will help me out with that. tks age 40 weight…

I'm also 5 4" . When i hit a plateau I raised my calories . I stupidly didn't know I was suppose to eat my exercise calories back. So I wasn't eating enough. Now I just eat 1600 on workout days . If I skip a exercise day I eat around 1400. At that time I was eating three meals a day . I changed that to eating 5 x's a day.…

Great info thanks for sharing ! I love lifting and my walk/run I guess I'll try and double up I found that worked best for me .

vanilla almond milk and sugar sub stevia . When I first started on here they had one of these thread and someone added they use cinnamon . I think cinnamon speeds metabolism or something and its actually pretty good . Just couldnt drink it everyday .

The Julian Micheal's dvds are cheap 10 bucks at walmart . They are broken into two parts 30 min each. Maybe start with just doing one for 30 min. Something you can do at home with your child and we can all can find 30 mins if its something you really want. Everybody needs thirty min for you time. Good luck and welcome to…

I have found it's hard to eat my exercise calories back . I started at 1200 and I have recently raised mine. I will share that at first I didn't know to eat my exercise calories back and I was eating to low not meaning to. There was a time when I quit loosing . I learned a lot reading the topics trying to get the train…
