^ thank you. i work out for at least an hour 5-6 days a week & am already eating at 1750 calories (TDEE). However, I am skinny fat & am looking to lose fat & inches on my hips & waist while toning up everywhere, gaining muscle, & getting strong.

^ THIS!! bump.

I am doing it right now & am still only in my 1st month but so far I have lost 1" off my hips & 1" off my waist & toned up everywhere! it's worth it.

^^ THIS. My weight fluctuates from 123-126. However, my waist is getting smaller & my hips are shrinking too & I get to eat soo much more food than before. Also, when you up your calories do it slowly, say about 50-100 calories per week until you reach what you need to be at. Feel free to befriend me! I am skinny fat & am…

I have 3 why's: 1. I have scoliosis & I find the stronger I become, the less back pain I get on a daily basis. 2. I already look good in clothes, but I want to look even better in my bikini & naked! 3. A lot of people in my family are overweight; My father has a lot of health problems that I may inherit, overweight,…

I think at 5'6" & 115 lbs you are just where you need to be. I am 5'6" & 126 lbs. I am looking to trim some inches off my waist & hips but don't care about the number on the scale. I eat 1750 calories daily & workout 5-6 days a week & am seeing a slow loss in inches which is fine by me.. use the scooby workshop TDEE…

^ i used to when i was in college but i don't have them anymore. but i just remembered that we have an indoor flear market year round here so i am going to look there tmr - i get paid!. i bet i find something!
-
^ no i don't have any of those things. But I do have smaller weights that I can double up - 8 lb + 5 lb for 13 lbs of weight. i think the next weights i'm going to get will be 15 lbs. then from there hopefully i can find some cheap barbells somewhere or higher dumbbells. a gym is just not in my budget right now which…

We are the same almost. I am 5'6" & I just weighed in at the Dr's office at 126. I'm slim everywhere but have a minor belly pouch & love handles that jiggle when I jump around. I'm trying to tone it up & get abs but no matter what I do, nothing wants to budge. I'm doing insanity right now & I've been told weight lifting…

^ thanks soo much. I will def be reading that later!
-
^that's awesome! i am def going to be checking for weights at yard sales. Hopefully I find some!
-
awesome!! you look great! I want to lift heavy so bad but I can't afford a gym. I have 8 pound dumbbells at home & will get higher but I can only get so many pounds because of the expense. hopefully i'll find some weights at a yard sale this summer.

a scoop of peanut butter, milk, cinnamon, & a cut up banana & sometimes strawberries if i have them.

i do it everday, it's easy because i work in an office & my lunch is pre-made & i already know what snacks i am going to eat during my time at work so i just pre-log everything in the morning. it's the weekends & dinner that i don't prelog cuz they are usually up in the air. plus i eat a lot of the same things anyway.

Like others suggested, you could eat before you go & decline the sammiches OR you could work those calories into your day & make your workout a little longer for that day. Me personally, I would eat before I go & decline it because my body cannot handle greasy food like that. I bloat up very severely & am very…

if you look closely, you can see where you lost inches around your waist, just above your belly button. i would take measurements right now if you haven't already & then take them again as soon as you finish the program & compare. i'm sure you will find you've lost inches rather than scale weight which is better in my…

I gained weight on insanity, but it's water weight & so far i've lost inches in my waist & hips, 1" off each so far. my clothes are fitting better & even looser a little. My body is toning up everywhere & getting tighter. The cellulite on the back of my legs is almost nonexistant now. The scale is a lie. Don't rely on it…

I haven't finished yet, I am only on week 3 BUT I can tell you that I have lost 1" off my hips & almost 1" off my waist, & I am only on week 3. I lost 1 pound in the first week but that's it so far. I'm looking to lose my love handles & some inches, but not really weight. I can tell you that I have toned up EVERYWHERE &…

white bread & white pasta, I go with whole grain/whole wheat. but other than that, i haven't cut anything out. i have a mt dew maybe once a month if i'm lucky, sometimes i just need that fizz. i eat my favorite foods in moderation - oreos, ice cream, kit kats, candy, cream cheese and other foods, and I only drink alcohol…

LOTS of fresh/frozen fruits & veggies. try to find foods with the LEAST amount of ingredients in them as possible - plain yogurt (you can sweeten it with frozen fruit, it's healthier without all the added sugar of flavored), brown rice instead of white, sweet potatoes, boneless, skinless chicken breasts, whole wheat pasta,…

my food is clean 90% of the time. my diary is open so feel free to have a look or add me as friend!

what an amazing transformation! you should be so proud!

I'm new to lifting, I started out with JM 30 DS which incorporates weights. I started off with 3lb dumbbells & that was extremely hard! I now use 5 lb weights bc the 3 lb weights were not enough. I haven't done it in a while & am just starting up again, but still with the 5 lb weights. When the 5 lb gets too easy, i have a…

I am 5'6", I go by the TDEE method & do NOT eat back my exercise calories. I allow myself 1700 calories a day. I am doing insanity 6 days a week and I walk at least 3 or 4 miles daily (weather permitting) plus i jump on my elliptical in the morning for 10 - 15 min sometimes. I also want to begin lifting weights too, but…

Nothing is wrong with you. I am single and going to be 28 on the May 8th. Do you feel like you have to have a boyfriend/be married or do you actually want to be married/have a bf? I chose to be alone for a long time & now I am dating but I just keep finding *kitten*. I'm not worried about it though & you shouldn't be…

I am currently doing insanity as soon as I get home from work around 3:30-4ish & I usually go for a walk after, about 3 or 4 miles which takes about an 45 min - 60 min for the walk alone plus roughly 40 min for insanity, I'm usually done by 5:30 or 6 at the latest. Sometimes I get on my elliptical in the morning right…

After working out consistently since last summer, including a mix of JM dvd's, a 4 mile daily walk (weather permitting), & currently doing my first round of insanity ( on 3rd week), I have very little cellulite left on my legs. I am sure that within about 2 weeks if I continue insanity & daily walking, it will be entirely…
