Like emmy said, you need some kind of workout for you to be able to really tone up and be slim instead of just loose the weight, I know it's hard working out believe me I do but it is doable there are programs out there which enable you to workout at night or early in the morning at home. Check out Beachbody.com for more…

*bumps* Good post!

Fennel tea might help, I'm never big with cramps but any warm tea helps cause it warms you from the inside out, try a heated pad on your stomach those might help :) it always helps me when I do get them, just something warm on my belly and I feel instantly better :smile:

Studies have shown that just 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon per day can lower LDL cholesterol. Several studies suggest that cinnamon may have a regulatory effect on blood sugar, making it especially beneficial for people with Type 2 diabetes. In some studies, cinnamon has shown an amazing ability to stop medication-resistant…

I recommend you do some light stretching, your muscles are in shock right now and there for they are hurting, resting isn't the solution here, moving is. Go and do some light stretches, focus on the areas that hurt the most. Don't know how to stretch, google some stretching excises to get started and most important take it…

My stomach gets all upset when I eat anything greasy, it just doesn't settle well with my stomach at all. It's because your body isn't used to it any more that it reacts badly to the fats. I must admit I love fries and it's a guilty pleasure for me to have a small portion every few months. As long as I combine it with a…

As long as you keep your food clean and eat right you won't gain, watch your intake and you should be good :) Good luck!

I don't really do this but I am under my goal a lot, I try to eat as much as I can (which is around 1500-1600 after workout deduct) BUT it's not always easy to eat that much! I do eat 5x a day cause I make myself! I think as long as you stick to your goal it's okay to be under if it's not too much (a few hundred shouldn't…

Let them read this: Hello There! Were you trying to push someone who has taken on the challenge of a fitness goal, into eating some crap? This person has set out on a mission to get herself in the best shape of her life. This requires eating some food that doesn't taste as great as what you are offering and it is very…

And that is exactly what I mean, there are so many people out there who say they are dieting but eat all the wrong food, they may be loosing weight and all but do they have a healthy lifestyle? Again this is my opinion ;)

Welll there is always at home, I'm a mother and I have to plan my workouts but still I workout 6 days a week and am in GREAT shape, I'm currently loosing some pounds to get to my perfect BMI, combining loosing weight with working out just gives out much greater results then just eating less. Especially for me since they…

First of all welcome :smile: Secondly you say your main problem is time, have you ever considered working out at home? You can workout as your kids are sleeping or early in the morning before you go to work and yes that would mean getting up earlier, but think about this, it's about your health and your body. What is more…

For me it's morning for sure, first of all it gets your metabolism started and it will get a real kick start, second you'll feel even more energized for the rest of the day once you've get your body moving bright and early! I've worked out at night because I couldn't otherwise with my schedule but it's just not the same…

Way to go! I'm a 2x P90X graduate, I've done the Classic routine both times and believe me you will shed fat even with that, I've done great both times. I'm currently on week 6 of INSANITY cause I felt I was ready for the next challenge, it's much more intense but I love it!. I plan on going hybrid after I finish this…

I'm a 2x P90X graduate, yes it's intense but doable for sure, if you're really detriment to reach your goal and get the best body you've ever head it's worth it! Believe me it will be hard at first but in the long run it will be so worth it :) I'm doing INSANITY right now which is MUCH more intense then P90X but also a…

My tips: - Watch your sodium intake - Drink at least 8 glasses of water (more is always good) - Drink Nettle tea that helps a lot! - MOVE your body, other words exercise, working out makes you sweat, sweating gets rid of nasty toxins in the body. Hope that helps :)

Artificial sweeteners (of any kind) are all toxic (at least I feel they are my opinion) I never eat or drink anything with them in it, I use honey or raw non processed sugar instead (Sucanat).

I'm a big oatmeal fan, combine it with fresh fruit either mixed in or on the side, I love adding raisins and cinnamon (cinnamon helps with digestion). For lunch some whole wheat bread with chicken and some salad or like others have said try a whole wheat tortilla wrap with chicken and lots of salad (tomatoes, cucumber,…

Support is always a good thing :smile:

Something that is high in protein would be best, so like others have said, a protein shake that you can make before hand and take with you or a protein bar, you can buy those at most supermarkets or drug stores :)

How can you hate stretching, it's the most important thing of your workout, don't skip it. You're prone to injury and muscle strain if you don't warm up your body first. Doing any Beachbody workout comes with a lot of stretching, I myself am a 2x P90X graduate and am currently in my 6th week of Insanity, just keep in mind…
