You look very good, so congrats on achieving your goals. But let me tell you that if some women don't bulk up by lifting heavy, others are not so lucky. I am one of those girls and i do avoid any exercise that involves my calves. Maybe, it's not as noticeable at 140 pounds, but once you go under 120, and u have 18% body…

If you all were survivors on a deserted island, with no food, i bet u'd be happy to be a woman and have more fat:))) just my 2 cents, lol. But, i agree in our days it's not easy to be a girl, constantly dieting. So yeah, I'd love to eat 3500 cals a day...but i don't care abt standing up while peeing, sorry boys.

I don't think that's possible for a woman to do 100 pushups. sorry

He is lazy! if he masturbates then he has a sexual drive and a good one, he is just lazy or he manipulates u. Yes, men can manipulate women with sex too, he may be frustrated by smth, or he has sex elsewhere. I'd cheat on him if i was u, sorry, but i understand how frustrating it is for you to have sex once in a few month,…

Ohhh, i see, you might have digestive or urinary problems that could be also the cause of your weight gain. Good choice in changing your life style.:))) once a day? hmmm, did u eat over 1200 cals? because if u were eating only 500 to 1000 a day, ur metabolism is slow, in this case eating 1800 would be realy not smart. If u…

Btw, if u just started exercising and you didn't have any crash diets before this, i can't see how can your body go into starvation mode so soon. I do think that u can: 1. forget or ignore to log some small snacks, that are high in calories ( like small candies etc) or 2. ur muscles are not used to the exercise yet and…

it could be water weight due to exercising, do u do only cardio or u lift weights as well? i'd say stop for 3 days and weight yourself, u might be surprised how fast this weight might come off.

Same happened to me, joined gym 2 weeks ago and i am 125-126 , i'd like to be 115lb, so i noticed that everytime, after my workout routine (i lift weights and i also do cardio) i'd gain about 2 pounds. Also my scale is showing same weight and even a bit more every day( i weight myself every morning). So what i did is that…

May I ask you why you even ask this question? You knew you had to eat 1500 and you didn't, but instead you went and burned 588 additional cals? I am sorry, i don't understand. However, it's ok if you undereat one day, you have reserves(fat and muscle) that replaces this deficit. The worst you can do is to go and eat when…

About 10 to 13 left to go and they are the hardest ones.:(

My story is different. I used to be like you guys until i turned 25 and my bf, who would turn me down a lot. I initiated sex 90% of the time and in 5 years i said no maybe only 2 times, him-i stopped counting. Well last year, his life became stable, mine started to be a wreck. Eventualy all the stress got to me and my…

Honey, don't want to be harsh on you, but your man is gay or has smb else. 3 years no sex? i'd had a lover by now, or divorced.

http://www.mightygrasshopper.com/2010/11/are-you-skinny-fat.html that's a very good article and you can see the difference between fit and slim-fat.

http://woldfitness.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/skinny-fat-butt.jpg here you go, skinny fat- no muscle, a hight fat, but looks skinny. She lost muscles intead of fat.

None of them work, the old products had ephedra(Hydroxycut) in them and you lost weight. The new ones have a bounch of herbs that do nothing. So spear your money. I tried them all last year, they dont work.

I don't know, I don't recomend this, is it be done under medical supervision? I heard people lose a lot of weight, but it could be because they eat only 500 a day. Plus playing with your hormons might have nasty side-effects.

I heard it was smth between 300 to 500 calories, more towards 500.

I haven't, but i am willing to give it a try. :)

Thank you:)) I know there is the genetic factor that plays a role in it ( my mom looks like an athlete but she doesn't do any sports what's so ever), but i'll try to combine your advices. Hmm, i know, we all have our sins and follow crash diets at times, but i am going to be a good girl this time. I know that it's my crazy…

The problem with me is that, i tend to scare away from weight training, because i tend to build muscle faster then most women especialy in my lower body, the only ones i work are my oblics and abdomen and i do squats. The problem is that once i get to my desired shape, how am i going to keep it, because cardio could just…

Thank you for the great advice. I was at my haviest this summer, 145lb and i am only 5'3, so I droped naturaly 3-4 pounds but I decided to take metters in my own hands in Oct., I noticed just by cutting my cal. intake to 1000 I droped about 9 pounds in about 20 days, after that it was an extremly slow battle! It took me…

I don't want to scare you, but it might be more serious then u think: bad blood circulation, fast growing tumour, cushing...Anyway i am not a doctor, but strongly suggest you to get a check up.

It's not normal! do you have health issues? i'd suggest you buy a new scale first, if the result is the same then seek medical health. Do your legs look swollen?

Jovialation, thank you girl, you look very good too and you make wonderfull progress. For sure i am not the girl on the first picture (i wished it was me), if you go on my profile you could see how i truly look. I would say that depending on your fitness level and body shape, anything between 115 to 135lb for our height…

5'3, weight 125lb:))) i lost 15 lb, i have 10 more to go:))) I think we make pretty much the majority of women in europe, canada, us!

I agree this time! ppl are lazy! lol they want quick fixes, but that's another topic of disc. :)

Actualy, i disagree. It's general knowldge, it's like knowing who Napoleon was. People are unhealthy because they don't know how their bodies work, and that's why we see them blaming their failed attempts on slow metabolism. It's discouraging when you work on smth with no help, and all those mixed messages are not helping.…

Actualy, studies show that overweight people have higher metabolism then slim ones. Also, most of people when writting their diaries underestimate by 40% their daily consumption! it means they eat snacks that they forget to write down or their portions are bigger then they wrote down. We are equal, so the only factor i can…

Hahaha, ok, a tip, you can introduce your own exercise! yes, i did it with certain exercises, cause i was tired to put pushups instead of crunches! Of course you can call it, extreme streching or smth, and let your friends wonder, hahaha! Cleaning 2 hours burns tons of calories and you feel very tired after, i put this in…
