  • I would say you are not eating enough. You should try following a cycle of burn days and then refeeds. I just read a great article about that. Also, what kinds of foods are you eating? Not all calories are created equal. How much veggies are you eating a day and how much water are you drinking? What about your fiber intake?

  • Yes, squats, lunges, deadlifts....use weight to tear down the tissue and rebuild it!

  • I would say do 20 minute high intensity interval cardio after you have done weights. You should do 3 sets of 10-12 reps to failure...so pretty heavy. This will help break down your tissue to rebuild it. When you have more lean muscle mass you will look much leaner and you will burn more calories at rest.

  • Thanks for this post! I was wondering the same thing! With the foam can you get your back very well? Last year I used Neutrogena Spray tan, but the spray nozzle kept breaking....very frustrating!

  • I have twins that are 4 and a 2 year old. When I started my journey I had a treadmill at home. So, I would do interval training on the treadmill for 20-30 minutes while the kids napped.

  • I would say to try to eat more quality calories. Skip the fast foods, and convience items. Have a complex carbohydrate and protien at each meal. Try to eat 5-6 small meals. Think of have a fist and a half amount of food on your plate as a meal...not counting veggies. Some ideas, Egg whites Lean chicken breast Tuna Oatmeal…
