Are you wearing shoes? When I started I was not wearing shoes and I was getting shin splints. Now I wear shoes and I am fine!

I am getting married March 2014 - destination wedding! I have lost 36 lbs thus far. I want to lose another14lbs before the wedding. More importantly, I have been doing a lot of toning of the arms and under arms as I bought a strapless dress and hate the underarm fat look! LOL!

I think we may all think of Tabata training as something different. This is what I consider tabata and what I also found online. Any exercise can be incorporated into the Tabata training. However the basic outline of the Tabata training method are as follows: • 4 minutes long (whole Tabata Session) • 20 seconds of intense…

My trainer does it at the gym. I do 20sec of pushups full out, 10 sec rest 8 rounds. By the end if you pushed hard enough you should hurt!! Usually it feels like my muscles are trying to rip out of my arms. She also does 20 sec of jump squats, 10 sec squat hold. 8 rounds. Again, I am in pain.

How about a grocery store - should they throw out all their 'bad food' because you will eat it too?!

The only issue is i think she knows i was planning that, as she's still reminding me the dress is going to in her little hands until the day before the wedding. Hoping mum will tell her i've gained weight and i need to try it on again... Then we'll get it altered <.< >.> Feels a little bad sneaking around though =( i need…

The cheapest trainer at my gym is $50/hour. I think they goes as high as $120/hour

Try having foods that are higher in protein. My gym suggests 100g of protein minimum a day. When I started doing this I noticed I am full!

I do bootcamp 3-4 times a week and LOVE it! Depending on how it is done, you can get great results. I am definitely toned up! My arms are very toned (a lot of kettlebell, pushups, TRX rows). My legs/thighs are firmer too. (a lot of squats, jump squats, lunges, split lunges, TRX tucks, TRX atomic pushups, etc) Bootcamps are…

I do 4 bootcamps a week. During the bootcamp the trainers kick my butt with cardio (ladders, butt kicks, sprints) and a mix of TRX (rows, pushups, planks, atomic pushups, squats) and also floor pushups, squats, jump squats, planks, burpies, wall sits, kettlebell, medicine ball work, situps etc. I LOVE LOVE LOVE it! Find a…

Looks awesome! I tried it BUT unfortunately it is only for US or UK :(

I want to be 10 for sure, possibly an 8.

You have to go by what you feel and your boss's rules/school rules are. I am a teacher as well and we are not allowed to wear yoga pant, or even jeans throughout the week. We can only wear jeans on Friday if we make a donation to the charity our school supports. With that being said, it is my school's policy and school…

I wouldn't worry about it unless it is happening all the time. Most of the summer I lost .5 -1.5lbs a week which is good. Suddenly this week I lost over 4. As long as it is not happening all the time, I am not worried. When you consistently lose 4 pounds per week that is too much. I aim for 1-2 lbs a week.

I am on day 17 of 30 day shred. I have been doing it every night. My plan for the video is 10 days L1, 10 days L2, 10 days L3 and then take 2-3 days off and restart. I have lost 8lbs already. (Mind you, I am also going to my gym at least 3 days a week and eating healthy)

I have had this happen before. Basically what happens is real estate agents and house flippers buy houses in sought after areas so they can do some improvements and then sell it off for profit. Also, they have customers who are wanting in particular neighbourhoods and thus this happens.

As far as the gym goes - he will go if he wants. I ask my fiancé to join me (as we have a family plan) but he has been working crazy amounts lately so he often says no. This way he knows I want him to come with me, but there is no pressure. He will come when he is ready and willing.

My fiancé does not always like the healthy options I cook. I love chicken breast and veggies, he hates chicken and is picky on his veggies. I simply cook what I want to have and then throw in a different option if he is not going to eat it. For example, if I want chicken pitas, I will cook two chicken breasts, but he likes…

Your day sounds like mine! I burned 1356 calories today. I haven't had pizza in so long. My husband went and got pizza hut pizza, bread sticks, and cinnaparts. I enjoyed some of everything!

From Ontario, living in Nova Scotia now!

Drink water water water! P.S. you look like Kerry Washington in 'Save the Last Dance' in your profile picture!

Thanks! I do shop in the states sometimes so I will check out Newmans own. The farmer's market was a good suggestion too! Thanks!

Buy egg whites not eggs?

Make sure you get the most out of your calories. Fill up on fruits and veggies and things that will keep you full. Some say a calorie is a calorie however, think about how many calories are in a few chips versus how many are in a large salad. Which will keep you fuller longer? I also sometimes mix chia seed into my water.…

You're on the right track. Bananas and water intake are said to help. When you wake in the morning and your leg(s) still hurt, try rolling them with a rolling pin. It helps to relax your muscles.

This sounds simple BUT have you ever tried upping your fibre? I find once I added a LOT more fibre to my diet I felt much better. Flax seed, chia seed, kashi products, strawberries, pears, raspberries, blackberries have a lot of fibre.

Usually in myexperience gyms offer a 'set-up' program whenyou join. 1_2 sessions with a trainer to get you started. I like you get bored of cardio on the machines. I choose to take the classes offered. This is my sample week . . . Mon. Step class, weights in gym Tuesday. Spin class Wed. Cardio kickboxing - it also includes…

Spin Class! High Intensity, low impact. I burn about 400 calouries in 40minutes!
