  • Shocking your system is a good way to keep it working. If you are plateauing, do something out of the ordinary to remind your body of its goal. Dazza_098 has some pretty smart ideas. Or what you could do is eat some bad stuff one day so your metabolism will fight it off and then get back on track. A lot of people have…
  • Your body needs to eat after a workout in order to burn the fat. Yeah you burned off the calories and that's great but without fuel your body cannot burn off the fat which is the ultimate goal for some people. It depends on how you replace the calories. If you replaced your calories with healthy foods, it won't really…
  • Try to get your metabolism to work. I don't know when you eat breakfast but the time of your first meal after waking up does affect how your hunger will be the rest of the day. Breakfast is very important because it keeps your metabolism working and if your metabolism is working, you will get hungry when you need to (and…
  • Congratulations!!! One question, if you do not mind me asking. You said that you tried to lose weight before, so what's the difference from then to now?
  • I want to get into running but first I'm trying to build up my endurance and cardio; that way, I can last a little longer and not get discouraged.

  • This is one of the reasons why its harder for girls to lose weight than it is for guys. =(
  • MoreBean13 has a point. Your body needs to eat or else it will hold on to the fat you currently have. Think of it as a car, if you don't fuel it up, how far do you expect it to run? Leaving the tank at empty or near empty is not good. Are you feeling weak in anyway? Another reason is that your body could have adapted. If…
  • I think it depends on your body. If you are a beginner its best to go 3x a week since your body is not yet used to the demand and intensity. You can eventually build up to 5-6 times a week, even 7 if that is your style but I think that your body needs at least one to two days of rest to recover. Overall it depends on your…
  • If anything, it might affect the number on your scale by a little bit because it does help fuel your muscles. So as the muscles get stronger, you tend to gain weight (but not body fat). I don't think its really anything to worry about because in the long run; that protein will help you burn off fat.
