This is exactly why we have a support system in this website.. If you feel stressed out, please talk to your friends.. and take time to write a post.. It helped me a lot when I was in a similar situation..

Eat whatever makes you feel better!! You cannot starve while sick.. try to stay away from processed food

To answer #1, even if you are below your calorie limit, you can build lean muscle by eating enough protein and good fat and strength training(planks, weights, TRX etc). This of course means you will be eating a limited amount of carbs to stay within your goal... #2, yes, body weight exercises like squats, push ups and…

Pocono mountains are great and you can find value for money too. There are plenty of ski resorts... Other than than Vermont has a few nice ski resorts

I believe thats a good ratio. I like to mix it up on the same day. I use a schedule something similar to this: http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/kris-gethin-12-week-daily-trainer-week-1-day-2.html I start with cardio on a treadmill or elliptical for 15 mins. Then go do strength traing for 45 mins. In between each set(example…

I love eggs in the morning. Eggs or egg whites with cheese.. For snacks, I eat sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, almonds or walnuts or a berry.. gives me good fiber. As far as workout, try to get some weight/strength training,. Cardio is ok, but strength training will build muscle and that will help in burning fat. It all…

Great.. I need to lose a total of around 80 lbs, already lost close to 70. Sending FR

Its really up to you... We wanted to have a kid and it make sense to have a dad and mom at the house for the kid. I have a great marriage but trust me our kid helps us to be better!!

Thanks. Brings me to question #2: I dont eat too much meat because my wife is a vegetarian.. so i am thinking of getting a protein powder/supplement to reach my protein goals. My goal is just to lose fat and build Lean muscle and not bulk. What type of protein powder/supplement should I get?

Can you open up your diary? I had the same problem, what I did was completely cut carbs for a day or two and eat a lot of protein, seems to kick start the weight loss to me, I add the carbs gradually afterwards and keep them in check,.

Try Soya beans in your cooking. Also for snacks, get walnuts, pistachios, almonds, pumpkin and sunflower seeds and they are a great source. You can try kidney beans(rajma), black beans for cooking. Oh, if you like edamame, that a good source too

Agreed. I had a problem being a morning person I was able to change it because I forced myself go to bed at 9. It takes a week or so but once your body gets adjusted you'll feel a whole lot energetic. I suggest also having a early dinner say before 7 PM , if after 7 PM try to eat light. That has helped too. Again, its…

I hit a similar situation a few months ago, and was able to come out of it with the below changes 1. Sleep: Get 6-8 hours of continous sleep preferrably between the same hours everyday 2. Water: Drink atleast 7-8 cups of water not including the work out water 3. Carbs: I completely cut carbs (almost) for a weekend(3 days).…

I am in the same boat (20 min walk to work). One day I used my HRM to measure the calories burned and used that as a ballpark to log everyday.

Are you stretching enough after the workout? Make sure the body is nicely warmed up before exercising and stretch all your muscle groups after exercise. This is will help avoid or reduce soreness.

Do more exercise. Try to burn at least 500-600 calories a day so that it gives you a nice cushion on your daily diet.. You dont have to starve then
