Make sure that you warm up before you start and that you do stretching at the end. Try fitnessblender.com, they also have youtube videos. If you try pilates for core, it might be easier in your back.

Start with small changes, educate yourself about calories, substitute some foods and as you see changes in your body you will feel empowered to change. You can find videos on youtube to start for exercising, Leslie Sansone has a lot of walking videos in the Befit channel like this one.…

Do not be surprised if the weight goes up before it starts going down, especially if you are doing weights. Plus, salt in food at restaurants, TOM, etc might show a temporary increase. People usually lose a lot in the first weeks when they have a lot of weight to lose like 60 kg. Especially if you are near the normal range…

You can find different workouts of all levels on youtube. Try the Befit channel, or fitnessblender videos.

You can find it for free on youtube, all 3 levels. Great jump start. If you find it difficult, start with soup cans, or no weights at all.

You really look great and inspiring.

Question asked by friends as they embark in exercising at home and quitting the gym due to cost/never attending. What are the suggestions for adjustable weights, or to get 3-4 sets so a middle age couple, early 50s, both can use more to maintain muscle? I looked at stairmaster but at $399 is too expensive. Wife does at…

You can try Ensure, it is in all pharmacies, and Walmart etc in the pharmacy section. They give it to older people and those who are weak due to illness and it is both nutrional and increases the appetite. http://ensure.com/products

It looks very nice. Some more ideas since you kind of remind me now of Stockard Channing, many ideas for bangs http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=stochard+channing&id=01FB0FB62DCC8F4A248C92D27800596CC6B5E405&FORM=IQFRBA

You can download all 3 levels for free from youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Pc-NizMgg8 Download the "freeyoutubedownloader" from cnet.com and then you can download anything on your computer. You might also like the fitnessblender.com video which you can also fin don youtube

Great job!

Both of you look like you are 160lbs. Great work.

Yummy bump.

It is funny, I was just thinking that you would look great now if you let the bangs grow. When I looked at your sister's top photo was kind of what I was thinking. Or like Angie Harmon http://www.rex-fox.com/wallpaper/angie-harmon/angie-harmon-2261.jpg

You look great and way toned. Just drink a lot of water, eat lots of vegetables and fresh fruits, natural fats like olive oil and avocado or peanut butter, apply stretch marks cream at boobs/belly/hips/thigh areas even if you do not have any stretch marks yet, and increase, change some of your exercise workouts so your…

Yes you retain water. If you drink a lot of plain water, you will flush out the sodium from the pickle. I actually mix pickle brine and chopped pickles with Fage yogurt to eat as a low calorie salty snack and I can see my weight skyrocketing the next day.

GASTROENTEROLOGIST Run, ASAP. If you do not poop every other day, then that's not normal. BTW, overuse of laxatives also cause constipation. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/constipation/DS00063/DSECTION=causes

After your exams next week I would suggest that you go and see a therapist. You appear to have underlying issues related to your family and you should try to resolve them as early in your life as possible so they wont snowball.

You are 19 yrs old, what graduate school applications are you stressed about?

Rinse them well and then put them in a pot, cover with water, add 1/4 tb salt and let them boil on medium for ~ 45 min or until when you put a fork in they are soft like potatoes. Then rinse them with cold water or wait until they are cold, and peel the skin. Keep them whole, or cut in slices add vinegar and extra virgin…

Pilates should be fine for your back since they were designed by Pilates for people on a hospital bed. On the Befit channel on you tube, you can do any of Leslie Sansone to start, and then just browse what ever else the channel has. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0cE1jxDS3HY They also have fitnessblender videos which…

What about getting some sets of dumbells and do free videos from youtube like form the befit channel, or fitness blender? It would be like creating your own class gym.

Do not eat low fat salad dressings or mayo. Eat regular mayo, olive oil, etc and you would not have such high caloric deficit. Eat peanut butter or bread dipped in extra virgin olive oil, or fresh fruit like apples and grapes with cheese.

Try pilates, you can find free videos at fitnessblender.com or youtube. It will help you strengthen your torso and the muscles underneath so they can be nice and toned and when you lose the fat from your TOTAL weight loss. Moisturize the area every day with a stretch marks cream.

I agree with these 3 posts and men really start think like that when they hit midlife crisis age. Then the women wake up. But if they communicated to each other, they would have resolved the true problems of their relationship and have a better understanding of themselves.

How old are you? You can calculate your needs here. If you are maintaining, then find your TDEE and set mfp for that as your daily intake and then just log your exercise as 1 calorie. http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/

J, what's your height and weight? Detail what exercise you do and frequency, and for how long you have been doing these workouts?

It takes up to 2 years for the skin to tighten after weight loss. You should also hydrate the skin. Get a cream for stretch marks (look at the pregnancy section of the pharmacy) and apply around your stomach. Do also jacknife, v-ups, double leg hundreds, Russian twists, etc, not just weights, so you will tighten the lower…
