Watch the green coffee bean extract. I've had friends who took it and wound up gaining weight in the end.

The first thing you have to do is stop second guessing yourself. If you feel its right, GO FOR IT. Working for yourself isn't easy. You have to build up your own clients and believe in what you are saying and doing for them and they need to believe you. You have to be able to talk to total strangers and say,. Hey I can…

I log whatever I am. If I gain or lose because I need to be accountable and by doing that I"M ACCOUNTABLE

Add egg whites and mix it up to make protein pancakes. They are pretty tasty when you're on a hardcore diet.

Are you planning on taking any supplements to speed up your muscle gain?

protein pancakes and steak is a no brainer. lol:happy: :laugh:

Shin splints are a terrible thing. Taking supplements such as Glutamine for recovery and Hyaluronic Acid with MSM will help support your joints, ligaments and tendons. Also after your run, sit down to stretch and actually rub your thumb along the medial side of your shin bone to help move all the lactic and uric acid out…

I'm a Christian. Good luck on your journey.

You only live once, so friggin' GO FOR IT!!!!

DETOXing will help your body get started. Then go on a fruit and veggie and whole grains for three days and then start your low calorie diet. It's kind of the reset button for our bodies so it knows you mean business. and plenty of WATER Good luck

ICEBREAKERS - sugar free hard candy to control my sweet tooth. ONE is a friggin' serving size at 5 calories. WHO CAN EAT JUST ONE?

INCREDIBLE!!! YOU are an inspiration and proof that we can all get OFF the couch and DO something about ourselves. No one is excused!!! WAY TO GO AND KEEP UP THE FANTASTIC JOB :bigsmile:

Women here and I eat every three hours. Some of us get it. Some of choose to not get it but if you have your head in the sand anything you advice won't be heard anyway. Keep typing. You never know who you might get through to.:wink:

GO FOR IT! Cheat days are so important on so many levels. Your body is recovering from having an intense week of strength training.. Micro tearing all of your muscles in the gym and they need to recover. A cheat day helps that happen. The other reason is mental recovery. You need to eat what you find enjoyable so you can…

Take up running. It changes your life. If you can go running and get past that moment when you want to quit and get to the runner's high you can use that inner strength to conquer anything that comes your way. Bonus. the endorphine kick will help you combat the depression. Even if you start out slow. 1 min run.. 2 min walk…

I say you're not working out hard enough if you're not making a freakin' noise!!!! Don't make the sirens go off. Bloody Hell! All joking aside. If you can't afford a PT to help you then I think you're doing the right thing for the moment. Getting a plan, even a "cookie cutter" one as someone said above is better than not.…

Sleep is crucial for our HGH release so our bodies can heal and it's equally important for our metabolism. I love to get nine but can tolerate seven. If I get less than seven, I can really feel it. My muscle recovery from working out is down and my metabolism isn't happy as well. I also notice I have more water retention…

Thanks for sharing your story with us. It's very inspirational

I use to get it and figured out a way to heal myself. GINGER Powder in some water after you eat. and Aloe Vera to heal your insides. These two things did the trick for me.

That looks YUMMY

Please feel free to add me. I'm 41 and losing some baby weight. Losing weight and getting back into to what I call "softball" shape so I would be more than happy to help motivate...

Fat gets stuck to the fascia layer in our bodies and it's stubborn so all you need to do is unstick it by getting a massage therapist or yourself to pull on this area all around your waist and unstick it. It will look great after you get this kind of treatment done. I do this technique on so many clients and it works.

Looks like you've gotten some good advice. Drinking juice from a lemon in warm water first thing in the morning will help your hunger as well as adding Yerbe Matte drink to your day will curb your appetite.

You can do it. Hang in there girl.

Hazel, Muffin tops are rough. Best thing you can do is find a Massage Therapist in your area that actually does MyoFascial work. You or the Massage Therapist can actually start picking up that layer that sits between your skin and muscle and bone structure callled fascia and unstick it girl. It will bring blood in to the…

Buy yourself some protein and make some protein pancakes by adding an egg per scoop. You prob. won't have to worry about anyone messing with it. lol Max Muscle has a great selection and flavors. Veggies from a wholesale store are priced pretty good. How about frozen items and in bulk so if they do eat some, you will still…
