Under the myhome tab you can change it under goals

Another less expensive but effective option would be to become a beach body coach. Check out my friends site, he has been really successful with it and it's how he got his start. They offer all the support you need and it's a great way to get contacts and earn money without a huge investment. michaelevansfitness.com

Depends what part of it (or all aspects) you are interested in. NASM and ACE are the top two to get your CPT from. They are both highly regarded in the industry. If you want to work in a gym they require that you are certified. Once you have your CPT you can get into more specialized certs as well like CES (corrective…

That is incorrect, they can occur simultaneously but it takes knowing how to fuel your body properly to do so. This is actually the healthier option to bukling and cutting but it's a much longer and more difficult process.

I don't do anything sugar free or fat free. Instead I switched from liquid to powder. Much less calories

This is exactly what I try to teach people all the time. Weight loss doesn't happen overnight, it doesn't come from a pill and it sure as hell takes work. All I ever hear is one excuse after another. I don't have time, I can't afford to eat healthy or clean, I don't like to cook....the list goes on and on. If you're not…

Breakfast is always 16 ounces of water, 4 egg whites, 1/3 cup of plain oatmeal, 12oz cup of coffee with 1 spenda and 3 teaspoons of powder creamer, Multi-vitamin, vitamin C and fish oil. Sometimes I will do fasted cardio at 4:30am and breakfast after and other times I will do my cardio after my workout. My workouts are…

wow - so amazing! Congrats!

Oh how I wish I was coming up on my 10 year...this year is my 20 year reunion....eeeek! You look fabulous :-) Congrats!

yup, it's a royal pain. Most jeans I'm a size 2/3 but some I am a size 4/5. I can't shop at Limited because their smallest size falls off of me...WTH is that all about. I am not smaller than a 00. It's all vanity sizing. Victoria's Secret stuff, sometimes I'm an XS and other times a S. They make you think you are smaller…

Do ball squats against the wall. Push through your heals not your toes. Try doing 3 sets of 50 with no weight. Your quads will burn, if not then hold some dumbbells in each hand. http://www.acefitness.org/acefit/fitness_programs_exercise_library_details.aspx?exerciseid=69

I'm 5'1" pre-pregnancy weight 144lbs weight right before delivery with each kid 200lbs back to 144lbs withing a few months but then gained and my heaviest was 151lbs not pregnant Current weight 125 Goal weight - I'm happy now but I've been as low as 118lbs and was definitly leaner. Always a game to see what I can do with…

I always take lunch with me rather than eating out. Usually it's chicken or fish with some sort of green veggies and maybe a little rice, sweet potatoes, wheat bread or oatmeal.

Ok, so here is how I see it. If he is not happy with your weight now, he never will be and while you have a great connection in every other aspect, this being a deal breaker for him will always haunt the relationship. I do not believe he is an *kitten* as some have said. He is upfront and honest and that's not the same as…

I saw a 5lb Hershey Bar at Target during the holidays...it was awesome and no I didn't buy it but I sure wanted to!

I step on the scale every morning, keeps me in check! :-) Check my body fat about every few weeks to make sure it's also in check :-)

Wow - you look awesome! Congrats

First I purchased a bodybugg I immediately started doing 40 minutes of cardio 7 days per week I Starteg logging my meals and made sure I was in a 1,000 calorie deficit each day (If I burned 2,200, I ate 1,200. If I burned 2,500, I ate 1,500 and so on) *NOTE - MFP and some people here on MFP do not agree with a deficit this…

yes because I LOVE IT!!!!

You have to choose your food wisely. Certain foods don't keep you full long enough to make it to the next meal time. I was never hungry when I cut my calories in the begining.

I think "good for them" can't wait to see the changes they will go through :-)

any fiber drink is good. I use metamucil daily but if you want higher fiber content, try Fiberlyze.

I've been working out for several years and I have a set of powerblocks that go up to 50lbs each (I've never used above 30lbs each and probably never will). I have an incline/decline bench with preacher curl attachment and an easy curl bar with 2/25lb weights, 2/10lb weights, 4/5lb weights and some 2.5lb weights as well.…

If you can hit 12 reps for 3 sets without a problem it's an average lifting day... increase your weight so you can do roughly 8-10 reps max for 3 sets but you are struggling to get those last 2 - 3 reps on your last set. That is what I consider a heavy lifting day. Keep doing this and your max weight will increase over…

I get super tired in general for about 3 days leading up to it and as much as I don't want to work out, I know that when I do, I end up feeling better. I do feel that my workouts are not as productive but it's still better than sitting on the couch and eating junk food (which is what I really would rather do) LOL

I hate to say it but the longer the belly fat is there, the less likely you are to get the skin to tighten up. Genetics plays a big part and so does time but if the skin is stretched out too long, no matter if you get rid of all the fat, the skin will not go back to it's original state. :-(

In my backyard - June 2011

Stop buying it! If it's not there you won't drink it. If you are out to dinner, order ice tea!

Count calories, measure portions (they go hand in hand) :-)
