i am maily concerned with toning my abs besides crunches how can i accomplish this?

if i forget about the scale then and just focus on toning what kinds of weighlifting should i be doing? and do i still need to do cardio to burn more calories?

i burn anywhere from 2,200-3000 calories a day. i consume anywhere from 1,600-2,100 calories a day. almost all healthy food except the occasional treat

what kinds of weights should i be doing and how much weight?

thank you! you look amazing. if you dont mind me askin how many calories do you normally consume and what muscle toning exericises do you do? maybe i need to focus more on toning?

i just do not get it. i weigh the same as when i was eating wendys, and dairy queen, and going out to dinner all the time at applebees, italian resteraunts and chilis. now i gave that all up and eat out maybe twice a month if that and i do not lose. i know by eating healthier i am making my body healthier on the inside,…

i eat between 1,600 calories - 2,100 calories. i always feel full and satisfied. I know this is less than what i should be eating but it is more than i used to eat and is still a substantial amount i think. i am trying not eating after 8pm for a week to see if that does anything because i usually consume a large amount of…

thanks i do some weighlifting but i should probably do more. i just burn more doing cardio so i focus on that i guess

usually about once or twice a month. i dont really plan them out but i usually use them for dinner dates with my fiance. If i know i am going then i try to workout a bit more that day so i am not over my an insane amount, and i only do a cheat meal (dinner with dessert) and eat healthy the rest of the day. i always feel…

sound yummy! i will have to try it! thanks!!!

i am not here to pass judgments. i just feel bad for some of these people and when people says congrats or way to go to unhealthy eating they may think that it is a good thing and continue this cycle. I have battled eating disorders and i try to eat most of my calories and eat healthy. i know there are some exceptions to…

so is your bmr include ur sleeping time? do you track cals. burned for a 24hr period or just why you are up?

i have 2 of them. they are easy reference guids if you are going out to eat but other than that i do not really use them. They are interesting to look at though and see how high in calories some foods that we think are "healthy" are! if you eat out a bit then it might be worth buying, otherwise i wouldnt buy it. (someone…

thanks everyone! i am going to try spaghetti squash......i just went and picked one up! i will make the family regular spaghetti with noodles and have my squash because i do not think they will go for it!!! lol

how do you cook a spaghetti squash? after it is cooked do you just use it to replace the pasta and then make the rest of the dish as usually? with meat and red sauce? sounds different. i want to give it a try if anyone has any suggestions!

u only net between 200 and 1000 clalories a day? that seems low

i have increased my calories quite a bit with no results. i was netting around 1,000-1,200. now i net around 1,250-1,600. but still not close to what i am buring. maybe i should up it more? im just scared to eat more.lol eating more to lose is a strange concept to get used to. also i sometimes worry that if i eat to much…

i understand that but if i want to lose 1/2lb a week, if i am burning 2,800 calories then i should be consuming 2,550 calories and i am No where near that. i usually eat about 1,600-2,000 which is leaving me at a huge deficit most days. i just dont want to start eating garbage again (fries, burgers, pasta, ect). now that i…

i like to make hot cocoa with diet cocoa mix (25 cals) and unsweetened almond milk (1 cup=40cals). its yummy and the warmness makes me full for only 65 calories! and i like to cuddle up on the couch with it while i enjoy my shows at the end of the day

they sell zumba shoes on the zumba website. in general you do not want to use running shoes as these have a lot of tread on them. the less tread the better for zumba. it will help you not to stick to the floor when moving around and will help make ur legs and feet not hurt after ur workout. we just had this convo in zumba…

same issue! cw is 130 my gw is 120. no matter what i do i stay the same weight. i just started trying something new tonight to see if it will work. i dont get to eat alot during midmorning and afternoon so i end up consuming alot of my cals at night so i am going to not eat after 8pm for a week and see what happens. ill…

i workout on an empty stomach because i get horrible cramps if i eat anything before a workout. i workout first thing in the morining and then have a breakfast of egg beater, mixed with onion green pepper mushroom and reduced fat fetta cheese! it keeps me full and is full of protein. and it is the best breakfest ever!!!! i…

i have the same problem...i dont really pay much attention if it is coming from fruits or veggies though

i am 5'7 and weigh 130lbs. i feel like i workout pretty hard. i incorpate alot of hand movements to get my heart rate up and i am always covered in sweat when i leave. yet my bodbugg says i only burned 337 calories.

i just dont get to eat lunch until about 2 or 3. i am always worried about running out of calories by night so i try to plan but after dinner i usually have quite a few left so i figure i can use them right? my food log is open if you want to take a looksie and give me any thoughts. i am asking these 2 questions because i…

ok thanks everyone! that is what i thought but i was not sure

i have always loved healthy foods but also like junk food. i have noticed since i started to eat more clean and healthier foods i do not crave the junk hardly ever.

sounds delish! peanut butter is my ALL time favorite thing in the world but i do not eat it because i love it so much i cant eat just 2tbsp!!!! and it hinders my weight loss for some reason so i just dont buy it
