I exercise every day. My so called rest days are the two days a week that I focus on cardio only. As for weightlifting I follow the rule to give each bodypart at least 72 hours to recover. There is really no need to incorporate a day of no activity at all in your schedule unless you are on the verge of overtraining (which…

If you do not change your foodintake nor change your workout routine, you should be fine really. Antidepressants have the tendency to lower your appetite. There are however medicine known for weightgain due to changes in metabolism (Seroquel for instance). I do know people who gained weight while on antidepressants but…

Nuts and ricecakes with coconutoil and almondbutter........ Once every 2/3 weeks I'm like 'what the heck......' and stuff my face to the point that my belly looks totally pregnant :-))

That would be if she was adding weight, not losing. Fattissue takes up a lot more space than muscle while being the same amount of weight.

Can be some waterweight but not all. I would guess your losing lean mass while adding fat. The other way around you would add weight and lose cms. Since I can't read your fooddiary it's a guess though.

What is your workout regime like? Your diet? And your sodium intake? Could be a number of things.

You have been upping your calories way to fast. Your body needs time to adjust. Since you're not lifting heavy, I doubt that the weight comes from added musle mass..... Your exercise is not enough to get results. 15 - 20 minutes a day of which 2 times hitting the weights is not gonna get you far. I would trow in a little…

You are not just losing fat, you are also losing a lot of lean mass. Lean mass is what for the most part, is responsible for your BMR. The more lean mass you lose, the less calories your body requirs to function. Thus, on a certain point you will want to maintain your weight. In order to do so, you will have to keep on…

Sweet potatoes mashed with coconutmilk

Want it healtier? Trow out everything but the eggs and strawberries....

The huge caloric deficit puts a strain on your system and f*cks with your hormonelevels. That's where the emotional fluctuations come from. You should really make some other (better) choices....

As long as it seriously raises your HR and you start sweating heavily, it really doesn't matter what you do or where.

30 seconds sprint, 30 seconds recovery. Repeat

I suggest you change the ratio. Problem solved

It may be blunt, but he didn't tell you something you haven't told yourself. You are not ok with how you look and feel, so what are you gonna do about that? I guess I'm a terrible person too because when my husband put on 20lbs I also told him to do something about it. He's 13 years older then me, lost most of his hair and…

I don't cheat on crappy food because it makes me feel crappy and tired and makes me look bloated. I can go overboard on nuts though and go way over my caloric goal. It's no big deal for me since I workout every day. Wont beat myself up and wont go on a guildtrip. Nuts are good for you :)

Done it but in the end it doesn't work for me, feeling-fit wise. It did bring me down from 17% to 13% bf but on the low/no-days I felt like crap, no energy, no strength, training sucked. On the high-days I felt great but the next day the bloating was enormous. I guess it has something to do with how my body deals with…

Agreed. But wanting the full benefits of squating, instead of mainly targetting the quats, you should go full ROM. The weight you put on is secondary.

If it is your theoretical HR (220 - age) you'll be fine. If you want to be sure about the condition of your heart, go see your doctor :)

I get them from time to time. Always have. Afaik it's harmless. Wouldn't drink gatorade if my life depended on it but that's me. I try to avoid anything that makes my insuline spike in the way sugar does.

Yes.

Why stop half-way???

I do full ROM weighted squats. Works the whole body but especially glutes, like a charm! I also do crunches (full ROM, straight legs), planks and vacuums. Forgot the set/reps thingy. Mmmm, about 6-8 sets of 10-12 reps. If I have some energy left, I'll trow in some extra, if not I stop. Crunches 4 sets of 20 reps, planks…

Your BMR is the amount of calories you burn just to stay alive. You should multiply by an activity measurement. For a sendetery lifestyle multiply bij 1.2, for a very active lifestyle you multiply by 1.8. For most people who do some kind of sports 2/3 times a week, 1.5 should do.

I'm 41 and according to my son's friends (18-20) a MILF. At first my son was like 'That's my mum, shut up!' now he just agrees with them. I'm still in doubt whether I'm ambarrased or flattered.... :)

My body gives out at a certain point while my inner voice keeps saying 'you can do it, you can do it, you can do it!!!'

Deep wide-stand squats (*kitten* to the grass), hip thrusts, glutes machine. Don't fear the weight :)
