  • As opinionated as I am, I would say something. I wouldn't necessarily try to all out argue though, but I would make my point. There are ways to sneak in healthy stuff with kids. Get your sister some Gerber snacks. They have dried yogurt snacks that have fruit and veggie servings in them, and just tell her it's like candy.…
  • I do a few things... While eating out, I separate my food as soon as it comes to the table and put it in containers. That way, I eat what I can there and take home the rest. When I eat each meal, I only eat enough that will get rid of hunger pain. I don't eat until I am stuffed because that would mean I have eaten too…
  • Oh doll, you don't need a gym to exercise! I was telling my bestie that he could get exercise just by walking (cardio) and doing pushups, lunges and squats! Of course with stretching, he would be getting a complete workout: No gym needed!!! I understand how you feel when you mention about not seeing a difference. The only…
  • If you can find ways to modify the moves with the bands and still maintain proper form, then I don't see why you shouldn't be able to. You just have to adjust the move to where it works with the band. I'm doing TapouT XT right now, and use resistance bands with it. Although they come with it, I could always choose to use…
  • You can do it girl!!! You just have to eat! Try your hardest not to eat work food because it is seriously high in sodium. There's no need to drink so much water. 8-10 glasses should be sufficient to keep you hydrated and help you lose. Definitely get back into the swing of things with exercise. You are active right now…
  • It could just be water retention. When you touch the bloat, does it feel squishy like in your muscles or more soft like fluff? If it is fluffy, it could be hormones doing that to you. It's always good to drink a little more water with both. Also, have you taken a rest day yet? If not, then definitely do so. That could be…
  • I take them in my workout clothes... Normally a sports bra and shorts. I take them with a tank on over the sports bra, too, so I can see a difference in the shirt after a month of working out.

  • Every person burns calories at a different rate. It depends on your lifestyle: what you do daily, how much lean muscle you have, how much you consume and WHAT you put into your body, and your chemistry. To answer your question on how much you burn, try using different HRMs to measure how many calories you burn per minute…

  • Personally, I don't see how it would be inaccurate during a weight training session if it measures heart rate. Your heart does still pump while training, just as it does with cardio, only at different speeds. It isn't measuring oxygen, so it cannot differentiate between an anaerobic and aerobic activity.

  • Stretch more. Eat more protein (especially right after the workout), drink more water, and eat cherries. That's what I do, and I rarely have soreness, even when exercising again after days/weeks of being sedentary.
  • I've been using my HRM for the past week, and noticed that is seems to be fairly accurate whether I am doing cardio or wt. Last week, I only burned a little over 115 calories with 15 minutes of TapouT ab exercises. Tonight, right after doing about 45 minutes of TapouT Cardio (which burned about 500), I did the same ab…

  • One thing that has helped me lose during a stall (and believe me, I was stalling for awhile) was to vary my calories each day. You can focus on your TDEE, but to keep your body guessing and metabolism revved, eat a variety of calories per day. One day eat typical, then the next eat lower. Try to have a higher day near the…
  • Oh wow! What a tremendous difference!! WTG! :)
  • WTG!!!! Keep up the great work! You have made a wonderful commitment to get through these weeks, and the more stick with it, the more success you will have. :) I may be a stranger, but I am sincere when I say I am proud of you! It's wonderful to know that other people put effort into their goals and it pays off. It's…
  • You can add me too! I don't have many friends on here since I created a new account. Been very active on here the last couple of weeks and will continue to do so for awhile. I'm an exercisaholic and love to give/receive tips and advice! I'm also a SAHM and student, so I get to check in frequently. Good luck and look…

  • Completely agree!!! Great idea about the sugar free syrup. I need to try that, being that I am constantly craving sweets. :S
  • I mix mine with Greek vanilla yogurt, or will dip them in caramel, butterscotch, honey, cool whip, or pudding. Love my sweets! Everything in moderation? :P

  • I do something different. If it is eating, then I eat something I haven't tried before. If it is getting tired of the same exercise, then I do another exercise (more than likely outdoors since I workout inside most of the time.) If it is negativity and stress from the people around me, I get away from them and focus solely…
  • Okay... After thinking about this for a little while, I guess that I can say some of the funniest I have heard was in Full Metal Jacket where the Drill SGT was in their faces at the beginning of Basic. I'm not going to repeat the lines, but if anyone has ever seen it, that guy is hilarious!
  • Half True! I shoot pool with my left, drive, and can throw with my left, but write with my right. TNP likes to smile.
  • For women, I guess the abs would be since that is where my main focus is for myself. For men - a few! Arms (both Bi/tri), abdominals, and low back. There's just something about the lower back that gets me.... :)
