Oh yes the plateau Like everyone else has said I don't think that the calorie burn is correct for the elliptical make sure you are not eating back your exercise calories and weight train more muscle more calories burned.

Recovery drinks are for hard high intensity workouts I don't use them unless I have worked out for more than an hour at a high level or have burned more than 800 calories I love Endurox orange flavored does it make a difference I don't know but it gives me the confidence of knowing I'm replenishing my body with things it…

Lifting you don't need to do that but you should definitely add weights into your routine. The more muscle you have the more calories you burn its also going to keep (or at least help) you from getting osteoporosis . add some hand weights while you do those dance based classes

Yes you can't put a price tag on your health !!! I know people tend to pick on it because of the pizza thing but Planet fitness is cheap and don't forget that sometimes health insurances will reimburse you too . Also there's a ton of stuff on you tube for workouts (if you have space to workout at home I do not ) So glad…

The formula is simple calories in calories out fuel your body don't starve it get your 1200 hundred calories pack in the protein limit the carbs banish alcohol and artificial sweeteners and you will see the scale go down

I try not to eat back my exercise calories or at least not eat them all back depends on my day too if I have had a horrible day I will be careful to not eat back but if I have a good day and a hard workout I will eat them back

Run, Burpee and pick up heavy things that's all you need for training. My 2014 Spartan SPrint Race changed my life or I should say kicked my *kitten* ...I went in thinking I was in ok shape I was not but it got me set on a path of health and fitness if I lived out there I'd join ya but I don't :( I am going for my Trifecta…

starting here is definitely a step in the right direction but may not be enough. I would seek professional help with nutrition and exercise to make sure you are doing things right . I would recommend weight watchers it's a program that works and it's pretty easy to follow. I am excited to see your progress !!!! Good Luck…

It makes me sad that so many hate to exercise , my solution is to find something that's fun there's so much out there its not only good for you physically but mentally as well :(

If I don't have a plan I am extremely bored I follow the Spartan workouts you can get from their website and I collect various workouts I find on line I also take some classes like kickboxing, yoga,bootcamp , PIYO to mix it up ...

Out of the mouths of babes...truth hurts now do something about do it for him do it for you it's gonna be hard no doubt there will be bad days and then there will be good days it's a battle a constant one I have stopped and started so many times but finally found success I recommend weight watchers its a great program and…

Crank up the protien in your diet and kick it up at the gym your stronger than you think you are ...don't forget to weight train also dont forget to keep track of how your clothes feel you may lose inches and sizes and not see the scale budge

Beware of diet food they are often loaded with sugar and chemicals I will now opt for the real thing or do the Light version I realized this when my boyfriend pointed out the ingredients in the Trop 50 orange juice and I notice that with fat free milk my acne flairs up which I have seen other people complain about too .…

everything in moderation

You should talk to your OB I know for our patients who are pregnant and concerned about weight gain we refer them to a nutritionist and most of the time hey find it extremely helpful

I never have thought of it this way but I think you have hit the nail on the head!!!

Common sense is just not so common anymore ..I would move to another machine , steal one of those out of order signs and put them on the machines next to you? :) and then Id go to the gym's facebook page if they have one and complain !! Its so bad people should know better but sadly they dont

If you are on facebook you are welcome to join my motivational groups too (not selling any products ) I have 2 Let's Get Moving and Fitness fun with Erica

Ok first off I will say if you can afford it get a coach it made a world of difference for me( I did it for about 6 months) he helped me come up with a meal plan and workout plans.......I am guilty of overeating with the mindset "Oh its healthy food, clean eating !!! Its ok to have this or that its healthy" scale won't…

I need to step on the scale everyday to keep things in check

Height age and current weight and sedentary puts you at 2050 a day now if you want to lose weight 1899 a day if you want fast weight loss 1424 a day that is from a health and fitness magazine page if you eat clean (non processed foods) and cut carbs to only complex ones and exercise (raise your heart rate break a sweat)…

I have tried several and my favorite still is Herbalife doesn't sit in my stomach like a rock like the whey protien shakes some say herbalife is not he best product out there but I use it once a day for lunch I also dont mind the CORE products

So dumb wait Oh I get it

egg whites with spinach and mushroom some salsa to spice it up if you like and an orange this is my go to way to start the day when the wheels have come off the bus I also substitute a shake your choice I have tried them all right now I'm using a GNC product for lunch for dinner I choose lean meat veggies brown rice or…

For a short race like a 5k I don't do much as far as changing or increasing what I eat there is no need to carb load for a race that should take less than an hour but I do make sure I hydrate at least 3 days before the race my biggest fault as a runner is not warming up and cooling down need to work on this ..whatever you…

I'm really feeling your pain I have stepped up my running frequency and boy I am feeling it stretch and hydrate I make sure my after workout food is high protein and when that soreness is borderline pain I rest I ran 7.5 sat hiked 3 and biked 24 on Sunday monday was total rest for the legs tuesday was 5.6 run and wed. 3.1…

Ditch the treadmill and get outside I'm so much better outside I use the dreadmill as a last resort

You have to do it !!!! I am signed up for my first one OCT 4th and going to start a training plan on monday I do about 13 minute miles and the farthest distance so far has been a little over 5 so I got somework to do :)

thats just plain dangerous you could slip and fall on a pepperoni lol

I am a PF member and when I first saw your post I couldn't see the PF logo on the bottom but I knew immediately that oh this must be a planet fitness thing ...SMH...I admit it I go because its cheap I do not partake in pizza night or tanning which I can't for the life of me understand why clubs offer this ...now for a lot…
