That makes no sense at all. He always had abs, we all do... it's part of being human. He merely got a tad bit leaner (he was already lean) which made them more visible and added a small but reasonable amount of muscle. He looks great!

This is where my caveman-like qualities come in handy. I'm pretty much oblivious to almost everyone in the gym because I just don't care what any of them actually think; I don't need validation. That need for validation should have taken a nosedive back in high school which is all about validation. I can see how a newbie…

Looks great; lots of healthy fats and fiber. It seems unusual for a caveman like me but I'm certainly willing to try it myself.

I knew this girl once who "over-toned" herself... and the doctors said it was actually dangerous for her and there was nothing she could do because she had "inner-toning" already at which point it's irreversible. Be careful with the toning!!!!

Actually the vibrational technology has been scientifically proven to stimulate deep fiber exercise resistant neuro pathways that typically amplify in chromosomal density due to the gyrational pattern of molecular fusion that can ONLY be bought to fruition through the advanced shake weight technology!

Eat more healthy fats, nuts, avocados and oily fish as well as possibly adding some coconut oil or macadamia nut oil to your current meals. Also, there are meal replacement drinks that can make it super easy to get more healthy calories in with a quick smoothie.

I hope it wasn't one of those two inch curtsies people try to pass off as squats. I call them the squat rack shuffle.

Quoted for truth. Strength is relative. Tell a 45 lb child that squatting 45 lbs should be easy; it's a bodyweight squat for the kid.

Looks like some of you guys should take a hint:

Weight loss is a long road. By the time you're bikini ready that boyfriend of yours may not even be in the picture and that 80 lb ***** might not be in the picture; thus your motivation will be gone. Do it for you. Do it for the future you, whoever happens to be there with you will enjoy the new you with you.

I have no idea what an "under eating class" is and the words "proper calories" are equally ambiguous. I don't know what you define as "lightly active" or "active". Neither are actual goals but instead, they seem to be pathways "to goals". I'm assuming you want to lose weight but just didn't come right out and say it. Any…

I've greatly reduced cardio but still do some quick HIIT cardio. I also do some PS3 move games that are like HIIT (much more fun that regular cardio). I have done as much as 2 hrs of cardio a day in the past and it was literally taking me apart. I reduced it to 90 minutes and then 50 and now about 20 min of interval…

I grind up an ounce of almonds to stir into my oatmeal with some splenda. I also eat half a dozen eggs, cheese and some turkey bacon or sausage with 3 oz of chicken but that last part isn't necessary for most of you. All that protein, fat and fiber keep me full for hours.

This jar of peanut butter has your name all over it: Also how about some fish oil gel caps, coconut oil, eating more salmon or throwing some tasty olives in your regular meals, i.e. chicken, steak, etc.

Fat doesn't turn into muscle; this is physiologically impossible. Much like wood isn't going to turn into gold. Two different tissues. The OP didn't mention anything about her diet and typically that's the problem. You can't out exercise a bad diet. Bad diet = one without any strategy to get you where you want to go.

You seem a bit overwhelmed. Try smaller goals. You may consider making "the process" a lifestyle instead of a temporary situation that you can't wait to end. Ultimately it's your relationship with food that must change. Drastic changes are doomed to failure. Baby steps at first. Get some momentum going then march boldly…

I think you meant "muscular women" since you'd have to actually do something to show strength and some women who don't look very muscular at all, are strong. I'll even go further and say that you probably mean lean women since at that point you can see some of the muscle that would ordinarily be under that fat on most…

Anything that keeps me from the very specific goal I'm chasing after, i.e. getting leaner. My calorie goals vary and change with weight and different dieting strategies. I'm not sure what you mean by "healthy eating". If you mean eating less processed food realize that all of your food, even the apples are processed.…

Use them together like peanut butter and chocolate. For added resistance use resistance bands on your squats, deadlifts and bench presses. It makes the latter part of each concentric rep (the positive portion {the part where you fight gravity usually by lifting stuff up}] more difficult and the eccentric portion (negative…

My brother's in the Army. He's 6 foot 1 and at one point weighed in at about 280-290. Before he even officially enlisted he used strength training, cardio and of course diet to drop down to about 220. In boot camp he dropped down to about 209. Every since then (about 3 yrs) he's been under 220 though he's extremely lean at…

Did you not like my advice? I was siding with you...

What's a nutrishionist? I think you meant nutritionist. Either way you spell it you've just made the "Argument to Authority"; someone you feel is an authority about something made a statement that you've given credibility to based on their credentials rather than an understanding of the underlying biological mechanisms and…

The toughest exercises are the most beneficial so keep doing them. Breathing heavy during exercise, sweating, panting, nausea, discomfort, etc. are all part of the package. Suck it up! Did you really think it was supposed to be a brisk walk amongst the tulips?

Here's a question right back at you: are you getting leaner? If your answer is yes then why change anything and if you aren't then you've got to look for some adjustments to get you back on track so yes a bit less wine may help.

HIIT cardio. Sprinkle a few sessions thoughout the week and that last bit of fat will drop off if you're in a caloric deficit. Also, you might try "Carb Nite". I hear people are getting great results from it.

Dry since how long you cook it for and how much water it absorbs will vary but what will NOT vary is the original dry weight. If your goal is accuracy then you remove variables that could effect the weight, you don't add variables, i.e. water weight absorbed.

It's tough to comment without any actual numbers to work with but when people mention that they're going "low carb" I immediately ask them if they're getting enough fat. You're going to need one or the other and you can't "just eat protein". When many people low carb they dramatically drop their caloric intake because…

Video or it didn't happen. Case closed.

Rub two and I must emphasize only two limes counterclockwise on the belly area the day after (not before) a full moon. This should be done in the early morning hours whilst contemplating your oneness with nature. I have dozens of testimonials to confirm the effectiveness of this claim so don't be discouraged.

If that's the actual breakdown then I'm going back to sleep... it's not worth being conscious for.
