Drink more water! It's hard for your body to flush fat without sufficient H20. Try upping your calories and workout some days! Try taking a rest day and eating more, and alternating days of cardio with weights. If you're only doing cardio you are burning calories but not building the muscle that it takes to burn fat.…

I would be careful if you're worried about going over your calorie goal since protein shakes are pretty dense.. if you're not feeling full I would spread leaner choices of protein throughout the day so you can eat more volume rather than condensing your day's worth of protein into one shake. If there's not really a problem…

Hahaha, painfully true.. My boyfriend figured that one out :wink: Now the poor sushi bars gonna go out of business.

I want to wear only heels and body paint. Glow in the Dark Body Paint. At a rave. 2 more months :happy:

Smack him up! No one has time for that ishh I would be utterly shocked if anyone said that to me. He's gaining and he says things like that? Tell him to keep his mouth closed, not only at the table but, more importantly, away from it..

I have the same problem!! I am pear shaped so my butt looks weird for my size/attracts unwanted attention. I'm 5'0" and was only a size 2 on top but 6 on bottom. :tongue: I am a dancer and I hated feeling weird before a performance or show. I went down 4 pants sizes but lost only 3lbs. I combine 45 mins of cardio everyday…

Noo way, anyone would be 50x better without him. He sounds needy and CONTROLLING. That's how my ex was anyway. I had the same problem but opposite, because he wanted to fatten me up. Either way that's deeply rooted psychological problem that many men have or have a tendency to turn to when faced with a strong, beautiful…

Spirulina is a protein source..?? I do use a lot of spirulina powder in smoothies regularly but I'm not sure how well that helps to build muscle?

Try doing some weight training in combination to revv up your muscles for cardio! Make sure you're getting a variety of exercises in. Maybe try a pilates class, biking, yoga, or a dance class to get a more upbeat and energetic workout! I'm a dancer, after every class or practice you can't help but feel more pumped up. The…

How long have you been exercising regularly? Are you new to doing a lot of cardio? I'm a runner but it took me about 3 weeks initially to get back into it after a period of laziness.. haha. But I've never felt sleepy! Try exercising in the morning and make sure you get enough fuel beforehand, preferably something with…

This was extremely helpful, thank you!! :smile:

Yeah I started doing that! And sort of clearing everything distracting out of sight, turning off lights, taking a hot bath, drinking tea, lighting candles even, haha. It really does help focus your mind on sleep. So if I burn about 450 calories with exercise my net is 1650 cals for the day? It's gonna take me a while to…

I've been on and off for about 5 years but I have been smoking regularly again for a year. How does the tylenol pm make sleeping worse? I can definitely say the same but did you learn that it was bad from experience or from a different source? Good to hear that you were able to quit and stick with it!!! Good job, I hope to…

Hahaha I think I made the smoking decision on my own, not for dietary or legal or moral reasons, that's not gonna change based on someone else's opinion :P But I do feel better about actually eating when I smoke which is the only upside. It kept me from getting any worse to be honest.

I don't know if depression would have very much impact on my sleeping patterns right now. I think it may be more to do with anxiety or nervousness rather than depression. Thank you, I think addressing the underlying issues may be more help than I think.

That's a good idea, combining the fiber and protein! Because when I do wake up I usually stick to only 1 or 2 small items high in fat because that's what I'm craving at the time. Usually ice cream or dairy. But maybe eating that right before bed should help.

The fitness calculator on here came up with 1200 calories for me! But that is even a little bit higher than I usually eat when I'm trying to lose. I'm 5' even and 107 lb.
