Me too!!! Need friends for motivation and accountability! !! I had previously lost 100 pounds and took a 6 month hiatus from gym and am back and need all the help to stop myself from talking myself out of exercise.

Hi charissa! This site is great as it helps quoth accountability and motivation. I am also back from a 6 month hiatus in a new gym do with a new routine.

Hey! ! A uni student from London. I have gained almost a stone since joining the uni and now have a started my weight loss journey again. Still difficult to get the intensity I was used to back home.

I am 5'2" and at the peak of my fitness went down to 110 and ever since I moved to a new city, I seem to maintain 120-125 with low exercise and not a strict diet. Now, I want to get back to my awesome shape where I needed no spanx for bodycon dresses!! I look fine but I really want to look skinny. also my hips are…

Thank you so much! Yes I did lose the weight and since it took me almost 2 years, I dont have that much loose skin. But my back fat is stubborn and stubborn and stubborn. I am 5'2" and I am not too bothered about the number except that something should happen with my new diet. I have started the following: Pre workout:…

I do lift heavy and yes, you can't spot reduce. But I have read and heard people at my gym talk about fat burners taken along with protein shakes. I take a basic isopure soy protein. So there is absolutely no use of fat burners?

So is there any solution to this soft skin? Since I am not eligible for surgery :/ I can just keep working on building muscle.

By strength training I mean I lift weights and do heavy reps. And my loose skin is not loose enough for surgery because I lost the weight slowly so the only option my PT suggests is toning, building muscle and increasing my protein intake. Which I have been doing, but i see no results except in my arms, they have amazing…

I get around 1200 calories day and as such i am 5'1" and 128 pounds so i feel that's enough for my frame

my dietary fat is real low, yes. I don't know if that's whats causing the problem/

wow! Thanks. It helped a lot! And now I understand the bit about protein shakes as well. There's just so much negativity about them especially for women that its gets a bit overwhelming

My trainer doesnt think I am. But I need to know how exactly do I calculate that so that I know for sure myself.

This is what I am confused about. I have read so many side effects of artificial protein. My daily protein sources include: 4 egg whites 1 bowl bowl lentils 1 chicken breast. Is that suffice?

The best part about being a woman is that the lack of testosterone will prevent any ugly growth of "bodybuilder" types muscles. With adequate strength training you will have great toned muscles. I am a small woman, around 5 feet and a gym rat, almost 5-6 days for two hours. My routine has a cardio in intervals with…

I am 23! Add me and lets motivate each other!!

Yes I agree. And my tiny I mean, short. I want to get toned muscles and I know I need to eat more. I do consistent weight training as well but coming down from being an obese, my mind just doesn't adjust to eating more part and now I get confused about the foods I need to eat. There is always a fight with food in my head…

God!! Me too!! I have been on this annoying plateau for the past 3 weeks and then injured my tail bone, so no gym sessions and its annoying me and I am losing my motivation so bad!!!

Hi I am Samaira. I am 5'1.5" and was 264 at my heaviest and now weight 133. My BMI is still on overweight and I am trying to get down to 110-120, the ideal weight for my height. Have been stuck in the 130s for some time now and it gets frustrating. I usually eat around 1200 calories, get 4-5 days of hour long workouts. Any…
