  • I can tell you from experience DON'T DO SQUATS to build a booty. Squats are quad dominant. You need glute dominate exercises...single leg glute bridge, hip thrusts (a must!!!), frog pumps, short stride walking lunges (don't take huge steps, and keep your knee over your toe), donkey kicks (put weight in your "leg pit" and…

  • I totally agree. When in doubt, use calorieking.com to double check the numbers. I find it's close about 98% of the time.

  • Mine do the same thing. I just loosen the laces, that helps a little. It also helps to have shoes designed for running. Not just any tennis shoe.

  • I try to stay away from the cereals, even though I could have it every day for every meal, because it has loads of carbs in it. It's best to have a high protein breakfast to boost your metabolism for the rest of the day. For breakfast I try to have 4 egg whites (less carbs), a piece of whole wheat toast and 2 slices of…

  • It is important to know that when your body goes into starvation mode it will hoard fat because it's "starving". That may be why you gained 1lb. Also, it could be water weight. I wouldn't worry until you're gaining more than 1lb and you haven't changed your diet. It's also a good idea to eat about 200 cal over your goal to…
    in just wondered...? Comment by momofssc February 2011
  • OK, I think I'm getting it now. So, my calorie intake is 1300 (ish), my average workout is around 500 and my metabolic whatever is 1400 (ish). So, even if I don't exercise I'm still burning more calories than taking in. I completely forgot about the extra calories burned. If I don't eat my extra calories when I exercise I…

  • Excellent question. My little one just learned to walk. I can't keep up with her at times!

  • I can tell you I worked as a personal trainer for a fitness facility and we had to study nutrition along with the muscle anatomy. They told us that it's important to eat something (such as a cheeseburger) to keep your metabolism going. When you eat only healthy foods with low carbs, cals and fat for several weeks your body…
    in Splurge Days? Comment by momofssc January 2011
  • Hi, I just started this site tonight. I heard about it from Parents mag and I can't wait to get started for real. My baby belly is an extra 20lbs that I can't wait to get off. I've been married for 4 years, and I love my daughter, but I have to get rid of the evidence. Bye, bye belly.
    in Hi, droping some baby weight. Comment by momofssc January 2011
  • Hey, I just started this site. So far I'm enjoying it. I found out about it through Parents magazine. I'm a new mom, a year ago anyway, and I've found it very hard to get exercise in. Mostly because I'm lazy. I stay home with my daughter, and she's a handful, but there's not enough running around to actually get a decent…
