Thanks, I think I'm going to train them anyway. The meaning of core is "essential" or "innermost".... Why not train something that is essential to overall balance and strength? Couldn't hurt.

I uploaded some pics -__- Haha sorry, I wasn't trying to "brag"...I have plenty of trouble spots and I just felt like my stomach wasn't one of them. No need to be rude about it. No mean comments please, unless it's advice on how to fix something. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/photos/view/44973460

Yeah....today was my first day. Probably had about 1400 calories if I had to do an estimate. I need to stop thinking like this and just live :/

To prevent overeating I'm usually going to follow a rule of Drinking 2 glasses of water before meals Drink water during my meal as well Eat about 2/3 of my plate Eat out of smaller containers No snacking between meals...unless I'm reaallyyy hungry. Then I'll have an apple or something.

What if I calorie cycle? Here's a schedule I just made up... Monday: Lifting (full body), 1600 calories. Tuesday: Rest, light cardio (walking), 1000 calories Wednesday: Lifting (Full body), 1600 calories Thursday: Cardio (running) 1000 calories Friday: Bodyweight training (can't make it to the gym that day), 1200 calories.…

I would like to lose the weight by September 1st! Fitness goals, uuhh....Well, if I'm not 125 by september I would at least like to weigh 130 but have more lean body mass so it looks like 125. The part of the workout I enjoy is the weight lifting. And the treadmill running. I HATE the elliptical but it burns so many…

I think it depends on everyone's bodies, but I think diet soda is the devil. Really. I used to weigh 117 pounds. Went up to 126 and in a panic stopped eating and drinking only diet soda. And guess what? I stepped on the scale a month later and weighed 140 pounds. I cut the diet soda and I am already down to 133 again in 2…

Brush your teeth or chew a piece of gum right after dinner! Or sip on sparkling water, the bubbles fill you up :)

I'm 5'4 and 18 years old. I used to be 117 lbs last year but it was unhealthy and my body rapidly gained back all of my weight. Now I'm trying to have more muscle when I lose so that it doesn't come back. How come I should cut cardio?

I would be careful buying clothes that you plan to fit into. Sometimes you might not get what you expect. I lost 20 lbs and went from a size 8 to a 7.5 Not really a big difference so I think you'll be fine with your current shoe size.

I really hope my weight goes down too. I looked in the mirror and swore I looked fatter....

I thought of that too

Soo, the 4 lbs is water weight or just weight that I already had? I'm confused. I really hope it's water. I weight myself 1st thing in the morning after going to the bathroom.

I don't have a foam roller.......would a rolling pin work? hahaha

Alright yall. This is just induction. I am going to SLOWLY reintroduce carbs. I'm not going to go back to "eating normal", as that implies eating white bread, sugar, desserts and crap. My diet after losing weight is going to consist of meat, veggies, fruits, nuts, whatever. This is not a quick fix, it is a lifestyle…

Well, I have a history of yo-yoing :( IT started when I was 16 and weighed 143 lbs. I was able to get all the way down to 115. At first, I did it healthily, eating about 1500 calories and playing soccer, but this only allowed me to go down to 127 lbs. I lost the remaining 10 pounds eating only 500-1000 calories a day,…

Yes I guess you guys are right.... I just heard you;re supposed to lose a lot of water weight. Oh well! At least I'm losing something!

The 5:2 diet.....Well, it does work, but prepare to only live 5 out of 7 days. I have never done it, but my dad has. He doesn't weight himself but just by looking at him, he looks slimmer and more energetic. Since April he must have lost 15 pounds, and he originally weighed maybe 200 something? Now he's probably 195....…

Thanks for all of your help everyone :D I'm going to start making my diary public starting next week and I am going to start a low-carb diet. Apparently I was 140 not that long ago and I actually lost weight, my mom saw my weight on the scale but wasn't telling me. so I actually lost four pounds.... I want to weigh 120 by…
