Girls with a body like Kim's are the type of girls I am most attracted to. Beautiful face and nice round behind. =)

Yep, I agree. I do exactly the same thing every single morning. Except I keep my boxers on. hehe

Protein does help you lose weight, by keeping you satiated and by helping you maintain lean muscle. Although, ultimately a calorie deficit is what will make you lose weight, ideally you would like to accomplish this by retaining your muscle. Muscle increases resting metabolic rate (although not by much) so if you just do…

It all depends on your goals. If you want to bodybuild then 1 body-part a day is usually the way to go as you can give all of your energy to developing that particular area. For weight loss and toning however circuit training is the way to go. lots of reps hitting as many body parts as possible for maximum calorie burn.

I'm not a girl but i'm a short guy with a belly can I join? haha i'm 5'2' weighing 162 looking to be about 140 in a couple of months

erickirb is right. I personally cannot eat less than 2000 calories a day without feeling starved! I have a semi muscular build but I'm overweight by at least some 30 pounds, I don't know if the muscle has anything to do with me eating so many calories it but it might. Anyway about a year ago I used MFP for about a couple…

six pounds in a week is quite extreme I doubt you have gained that much if any. If you must weigh yourself try picking at time of the day and weighing yourself at that time every single time. Most people weigh themselves in the morning before breakfast to avoid having any undigested food in their stomachs.

Are you having anything else besides coffee? are you having enough water? The brain consumes a lot of calories and if you're calorie deficit is too extreme it will definitely cause headaches. Also coffee is a diuretic, if you're not drinking enough water, dehydration can cause headaches.

I think it's very healthy to indulge once in a while. A treat every so often can give you psychological break from a rigid diet and help you stick to it. However, you have to be careful here. Don't, use workouts as an excuse to have a cup of ice cream everyday! remember your goal is to lose weight and live a healthy…

My goal is to loose around 20 pounds as well, and after about 6 weeks I've lost 9 pounds. that's a little more than a pound a week. Which I'm pretty happy about. I think it's definitely possible to lose 10 pounds in a month for a lighter person but it would take an extraordinary effort than in the end might just be…

I have this same problem all the time. The simplest way is just to convert everything to grams and figure out how many grams of stuff you need. Grams deal specifically with the amount of weight of the stuff you need so it's pretty straight forward. For instance in my morning cereal, it says a serving size is a either 1 cup…

lots of cardio. no way around that.

I definitely fall under this category. I've been exercising and dieting for years and never seemed to move past the 165lbs area. The times I did go under, i just seemed to take an extreme effort to achieve which I told myself couldn't be sustained in the long run. So, mostly I would diet and exercise intensely for 1 week…

@ crazymama-lol.... I've kinda been having the same problems but I think this is just the way the body reminds you that you need to eat more cause you're consuming less than you should; the body always aims to remain at a steady state. As i've lost weight, the feelings of hunger have gotten a little bit more manageable but…

I don't know what the Canada Food Guide is about because I follow my own diet. But as a man that has some amount of muscle I can tell you for sure, that protein is the most important nutrient when trying to build muscle. Because, bulking up essentially follows the reverse principals of loosing weight (meaning you eat more…

This is simply because it takes a lot more energy to move a bigger body than a smaller one. So if 2 people are eating and exercising the same, the bigger one will lose more weight because of all of the extra fat they're carrying.

No prob just don't go overboard with rocky stuff, like eye of the tiger! i have it, but I often skip it cause it just reminds me of so many ridiculous parodies haha! stick to the more obscure ones like these 2. =)

Wow your hot! hehe....Anyway, I think slightly active sounds about right. If you take a look a little closely you'll notice that fitness pal let's you record the calorie burn from all types of exercises. So i would assume you would get the most accurate calorie estimate by picking an activity level that best describes you…

some might say they're cheesy but wow these 2 songs always amp me up! they're the last 2 songs in my playlist. lol http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1SUzcDUERLo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MwPb7g_BlXQ enjoy!

[/quote] Sorry forgot to say I am trying to loose weight not gain, but being 600+ under my calorie mark isnt gonna cut it. [/quote] if you're trying to loose weight and are dieting and exercising I don't see what the problem is. a daily 600 calorie deficit sounds like a very healthy range. At that rate you'll burn about of…

are you trying to loose weight or gain weight? sounds strange if your trying to lose weight because when I go to the gym I'm usually ravenous after I'm done, (haha, well, not ravenous but real hungry), which i think is normal since your body is trying to make up for the calorie deficit. Make sure you don't overestimate…

Congratulation! 10lbs in a month sounds very reasonable and maintainable weight loss. As far as the inches, there are many reasons why you would not have seen a significant drop. First, our bodies draw energy from all of our fat stores when exercising and dieting not just from one place. So what part of your body did you…
