Hi Lean0750 that's a great goals to have before returning to school. But at the same time September is 5 month from now and 200lbs in that time it definitely pushing it. Concentrate in 10lbs at a time or even 5lbs at a time. so you feel a great sense of accomplishment when you lose the lbs you set yourself for that wk.…

You are doing great!! remember just one day at a time. the key to weight lose success is consistency, good eating habits, exercise or some kind of activities depending your goals and patient. It took a long time to gain the weight and its going to take time to get it off. Just concentrate at one day at a time. Try to log…

Don't cry please and don't give up. I don't think that you are eating enough and 2-3 hours will speed up your metabolism. Make sure you also look at sugars in the bars you are eating. I think egg whites in the morning its better in protein than a bar. So, make sure you eat some good protein and carbs. Also, cardio its very…

I understand exactly how you feel. During that time of the month is so hard to keep motivation and to even feel good and sexy between the bloating and muscle aches. Try to push through and even if you don't have a hard amazing workout, a little its better than nothing and make sure to keep your eating clean specially…

find a substitute for the chocolate such as protein pudding. I get cravings a lot specially when I am prepping for a show. I honestly can not have any chocolate and when the cravings are there because I think is more mental than anything, I take a supplement call Liporidex Plus which is for appetite control and that's how…

Done think about the 100lbs you need to lose, concentrate at one day at a time. Cleaning your diet little by little and know that it takes time and you want to be able to keep it off so just take your time and look at the big picture. You can do it!!!!

I never heard that before and I also eat a lot of Spinach everyday, so now I'm curious and sure will do some research

well, the only thing I would use occasionally is Mustard, but since I don't really care for the bitter taste I only use it in extreme circumstances when my meal its too dry LOL

I do cheat meals once a week only. I replace one of my meal plan for a meal that has more calories and definitely not in plan such as a Steak, burger or even fries. Once I do then, I can see how fast I drop weight and my body resets again. I wont recommend doing a whole day of cheat meals

with HIIT training you can burn as much as 700 calories or more and that's depending on the individual and their fitness level. I honestly have a Polar heart rate monitor and I can see exactly what my body its burning and my highs and lows.

How long have you been trying to eat 1300 calories??? the reason I ask its because at the beginning of a new regimen its hard to eat all the calories and we constantly feel full. Once you get your metabolism faster your body will ask you for more food. Maybe try to eat 2.5 to 3 hours to speed things up. You can have some…

To avoid temptations or overeating after work, I would make sure to eat a healthy lunch and snacks (good and healthy choices) during the day, so when its time to go home and its late and tiring we can reach for a grilled chicken and a nice yummy green salad. The key its to prep meals, so its done in the refrigerator just…

What I do to keep me on track its to cook my meals on Sunday's. I would have sweet potatoes in the oven, rice maker with 2 cups of brown rice, Vegetable steamer, quinoa et and will cook a bunch put it in large Ziploc bags and from there distributed it to small containers when needed, so I always have all my meals ready.…

Losing weight its not a momentary thing....I hear so many people lose weight and then gain all back and more. The key is to be consistent and creating a good eating habit. You will see results by really paying attention to your food intake, restricting your sweets and other bad carbs. Get you a food scale in Target...I…

I understand the lack of time or motivation. If you cant make it to the gym, try doing some basic things such as burpees, push ups, body squats, abs, jumping rope, jumping jacks...as long as you can do like a circuit and set your timer to do 3-4 cycles . 20-30 mins that's good. If you make it to the gym, take a class and…

I agree with rebahicky. I eat sweet potatoes everyday and I love that they are sweet and they are part of my plan anyway. Also, I am completely in love with Cellucor Whey protein the Cinnamon Swirl flavor, so I would just eat the a spoon of the powder alone or I make little puddings with it. It craves my sweet tooth and at…
