Set your next goal up right away so you still have something to reach for. I'm so glad for you! Keep up the good work!

You seem to have answers for every suggestion here. You also seem to have made up your mind to eating 500 calories a day. Why bother posting? You've already made up your mind on everything.

The problem with the Keto Diet is that it is so high in fat to bring your body into ketosis. The problem with that is although you're burning fat, you're not eating enough protein which helps your body to recover after a workout. A diet that is high in protein, lower in carbs and mid of fats allows the body to build muscle…

If you're tired of it, when are you going to wake up? No man is worth risking your health over. Put yourself first.

Because they are eating this way, they are in a permanent state of ketosis. Can you imagine what their breath must smell like? YUCK!

Thank you sunshine. I was thinking the same thing, but I wasn't sure. I've been doing a lot of research on the paleo diet. I think it may finally end the yo-yoing my weight has been doing for the last 7 years. I am, however, having trouble letting go of the low-fat low-calorie way of thinking. But all of the research comes…

Listen to your body. It will tell you how much is too much. I'm 51 and 212. I stay steady at about 125, which is my fat burning rate, but will spike it up to 150 to work towards getting fitter.

I haven't taken a yoga class. I figure I make a big enough of an *kitten* of myself just doing my regular routine.

THAT'S what that loud noise was! I heard a huge CRASH, looked at my trainer and said "sounds like someone just broke some weights".

WOW now that I look at this, I've embarrassed my self many times. LOL

When I first started working out, my legs weren't very strong and they were very sore from the previous days' workout. I was able to get down on the rowing machine and was tearing it up. When I was done, I tripped over the bar almost fell into the guy on one side of me and over corrected myself and almost fell on the girl…

I was on the stair climber (the escalator to nowhere) and tripped on a step. I almost went flying off of it when I misjudged the last step getting off of it.

The stability ball has almost rolled away from me a couple of times. Members look at me when I use it like "is she going to go flying this time?"

I hear ya! I can get a smaller size jeans on but I can't zip them up because my stomach is still to big. My trainer says that usually the first area that you put it on is the last area to lose it. It's very frustrating but keep doing what you're doing and it will come off. At least that's what I keep telling myself. LOL

Thanks for clearing up my confusion. I guess I was taking something simple and making it complicated!

Invest in a heart rate monitor. It will give you a more accurate reading.

Actually this is correct if you want to focus on muscle definition. However, if you just want to get the darn weight off, definitely go CICO. Personally I eat whatever I want and stay within my calories. Once the weight is off, I will focus on muscle definition.

If you have dumbbells use those for your upper body. For lower body, I suggest squats and lunges. Do them adjusting the width and set of your feet. The way you stand works different parts of the lower body. If you have a ball (I don't know what these balls are called), use it to do crunches. Lay on the ball with your lower…

Yes, but be sure to weigh (not measure) your food and follow the serving size.

I do both with the more emphasis on cardio.

Honestly, I eat whatever I want as long as it fits within my calories for the day. Once I hit my calorie total, I stop eating. It's calories in vs calories out.

How tall are you? I can figure out your BMR to give you an idea of how many calories you are burning at a sedentary rate. That would be the lowest amount of calories you burn without doing much of anything. From that rate, you can figure out how many calories you need to burn in order to figure out your deficit. For…

Amazing! Your hard work shows. :)
