your first pick is fat. skin is not that thick, skin is the same thickness as the skin on the back of your hand that second pick you are grabbing skin

Doesn't matter WHEN you eat as long as you eat the right amount of calories to lose weight. what is the right amount? it's whatever you decided on, MFP told you or whatever tool you used but if you're supposed to eat 1500 per day to lose weight and you're at 1100 and feeling hungry (then eat) but don't worry about WHEN. on…

what workout are you doing now? seems like it may be time for you to exclude any running or walking workouts for a while. is the eliptical, armbike or battle ropes an option?

not fast enough? - I agree but unlike weight loss, posture issues take time to overcome. I had a bad lordoic posture that i've been to lazy to seriously deal with

to correct rounded shoulders... massage & stretch your tight chest muscles do rowing exercises to strenghten back. You may also have a forward head posture as well?

meal replacment or snack? BOTH

there's is already a very lively discussion about this on another thread which I'm on but I say NO... do not eat back your calories. you'll lose weight faster (but you'll still lose if you eat them back) BUT eating them back defeats the purpsose of exercising. eating your calories back is simply the same thing as being…

Great analogy but your body is way more complex than a car and here's why... the car does not have a HUGE ENERGY Reserve like our bodies do. You see, all the excess energy (calories) we eat get stored as fat. You can't put too much gas in a car without it spilling out. Your body takes the excess and it turns it into FAT (a…

Of course not, but you're not eating ONLY 700 cals. - you ate 1300 if your 1 year eats 700 calories and let's say (for sake of arguement) that your toddle burns another 100-to-200 calories exercising or their normal daily activity is She only eating 500 calories per day? of course not. but look - let's not let me and you…

the point I'm trying to make about "FAST" is that it's okay if you lose over 2 pounds a week and if you happen to lose 5 pounds in a week then that's okay and no need to panic about that or vice versa... if you lose under 2 pounds a week that is also okay. Maybe I'm misunderstanding here but I getting the feeling here that…

No, that's not how it works at all (esp. if you have a high bodyfat %) - your body feeds off the stored glycogen (or the carbs stored in your muscle & liver) + your bodyfat for energy during exercise BONUS TIP: if you exercise fasted or first thing in the morning you'll burn MORE FAT and less carbs (glycogen)

maybe I should start a new thread on for this question but What is considered "TOO FAST" for those of you here? is it more than 2 pounds per week?

CORRECT - at the end of the day all that matters is what WORKS BEST FOR YOU but let me add this (again) When some of you hit a plateau you're going to have to eat less and/or exercise more (with more intensity or time) - for those of you who don't want to eat less or can't because your hunger levels will go up... then…

it's only true depending on how close you are to your goal. a bigger person will simply lose more than a smaller person eating the same amount and doing the same exercise

rapid weight loss is not a bad thing. the 1-2 pounds per week recommendation is false DEPENDING On how overweight you are. like i said an extremely overeweight person may lose 5-to-10 pounds their first week and as they get closer to their goals then they may lose 1-2 pounds or even less.

exercise is also good for all the benefits many of you have listed but focusing on exercise for weight loss... WHY even worry about EXERCISE FOR WEIGHT LOSS if you're eating back everything you burn off? that's all im saying

Exercise (usually the more intense it is) blunts your appetite but yes... some people may have an increased appetite hours after a tough workout but here's the point guys... IF you eat back EVERYTHING YOU BURN OFF then you are simply wasting your time exercising

an agenda to help you burn fat faster but let me apolgize (I'm not being sarcastic) to those of you who believe in losing 1-2 pounds per week

it's no doubt you WILL lose weight eating back your calories but eating back those calories is simply the same thing as you just going on a diet alone and... NOT eating back those calories is a bonus helping you lose faster but once you hit a platuea which you probably will - you may want to think twice about eating back…

then what about the overeweight person who loses 10 pounds a week until they get within 20-to-50 pounds of their goal? If exercise shouldn't be abotu calorie burns then why exercise?

of course you want to finsih your goals as fast as you can and what I suggested is not unhealthy. let's look at it this way... when someone hits a plateau are you (the ones suggesting you should eat your calories back) that you should ONLY eat less? because if you increase your exercise intensity or workotu longer then…

you'll still lose weight eating those calroies back but it really is defeating the purpose of exercising. eating back calories is simply the same thing as JUST DIETING or eating less ALONE to lose weight

the heavier you are = the faster you'll lose weight and the MORE fat you'll lose. muscle loss only begins to occur at the point when your bodyfat % gets EXTREMELY low (like under 5%) as for skin elasticity (or loose skin) most people mistake loose skin for simply more fat they have to lose. Pinch the skin on the back of…

no, it's not unhealthy. you're still getting 1300 calories and you lost 40 pounds (i'm guessing in 40 weeks) which is good but imagine losing that 40 in 20 weeks or even 30

you'll burn more calories adding 20% of your bodyweight so if you weight 200 pounds then wearing a 40 pound vest would ramp up the calorie burn. this is why heavier people lose weight faster

do any of my fat loss workouts. youtube.com/inshape4u

you'll need to look at your food journal to see what foods causes it. how much water are you drinking daily.

refer to nowloss.com/8 but yes... stuff like insanity or tae-bo that takes it to the next level or basically workouts where you don't carry on an intellignet conversation with a friend. An interval is basically like running all out or even sprinting as fast as you can as if a serial killer was after you for 10-to-45…
