sorry but there are no magic plateau busting pills. tell us more exactly what you tried? have you tried eating less? when you changed workouts did you amp up the intensity, go longer, do it more often and/or work out first thing in the morning? have you tried intermittent fasting? what is your current weight b/c your…

doesn't matter if he's trying to lose weight. with weight loss the only question you need to ask is "how much do I need to eat and/or exercise to lose weight?" Usually all it takes is 1200-to-2000 to lose weight. If he's trying to build some muscle as he loses weight or just build more muscle then 25-to-50% of his diet…

in you're in that last 10-15 range then you'll have to amp things up. think more intervals. you can still do your light runs but do them on your rest days. if you need more info on intervals or some workouts just let me know

what about plan old jumping jacks. nowloss.com/jj

as long as your TOTAL calories are fine (or enough to cause weight loss) then why worry about how much protien, carbs or fats in your diet? it does not matter what you eat as long as you take in NOT enough energy (calories) to force your body to burn fat to make up for the difference BUT... weight loss will be easier if…

not bad at all depending on how you use it. coffee before a workout can help you burn more fat by giving you more energy (caffiene) to workout harder and longer.

in that case you really need to try this arm bike wokrout: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUe8xi13vbE

you have to be honest with yourself. in your case the treadmill is kicking your butt more so I'd stick with that. I mostly never look at the estimated calorie outputs. If a workout is beating the hell out of you then it's your best bet to stick with that workout and NOT the one you can easily breeze thru NO MATTER what the…

i usually recommend a range of 1200-to-2000 to lose weight but generally to lose weight over 2000 cals per day = you have to be real active or extremely overweight but in your case... it's obivous that 2300 is too much so i would at least try a 2000-to-2300 range for 5-to-10 days but if you're smart - go ahead and do a…

you said "I did try TDEE %20 method. Didn't work" so that simply means you were still eating too much. Calorie calculators like MFP and all the others out there are giving you "best guesses" and they are not 100% right. No matter what I, MFP or anyone else tells you - you're going to have to find out thru trial and error…

the only thing that can give you the RIGHT answer is YOU and your food journal (which I'm guessing you're using MFP for) It's going to take trial and error to see what calorie amount works best for you to lose weight, gain weight or maintain. I could tell you eat more or eat less or the same but I'd have a 33% chance of…

would an eliptical or an arm bike be an option? if so i got 2 workouts on youtube that'll be really helpful

don't worry about macros or what you eat. for fat loss it's all about HOW MUCH (not the what, when & where). if you need to eat 1500 calories per day to lose weight then eat that and you'll lose fat NO MATTER what you eat and... I'm not saying to put your health at risk by eating 1500 calories worth of pizza, cake, ice…

very normal. you'll find the more intense it is the less hungry you are

what is your overall goal? fat loss or to gain mass?

If you don't mind sharing what is your current weight and height or message it to me here on MFP or FB but basically... you'll need to eat less and/or ramp up your workout. 1. go to a 1200-to-1600 range 2. add more intervals or HIIT (follow the rules at nowloss.com/8) 3. try IF (intermittent fasting) - I do it myself and…

I agree with you 100% - IT does matter WHAT you eat as far as living longer, looking better and preventing disease BUT... To lose weight it does not matter WHAT but HOW MUCH you eat to lose weight. If you are stranded on an island where you could only eat 500 calories worth of snickers bars everyday then you'll lose weight…

lower your overall calories (doesn't matter about macros) for losing more fat but first i would try adding more intense intervals for 1-2 times per day 20-to-40 mintues 3-4 days per week. here's an example workout: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wi6kARs7Us

1. carbs are not bad. 2. does not matter what you eat when it comes to losing weight (nowloss.com/diet) BUT..... too many carbs will cause you to gain excess water weight IF you're diet is high in salt, dont drink enough water and/or don't exercise. Like I said.... it does not matter what you eat but you should consider…

if you don't mind sharing - what is your weight and height? loose skin in most cases is loose fat or simply more fat you have to lose, what is loose skin really? pinch the skin on the back of your wrist where in most people it's really thin. that on the back of yoru wrist is loose skin which is not that thick. now if you…

what i do for mine... 1. Ice for up to 40 minutes 1-2 times a day about 2+ days per week but start off with 10 minutes 2. I do eliptical and bike workouts. avoid long duration running or walking workouts. 3. stretch your calves 4. BEST THING FOR ME: take 2 golf balls and really massage your feet

not exactly. if you've eaten 1042 and aren't starving then you're ok.

let me also add that the reason why most people are not succesful with getting a better looking butt with squats is mainly because they dont come down deep enough (*kitten*-to-grass) and are not pushing thru their heels

I know your MFP thing says to eat X amount to lose weight but don't focus on eating that amount. FOCUS on tracking what you eat and drink and only be concerning about going OVER X amount. as long as you stay under or right at X amount you'll lose. So don't force yourself to eat exactly X amount each day.

squats are great. deadlifts are great and hip thrust are great but if a movie studio paid me 10,000 to train the star actress and said she had to make her butt look better I would definetly start her out with hip thrust or bridges and then yes... I may add some squats, lunges and/or deadlifts but like with most women (and…

so are you saying you only ate less than 1000 cals or are you subtracting your activity? If you ate less than a 1000 but are not hungry then good for you! you'll lose weight faster. the best diet is one you can stick to without constatnly worring or starving but also... I would double check to make sure you are counting…

look, i didn't mean to cause a debate over how much weight to use but I think some of you are missing the point and let's stop focusing on "HEAVY" the point is that if you want growth of any body part. pick a weight that keeps you in the 6-12 rep range. and yes some may argue 5-10, 5-12 or 8-12 is better but picking…

heavy is a realtive term and I said "probably" - 70 may be extremely heavy for you so yes... dont overdo it FOR YOU... just pick a weight that keeps you in the 6-12 rep range and for me that's 300-to-400 pounds on the hip thrust whereas that may be 30-to-40 pounds for you (but I'd doubt it)

oh yeah and another thing. Make sure you use heavy weights (like in a compound movement) and use weights that keep you in the 6-12 rep range. that means most women should probably start with 70+ pounds and men maybe 100+

hip thrust, squats, lunges, leg presses all work for a bigger (better butt) but once you try hip thrust and bridges you'll agree that they're much better. they're really useful for people with knee problems who cant or hate squats
