It is all about calories in vs calories out + genetics. My fat is mostly around my legs so I get abs visible when I am still high around bodyfat. That said abs only show when body fat is low enough. For many females this is not really sustainable for a long time. For the junk question, yes you can eat junk food but you…

Is it muscle or fat? In case of fat it will come off when you lose more weight. You can't spot reduce so if you lift it will grow the muscles underneath which might firm your arms but won't make them much smaller.

I have had mine for 4 years now and love it. First 3 years I only had a period every 4 month now it is getting older I get a period more often. I used to have very heavy periods but now it is just a tiny bit every 2 months. The docter recommended it after I couldn't handle the pill (would throw up 2h after taking it. The…

As long as you hit protein the others dont matter.

Mass gainers are filled with sugars, stay away from them. It is better to have high calorie foods like peanut butter and full fat milk.

My favorite is Nike. I always get it at the end of season when it is 50% discount. Adidas I like second best, it is cheaper than Nike in general but I feel quality is a bit less and lately they have some weird designs. I also have gymahark clothes but price/quality wise it is not worth it.

For me I still deal with body images even though I am 10kg smaller, it is just different issues - Getting fatter - Getting smaller - More muscle/less muscle - Virtiligo - etc..... I think no one will ever be satisfied with how they look.

10 days shouldn't make a difference. Don't worry to much about how much you lift. As long as you make progress you will be fine. On the other hand usually if I have been sick the first few sessions I can't lift as much but it returns quickly. Are you on a lifting program?

Endurance training before strength training will decrease performance in lifting. So if you want to do both on the same day lift first. For more intense endurance days plan it on different days. For frequency just listen to your body.

Are you on a lifting program?

Sounds like a pinched nerve. It should get better with rest. Have someone check your form as that is usually the cause. If the tingling doesn't go away see a doctor

Your legs look great. Same for davidsdottir legs

Those scales are really inacurate so that is probably why you see no change. Even on a different setting it won't be more accurate. Some gyms offer bf measurements. Also if you want a really accurate number you could get DEXA scan.

I guess so, never really measured them. It is hard to compare as most people in the gym wear long tights

Quad is 56cm (22inch?) Calve is 30cm (11,8inch?)

Proportionally I got bigger upper legs than calves. I would like to even it out a bit more.

Maybe get on an another program than starting strength. If the squatting is a problem pick a program that squats less. Also plan your leg days a few days away from game days if recovery is a problem. You don't need to quit sports to be able to weight lift. I used to sail competitively (very core and leg intensive) while…

I usually watch it after going to the gym. Some people on there are really motivating by how they turn their lives around. I love dr. Now he is so real.

My moms food, fatty, not that nutricious and way to little protein.

I prefer strings as they dont have visible lines. Usually the right size will stay put during lifting and running. Brand doesn't really matter. I get the cheapest ones from hunkemöller.

What will be best for you depends on your goals and current situation. What are your goals?

The most important part of maintaining muscle mass is getting enough protein. Try to eat at least 0.8-1gr of protein per pound of goal weight. The shred program will help maintain some mass too.

Maybe 1 hour of sparring but one hour of regular training I highly doubt it. Not sure how else to calculate it.

Manual treadmills will put more stress on the joints so make sure you test extensively before deciding, especially for the bad knee. I feel that my knee suffers more on manual treadmills than automatic. Also the cheaper manual treadmills are most often a lot less durable than their automatic counterparts.

Get on a beginners lifting program and follow that for a few weeks. I would recommend stronglifts 5x5. The following thread contains some lifting programs. https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10332083/which-lifting-program-is-the-best-for-you#latest When you are unsure how to execute certain lifts get a PT for…

0.8-1gr of protein per pound of goal weight. Carbs and fats are up to your own preference.

Portion control. Also go easy on the sauce, rice and fried stuff. Not sure about what is regular in American Chinese food so can't help you there.

True that. Also alcohol makes you retain water (not sure if she drinks though)

You probably have an higher sodium intake during your binges. Sodium will make you retain water. This usually takes a bit longer to clear out of your system. When I have a lot of sodium I can weight up to 7 pounds heavier.

Had a groin issue earlier this year. Wasn't allowed to do any cardio or leg work. So I ran a upper body lifting program. Depending on what muscles cause the groin injury, exercise will make it worse. Best to sit this one out and see a physical therapist
