Also make sure you learn proper form on how to lift. Work with a trainer for at least 1 or 2 sessions to figure this out!

Don't listen to anyone who says to do low weights high reps...it's not going to do anything for you. You need to come up with first the number of days you want to strength train. This can be 3 days, 4 days and so on. Once you determine that then you want to figure out how to split the muscle group you want to target. Do…

I think the best kind of training for such a small amount of time is circuit training. I also work out during my lunch break and I find it to be the most effective use of my time. Similar to Jillian Michaels I do three strength training exercises for 2 sets 12 reps each, 2 minutes of cardio and then 1 minute of abs. Each…

i have to say that is pretty awesome! I still havent mastered not binge eating! You are awesome inspiration.

are you doing strength training at all? Strength training is going to make your body tighter overall which will help you fit in to smaller sizes.

you can do this!!

I am 5'6" and my goal is around 120 but right now I am really working on toning. My current weight is 126 and I think I am starting to get a bit too skinny. I am similar to you where my thighs are still too big :(. I am going to tone up and see what happens from there.

It is all about your diet! If you eat foods that don't make your belly bloated then you are headed in the right direction. The next component is to do cardio to help shed any excess fat. The final component is obviously doing work-outs to help strengthen your abs. I would recommend doing tons of planks and exercises that…

I am in! I will send you my weight on Friday. Also if you need any help let me know!

amazing!

Nice!

So during the day just hanging out and doing nothing your body burns calories. Me if I just stayed in bed all day, I burn around 1600 cals. That means without working out if I eat less than 1600 cals I can lose weight. Working out is just icing on the cake. So you need to figure out how many calories you burn without doing…

The question I have is whether food is to be measured after it is cooked or when it is frozen. I eat frozen chicken breast everyday and the weight changes from when it is frozen to when it is cooked--- which state is the caloric information referring to? Frozen or cooked weight? THANKS!

im "new" to consciously low carbing and I thought i would ask --- is it bad to eat things like sweet potato? As an anecdote whenever I low carb I lose weight. I don't normally low carb on purpose and it was after reading this post that I realized why I haven't been losing weight- I just normally live off of TONS of canned…

sorry about the typos!

some things i like to keep around so you have a list: sugar free jelly sweet potatoe lean chicken like purdue chicken (i have the one that is 4 oz for 100 cals) tilapia canned tuna or fresh tuna salmon vegetables like: asparagus, mushrooms, garlic, onions carrots, lettuce (romaine, iceburg or any other kind) olive oil…

just re-reading your post and as an anecdote. Right now I also try and workout six days a week and have not lost any weight. Prior to this I was working out with a trainer maybe 3 times a week and lost about 6 or 7 pounds in a month. I was not tracking calories like I do no or really calculating the number of calories I…

how heavy are you lifting? You need to be lifting HEAVY! LIKE benching and squating and such. You should also really focus on core exercises like doing planks and any variety thereof...I find that helps me a lot :) Hope my post helped! You can do it just dont get discouraged and really up the intensity of your workouts!

even though I crave bad food once in a while I get sick when I do eat it! I ate a slice of pizza because I though it would be a treat and now I have the worst headache in the world. Makes me double think eating junk again. But it will get better I promise you! In the end you owe it to yourself to eat better! YOU CAN DO…
