Your pics look good. You sure you need to loose the 20? I lost 100lbs and feel like I am not done, but need to add muscle now.

It's a great plan if you don't want to make gains or improve at all. If you want to work out three days a week break it into, day one - chest shoulders and triceps day two back and biceps day three legs. Pick three exercises per body part and and do three sets. Thats 27 sets day one and 18sets day two and three. Try to do…

If you are eating in a deficit as a beginner, your gains in strength will be from improved technique. You must be in a surplus to add muscle. During maintenance you can increase the appearance of muscle mass by driving more blood to the muscles through resistance training. Actual increase in lean body mass will not occur…

it would be close

I eat very high protein the smell comes foe the sweat. Ammonia smell like old cat piss. Deodorant and body spray makes it smell like fancy old cat piss

I guess you are right and I am wrong on how to loose weight and gain muscle. Lets compare profile pics on who has made better progress? Mine are in my profile, where are your?

You are 100% correct. Addition of muscle will not occur in a deficit, especially in a female. What I should have said was resistance training will activate the existing muscles fibers which will burn fat at a faster rate.

Cut your calories drastically and do a lot of cardio. You will loose weight fast. but the loss will be both fat and muscle. Eat slightly under your TDEE and do resistance training and you will burn fat. The additional muscle will help with Leptin resistance and you will burn more fat. Fat loss is much better then weight…

To loose weight or loose fat? They are not the same thing.

They subside with time and conditioning. Take it slow and stop when the pain starts. You will be able to go a little longer each time. Training past the pain is counter productive.

More arm workouts??? I think it is less arm workouts to keep your arms small. Big arms =big pain small arms=small pain

about 24 months

Like the commercial said 'take three capsules at bed time, No need to exercise or change your eating habits' ..NOT Actually when I stopped drinking everything but water my weight loss journey became much easier.

I welcome all women onto the lifting floor. I would rather see a woman who is serious then a man who is just going through the motions.

Everyone is different. Change your carb to protein ratio. Eat a little more fat. You never gave your height, but 150lbs sounds very light to me

Don't worry about maintaining. Once you become the type of person that it takes to loose 100lbs, you know what it takes and how to do it. When I first started loosing weight any lapse would derail the effort. As time went by and pounds came off it became second nature. Once I hit 100lbs down I concentrated on building…

I would do anything once

Guess you did not watch the whole thing

Anyone who thinks there is not a set point your body tries to maintain should watch this video. It is long but very informative. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OA374f8oDbE

Very good! I did the c25K and was amazed as the time/distance increased.

Never2bstopped seems to be one of the A-holes we are talking about

There are no guide lines about standing next to someone and farting, but I would never do that. If I did that and someone felt that I was making their gym experience uncomfortable I would be the dick if I said suck it up or work out at home. I believe in co-existing with the people around me so we can all enjoy life. You…

If a person is so inconsiderate that they don't care that they effect others negatively maybe they should workout at home.

When you start the 10k trainer I would suggest skipping the first weeks so you are at the point that the 5k left off. I started the 10k program from the beginning at a slightly faster pace. Looking back I think it was a waist of time. I wish I had skipped right to week 7.

"I don't want to bulk up too much"... I would take more then an hour a day three days a week at a PF to bulk at all.

Two days in on a paleo. The only thing I miss are peanut butter and oatmeal/ I did drop a little weight from water retention.

I did it in less then 24 months. just keep at it.

You must determine if it is just fat or gynecomastia. Gyno could be caused by an imbalance of the ratio of Testosterone to Estrogen. The imbalance could also cause weight gain. How heavy were you at you max?
