I don't really look at percentage because I eat a different amount each day. I just make sure I hit 120g of protein and 40g of fats. Everything else is whatever I want. I find myself eating a lot of chicken breast, ground turkey, plain greek yogurt and whey protein to hit the mark. I also try to find a lot of carbs/fats…

Sorry to say it but when you were only eating 650 calories a day you RUINED your metabolism. You lost weight but it was most likely muscle mass. Now to this day you're still having to deal with what you did to your body. This will explain while you are normal for your height and weight but your body fat percentage is so…

yep yep, this is how I feel. you can always take a piercing out if you don't like it. tattoos are there for goooood, or cost a lot of money and pain to remove.
-
I think they're cute! it is my prize for when I hit my goal weight :smile: I think it all depends on your age and style though. Some people just can't pull it off.
-
I literally have my days planned like 2-3 days in advance. so I don't get stuck realizing I have no plan for dinner and no way of getting to the grocery store. I also do this to make sure I am going to get enough protein during the day.

no answer, but I think this is an interesting question. I've always heard that cortisol and stress does that so I was wondering if there was a way to reverse it. everyone says you can't "spot reduce" fat but it seems like your body can spot where it puts it!

are we talking top or side? i have that annoying muscle between the top of the boob and shoulder that pops out under tanks and such. hate it....

Variety.

why not just do 3 sets of 10 reps at a high weight? less time more benefit.
-
I'm so sorry this happened to you but I am glad it wasn't worse. It is a blessing that you can now educate some women to help prevent something far worse happening :flowerforyou:

I loved JM for getting me back in shape. loved her then I bought Body Revolution. INCREDIBLY TOO EASY for me. What a waste of money. I burned 150 calories in 30 minutes and barely got my heart rate up. thought it was just the level so I skipped 2 weeks and moved up. Still too easy. I can do better with walking.
-
I know how you feel. About four months ago I was 150 at 5'4". Not huge, but not skinny either. I hated myself. I couldn't stand how I looked, I never wanted to go out, when I did go out I covered my body from head to toe. My boyfriend would get so mad because he thought I looked great and wanted me to show off. That being…
-
you're right. I was more saying that there are 2 workout routines that you rotate. both programs have the same set up. ABA, BAB, etc.
-
I haven't done either but I am aware of both. NROLFW contains a lot more than just a strength training workout (diet plan and in later stages includes HIIT), thats why I would recommend it. Stronglifts 5x5 only has 2 days of 3 exercises. Which, to me, would get boring. NROLFW has about 2 days of 5 exercises that are…

I'm actually very happy with my BMR. i am pretty sure it is MUCH higher than most women my age, height and weight bc I used to eat like a crazy person. fast food is what made me gain weight. Only reason I gained weight was because I was swimming/working out 4-6 hours a day and when the swimming stopped, the eating didn't.…
-
true. but personally most of MY muscle mass came from competitive swimming and when I gained weight the muscle never went away. I just had to learn how to eat healthy to lose the fat on top of the muscle. I wasn't out of shape long enough for my muscle to waste away. those that are sedentary their whole life probably don't…
-
I do agree with the biological aspects but it honestly depends on the person's goals. Like I said before, I just want to maintain muscle and lose fat, so lifting heavy isn't necessary. I'm that weird freak of nature that has muscle mass naturally. I do body resistance exercises which has been sufficient for maintaining my…

I honestly usually get a black coffee with 2splenda. If I'm feeling a little bold I'll get a coffee frappachino or really really bold a while chocolate mocha...but the last two are usually special occasions
-
exactly! lately, I've notice a huge negative opinion of newbies. We were all newbies at once and didn't understand the forums, how to search, exercise calories etc. I don't understand why anyone would be mean to these people when we were in the same position as them at one point.
-
just started a thread on this topic. so sick of this "size fits all" mentality to weight loss and physical ability
-
not trashing the stair master. have no way of doing it. just complaining about the fact that people think you can't get a good workout on the elliptical. You can get a good workout on ANY machine depending on how you do it. I know I don't look perfect yet, but my body got where it is now partly from these HIIT elliptical…
-
seriously though, you are completely ignorant. you can make any exercise hard with intervals and resistance. as my post shows above you can get an AWESOME workout on the elliptical that is LOW IMPACT. even young people can have back, hip, knee issues. Personally, I have hip issues that messes with my knees and back as…
-
I do intervals on the elliptical and burn as much (if not more) than the treadmill. It is my non running day workout. 28 min: 5 min warmup, 2 min 10 resistence, 1 min 20 resistence (at the same rate as the 10) x6, 2 min cooldown. you tell me your "grandma" can do that??????
-
mine is real...
-
haha awesome. I would probably get kicked out if I tried that at my gym though. No one walks around without a shirt.
-
Don't be mortified, you look AWESOME! 30 DS is a shrink machine! I LOVE JM. I have 8 of her videos and I just started Body Revolution. You should try Ripped in 30 next, it is great!
-
WOW! You look awesome. Very nice! I love JM SOOOOOO much. She got me my body back and will hopefully get me to my dream body soon :) I just started JM Body Revolution.
