I am not sure how I wound up on the gaining weight site but I am also looking to lower my body fat percentage. Keeping in mind I am a woman and won't give any specific amounts therefore, it's my experience that this is how you lower your fat and gain muscle - 1. Lifting heavy weights for short reps. You should not be able…

How about using a heart monitor? Then you can know exactly what range you are in and not go to slow or too fast.

Holy crap. You asked for advice on working out and you got 6 pages of advice on parenting. I am a parent of a 3 and 5 year old so I will refrain from telling you how to parent your children. Instead I will actually try to answer your question. What you need are short focused, interval workouts - probably chopped up due to…

I am also eating 1200 a day and doing a special diet where I only eat veggies (all kinds), protein, yogurt, fruit and fats, in that order. You would be surprised how much you can eat without carbs in your diet. Of course you do have to watch the protein and portion control. But its carbs that have all the big calories!

You are a woman and my age so I can probably give you my opinion, keep in mind that I am not a medical professional. 1. Lose the protein bars. Last summer I discovered Zone bars and that is where my weight gain really started. I see you are eating them as meal replacements but you have a lot of snacks so I wonder if they…

Well I am on this site because the battery in our scale died two years ago - two years and twenty pounds! I do agree that it's not the number but how your clothes fit. You can always pick something that you know will fit if you lose a certain amount of weight and go by that.

Nutrabullet! I have a blender, a juicer and I prefer the Bullet for my smoothies. I am sure the expensive blenders work well but the Bullet is fast, works well and is a pinch to wash out.

Wear what you feel comfortable in. I personally like bikinis and even though I have gained weight, I will still wear them, I just have some modest ones. Check out the more designer brands where they are more forgiving. Stay away from Target and H&M. Nothing tight or digging into you. Cheap bikinis will not be your friend.…

1. 40s 2. 160 3. PA 4. Moderate 5. 3-4 times a week 6. Always 7. Dinner 8. 32 ounces 9. Remove temptation from house/do not go to places containing temptation(avoidance) 10. Medium burger, no bun, or chicken on mixed green salad, feta or blue cheese, veggies

Hi there! I cannot read the 4 pages of comments and I am not sure if you will even read my post but I totally struggle with alcohol as well. It's different than for you, as I am pretty much past the going out and partying stage, but it's still always there and a huge temptation - a drink here, a drink there, it really adds…

Hi there. A trainer at my gym suggest I try this website/ap. I would like to lose 20 pounds to get back to the weight I was before I had my children. I am not sure that is possible but I would like to try. I turned 40 last year and gained 10 of that 20 pounds really fast, so something is going on and I need to get my…

I am surprised no one mentioned this. It's really hard to lose weight from cardio alone. It's actually strength training where you can significantly reshape your body and lose significant body fat. For me, the more cardio I do, the hungrier I get. Ignoring all the 35 pounds in two months comments, I would recommend hiring…

From my experience it depends on what parts of your body will change if you lose weight. Some items will just never look good on some people and its important to know the difference. I now only buy things that are too small or not flattering if I know I can return them. Some stores have a year return policy - like…
