  • If you like the cardio, google HIT training. In a nutshell, high intensity to get your heart rate up and then steady pace (elliptical, rowing, biking or running). 20 minutes of HIT will get you better results than an hour of light/moderate traditional cardio. Don't dismiss anaerobic training though. You can definitely…

  • Some good comments on this one. A cheat meal is much more desirable to a entire cheat day, and life happens. For me, I'll have a cheat meal, typically an event, and plan ahead with some extra exercise and/or greater deficit. Then I enjoy, largely guilt free.

  • I have respect for the fatter folks in the gym, because they are making an effort to improve themselves which shows character. When I was fat, I got some looks, but I trained like a beast, worked hard and regularly and then became more motivated by the approving looks. Don't care what others think...unless it's something…

  • Hi Meredith, The hips and thighs are the toughest, but you can lose the unwanted weight if you watch your diet closely. Try to avoid any processed foods, this is difficult at first, but gets easier. You are already at a healthy weight for 5'2" so you don't have far to go. The last fat that your body is storing is what…
