Hey ladies, I need some help!! So, I'm working out with ChaLean Extreme and two weeks ago I pulled my back out doing one of her moves (lost my balance while bent over and tried to recover, b/c I'm stubborn like that..:( ). Anyway, so I haven't been able to exercise for two weeks. Not only that, but during that time I could…

WOW lulabelle, what an amazing transformation....you look fabulous!! Congrats. Keep up the good work. What's your secret???? :) Sandi, I have to say that I think you look great in both pics, but I will agree that maybe orange suits you more!! :) Lucky, I can't wear ANY shade of orange! I'd share my pics, but when I took…

What a FABULOUS real goal Magglett !!!!:happy: (sorry if I spelled your name wrong :blushing: )

Hi all Start weight: 235 Current weight: 192?? (as of June 1st) Weight Goal: 150 Mini-Goal: 175 by end of July Just started new workout plan on June 1st, I don't know my current weight b/c we're not supposed to check until the end of the 1st phase (30 days) so I'm almost there. I'm definitely losing inches b/c all of the…

It's happened to me before, and then the next day I generally eat ALOT to make up the calories (not by choice, but I just feel very hungry). Remember it's all about the net consumption, so try to go by weekly totals, it's a better gauge. I wouldn't worry about it too much, your body knows what it needs.

For sweets try to go NATURAL as much as possible. Things that have high fructose corn syrup are likely to make you crave more sweets ( I'm sucker for yogurtland... :( ) Last night I made a blueberry crumble (recipe from Cooking Light magazine...can't live w/o this thing) with a small scoop of Haagen Daaz LOWFAT vanilla…

Thanks so much...finally someone who understands!!! :) I know what you mean about the weight thing. My little sister is currently a size 9, but when I asked her what she weighed it was 130...at a 9 I'm around 145-150!!! ;-). I'm really just going for a clothing size, not a particular weight. But I would like my BF to be on…

And by the way...that guy has serious problems!!!! I think he's looking down b/c whatever was in there is beginning to attack!!

So, this is the problem generally with asking women about muscle...most have a difficult time gaining any and tend to have this same reaction...that they'd love to have my problem. No...you really wouldn't and I'm sorry I'm so defensive, but I'm sick of women telling me that. MOST women cannot maintain muscle, but I can I…

To all of you who don't understand...in order for me to reach my goal, I need to lose both the fat and the muscle (otherwise my %body fat will drop below 10%...unhealthy for a woman). The personal trainer I saw for my "free evaluation" (ie sales pitch) told me the same thing...I DO need to drop some muscle b/c when I was…

Because if I don't then I can't get to the weight I should be at. I currently have approximately 140 lbs of lean mass (that's bone, muscle, organs). For most women that's their whole weight!!!! I've always been a fairly muscular person (I gain it really easily) so when I started working out I put on a lot of muscle even…

I'm not sure if this is in here anywhere, but in order to get to my ultimate goal weight with a Fitness % body fat (note...not BMI) of 21% I need to lose roughly 19.7 lbs of lean mass. My intention is to keep my organs and bones ;P so how can I get rid of all that muscle w/o damaging myself??? (I also need to lose 24 lbs…

I'm having the same problem, b/c I do Billy's Boot Camp videos and they're CRAZY hard. I'm sore for 4 days after doing one, but they don't have info for those kinds of things. Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Calorie Counter
