This is a question for your doctor. My best guess would be that yoga and pilates are ideal, since you sit for a majority of both. Don't push it, though - injuries are serious and should be taken seriously. There's no shame in taking a break from exercise while your body heals. It may be a good opportunity to put energy…

Mainly, I would listen to your body. As long as you're meeting protein requirements (which for you I'd guess are between 80 - 120 grams?), don't worry about eating unless you're hungry. If you aren't already watching your macros (i.e. carbs, protein, fat) you really should, just to make sure you're getting enough protein.…

Yeah, get used to pounds flexing up and down day by day. If you let it get to you so much that you eat only 800 cals a day, you should stop weighing yourself. Use your logic, and know that one pound of FAT (which is what you're trying to lose) is equal to 3500 calories. Water weighs a lot, as only two cups is a pound.…

I've never been on food stamps, but I'm a student and money is very, very tight. Breakfast foods: aldi cottage cheese aldi eggs aldi skim milk aldi bread + aldi slice of american cheese + egg + salsa, DELICIOUS instant oatmeal, best choice produce = try to get on sale from flyers, or Trader Joe's if there is one close.…

this!

Congrats!! Looks like somebody gets to go shopping ;) ;)

Bump!

When I was eating at the campus trough, I would eat two meals there. One was usually cereal and fruit, the next was a sandwitch, and I would eat dinner in as a lean cuisine or oatmeal. If you check your sales, I'd eat one meal in of a frozen thing. It'll be super easy, relatively cheap, and taste better than school food…

Assuming you aren't a vegetarian, just add two chicken breasts prepared in a healthy way (baking, grilling, etc). Your hunger issues will be solved.

I'm another morning, post-pee weigher. I write it down and do a weekly average, keeping into account changes in my workouts, sodium intake, or monthly cycle. Cheers!

Same. Something small like a granola bar really helps me work out hard, and I'm doing weight training plus HIIT.

I haven't done much extra research beyond the common "protein after workout = good for muscle development". Personally, I like Trader Joe's Chocolate Whey in skim milk. By itself, 2 scoops is 17g and 130 cals and is the tastiest protein I've found.

That's so fantastic!!! I'm so glad that you're sticking with it enough to see such meaningful results - I bet this will be enough to keep you motivated not only to keep losing, but to maintain, and from my experience that is the hardest part! Keep going girl!

I have no idea about the cardio: I am currently working from a strength-training pov, but am by no means an expert on exersize or nutrition. BUT, from experience, whenever I'm working out really hard or really stressing my body or mind, the best thing I can do is combine these few things: 1. Switch to walking as my work…

I'm not an expert by any means but I'm loving New Rules of Lifting for Women. Look into it!

If you have problems with lactose, try mixing your protein powder with a probiotic yogurt. It has some enzymes that will help your body break down the lactose.

Get a few more opinions from other nutritionists - maybe this one is wrong, but if you hear it from 3 or 4, maybe they will be able to explain it to you or see it better from your perspective. Don't give up!

Same! This goes for ballerinas, too. I got to a conservatory of music and dance, and while I'm on the music side, the dansers have all kinds of body shapes and while they're all in really superior shape, some of them still are really big. It's body type. If you try to avoid hard exercises because you think it will make you…

I mess up the blankets in bed, like a lot. He always has the sheets and blankets all square and making sense, and it seems as soon as I get in everything is (comfortable) in totally array. "why doesn't the bed make sense?" is something I hear a lot. :)

I have been doing 3x week workouts, but I also travel a lot so consistant work outs are hard for me. As for yoga, I LOVE it. I have never been into it before, but especially with these workouts and the soreness, the stretching sems to really help me so much. I'm glad I'm not the only one doing it! :)
-
I know it! All of the quick fixes make me sick...I feel better watching jerry springer than Dr. Oz (usually). It's all trash anyway!
-
Just did 2/1A last night...it kicked my butt! I'm a little nervous about the front squat push press but I think my balance will get better. That move really works my balance more than the quads, but I think that's a good thing. Wrists are gonna be challenged by this stage I think but I think that's a good thing too!…

yup!

I second the kashi comment - Kashi has a granola-ish texture, and it's full of protein and fiber.
-
Me too ladies. It's just the curse of being naturally muscular. I am always flipflopping between wanting skinnier legs and loving them because I'm healthy and strong.
-
My question, too. If you definitely don't want to go back to the dr., I would really suggest just keeping on what you're doing for a few more weeks or adding a few hundred calories. Or even look outside of your diet, like at stress. Are you extra stressed lately, are you getting enough sleep, drinking enough water?…

Congrats girl! You look fantastic and you must feel like it too!!
-
Great! It really looks like you've lost around your face! Congrats on your hard work. :)
