So I have had my fourth baby and I as usual have about 20 lbs to lose. I have been toning up pretty good, thighs going down, arms sliming...but my baby belly (that pooch over the top of the jeans) just isn't going anywhere.

FYI: You need to build muscle to replace fat, and the more muscle, the more calories you will burn naturally. You will not buff up unless you were a fanatic.

I try to have a protein, grain, and either canned fruit or veggies. I like how…

I found it strange when I put on my workout today that it pushed up my calories allowed to 400 extra! I think I will just stick to the calories that it suggested at the beginning. Why put in the same calories that you just worked so hard to burn off?

I hear you! I stay at home as well, and I have 4 children, 8, 6, 3, and 1. Exercising is definately a challenge. I have been working out 5 days a week for the last 2 weeks and dieting for the last month. I have a 30 lb weight loss goal, and I have already lost 8. The working out has really started toning up my body (after…
