  • Hi again Someone posted the following in response to my post. "I don't doubt your expertise for one minute, however I'm not so sure of your theory. If you bump up your calories to 3000 you are NOT still getting 600 from your fat stores, as your body will not use these stores whilst it is getting enough from the easier to…
    in Opinions needed on muscle building while lowering body fat Comment by cnwofor June 2012
  • About to go to work so will keep this short. Can you build muscle while losing fat. Most will answer No. Is it possible to lose fat while gaining muscle in a year, 6 months, 3 months.

  • Nice to see a trainer that knows what she is talking about and is quite eloquent in explaining it! Stick to that trainer :) I totally agree with the OP and her trainer but let me expand on things a little :) The important thing with successful weight loss is to create a calorie deficit in a SAFE and SUSTAINABLE manner.

    in High Intensity Interval Training Comment by cnwofor February 2011
  • Hi there To answer your questions properly more information would be needed. Your age, height, weight, the amount of calories you eat daily and how long you have been eating at that level.

  • I won't pretend I understand your situation as I am a dude but having worked with women that have had multiple children ( I am a personal trainer) I can tell you for sure it is feasable to work your way to a much sexier mid section. Just keep moving forward. I see you are halfway to your target goal so keep going.…
