Great mother

Beach babe!

You can focus more on muscle endurance than gain, so that way excess calories won't be added and fat wont be gained. And with increased endurance comes slight strength gain. Once you lean out more you can always switch up to strength/size. To work more endurance go with the weight needed to reach about 15 reps rather than…

Woman, an inch loss is amazing! And you just recently upped your cals, you won't see a change in the scale right away. Your body has to adjust and in doing so is working on replenishing your glycogen storage and such. Most people see an increase in the scale at first because of this, so the fact that you did not, and have…

if you don't normally do cardio start with some brisk walking for like 30 minutes then once that gets easy add interval training into the cardio (HIIT) there is also an app called C25K (Couch to 5k) that helps ppl train

DEAN!!!!

YES! EVERYONE, and I mean EVERYONE, can get fit. Do you have to get ripped and have all super low bodyfat to be fit? Hell no. Being fit is being healthy and our bodies WANT that more than anything. If you get sick from training you are either pushing yourself too hard for your level, not eating the right foods (hence not…

I can't do it without my pre-workout... You can try coffee, but that usually messes with the gut too much!

Binging is usually caused by not eating enough during the day, or being way too strict in your diet. Are you doing any of those? Also, it's perfectly ok to have a snack after dinner. Your body doesn't treat the food differently.

1) There's NO REASON to starve yourself and at 1200 calories that's what you're doing. Eating so low will make you grumpy, crabby and feel like poop. You can lose weight (and will) eating at a higher amount. 2) It's VERY COMMON to go up a cpl pounds after starting a new exercise routine. Your muscles swell up and you…

Yeah, I knew. I didn't wanna believe it, but I knew. The person doing the cheating ALWAYS acts different, no matter how hard they try to hide it.

12 lbs in a month is awesome!

A lot. lol. Then and now. Every Saturday I'm usually puttin back about 4,000 calories!

There aren't any exercises to lose your calf muscles. If you don't want muscle there, you don't exercise them.

UPDATE: Last day to enter is today! ends at midnight!

You gotta change how you cook food girl! I can make 4 chicken fajitas filled with peppers with sour cream and cheese for under 450 calories! And they are FILLING! Stop using butter, use leaner meats, use less cheese or buy the reduced fat version- get it cut real thin at the deli. For breakfast eat up on some greek yogurt,…

Burgers made with 96/4 beef is very low in fat and full of protein. Just sayin'.. mmmmm More meat please nom nom nom

Soup diets are stupid, a long with any other kind of fad diet. You're not gonna lose fat, just water weight and glycogen. No quick fixes ppl.

I got married 5 years ago. Since then I got a ton fatter, but then I lost it and now I am 6 sizes smaller! And only 5 lbs lighter lol. Hubs has gained... a lot... :(

Cleanses are a SCAM. Your body naturally cleanses itself. Drink lots of water. There's your cleanse!:drinker:

Wow. Just wow. Just shows you how much bad information there is online...

this.

*raises hand* GIRL I KNOW I HAVE TOLD YOU THIS!!!!! lol My weight loss was done on 55% carbs. CARBS = FUEL. Your body NEEDS them.

Actually, yup lol. That's why catchin' your zzzz's is so very important for good health!!

The best way to "reboot your nervous system" is by taking a recovery day. Any kind of exercise just turns it on.

Eating before bed is fine, but you don't want to "binge" on junk and crap food every night just because you have the calories left over to do so. The type of calories you put in your bodies matter, as far as your overall health goes. Now I'm not saying you can never eat junk- I believe everything in moderation is just…

It's extremely hard to gain muscle just from cardio. You'd have to be training with some serious resistance. Now you can lean out to the point the muscles you do have are more defined, but that's completely different.

There are on-line personal trainers, and I've considered doing this as well when I get my certs, but I think the main problem with this would be the lack of being able to really set up a specific program. In person a trainer would do an array of fitness assessments that would help determine your cardiovascular health, your…

wow. I can't believe all these terrible experiences being shared!!! As a person currently studying to be a personal trainer, I could never fathom treating people in such a manner as you guys have described, These so called "trainers" ought to be ashamed of themselves!!!! The whole point of this profession is to help people…

exactly. You have to be overconsuming this stuff for it to cause any medical issues. One diet pop a day isn't nearly enough to cause any kind of damage. Just like a little bit of chocolate every day isn't going to make you fat.
