I have bad posture too, it was really bad, but has slowly been getting better. My PT told me to adjust the mirrors in your car to the height that they should be when you are sitting upright. That way when you slink down, you have to sit up correctly to see out of them. Also, I have a desk job and was told to get an…

I'm 6'0 and I fluctuate between 155 and 152.5 on the scale. I blow my 5'3" friends away when I tell them how much I weight. I work out 5-6 times a week though and my weight has been on the ups since I have finally started cutting that last bit of belly fat away and increased my lifting weights. If I may ask, have you taken…

I agree with jacksonpt. But, something that has not been mentioned yet is affordability. In my experience, GNC/any other brick and mortar store are EXPENSIVE. I like to my protein powders to be at least 23grams of protein a scoop, taste well when mixed even in water, low in sugar (you don't need those extra calories), mix…

Agree with all of the above. Unfortunately, you cannot spot reduce. If we could you'd have a bunch of men walking around with a 6 pack and super skinny legs and arms. If you want a good ab workout though, I created one here: http://my.bodybuilding.com/workouts/workout-templates-details/Samiam2007/51ba0b450cf2057d032a5275…

I see a few things on here. 1) You are packing in too much food into one or two meals. You need to focus on 6 meals a day, Jamming in a huge lunch and dinner is not going to cut it. 2) You macros suck. You are consuming way too little protein a day and way too much fat. 3) Your diet is sporadic. You are going through the…

Just turned 24.

My workout is as follows Monday - Legs (leg press, hack squat, squat, calf raises, leg extensions, leg curls) Tuesday - Cardio (Elliptical 10mins, Bike 30mins) Wednesday - Abs (Crunches, crunch machine, plate twists, slide bridge, plank, weighted sit ups, Knee/Hip raise on parallel bars, decline oblique crunch, Thursday -…

I agree with the above. I am always very sore after doing legs for a few days after. It would be pretty intense if you really medically hurt your legs. Anyways, it is just your quads that hurt, right? So, do other workouts on different parts of your body - abs, arms, chest, back, etc. That is why you have a different…

Alright so I am seeing a lot of negatives on the sugar intake. Watch that first. You do not want to be consuming too much sugar. On most days you were way under your calorie intake. Don't do that! Your body is saying "whoa, she isn't feeding me, I need to start storing something must be happening!" Don't worry about not…

If you are on P90x why are you not taking your recovery shake? Are you out? If you are weight lifting and muscle building that is when protein is very essential for the muscle repairing. But if you are just continually doing cardio, and not lifting, you should not be too focused on protein sups. But as most have said…

Don't do juicing it is unhealthy and burns you out quickly. I can't see your diary, but can make a few guesses. Are you working out? How many days a week? You should try doing HIIT and work out at least 5 days a week. Be super strick and honest with yourself on your diet. When you are large, it is easy to lose weight in…

If she is wanting to lose weight I would suggest no more than 2,069 calories a day. It wouldn't hurt if she could get up and walk around and do some exercise too. Let me know if you need help on a meal plan.

Sarah, have you measured at all? Sometimes the biggest gains aren't from the weight loss but the drop in inches around your waist or hips or the increase in your biceps and forearms.

Some of my breakfast meals: 1) (3) Egg whites and whole grain toast 2) Protein Shake with water and strawberries 3) Oatmeal (no flavoring, just plain) with a tsp of honey, pinch of cinnamon and 1 cup of milk. Sometimes I will add strawberries of blueberries 4) (4) Turkey Sausage links for Jimmy Deans (awesome booster of…

A lot of good responses have been given. You best bet is to open up your food tracker and get advice on what to cut out/add in. How many lbs are you losing a week? Ultimately, muscle burns fat, so work out at least 5 days a week and build up your muscles.

I just finished a bag of GNC chocolate that I had. It mixes very well and the taste is good, but it is too expensive.

I have been working out 5 days a week, but notice that sometimes I taper off with energy for my workouts, so I have started taking a pre-workout drink. So far the results have been pretty good and so I will continue to use that even after the 4 week mark.

You are basically going to get a whole bunch of responses from people with their opinions and their own plans that worked for them, but what you need to focus on is what works for YOU! I eat 6 meals a day - Breakfast, lunch, dinner and 2 snacks. I eat carbs, veggies, fruit and TONS of protein. But, I am working out 5 days…

CW - 156.

I am doing the abs diet and they have a whole section of strictly ab exercises. I agree with some of the above, planks and bridges are nice. I broke my ribs awhile back, so crunches hurt like crazy. So I have to different exercises that will not hurt more than the occasional burn. Here is a link I found that might be able…

6'0" here and 160. My most was 165 and my lowest was 130 when I was 16. My boyfriend weighs 180 and can't believe we are close in weight. "Thanks baby that makes me feel so special" :/

20 minutes of ab workout and legs. Then 20 minutes on the treadmill. I caved and had a snickers bar today...now I have to run double time to make up for it.

I am in. Would like to lose a few pounds and do more toning.

When that happens to me I like to throw in a fruit to spruce it up a bit. An orange slice or a lemon always helps me. You also have to think that maybe you are hydrated. Typically when working out you get thirsty and so that water tastes a whole lot better, but if you are not thirsty, then you are not dehydrated.
