  • Just keep pressing. Try to work in some more muscular toning excersizes. Never birthed a child myself, but i know it does a number on abdominal muscles. Get in a variety of workouts, do strength training a couple times a week, and cardio a couple days a week. A lot of people get too focused on diet, and it seems, judging…
  • I have lost a lot of weight just by eating like a runner would eat, and running about 3 miles a day 4-5 days a week. I have progressed a lot further than that now, but lost 25lbs initially like that.
  • lol... I am in the Navy and i have seen people FAR older and WAAAAAY over weight, drop 30-40 lbs. Age does indeed slow your metabolism... BUT... I have lost a lot more weight now (mid 20's) than I did in highschool... and I don't feel like I am trying as hard now
  • What he said^
  • I have dropped over 100lbs collectively over the last 5 years. I ALWAYS have a cheat day, even to this day. Friday night I always grill and have some beers. ALSO, be very careful not to work out EVERYday. I actually ran into a problem with sleeping through the night because i had been running 3-6 miles a day 6-7 days a…
  • I to have gone black and never gone back... with coffee... I am equal opprtunity with most foods though...
  • And you need to be careful with almonds... The high fat content can cause deposits in your legs and such... I was doing a diet that revolved around a few servings of almonds a day, and after a few weeks I had a large bump right around the top of my boot... Doctors determined it was a fat deposit, and I later had a friend…
  • My boss told me about this website yesterday... she lives and breathes by some of thier workouts.
  • I personally hate going to the gym for that reason. I always feel like my routine isn't as effective or intense, and I stare at machines trying to figure out which one I want to use (because someone inevitably is on the machine I planned to use), then i stand around like an idiot for 20 minutes until I end up on a…
  • That is an excelent suggestion... even a webcam or something to just compare yourself. You are your worste critic, and you will not be as lenient on you about your form =)
  • Sorry Britlem.... Let's try to get this thread back on topic. Look into the "couch to 5k" program for a little endurance building if that's what your interested in. as far as at home workouts, look into different programs... Not every program works for everyone. Perhaps kettle ball workouts would be a good inexpensive…
  • often directly connected to cockiness and a false since of toughness - addisondisease LOL - me
  • Can this guy be blocked? Do YOUR research... it is indeed hormone and extreme cases cause noticible "roid rage" . But irritablity and your page says you have, will be enhanced by any hormonal inbalances. Fact of the matter, there is a reason the FDA doesn't endorse them, and reasons they are banned for athletics and…
  • I really hate to honor this with a response... BUT... even if she were to get a personal trainer, and research forever on strength training, she would NEVER know everything about it. She isn't looking for be all end all... people here are mostly trying to get started. I came on here to help my wife, I have never tracked…
  • eesh... need to have some calories to get the burn started for the day =/
  • I start just about every morning with some kind of dry cereal.... occasionaly I will add just enough milk to wet the bowl. I try to stick to something either high in fiber to fill me up, or something sugary (Cap'n crunch is my favorite) to help curb the craving for junk food. and I drink a TON of coffee... the caffeine…
  • wow... that doesn't seem motivating at all... I think she wants some input from the message board full of people doing the same thing... sounds like research to me =)
  • Hello all, I am Active Navy, Information Systems tech (IT) stationed at NAB Coronado, getting ready for recruiting duty. Getting myself prepped up to represent the Navy near my hometown =) ... I want to make sure that I stay fit, and get in even better shape, so I can help make future sailors into what the navy needs them…
  • When i was around 250 I was called "Butterbean" by a few different people... Butter bean was much larger, but short blonde hair and HUGE.... since losing the weight, I haven't really gotten anything... Don't know if that is good or bad.
  • Your body is adapting to the lower calorie intake. If you are not looking to deprive yourself of any nutrition, you will just need to up the tempo of your workouts a little. maybe add an extra 15 minutes to your zumba, or increase the pace/distance of your walk. Could work your way up to a jog. My wife used something…
  • I would find a friend who knows the proper form, or can watch on youtube or something, to critique you and help you get the form correct.
  • Another thing I used to use a lot was the "Charles Atlas" Dynamic tension workouts. Look up charles atlas and you will find a lot of gym free excersizes without need to buy anything =)
  • I only read the first page, but this is desperate for man's perspective. I am imagining you haven't been married more than a couple years or less. I am also thinking it is not him try to be in control of what she does, but more so that he wants her all to himself. Let's face it, if I looked like Brad Pitt, my wife would…
  • I am looking to buy a Garmin 305. it has GPS to give you accurate pace and distance, along with speed, and from what i have heard/seen, it is the best value for what it can do. If you are looking for something for all day, a pedometer is fine, just remember they can be a little inaccurate if you drive down a bumpy road…
  • skip the bun and use 2 burger patties with cheese in the middle... PROTEIN!!!!!
  • I am a CFL (command fitness leader) for my command. After training, the standards aren't actually higher for officer's in the sense that they are not required to be more fit (except maybe pilots/spec war) depending on your current fitness level, working on running 2-3 miles to train for the running, and strength training…
