love it!!!

Hey. My mom has a really hectic schedule as well, so she does batch cooking on the weekend. she preps and prepares as much as she can on Sunday so it's all ready for the week. It makes it a little easier later. Good luck!!!

Didn't mean to make it sound like she should overlook it completely. That is why I emphasized to drink A LOT of water towards the end of my statement. The water will help flush some of it out of the body. Thank you for pointing this out. Very good correction. :)

Hey, I took a quick look at your diary. If you don't have high blood pressure, don't worry too much about sodium. If you eat A LOT of processed or pre-packaged foods, that has A LOT of sodium in it to make it last longer. When shopping, try to stay on the outer perimeter of the store. More fresh and organic is better for…

I did take it to help jump start as well. It was okay. I actually prefered my slimquik. The zantrex made me feel jittery. The slimquik helped regulate my hormones and also helps with bloating. Would take it a few weeks at a time and then stop. :) I hope this helps. And good luck!!!!!!!!

YES!! Gotta refuel!!!

Welcome back!!! Good luck next week!!! Will pray for you!!!

I originally picked my high school as goal because that's the last time I was small.That didn't last long though, because I'm weight training as well. I didn't have very much muscle tone then....Soon, I was in my 140's and already in the size clothes that I was in high school. So, I went from tracking weight to tracking…

My mom is a personal trainer and my boss is a personal trainer. has been a trainer for over 30 years. No, you can't spot reduce. You are referring to muscle gains in those specific areas. Body Fat isn't just in…

Protein powder is mainly there to help introduce amino acids back into your muscles after a workout. Amino Acids are what helps heal your muscles. Plus, you're not as sore the next day with the protein shakes. I, myself, make a blended protein shake in the morning for breakfast. 8oz water, 4 ice cubes, 1 large banana, 2…

You'll probably see the scale number go up at first too. Don't fear it. It means that you are building muscle. As you build, your BF will start to go down and if you can stick with it, you should start to see results in about a month. :) Good luck. I lift as well. message me if you have any questions. bodybuilding.com has…

If you're a pear....I'm sorry, but you will always be a pear. I'm a pear as well. :/ You cannot "spot reduce", but there are exercises that you can do to help tone and define the area. Leg lifts while laying on your side. If you have Jillian Michaels Killer Buns and thighs..... she has the exercises on that dvd. I love…

I don't deny myself anything. I just don't overindulge. I'm also at maintenance. I did cut out more fast food "junk", sweets and snacks. I barely eat fast food now. Don't really miss it either. Always feel like crap after, so why put myself through that.
