Lunges and Squats are the best for toning the butt...How is your form when you do them? Tighten your butt as your coming up and do them slowly... A dvd is out there for them that I've heard is awesome for toning those glutes: Brazilian Butt Lift...I think you can find it in the same place you can find the dvd for P90X....

How much are you down by the next Friday? And more than likely, if you weigh after you've gone to the bathroom....water weight.

I never tried Protein Shakes for any type of meal replacement...I use them for my inbetween snacks as long as they don't go over 200 calories...they have to be high in protein and low sugar/low carb...

Stressors affect how much cortisol your body makes. When you are stressed, more cortisol is produced which is a major weight gain in the stomach area for a woman..... And we all have daily stressors. Some are good and some are bad. The worst ones are the bad ones, for anyone. It affects a lot of areas of the body but as…

Yes!!! And it pissed me off!! The drs scale showed me 9lbs higher than at home and I KNOW there is no way I am 9lbs heavier...my clothes won't fit right if I was... I stick with mine as more consistent...

You should be eating 40% on protein and 30% each on fat and carbs...Unless you're eating an over abundance of protein it doesn't hurt to eat more...there are some who workout that eat way more protein than they should but they also know to drink a lot of water along with that, but those are people that are body…

She should not, for one thing eat below 1200..that is a minimum for her body to even be able to sustain itself in just DAILY normal activities. She should be eating back at least most of her exercise calories as she needs to replace the calories used up by the EXTRA calories she's burning by exercise. When you don't eat…

Yep, when you're not used to drinking so much, your body adjusts to that by getting rid of the excess as well as toxins in your system..it takes about a month or so for your body to adjust to it enough to slow down on hitting that bathroom every 15mins or so... I drink 8 or more a day typically but don't hit the bathroom…

Bump

LOVE IT!!!! LOL

I'll send you a msg to explain it and show you an example of mine and the website that calculates it for you ..

I take 1000 mgs of Vit C daily.....

Don't worry about eating too much protein, unless you are on a VERY HIGH protein diet wherein you would have to drink lots and lots of water to protect the kidneys... as to being over on your vit C & A.....Your body gets rid of any that you are over on...It only uses what is needed and gets rid of the excess.... Look for…

How about those BACK sweaters???? EEEEWWWWWWWWW

I prefer my hubbys hairy chest....But on some guys, no chest hair looks good....

I love a good cup of Earl Grey...either decaf or regular and put a tsp of honey in it......

thanks!

You could also try some calorie cycling...I did it and within about 2 1/2 weeks I started dropping the weight again...I was stuck on a plateau for almost 5 weeks when I tried it...I had even switched up my exercise and it wasn't working....but the calorie cycling did....

Throw the cabbage in towards the last of the cooking....about 15 mins....

the net is actually what you ate after the exercise calories were subtracted...

It is saying that you haven't eaten all of the calories needed to keep your body working efficiently because you worked off most of the calories by exercising...which means you have 832 calories remaining to eat...but if it's late and you're not hungry, don't worry about it... But, I would try to figure my exercise…

If it were me...I'd put in ALL my favorite veggies and spices...and eat away on it!!

Bump!

Don't stay under your daily limit of calories! And eat some if not all of your exercise calories back....You will not lose weight unless you are getting enough calories for your body to work efficiently.....and it won't when you're not eating enough calories....

I sent you a message.....

You definitely should be taking rest days because your body needs to have recovery days...Never work the same body parts every day either.. Cardio,Arms, shoulders one day....Cardio,back and chest the next day...take a rest day from weights but do cardio...etc....

Someone told me to take MSM daily...it's a supplement that's supposed to help with skins elasticity retention.....

I'm 49yrs and since 2002, when I was about 42yrs, I have lost a total of 80lbs.....I started out with WW's, Curves, Tae Bo, walking, strength/toning and now Zumba as well...I also instruct Zumba classes.....

If you stick with it...stay consistent and check out all the tips and hints..you'll do great!! Don't worry if its a slow go at first as slow and steady is better than FAST!! Everyone here is helpful and full of encouraging words.... You will love it!!!! =)

bouncing around like that for a couple of weeks..more than likely water weight....and that comes and goes daily... if you plateau like I did, 5 weeks long at the same weight, scale never moved! I ended up Calorie Cycling or what they call Zig-zagging....in the middle of the third week, the weight started coming back off...…
