I've done Insanity and Turbo Fire. For a beginner I agree with jordannamusca that you should try Turbo Jam or maybe Chalene Extreme. I was in a funk four years ago and started attending Turbo Kick classes at a local gym. I didn't even like aerobics classes at the time but I became addicted. Turbo Jam should be similar to…

Stress eating, depressed eating, boredom eating, been there done that struggle all the time. I really have to be careful about eating anything off plan because I don't want the flood gates to open. I have to get over it and start a new day tomorrow because the only thing worse is continuing the stress eating. I make a goal…

It's all about volume when you are going for muscle mass and hypertrophy. You can increase your volume by increasing your weight, reps, or sets. I recommend four sets instead of the typical three. Do drop sets so you can work up to heavier weight. And do six different exercises for the muscle group (instead of the typical…

I believe that 45% will get you weight loss and be a healthy level. Eat complex carbs. Bread isn't great. I recommend oatmeal, brown rice, and sweet potato as your starchy…

People are frustrating. Muscle is sexy and you can shape your body how you want. I leg press 500lbs and I can out-lift all but one man in my Body Pump class. I lift weights 6-7 times a week, I lift heavy, and I go to fatigue. That's how I got my size 4! I'm not bragging, I'm just sayin' I'm living proof that women don't…

Make sure you have a protein with your carb. Add a protein to your apple snack. I like plain Greek yogurt with a touch of crystal light in it for flavor and some blueberries. You seem to eat a good amount of vegetables. Don't see many complex starchy carbs though. If you add oatmeal to your breakfast that will help keep…

Hard to tell without a face so possibly if I were single.

I experienced something similar. I lost 45 pounds and had body image issues. My mind didn't realize what I had achieved until I looked at pictures later and all I could think was, 'that's me!' It's very important to surround yourself with supportive, positive people who can give you perspective of how great you actually…

Female Age 31 5'5" Starting weight 150 I didn't know my goal weight because I was training for my first Figure competition and had no idea what the end result would be since I have never pushed my body to the limits. I ended up at 121 as shown in my profile picture. Went from size 12 to size 1 at competition weight (not a…
