Remember that you are losing fat, but you are also building muscle. As you build the muscle, it will burn fat longer and you will start to see the pounds start to go.

Do you vary your workout? It sounds like your body has adjusted to the demands and you need to shake it up and change your cardio.

when I worked 3rd shift, I worked out right after I got off, then had a light meal and slept, had a larger meal just prior to going in and packed a healthy meal or snack to have during the shift. It worked for me.

I have worked out in the morning all my life. It is the best way for me to start my day and it works for me. The important thing is that you are working out. Find the time that is right for you so that you will continue to do it. That is the key to staying fit.

I know what you mean. I expected more, but there were only a few new faces. I work out from 5-630 am so there may have been an increase in the evening. I will see how it is over the weekend.

I was not very good at counting when I started. What I did was ate the way I normally did, but recorded everything I ate. This allowed me to see what I needed to cut out or reduce the portion size to stay within the limits I set for myself. You can try that for a week and then adjust your meals to meet your goals. Good…

I like the way I feel after a good work out. I work out early in the morning and it makes may day.

You can do weight training. You will be limited in most leg exercises, but that should not present a major problem. I broke my leg and continued to left with minimal interuption.

For me the morning is best. It starts my day and is a great way to wake up. I have whey protein before I leave for the gym. i have tried working out in the evenings, but had trouble sleeping.

Running will help, but to target your abs you need to do crunches, flutter kicks and leg lifts. These can all be done at home without any equipment and you can increase your reps as you get stronger.

The smile. It is all in the smile.;)

I would recommend against a vest or ankle and wrist weights. The added strain on your joints is not worth it. Instead, increase your cardio activity by changing your current workout. Nothing drastic, just more challenging. Raise your heart rate and you should see the results.

I try to go at least 4 days a week- 35 minutes on the eliptical every day with machine crunches and seated back extensions-and if I have time I will add some time on the stationary bike after the work out day one-chest and back day two-shoulders and lats day three-rest day four-arms, tris and bis day five-legs each day I…

I would start with getting my gym clothes out of the closet. Have a laudry bag or hamper in the laundry room or another area. It works for us.

I split my body parts up thru the week. Day one: Chest and Back Day two sholders Day three rest Day four arms tris/bis Day five legs I do machine crunches and back extensions with each workout as well as at least 30 minutse of cardio The question is how much weight are you doing? Start with a weight that you can do 8-10…

A personal trainer can be useful if you can afford one, but hard work and dedication can do that too. There are plenty of free exercise programs out there on the internet that you can pick and choose to fit your time and desired goal. A personal trainer will focus your efforts and encourage your training, but a good…

What type of shirt are you wearing? Cotton t-shirts are not the best. Try a sports type fabric like UnderArmor or a nylon.

They are. Use a weight you can handle and maintain control all the way down.
