I totally agree with this! I went to go see my doctor because i was getting that feeling every time i was on the elliptical, treadmill etc. . I unfortunately have a bunion and it started hurting as well. That's when it became a concern. I went to see a specialist, they hooked me up with custom made orthotics and there is a…

Log everything, wether good or bad. It may not have calories, but it could be an eye opener of how much you consume. ( Diet coke amongst other diet beverages have aspartame which makes you bloated)

I weighed 190lbs when I started. I would do weight training from Monday to Thursday always, and sometimes Friday , targeting different parts (also don't forget to stretch and warmup!). Heres an example: Monday : chest & biceps. Tuesday: back & triceps. Wednesday: legs Thursday: shoulders & abs. Friday: chest & biceps.…

You can actually make a pizza crust with mashed up cauliflower!! Also another very different option, flatten 1 boneless, skinless chickn breast and cook completely in the oven, then add your tomato paste, vegetables, little bit of cheese. The guy from Fit 2 Fat 2 Fit has videos on youtube for that (amongst other amaaazing…

Give it a few more weeks. If after one month there is still no changes, change up your workout routine. Your body could be used to it, give it a shock by trying a few new workouts. Even join a class like kickboxing!

Incorporate protein and complex carbs in your meals & eat more. Also it is perfectly normal for your weight to fluctuate. Dont stress! I barely ever look at my scale. Its a waste of my time, and it can be discouraging. You could be losing inches, but on the scale it could look the exact same.

When there is dye, the chances of damage is way higher. Ive been dying my hair since I was in the sixth grade. I did the mistake of cutting my hair and im not even kidding, ive had the same hair length for over 8 years. Ive been trying to make it healthier by not straightening it anymore, putting Moroccan oils, coconut…

Good to know!

If you really want to see results, my suggestion is to put the scale away completely and stick to measuring yourself! If you are working out, you may not see results on the scale. A perfect example coming from personal experience. I weighed 170lbs before i worked out 5x a week (cardio + weight training) and only ate…

Thanks guys! I just got back from a crazy intense non-stop kickboxing workout and I feel like I could really use some carbs right now. Always whole wheat.

There could be a reason behind why your eating so much at night. Plan 5-6 small meals a day in which most should contain protein! Here is an example from Jamie Easons livefit plan: Breakfast : 5 egg whites, 1 serving of starch & unlimited veg. Mid-Morning: Turkey, unlimited veg. Lunch: Lean meat (chicken breast, white…

I went from 140lbs to 190lbs in a few short months. This was because i was 18, living with my boyfriend, and drinking about 12 beers every single night. Sometimes more. I started losing weight, about 10lbs at a time. Once i was at 150-160, i started buying fitness magazines for motivation. The gym i was at was horrible, it…

I hate everything about reheating chicken. The texture, the taste, blehh. Not sure if this will help but if you are eating it plain like that, maybe instead try incorporating it into healthy wraps, salads, soups, etc. It livens up the taste a bit and wont be so dry. Another option, and this is my favorite!!!! I love SMOKED…

I know it isn't the end of the world to have a bit of it, but I have a clean eating plan that I stick to. And lard, is definitely not something that I want in my body because it is in no way good for me. But good idea kevinrbarger! Thankyou!

If you take propper vitamins every day (including some that help repair muscle tissue etc) and incorporate real protein (poultry, fish, etc) into your meals (including right after your workout), i really dont see why you would need protein powder.

He sounds like my dad. My mom goes for runs and sometimes the gym, and everytime he argues about it. I dont even think he knows why he argues about it. He just does. I believe that he is so used to my mom slaving away doing everything, cooking, cleaning, laundry, etc, that he just dislikes this sudden change. Hes now out…

There is nothing wrong with waking up hungry, but if it is keeping you up at night.. Carbs in the morning plus 6 egg whites and unlimited veggies. And if you eat 6 meals a day, you should definitely include protein in almost every meal. I dont mean yogurt or nuts or anything, i mean fish, poultry, even home made protein…

August '12. Its always an inspiration .

I need to start making smoothies again. Do you guys freeze the fruit, veg or is it all fresh all of the time?

You are answering your own questions. Dont do fad diets, eat more than 1200 cals a day, dont work out if you only care about a stupid number on a scale, and i agree with ready2rock206, she says its better to be 150lbs of muscle, than 140lbs of fat. You may become skinnier, but its going to be all flabby. I mean if thats…

I honestly just top it with spaghetti sauce and home made meat balls! Its surprisingly very good! I dont know about you but i like it spicy so i add red pepper flakes. And before i stumbled upon that, i would have it plain with assorted spices. Like italian spices or slouvaki spices. I wonder if it could be substituted for…

You stop seeing results when you stop challenging your body. Altering your exercise regimen every 4-6 weeks will help prevent plateaus. Mix up your workouts, easiest thing is to join yoga (or hot yoga!) , Zumba, something different! Do that at least once a week to get your muscles workin' on top of your normal routine.…

You wont lose weight if all your eating is junkfood. Plain and simple. WHAT YOU EAT has everything to do with losing weight, not exercising.
