last 5-10 pounds pros/cons of low-carb
Hi! I am currently down to those last 10 pounds, and I have recently decided the number on the scale is not really as important as how I feel, so really I just want to lose a few more inches and do some serious toning. I have been stuck at my current weight for 3+weeks now, and I have switched up my excercise routine,…

How have your workouts progressed?
For me, 11 months ago when I decided to live a healthy lifestyle my workouts consisted of 30-60mins of playing Just Dance 2 on the Wii. Then after a month or so I got Jullian Michaels 30DS, after a few weeks I felt like I needed something more so I purchased an elliptical. Same thing, after a month or so I felt like…

Bootay
Does anybody know how often I can do body weight excercises (with my balance ball, and floor excercises) to help boost my booty? I lift 3 days a week, and hit my lower body atleast 2 of those days sometimes 3. But I dont focus a lot of attention on targeting just my butt, so I am wondering if it is "okay" to do little…

"Are you starving yourself?" VENT!
Maybe I am supposed to be flattered by this remark, but IM NOT!:explode: I was always lazy, sat around all day (Im a stay at home mom) so I am home all day, was in a really bad habit of eating crap and never excercising. Finally Feb 16th of this year, I got sick of it! I felt depressed, un attractive, un healthy, and I had…

Loose skin or fat? will this ever go away? (w/o surgery)
I have had 3 children, and with each pregnancy gained 50 pounds so I only have myself to blame for my stomach stretching above and beyond what was necessary. Anyway, I changed my lifestyle in February of this year. I have been eating well, and working out. Plenty of cardio and strength training. I have heard the saying…

Bad sugar vs. good sugar help
Does anybody know of a good article or something to explain the difference in naturally occuring sugar (fruit,veggies & milk) VS. added sugar (my yogurt and cereal) I am trying to set my sugar levels on MFP accordingly, but I want 3 servings of fruit a day and that puts me over their guidlines. I watch all the "bad" sugar…

NSV - results of my first assesment with a personal trainer!
It has been about 4 months since I started my new lifestyle, and I have never had any type of assesment done. I have been doing everything at home, running, weights, and we finally broke down and purchased a gym membership and it included a free 1 hr. assesment thing with a trainer. I was so nervous, because I have no clue…

increasing weight
So I have a routine I do 3x a week that includes squats, lunges and deadlifts with my 10pound dumbells. It has gotten fairly easy, and my husband keeps telling me to up my weights.

How important is a "rest" day?
I have read alot about having a rest day, but I am not really into that. Is it going to make a HUGE difference if I dont want to take a rest day? I dont push my body really hard everyday or anything, I have been doing the 30day shred everyday (5days now) and I do 45mins or so of JustDance2 and then go for walks most…
