Calories... Daily or weekly?
Let's say I am aiming for a deficit for 1lb per week. I have no problem maintaining this as a weekly average, where I eat really well and clean during the week, but splurge on (mainly healthy) food and (not too healthy) drink on the weekend. If I am mainly hitting my macros, while having some 800-1000 cal days during the…

Before and Afters - 30-40lbs lost?
Hi! The before and afters are AMAZING! I'd love to see what some 30 to 40 lb weight losses look like. I know we are all built/shaped differently, but more curiosity. I'm 5'5" and trying to get from 163 to about 125.

Can't even start..... help!
I'm doing some workout videos at home, and am embarrassed to say that my upper body is WEAK. By weak, I mean I can't even do half of a lady push up from my knees. When the video has us do push ups, I can move maybe 3-4" and that's it. I can even get to the point of feeling that it's helping me because the strength just…

1000 cals a day??
I've been reading and I KNOW that even 1200 cals a day is considered low. I bought the 10 minute trainer program (Tony Horton) and included is a 10 day diet to "jump start" -lose a pants size in 10 days. It's got lots of good, healthful foods, tonnes of protein & veggies but averages out to 1000 cals a day. I know better,…

Weight loss/Muscle gain simultaneously?
I'm new, and learning a lot. I've seen many comments that state "You can't gain muscle on a calorie deficit". So if I am strength training and cardio, while averaging a net of 1200 cals a day and trying to lose fat, the strength training is moot? I don't really see how that works when I can FEEL the sore that means I am…

Calories are just calories - even as alcohol?
I know calories in/out = weight loss. If I'm aiming for 1200 cals a day, and want to have a couple of glasses of wine a few nights a week - which is 340cals for 2 glasses - and can fit it in without wanting to binge/overeat/insert everything else negative you hear about alcohol and weightloss here, is it really a bad…

Loose-ish skin
Wondering if anyone has found something that actually works to help firm up looser skin? I don't really believe in any of the creams etc, it all seems like snakeoil from what I've read lol. I've been packing 30-40 extra pounds for close to 5 years now, and I am curious if there's anything I can do to help my skin…

What's better? Short and intense or longer and less intense
Curious. I am quite out of shape right now and have just started them ten minute trainer. I find the workouts quite challenging but am trying to do 2 a day. I have been splitting them up - one in the morning and one at night, rather than 20 minutes back to back. I start the second time fresh and full of energy that way.…

Hello!
Figured I may as well jump right in! I'm 33, a mother of three (16, 13 and 11 months), married and desperately need to lose 30lbs. I'd like to lose 40 all together, but 30 to start. I'm buying the 10 minute trainer series tonight to give me something to start with (and I know it wont be 10 minutes a day) as getting to the…

10 minute trainer
I did a quick search and there wasn't a whole lot to read Wondering if anyone has tried it and if it's worth it? I'm planning on buying it tonight to give me something to start with. I know I'll do more than the one workout, but I like the idea of being able to squeeze in 10 intense minutes here and there. I'm fairly out…
