Ladies, show me your butts!
Hey My Fitness Gals!! I wanna see examples of behinds that WERE flat and fat that were transformed into something impressive. I've been told it can't be done, if you have no butt you will never have a butt. Is this TRUE? Am I destined to have no butt forever? Or can I do crazy squats and lunges to build up my glutes? If…

Fighting!!!
There's this gym across the street from my place (from here on referred to as "Fight Club"!) that has classes doing kickboxing, MMA, kettle bell stuff, combat samba, and some weird wrestling thing. I'm really really really interested in joining if it's not too expensive, and I think I would be good at it and hopefully the…

My weight loss is stupid
So stupid! I think my first day using MFP was May 5th. In ALL of May I lost 10 lbs and I was so excited. But since The beginning of June to now, mid-July, I've only lost 5 lbs! For a grand total of 15 lbs in 2.5 months. Which I suppose isn't that bad but I can't help but wonder why that first month was so much more…

Does exercise really matter?
Sounds like a stupid & controversial topic, doesn't it? What I mean to say is.... #1 - If you stay under your calories just by eating VS. #2 - If you eat over your calories and then do exercise to burn off extra calories And the end of the day you end up with the same # of net calories. Is the #2 option going to make you…

Do you have flappy skin now?
Dear everyones, Here are my stats: SW 192 CW 176.4 GW 130 To any of you who are similar to this, and have gotten to or close to your goal weight, do you have problems with flabby excess skin? I feel like it's only the people who are like 300 lbs who will end up with this. I want to know what my chances are of having loose…

CARBS and BIG BELLIES
So I was watching an episode of Dr. Oz yesterday and it was all about big butts and big bellies. He was telling about how they're different and how you can fix it. For big bums, I don't really remember how to fix because that's not my problem. He did say that butt fat is healthier than belly fat BUT it's harder to get rid…

The Best Thing Ever
Someone posted a topic about aerobic exercise confusion, and another someone posted this article. I read the whole thing only to find the most important bit at the end. Thought I should share: "In conclusion, endurance athletes to shed a few pounds should substitute the long, slow, steady-state training that is making them…

Body shapes!!! Question!
Hi guys! So I was looking and wondering about body shapes. How delightful to have an hourglass figure, even now at 179 lbs. Even at 192 lbs. I carry the weight pretty well standing in an upright position. I consider myself fortunate to have this shape. But I was just looking at different types of body shapes, some I would…

Boyfriend hid the scale!
Monday was a horrible day. I was up a few pounds, I was sore all over, was overall blue, etc. I got over it! I started 30 Day Shred for REAL this time, today will be day 3 and already it's getting easier (I did it 2 times last week but had technical difficulties) and my endurance is even up. I was told that during these 30…

Need to VENT (and maybe a hug)
Last week was terrible. On Monday, I was over my calories by 700 (that was the night with the macaroni & cheese abundance). And then 2 or 3 days more I was over. My AVERAGE was over my 1200 allowed calories. In the middle of the week, I got the 30 Day Shred videos from the iTunes store, then tried to use it at home but had…

Flabby Triceps!
I bet many of you ladies have this same issue: all that floppy flab on the upper arms. GROSS. I've been trying to find out how to fix this, and apparently it's the triceps that need to be worked in order to tone that part of the arm. Does anyone have any advice of getting rid of that flab? Some good ways to work your…

TONING under all this fat... waste of time??
I keep hearing and seeing amazing results from P90X, Insanity, Ripped in 30, then Jillian Micheals kick your *kitten* thing... Honestly I've never heard a bad thing about it. Sounds fun (especially the variation since I get bored easily). But I'm still about 50 lbs away from my goal weight, kinda flabby, and I was…

How do you have FUN?
I started using MFP about a month ago and I love it. Started exercising almost daily. I have a Playstation3 so i got the stuff for PS Move and got a dancing game which is really fun! I also do Zumba classes for 60 minutes, twice a week. I don't like to run or jog, I'm not a gym member, and my friends are usually too busy…

Brand New and EXCITED!
I got a good tax refund this year. I bought an iPod Touch. While browsing the free apps, i found My Fitness Pal... Best decision I ever made! I'm 23, 5'4, and started at 192 lbs (now 182 lbs after one month!). While I am fortunate enough to have excess body fat in mostly the right places, I still am 5'4 and weigh this…

Diet Soda... Kinda sketchy?
I quit drinking soda when I was about 13. But now I'm starting to drink diet pepsi and diet 7up, zero calories, zero carbs, zero.. anything... These carbonated drinks taste great and make me feel very FULL. But how are they for my health? I know they contain aspartame which is known to cause migraines if you are prone to…
