Skinny vs. Fit
I know this is a strange question, and PLEASE do not attack me for asking.... What diet/exercise do you do to get "skinny" vs. fit? I do not need to lose alot of weight, however, I am getting more fit..which "seems" to be great, but I do not want my body to go that way. I would prefer to get slimmer. I'm afraid Im going to…

Am I A Gym Snob?
Is there such a thing?? :wink: I go to the gym to workout ....not walk around and talk to people, hold conversations, try and look pretty. Some people kill me at the gym. Between the people who try to 'hook up", to the ones who think its a social hour. You gotta laugh!! I love the ones that come in all "pretty" with a ton…

I Don't Think I'll Ever Understand

Do Crunches Work?
I hear so many different opinions on this and wanted to hear from you guys. I've been doing about 100 crunches each day, am I wasting my time? I hear crunches work the muscles underneath your "skin" but will not tone up the areas. That just doesn't make sense to me. Doing 100 EVERYDAY must do some toning right??

I Know You Are Gonna Yell At Me....
I have lost 10 lbs in 3 months and you can't even tell. Now I am at a standstill (plateau) and am losing willpower to continue. It seems as though I am "toning" more than losing and my body isn't going in the direction I want it to. I have stuck to MFP and followed the "right way" to diet, however, I think to get to where…

Another Exercise Question
You know how they say not to exersice the same muscles two days in a row?? What happens if you do?? Will it prevent you from toning or losing weight?? I tend to do the same routine (sometimes I mix it up a bit) EVERY day. And I am seeing results. I know they say that your muscles need 24-48 hours to "heal" but what happens…

Confused On Changing Up Routine
Ok...I've read on this board so many times about how you shouldn't do the same routine...change it up, or your body will get used to it and (pretty much) not change. So....if I decided to do 100 crunches every day for 3 months, my body wouldn't change?? I don't understand?? I've been doing the same routine at the gym for…
