Should I add cardio?
Trying to lose fat/weight. Eating at a 15% cut right now, my diet has a lot of protein like chicken, fish, eggs and nuts, along with fruits and vegetables and a lot of water. I do weights for 30 minutes 2 - 3x a week along with a couple of short pilate workouts (mostly for legs since I'm a pear shape with a bit of…

Tips for cellulite....HELP!?
Never had it until I gained about 20 pounds. My mom never had any until she gained some weight either so I don't think I'm doomed with bad cellulite forever because of genetics. I'm hoping that when I lose weight it will reduce but is there any other advice? I've heard mostly just reducing body fat by eating at a deficit…

How big of a cut should I make?
I'm trying to reduce my weight and body fat. I'm aiming to lose about 15 - 20 pounds so I know I probably won't lose more than 0.5 pounds a week which is fine. I've had some people tell me to eat at a 15% cut from my TDEE and others say 20 - 25% so I'm not sure what is right. I want to effectively lose fat so if eating at…

Doing the right things?
I'm trying to lose weight, lose body fat, and hopefully reduce my cellulite and saddlebags a little bit. They're not bad but I'm unhappy with them. I never had cellulite until I gained weight, it isn't in my genetics since my Mom and Grandma both don't have it unless they gain weight. My goal is about 118 - 123 pounds, but…

Activity level?
Trying to figure out what my activity level is so any help is appreciated. I don't exercise a whole lot because I don't have a lot of spare time with my job. I work in fast food, lots of running around doing this and that. The job keeps me moving all day, and sometimes I have to walk 1/2 either to or from, or sometimes to…

Someone explain what 'heavy' lifting is?
Everyone talks about heavy lifting but I'm not even sure what that is. **Please understand now that I cannot go to a gym. I can't afford that, my parents won't let me, I wouldn't have transportation and so on. I have to make due at home. For example, when I do squats with my two 10-pound dumbbells, I can do about...15 reps…

Why did I GAIN weight?
Here's my story. I went from about 146 pounds to 139.8 pounds in about 5 weeks. I ate about 1600 calories every day (my TDEE is about 2100 - I'm using Scooby's Workshop to figure out how many calories to eat), and I lifted weights 2 - 3x a week and I'd walk for about 30 minutes 1 - 2x a week, only sometimes, but if I…

Breakfast is typically healthy whole grain cereal with skim milk and some fruit, like strawberries and bananas, or toast with peanut butter on whole grain bread Lunch is generally omelets with vegetables, or a salad with 4 -5 different veggies, some sort…

Should I do cardio?
I'm following the In Place Of A Road Map weight loss plan. I found out my TDEE and BMR and three calculators said to eat about 1600 - 1650 calories, and I've done that for a couple weeks and I've lost 5 pounds. However, it's been a bit slow, and I'm not sure if I'm losing fat since my inches are the same Basically, for…
