Building muscle, losing weight but pants are too tight
I have been losing a lot of fat and can clearly see my stomach and waist shrinking. I'm building muscle at the same time. Now, before I had gained weight a year or so ago, I was a pants size smaller. Now I can barely fit into the pants I've been wearing which are a pant size bigger! Is this only because of muscle gain?…

Hard time figuring out amount of calories to eat

Each day I do 30 mins of cardio and 30 strength training (sometimes I do an all cardio day here and there) my main strength training routine is switched up every 4 weeks (I do this routine 3-4 days a week) then my other one changes each time (I do this one 2 days a week). I…

balance between calories too high/too low and exercise
I work out 4-6 times a week ( I aim for 6 and usually hit 6 days, but occasionally the schedule throws some curveballs at me!) I do 30 mins of cardio and 30 mins of strength training each day I work out. My strength training switches up a LOT and usually involves kettle bells or some sort of more cardio based exercises.…

5 day detox with clean foods
I generally eat clean, we hardly have any packaged or processed foods in our house. Lately we have eaten out a few times, and I've had more carbs than normal. I feel a bit bloated and sluggish. I have never done a "detox" but was thinking it would be an ideal time to try one. What kinds have you done? I want to keep it to…

Why is the fat loss stalled?
I work out 5-6 days a week doing 30 mins of cardio and 30 mins of strength training. I was eating 1200 calories where I'd eat back my burned calories, so my net was 1200. I recently switched to TDEE -20% and not eating back my burned calories. So 1700 but don't eat back burned calories. I switch up what cardio I do and…

How many weeks before you lost weight on TDEE -20%
I just started eating TDEE -20%. I hear you gain weight first before you lose. Just curious as to how many weeks you gained for before you started to lose? I know it's different for everyone but I want a general idea so I know when to start worrying ;) I've been doing TDEE -20% for almost a week and gained 3 lbs. still…

Stuck on those last 2 inches! Help!
I have stayed just about the same weight (give or take .5 lbs) for a month now. My inches are still slimming down, but slower now. I've gained muscle for sure as I can see it in my arms and feel a lot stronger. I have improved in leaps and bounds for my timed planks etc. but I feel like I've hit a plateau as far as fat…

caloric intake and burning...how much to consume?
I am at week 11 in my workout. I have lost 6 lbs total....and that was at the beginning. I know I am gaining muscle because I can see it (especially in my arms!!) and feel it, and I am losing inches. The scale not moving doesn't bug me ALL that much because I'd rather lose inches anyway and gain muscle. BUT here is where…

What is a good supplement for women?
I have been working out 4x a week for about 2 hours a day, and eating clean. I try and keep my calories around 1200, plus eating what I have burned. I had been taking GNC's Active Women's Vitapack, but ran out. Before I buy anything else, I thought I would ask everyone here what they recommend. I'm looking for a mix of…
