What to eat
Im having a really hard time figuring what to eat. Theres always a new article or study about what you should and shouldnt eat to lose weight and I try not to read them but I do.. Are carbs bad? Will fruit make me fat? Should I cut out dairy? The list goes on and on. How many calories should I really be eating? I feel like…

Kettlebell workouts
I have heard some great things about kettlebells and found a beginners workout online but was wondering what your success has been using them over free weights and what the best exercises are.

Intervals
How often should you do treadmill intervals for weight loss? I will be walking on the days I am not doing the intervals (will be strength training as well) I will start off with 30 min, 2 min walk, 1 min run only because I am out of shape and don't want to try and jump right into running. But am not sure. I have heard once…

Hormone Imbalance and weight loss
So I went to see a Dr at the ER (do not have a family Dr, 3 years on a waiting list so no I have to use the crappy ER lol) Well he thinks I may have a hormone imbalance and wants me to come sit for another 8hrs (not an emergency so Ill be last) to get sheets for blood work. But he says this could be why I am exhausted,…

Stupid inner thighs lol
I carry my weight in my lower body and its a biotch to change the shape or size. I have chubby inner thighs and it is making it impossible to find pants and when I do I don't like how I look. I signed up at the gym and have a meeting with a trainer Friday and this will definitely be brought up. but I am looking at what I…

Hypothyroid
I was diagnosed 3 years ago with an underactive thyroid, the Dr at the time refused to treat me and I thought I finally found another one who would be he has also refused as I am "not too bad for medication" as he puts it. I am in the process of finding another Dr as I am done trying to convince them that my levels may not…

Front squat vs back squat
Can someone please tell me the difference...I got my barbell set and was looking for different exercises and some sites said to do a back squat and others a front squat....I want to really give my legs a good workout so would it hurt to do both?

Barbell Workout
I ordered a 100lb barbell set (2x25lbs, 4x10lbs, 2x5lbs plates ) I would like to do a total body workout with the barbell but need some ideas other than bench press and squats. Any ideas or sites I can go on to build a routine?

Doesnt make sense
I have been eating a ton of fruits and veggies (haven't logged as I had my laptop in the shop) I mean fruit at every meal and veggies (no dips) as snack and for dinner (chicken, eggs and fish as my protein at meals). I noticed the few days I did this I was beyond hungry...could have heard my stomach grumbling from a mile…

Cleaning calories
I notice there is always a big debate for if you should or shouldn't count calories from cleaning. Here is why I do and please feel free to correct me if I am wrong. I am doing a massive clean today, I mean my whole house top to bottom, I will be moving furniture, dusting the ceiling, vacuuming, carrying stuff out to my…

How many times a week....
Should you do weights? I found a 30 minute routine (longer if I do more sets which I plan to on days I am not working). I was thinking 4 should give me some results but it is a total body routine (lacking in time). I look online and some sites say 2 days a week, others say every other day and some say 4-5, what has worked…

At home workout ideas
I am looking for an easy workout I can do at home. I have 7lbs and 10lb weights, 15lb kettlebell and an exercise ball. I have looked online but some are like 60 minutes long or require some weird ballet/jumping movement and I have bad knees. I also do not have 60min 5 times a week. I am a single mom, work 60-70hrs a week,…

Cardio days
Okay I am 5'9 and weigh 190lbs..I just started back up so no food diary to look at yet. I drink 3L of water a day, I am lactose intolerant and have some gluten issues so I avoid dairy and eat lots of chicken, fish, fruit and veggies, I won't lie I do allow some treats, no where near perfect. Would love to lose 15-20 and I…

Confusion
So I have decided to finally put in the effort for some me time and to become a better, happier person after dealing with a brutal break-up with an ex who loves putting our 4 year old in the middle, all that stress of making sure he wouldn't become affected meant I never gave myself a moment to even breath and that…

100 calories?
Okay I have had a few people tell me that to lose weight you should eat 100 calories for every 10lbs of fat. One of my friends lost 1-1.5 lbs a week doing this. Has anyone else heard of this or had good results. 1880 seems kinda high to me

water
I have been drinking about 3-5litres of water a day (outside in hot weather a lot so that makes me drink more) My issue is I feel like a walking swimming pool lol. I feel bloated and huge and I am not sure if that is whats causing it and if so when will I lose all the water weight, TIA

How much cardio do I need?
I really do like to walk and its the best thing for me right now as I am a single mom so can just push my son in the stroller and I have a bad knee. I used to walk 3-4 hours a day, obviously not going to happen again but I was wondering. In order to lose the 18lbs I want with my reduced calories and 3 times a week strength…

PHEN375
Honest to God not looking to start anything I am just really curious. I was taking Oxy Elite Pro and it was the only thing that has helped control my appetite, I eat because of boredom, stress and because I run a home daycare so I pick at the kids snacks. It also gave me ridiculous energy to do what I had to do throughout…

Intervals
I am not a runner and I know the best way to get into it is to start off slow so I don't get injured or bored. I was thinking 1 minute running alternating with 1 minute walking for 20-30 minutes 3-5 times a week. When I did this a few months ago within 2 weeks my thighs firmed up a bit but of course I got lazy and stopped…

How often should I ...
do intervals on the treadmill? I want to start with 30 minutes, 1 minute running 1-2 walking. But I am not sure how often I should do this workout. My goal is to firm and tone and I notice when I used to jog (not consistent though) the fat came off my legs first, thank you God lol. But I do not want to overdo it and I…

Why do I do this to myself everytime
I always go on fad diets, I know their fad but I get so caught up in their promises. I tried Atkins, Nutrisystem, WW, Slim Fast you name it I have tried it. I am trying to find a healthy balance, I know if I have too many carbs I will gain weight but I am sick of carb free diets. I want to eat real food and not have to…

Intervals
I have been doing intervals for about 2 weeks now and finally I am actually starting to like it. I find doing them is the only thing that is getting rid of the leg fat and that is where it all loves to go lol. I walk for 2 min and run for 1 (7mph). Eventually my goal is to be able to run for 30 minutes straight, but I am…
