Exercise without losing boobs
:blushing: I want to remain my current cup size, but lose inches everywhere else. Right now I'm a 46B and wouldn't mind going down to a 36B. Most people lose weight in their boobs first. Is there a way to keep that from happening? :blushing:
Is my summer Diet a good diet?
I'm a director at a summer camp this year and am at a University campus for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner for free at their dining hall at least 4 days a week. While I'm on campus I've cut out meat and soda pop from my diet. The first week all I ate was fruits, veggies and tofu. I was probably eating 10+ fruits and 5…
It's about the Inches
This summer I have lost: 1.5 inches around my ribcage, 1 inch off of my gut, 1.25 inches around my hips, 1.5 inches around each thigh, 1/2 inch around my neck and 2.5 inches off of my chest, and 15 pounds. Now I'm maintaining weight around 208. I hope to be in One-derland by September. Calves have maintained and biceps are…
Inches are different across the body
I'm losing inches around my thighs and chest faster than I am aroung my gut and hips. Why is this? Is this normal? Will my waist eventually catch up when my chest and thighs stop losing?
My knees hurt from running =(
I've been training for a marathon. I was doing well. Then I went on vacation. I started my vacation out with an AWESOME 9 mile run (the best I've ran in years - which included a 1.2 mile stretch along the beach). UNFORTUNATELY, under my knee caps hurt for days. It ruined my running workouts the rest of the week. I'm not…
5'7" man 215lbs looking for what works for similar body type
If you are a guy that is about 5'7" and started around 215-225 lbs, then I want to know what worked or is working for you. I have a hard time finding something that works. I find myself just doing cardio, because I have little to no upper body strength. I'm trying to change that. But I would like to know what you did to…
7/11 Daddy needs a new pair of shoes - P90X
Are you feeling lucky? I am. And hopefully soon I will need new running shoes and some new clothes. If I get my goal weight by next summer I'm thinking about Las Vegas. I'm going to be running a lot. I am training for my first marathon. I'm only 5 weeks into my training. I haven't worked out in years. I am overweight and…
Ab Ripper X stretching suggestion for newbies
Believe it or not folks, but your abs are connected to muscles below your hips known as your hip flexors. If you are feeling sore around your hips and into your groin area by your inner thigh these are the muscles you need to stretch. If you feel like a 70 year old person getting in your car or standing up from the couch,…
hips unwidening? hip displacia?
I have been running for over a month for 3+ miles. I just started P90X Monday. I don't know where I got this pain from. My inner thighs, muscles around my hips and lower abs hurt. I did Chest & Back and Ab Ripper X on Monday. Could these be attributed to these pains? I've been eating lots of protein (1g per body pound a…
5 hour energy drink
I just tried my first 5 hour energy drink about an hour ago. I feel less tired and more alert. The strange thing is that the sore muscles I had seem to also feel less sore. Is this something to do with the niacin, the B6/B12, or the caffeine in the drink? Just curious if anyone has any info on this kind of drink for…
P90X Day 1 BLUES... =(
I completed Day 1 of P90X on Monday (Chest & Back and Ab RIpper X). I am so sore. I couldn't do Plyo last night, but did a 6 mile run/walk. Any suggestions? Should I try to push through the pain, stretch more, reduce the weight I used?
Losing inches but not weight
If I am losing inches but not weight does that mean that I am building muscle faster than I am burning fat? Am I burning fat? I am eating about 1g of protein per body pound of weight. I am working out by doing P90X and running.

What is the best way to cook meat?
I have chicken breast that is high in protein and low in fat. I want to keep those nutrients without destroying them. How should I cook it? Fry? Bake? Broil? Grill? Microwave?
A good diary for Phase 1 for P90X today?
Did my diary look okay for the Phase 1 diet of P90X today? I've upped my calories about 800 and trippled my protein to what I normally get. Let me know what you think. Thanks.
Confused about Fat
I am supposed to be getting 228g of protein, but staying around 42g of fat. This seems weird. All the good sources of protein has fat associated with it. Is it okay if I go over on 42g of fat IF they are mostly Monounsaturates (such as nuts)? Other than expensive protein powder that has no fat or carbs, what other options…
How do you stay within your sugar limits?
It seems impossible to stay at the right sugar level. Any suggestions?
Need low cal, low carb, low fat, high protein ideas
I seem to be good on most of my numbers, except I am really low in Protein. Any suggestions on this? I don't want to give up food/calories to substitute a protein drink to get my protein up.
Critique my food diary please
I want to lose weight (30-55 lbs) and train for a marathon. What do you think? Do my numbers seem right?
Am I right?
I'm a 5'7" male that is 215 lbs. The past two months I was eating 1200-1500 calories and burning 500 a day through exercise. Lately I read an article about deficit and BMR. I want to avoid starvation mode, burn fat, lose inches, lose weight and gain lean muscle. Did I understand it correctly? My BMR is 3000. I burn 0-1000…
Insanity, P90X lean, 30DS, or Ripped in 30?
I'm 215 lbs. I started training for a marathon 2 weeks ago. I just started upping my caloric intake to keep my body out of starvation mode and refueled. I drink a ton of water. My lower body is strong, but I'm not as fast as I once was. I'm pretty sure it is due to the spare tire around my waste. I need to lose weight and…
how many carbs, much fat, and how much protein?
I'm 215 lbs and 5' 7". I used to be a runner and line danced to stay in shape. Since getting married, my sedimentary job as a teacher and having a baby I no longer am in the shape I once was. I would like to get back down to 185 lbs at least. I have decided to run my first marathon in October. I am following a running…
Under 1500 calories and exercises without results
I don't understand. I run 3 to 7 miles four times a week (500-1000 calories burned each time). I drink 10 cups of water or more a day. I eat 1500 calories or less daily, with little to no fat. I'm maintaining my weight at 215 lbs though. Any suggestions?

I want lose a 1/2 lb a day for the next 66 days AT LEAST! I want to lose it and keep it gone. I'm trying a mixture of things including: elliptical running, pavement running (training for a marathon), P90X workouts and eating low fat and low carbs. Currently I am 215 lbs and this would put me back down to 182 lbs, which is…
Need Support
Okay. I just got told by the school I work for that I won't be the cross country coach next year. I'm sure it is because I'm overweight and out of shape at the current moment. I started working out on the elliptical last week. Today was my first 3.1 mile run outside in forever. It kicked my butt. I want to run a half…
