Tightening that lower body...
I have lost the lbs and now I want the MUSCLE. I lift heavy and I must say I'm extremely impressed with my upper body, however, the lower body is so SLOW to respond (about a year into heavy lifting). I do not eat back my exercise calories, therefore I'm operating at a deficit. I eat clean (no processed foods, fast foods,…

Tight *kitten*...can we actually lose the battle?
So, I've been training virtually every part of my party for the past year (crazy kitchen cleanse for 8 1/2 weeks now) and the one part of my body that is slowly or not responding, depending on who you ask, is my backside! I have lost over 75lbs since my son was born (just turned 2 last weekend). I squat, lunge, deadlift,…

Fasted Cardio and Heavy Weight Training
So I have been reading up on "fasted cardio". My normal routine had become about 100min of heavy weight/circuit training, followed by about 15-20min of cardio (elliptical, treadmill, bike, stair climber, etc.). I was quite successful, however, I decided to bump it up a little and went to 60 min of heavy weight training and…

I'm eating more, but how big of a problem are m&ms?
So, I'm a heavy lifter. I gym-it about 2 hours a day, 6 days a week (alternating muscle groups). Lately, I'm snacking on those damn m&ms like, well candy! It might be the holiday or it might that I'm not eating enough. What do you think? Here are some basic stats: 5'9 150lbs 1570 calories Since I'm still looking to lose a…

Toning that Tummy After Children
So my son is 16 months old and while I am officially at my wedding weight, I am left with a bit of loose skin around my tummy. There is still fat to be lost and I am continuing my journey of tightening. However, any mothers out there that had a similar problem and have since gotten rid of it? I don't want to think about a…

Doing it all right or am I?
34 years oldF/5'9/167lbs. So I've been on MFP for about 2 months now. I have a desk job and while I may wander around the office, I am technically sedentary. I do have a 15mo old and we do move around but not crazy chasing. Plus, following a "strict" regime that includes daily exercise (circuit training with weights and…

Losing hope...
So I had a baby about 14 months ago and have lost the baby weight (45lbs), but am struggling losing any of that happy weight I put on after marriage. I need to lose about 10-15 lbs and while I'm working hard at the gym (5-6 days a week, and a 30-day squat challenge) and tracking, I seem to be falling flat. Is there…
