Work In???
I was at the gym last night. I was on the squat machine, I do 15 reps, rest 30 seconds or so and repeat. For a total of 3 sets. After my 2nd set I was stretching for up to 30 seconds, while on the machine, and a guy comes and asks if he can "work in". I don't know what that means, but I told him I was almost done, finished…

Female weight lifters
I've lost 50+ lbs mainly by dieting...I HATE cardio. I joined a gym yesterday because...well...I'm flabby. I want to look good at the pool, in cute clothes and overall feel good about how I look. I'm glad I lost the weight but have a ways to go still. My questions: 1) I know muscle weighs more than fat. How does one not…

Silly Question(s)...
SO I bought a dress size 12 as a mini goal dress to fit into for New Years...currently I'm a 16. Is that considered 2 dress sizes or 4 smaller? I thought it was 4 (because 16-12 = 4) but a co-worker says it's only 2 because there isn't a dress size of 15 or 13. Second, I'm completely motivated to fit into this dress, but…

I went to my desk and came back a few minutes later, she said, "you are getting so tiny!" I replied, "Tiny is not the word I would use, but thanks." Why is it so hard to…

What is TDEE???
I googled it and found a calculator and found numbers, it appears, I should increase my calories to over 2000??? I am not sure I understand it though. I see all these posts about TDEE and BMR and other letters out there, what is wrong with just counting calories?

Week 2 done - measurements
I lost 3.4 pounds, 1.5 inches in hips, 1/2 inch in waist and 1/2 inch in thigh - 0 in arm (though I do see definition). Anyone else taking measurements? I don't know to me 1/2 inch doesn't seem like a lot...I'm a little behind on my goal of 2lbs a week. But I didn't eat the greatest this weekend, so it's my own fault. How…

Anyone else??
I am going to be doing the last day of week 1 tonight. I am sore, but so far love Jillian Michaels. Anyone else finding themselves doing little exercises during normal activities? I am finding I am doing mini butt squeezes or inner thigh flexes while making coffee at work or getting water. Is it just me being obsessive or…
