music FUELS my workouts...my ipod has everything from britney spears to 50 cent to avenged sevenfold. for cardio i love upbeat techno; bob sinclair, daft punk, benny benassi, scooter, etc. and i LOVE making playlists for specific workouts!!

thanks so much guys...it means a lot. my meal plans have changed a bit. i try to change them up as much as possible while staying within my calories....but i've upped my calories, replaced my apple in the morning, with non-fat greek yogurt, and sometimes have a slice of whole wheat bread with...

welp. here i am. 9 weeks after my first post here on EF. i'm down 14 pounds since then, and 26 pounds since december. i'm currently weighing in at 161 compared to my high of 187. i honestly have never felt so proud of myself. i'm SO much stronger, and my muscle definition has come out like...

welcome! everyone here is so knowlegeable and has great advice. GOOD LUCK! xx

what about supplements/vitamins?

my goals...this is where i'm never sure how to answer. maybe feeling 100% comfortable in a bikini. weight wise, i've always felt that 140-145 was a good goal to shoot for, but i know the number doesn't mean anything....so i guess i'm not really sure what my goals are. just be as confident as i...

iron wings, i'd love more advice on my workouts..i'll take all the advice i can get from you guys. i've been lifting for a while, i mean i was in a gym when i was 16, obv. working out more seriously as i get older. i feel like it takes a lot for me to get that 'sore' anymore after a workout...

since my first post, i've increased my calories throughout the day (more protein), and taken about the carbs at dinner. but for the most part, everything is the same. drinking A LOT of water during the day (75 oz. or more) and maybe skim milk in a decaf coffee twice a week.

thank you everyone for the tips. since i first posted, i've increased my calories during the day. but i'm stuck in the habit of the protein shake in the morning, and i hate eggs....weird i know. i've always had a hard time getting enough protein first thing in the morning, since i don't eat...

ok well to elaborate more on my work out: my cardio usually is 40 minutes on the EFX machine, with a good amount of tension OR walking uphill @ like 4.0 w/ sprints @ 7.0 every so often on the treadmill. approx. weight (lbs.) i'm lifting for each part: bicep curls machine: 45-50 seated...

ok...i guess i'm confused by your post big sye. i carry a lot of muscle naturally, and i dont want to lose that muscle by not lifting. and i thought lifting burned a good amount of calories, and that more muscle mass you carry, the faster your metabolism, and more calories burned all around...

not sure really where to start. i'm 23 years old, 5'8, 175 pounds, and the last time i checked by BF% it was mid to high 20's. i'm looking to burn fat, and get super lean. i weighed appox. 187 the end of dec. i try work out 3-5 days a week...40 minutes of lifting/circuit training...
