bump! was going to ask but see you already did so i figured i would just bump it :)

wow! that simple??? you mean i can stop asking questions, thinking, and eating. That's it...i'll just stop eating and workout all the time! :rolleyes: that answer not only is "the easier way" (no thinking involved) but ridiculous...ever seen the same skinny fat people at the gym on multiple...

Blondey- thanks for checking up on me :) Still searching :) Haven't gotten bloodwork done :xeye: Started working with a different trainer last week and spent most of yesterday getting really mental. Looked at pictures from the past year side by side...SCARY LOL I'll keep searching and posting...

more questions.... i keep reading that you can't lose fat and build muscle at the same time unless you are a "beginner" could this be my problem? that is what i have been trying to do for a year and i wasn't exactly a "beginner" to begin with. I am not quite sure i understand exactly how to...

on behalf of GettinThere she is having problems posting and asked me to post this on her behalf :) ******************************************** Since mikki is a friend of mine and we are having the same sort of concerns, I wanted to post my “shtuff” too, so maybe we can help each other with...

I have changed EVERYTHING about the way i live in the last year and yet my clothes are getting tighter and...

Great post!

Just keep kicking butt (sensibly) a 4-8 pound FAT loss is possible in 4 weeks and a great foundation for the remainder of your goal and your mental state. Maybe look at the time between now and july as a "sprint". That you only have four weeks to be consistent and work hard and then roll that...

sounds like what i call "chair squats". heels together, feet in front of you leaning against the bar, and you "sit down" supposedly works the outer thigh muscles more and the opposite being having your toes turned outward and doing a "plie" (sp?) to work the inner.

anyone have any opinions on this book? i got it the other day and read quite a bit yesterday...looks pretty solid only i never saw mention of cardio AND the diet is a lil "outdated" IMHO

i agree that it is a good *foundation* for people who have been inactive or never stepped foot in the gym...it got me back into the gym after over 5 years.... like keiko said...whatever gets you off the sofa! I don't think it will yield the dramatic results in the photos for someone...
