I will no longer be working with my trainer and want to start a new program. I'm sure there are a thousand threads similar to this, but I wanted to hear from some ladies that have been in a similar...

I came across the following website, and it just made me sad.

3-8lbs weights! Hahaha, yeah of course you aren't going to...

You can just lift, and a lot of women on this site will tell you the same thing.

But did you use to enjoy cardio? Do you want to continue cardio, but are just bored at what you are doing? This was...

This won't be the answer you are looking for, but I wanted to post here because I have a period related question too.

I have not had mine since March. I have always, always been regular. I am...

As a newbie you can lose weight/body fat and put on muscle at the same time. It will be a slower process though. It has worked well for me. Eat at a slight deficit, lift heavy using a good program. I...

She is 16, 5'7" 140, that is not overweight, she does not need to be dieting, and I seriously doubt that she needs to drop 6-7% body fat. And if she is seriously "skinny fat" dropping weight is not...

I don't count calories. I think I'd see better results if I did, it just seems so tedious to me. I eat "clean". I do it because it 1)helps me not go back for seconds 2)helps me skip desert 3)leaves...

Is she drinking the actual iced starbucks coffee or icing the regular coffee they brew. Because go look at the nutrition info, for a 16oz iced coffee its 90 calories and 21g of sugar.

A few things, some of the other posters have already mentioned. Firstly, if this is related to the medication, it is a discussion that you need to have with your doctor. If you decide to go back on...

Again, some others might have some better advice, but if you are beginning to have trouble at at the same weight/reps, when you did not in the past, I do think it might be time for a break. It also...

Is there a health food store in your area? This may sound counter-intuitive, but they don't always equal expensive. They have great bulk bins for things like brown rice, quinoa, barley, beans, etc....

Your body might be telling you that you need a break. Feel free to take some time off. Although, I am bad about following that advice myself.

If nothing is different in regards to your...

^This. Any particular reason she is against using free weights? Has she ever tried them before? They definitely intimidated me at first, since I had never used them. Take her to the gym at an off...

I'm not quite sure, but I think I came down on it wrong while I was running. And then I didn't stay off of it, that has been the real problem.

Thanks guys, I've been knowing I was due for a break...

Don't be so hard on yourself. I don't see a pouch in that AVI at all.

My foot has been bothering me a great deal. I don't think its something serious enough to see a doctor about, but I definitely need to rest it. After trying to exercise without aggravating it the...

I think your legs look pretty great. Especially, from the front and sides. Even from the back I don't think your hamstrings/calfs look flabby at all. You just have a bigger booty. And, honestly,...

I agree. Eat at a slight deficit and lift hard. This is what I have been doing. I'm not exactly sure about my exact calorie deficit, but I'd put it somewhere near 250, as I am averaging an average of...

I would recommend a structured plan. Either from a trainer or one of the many suggested on this site. I would say that I feel comfortable lifting at my gym as long as I walk in knowing what I have to...

I've tried my best to cut out all added/refined sugar. 10 weeks later, I've found that I don't really crave it anymore. Don't get me wrong, I still consume carbs/sugars, I absolutely love agave...
