Hi guys, I have been trying to lose weight for the past 3 weeks. I've started excerising regulary but my eating habits still aren't that great. I wake up each morning telling myself that today I will limit myself to 1000-1500 calories. I do fine in the morning. I usually have a black coffee and...

I posted this in the misc but somebody recommended I post it up here. This is me about 3 years ago weighing in at a whopping 150 lbs. The second pic is me now at about 205-210 (It was taken a couple months ago but because of school and being busy I still look pretty much the same) Hopefully...

Anyone trying to accomplish fitness goals through a hectic schedule? If your life is work, gym and sleep, we are on the same boat.

Last year I wound up taking a break for a few months (STUPID STUPID STUPID), mostly because I wound up dating a girl who wanted my free time to the point that I felt guilty about going to the gym. Well, needless to say, I had to break up with her when my body fat % went from around 9 to around 15. ...

I am 21 and getting surgery on my hip for avascular necrosis and am going to have to use crutches for 6 weeks. Are all the gains i've made going to go down the toilet with such a long hiatus? is there anything i can to do maintain muscle mass without working out for the 6 weeks?

Recently my girlfriend broke up with me. I saw it coming, we're both going to college and are going to be a few hours apart. It didn't make it any easier, though. Instead of being down on myself so much like I thought I would be, suddenly I have found a new motivation to get things done in order...

When i'm down in the dumps about going to hit a workout and i just cant get motivated to leave the house, I do one of many things to get motivated for that moment. Here are some ideas, and I would appreciate more! 1.) Watch the Kevin Levrone video on my bodyspace, 5 minutes long and makes me...

My body isn't making it easy for me, I've started hitting the gym for a month and few days now, and in that time I've had the flu twice, yes TWICE. Headache, fever, no appetite.
