I wish I would have paid more attention when I was 15!

If you start now you wont be struggling to make up for years of neglect, like some of us older folks.

For the past 4 and half years I've not been able to lose the weight from my pregnancy 40lbs to be exact. I lose 10lbs then gain 5lbs and then lose 15lbs and gain 10lbs. It's upsetting for me! How do I get those first few lbs. off to get me motivated and keep them off. I miss being able to sit down w/o wearing clothes to cover myself and I'd love to be able to walk w/o thighs touching. So any advice to give would be nice!!!!

One thing you should know is you can't lose 10lbs in one week in a healthy way... you can lose about a pound to two and a half pounds a week... that's more realistic and healthy... To do that successfully, you have to eat... five or six small meals a day... drink lots of water... do some cardio and resistance training... Do a search on Fit Buddy for bb1's grocery list for a body builder... lots of food items there... also, look up HIIT... it's a form of cardio exercise... And make sure you fill out your profile and choose a fitness and nutrition routine... AND ask plenty of questions and do lots of research on this site... you'll get a lot of help...

But if I want to lose fat and get a little toned; don't want to look like a body builder; is doing bb1's for body bulider and cardio the way to go? For TimDay from April 30, 2004! I have a trampoline and found out that instead of lossing inches in my legs and weight, I gained inches in my legs and weight as well. I'm 160lbs and wish to be 120lbs, I'm also 5'3" so you can imagine these numbers add up to chunky. I hope to one day refer to chunky as in chocolate chip cookies and not to myself!:laugh: So I want to know how to lose weight, get toned, and not to get bigger in size! :) -------------- In GOD we trust!
