2 yearsTedDansen (10): Clen is a really bad idea with the cardio that you're going to be doing. It puts a ton of stress on your heart just by itself, so if you do any kind of intense cardio at the same time you're going to be dealing with thickening of the heart muscles at least, and a heart failure at worst. Better to go with something milder like ephedrine or caffeine. And if you're not losing weight fast enough, drop your calories. All that shit will need to be...

4 yearsSalokin (877): I've got the full power rack, so I just do pull-ups instead of pull downs. I've got 2 Olympic bars I spread across the spotter bars; 1 in the front and 1 in the back so that I can do dips between them. The power rack I say is a must, you can do almost anything with a little creativity. http://forum.simplyshredded.com/cached/f75b052d1c981ea42bee05bdd3be3628.jpg I got one like this off Craig's List for about $125.00

4 yearshollyhopeful5678 (1693): Tilted Kilt?? That's my guess. Great tips already posted, so I'll just add this from my own personal experience. I would separate your plans from your husband. He isn't going to lose his job, so he likely isn't going go give up the wings and pizza. But everywhere that sells wings and pizza also sells salad so don't give him the power to drag you down, you can make your own choices to eat well and exercise even if he doesn't.

4 yearsGetFitGoFigure (121): hey girl! so, it is very helpful to track progress by body compsition... knowing your body fat. Then you can calculate your lean body mass so you know how much fat you actually have. From there, you can figure out how much you would like to lose to reach your desired body fat percent or desired leanness. There is also a great calculator to figure otu macro ratios for your goals at IIFYM.com. clickable text Also, I am very sure you gained a lot...

Everyone is different. The only option i see is to increase your maintenance level by slowly increasing calorie intake(kind of reverse dieting) with minimum/no weight gain and after that try cutting when your maintenance is higher. This will takesome time..

Lift the most you can, and really push yourself past limits you...

Basically a person have his/her maintenance calorie. if you eat above your maintenance you get fat and if you eat below your maintenance you loose fat. (calorie = protein, carbs and fat).

5 yearsOptimusPrime (1257): @almighty_she Is it normal? Yes and no. It's more prevalent in women and is often directly correlated to anemia; in your case, probably an iron deficiency resulting from menstruation coupled with a vitamin deficiency. And if you have a high caffeine intake, that too could/would contribute. Take your vitamins, stay hydrated. I'd say 'don't sweat it', but you could always go get a blood test to zero in on the root causes.

It's a lot easier plus everyone's different just because your the same weight, bodyfat as someone and have the same goals doesn't mean the amount of cal your recommended to have will work the same. No one knows your body better than yourself.

5 yearsFiremanSi (42358): You can loose weight if ur just in a caloric deficit. But as @dwatson & @the1 said adding cardio and weight training will definately speed up those results. Toning is basically a scam that companies used to take advantage of naive gym goers. U can build muscle or burn fat and if ur a beginner as u say u are u can do a little of both. Good luck and let us know if u need any more help.

6 yearsjonrivs49 (3001): First is to set your goals. what do you want to look like. Research nutrition & macro calculation(this will help you a lot), research HIIT, Get a program that suits you. There is a female thread in this forum where you can get what you need. After having a program dont stop there, ask and research why you need this exercise for this bodypart. Lastly execute them and dont make excuses. Time, patience, determination will get you there

Your body needs them. - figure out your BMR/daily caloric maintenance http://www.muscleandstrength.com/tools/bmr-and-daily-calorie-calculator.html - subtract up to 500 kcals from that number to lose weight, add up to 500 kcals to gain weight. - get a 50/30/20 macro split (50% carbs, 30% prot, 20% fat) #WINNING.

6 yearsMethod (379): Jaz, If you're truly dedicated to getting that toned look, you need to diet and incorporate weightlifting. One of the biggest fitness misconceptions among women is that if they lift weights they will get a muscular physique. Women simply don't have enough testosterone to build mass amounts of muscle unless your hardcore in your supplementing, dieting and working out. Hit the weights and limit cheat meals, it's that simple.

To make this easy to understand, it is the number of calories that you need to support your body functions. Yes, sitting there while your heart pumps does burn calories!...

Or as much as you can do. You can work up to longer intervals or shorter...
