So I've been working out for a solid 2.5 months now and I'm feeling good about it. I'm seeing results, even if they aren't always on the scale. Clothes are fitting way better and I'm generally more happy and have more energy.
With all that said, there are still area I have no idea how to target and they are now problem areas. I really need to attack my hips... they look out of proportion and are holding most of my fat now. I don't know what exercise I can do to help me battle them. It's f...

So I used the online tool to try and see how many calories I'm burning per exercise. So just from abs and cardio, I'm burning about 450 calories, not including anything going on during the day or the rest of the workout... I think it's about 66 calories per exercise which is around 330 additional calories burnt. So I can definitely see that burning 780 calories out of 1250 probably isn't the greatest idea, especially considering that I still have the rest of the day to go. So I'm wondering how m...

Ok, so I've been really strict with my diet and exercise... go to the gym 5 days a week, cardio and abs in each and a day for arms, legs, chest and back and the 5th is pure cardio. I keep my calories to around 1250 and I've been doing this for about a month. Well my first week I lost 7.5 lbs, second week was 9.5 lbs... 3rd week I'd gained 5lbs which we attributed to muscle...but the next week after I pushed harder at the gym, I hadn't lost anything, just maintained and the same for this week... ...

So I'm half way through my second week and I love my workout. I can actually sleep which is good. However, I'm tired because there's so much drama around work. It's stressing me out in one of the most stress-free positions possible. Rumors are ridiculous and I haven't done anything to warrent them, yet I've been in trouble 2 days in a row because of them so I'm sick of it. I'll be looking for a new job on friday...which also happens to be the first day off I'll have had in 11 days. I think it's ...

Ok! So I realized I didn't really introduce myself yesterday very well. I figure if people ( even if it's just me thinking someone's read this) read this, and I admit to my workout goals and failures and diet goals and failures, it'll keep me going. However, if no one really knows anything about me, then I think I may dissociate from this blog. So here goes! Hi! I'm Andrea. I'm 20 years old and I weigh 163.5 lbs (or I did on Saturday when I started). I've been the exact same weigh...

Hey, I'm Andrea and this year I turn 21. I have always been slightly overweight and it's something I've always tried to deal with but never suceeded. I figured this was this year I start my diet and exercise and follow through with it. Now the only problem is finding a good exercise program to follow.
When I get to the gym, I push myself, I don't let up, but the only problem is knowing which machines I should be using. I don't want to really build much muscle, I want to lose weight and t...
