It's not about losing lbs, but about losing fat. If you like how you look in the mirror, that's what counts.

juicymango Jan 9, 2008

well then no i don't like my muffin top and yeah my arms are getting buff, even like my abs are getting a little thinner but my actual waist is totally not and my workouts are an hour or more...

Try mixing the exercises up. Your muscles/body will get used to certain exercises unless you mix it up. That is what I try to do.

juicymango Jan 9, 2008

Then maybe your diet needs to be adjusted more since your body could be used to it, thereby keeping you at a plateau.

Haha... Good idea.

Do you eat late at night? That has negative effects from what I hear.

juicymango juicymangoOG 2003

Hmmm... I work out for an hour and a half. I hit the weights hard for an hour then end with cardio. Your heart is already moving at a good rate after the weights, so you're already burning calories off the bat when you finish with cardio. Try that, except you're a girl, use light weight. Or, just don't eat. haha...

yeah i don't usually go above 10 or 15 pound dumbells, i just do more reps to failure, i don't want to bulk up

this makes no sense. i think someone is playing psychological mind games with you. adding weight to your scale and what not. either that or your sleep walking and eating in your sleep.
