I stopped tracking, counting etc. So I'm probably not eating the correct amount of calories (either too high or too low). So I do need to get that in check, and you are right, that will help!<br /><br />I'm all for weight training, the problem again is me not doing it. Ok so I should stop complaining and JUST DO IT. I feel bad now. LOL<br /><br />Until I DO SOMETHING about it, I have no room to complain about flab. I am going to try the P90X series since it uses body weight to do most of the ST exercises. I'll post sporadically on how that goes!Aliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09610623279545301074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1304855423206130604.post-10229969285853794632012-02-10T17:32:21.625-06:002012-02-10T17:32:21.625-06:00Hi Alicia...I'm not sure how many calories you...Hi Alicia...I'm not sure how many calories you are eating now. But you have lost a significant amount of weight. Are you still eating the same amount as you were before? Have you heard of Basal Metabolic Rate? Its the amount of daily energy you expend. The are several free online tools out there that can help you figure what you expending based on your weight, height, sex, and activity level. If you haven't done it in a while, I would check into see what they recommend. Now what you are smaller...you require less calories then you were then you were heavier...So that'll help.<br /><br />I definitely think resistance training (like pilates) or weight training is a necessity! Especially for women and those who are losing weight. It'll help you keep your bones strong and maintain muscle (we lose it as we get older). But also, as people lose weight often they lose muscle...<br /><br />Muscle will help you looked more toned and will help you lose weight in the long run...Increased muscle percentages help burn fat more rapidly...MS.

I ate crap too and was sick as a dog until Tuesday. It is amazing how your body adjust and can't handle grease and junk anymore. I told my family about how I get sick if I eat the wrong food, they thought I was crazy...<br /><br />You should definitely try weight lifting, even though I hate how sore I am afterwards I enjoy it while I'm doing it. I think strength training really gives you a banging shape even more, I'm not there yet though....Yeah, I'm not feeling the flab either. Do you makes you happy!!Thick Diva Chronicleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13331930058253128150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1304855423206130604.post-12320456455479437462012-02-03T10:26:38.329-06:002012-02-03T10:26:38.329-06:00Hello, weights won't make you lose fat per se,...Hello, weights won't make you lose fat per se, but they will help you build muscle and change the shape of your body. You could also try ballet/barre type classes,from what I heard it is great for toning your body.<br />Hope that helps!Low Carb Muslimahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12630439891541873188noreply@blogger.com
