Hey everyone! I am new here and I just wanted any advice from people. I currently do pilates twice a week and try to run 1-2 miles a day. I am about 5-9, 140lbs and love to exercise. These are my current fitness goals:
~Lose 5-10 pounds
~Flatter abs/stomach
~Gain muscle in my arms
I try to work out everyday, but can't seem to lose any weight, just keep my constant weight. I try to eat a lot of veggies, fruit, yogurt, and drinking as much water as I can. Am I not working out enough or do I need to focus more on my nutrition? I was wondering if anyone had any ideas or suggestions on what I can do to help these things. Thanks!

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

Has anyone tried these supplements? Do they give MGers more quality of life by improving memory and overall well being?Thanks!Barbel
1) You can't spot reduce ab fat. You can reduce overall body fat, but the last place you gained body fat will be the first off so if your ab fat has been there the longest, it will be the last to come off.
2) If you gain muscle, you will gain weight. Maybe aiming for a certain BF% would be a better goal? Some many factors contribute to weight at any given time.
Where's the protein at in your diet? You're going to have a really hard time gaining muscle with not enough protein.
Good luck!
