TO THE AWESOME PERSON WHOSE MESSAGE I RESPONDED TO...
I promised you that I would respond to your questions specifically this morning— but apparently tumblr deletes your messages to me right after I respond— so now I have no remembrance of what your questions were, and since I didn’t write down your tumblr name, I’m having a hard time finding you in my list of followers! You stated that you were a 20 year old female just...

Interesting info from Jillian Michaels
What advice do women always ask you for?
They get caught on plateaus. In that case what you need to do is give yourself a couple of days of rest and bump up your calories by 10 percent. When you lose weight quickly, your body often responds by releasing hormones to increase your appetite and store more fat. That's a survival instinct meant to help us conserve fuel during times of famine. You can outsmart it by eating a little more and resting. That usually helps jump-start your metabolism again.

Do the Work!
From LOSING IT! With Jillian Michaels Monday, May 23, 2011 Do the Work!
I love when I see people getting excited about doing the work that will help them reach their goals! Most people have no real concept of how strong they are or what their potential is. My workouts are tough because I know you’re strong enough to do them! (And of course, because they have to be to work!) I set out to...

Stop The Guilt Beatings!
I recently joined wholeliving.com and found this post on the blog community. I found it so relevant and had to share, why?
I’ve found that a lot of times, taking up a new and verrry healthy lifestyle can have effects on those around us that at times can come off isolating or overbearing. For example, I live at home with my parents— my white flour, white rice, south asian sweetsnack...

Awesome Move of the Day →
At first I was totally skeptical of this move, because it involves a chair and a scarf. As the eternal burpee aficionado, I’m a fan of using dumbells, maybe a sandbag as equipment - MAX. I just love the convenience of body weight movements. But BOY was I glad I tried these “figure 8’s”— not only are they actually kind of fun, you feel them right away in your obliques!...

Research shows that just the act of writing down your goals makes you more...
