Is it harder to lose weight while on birth control such as the pill?

Hey everyone. I haven’t posted in awhile though I’m still training, I’m just too busy. I’m actually working more then ever! It sucks but I know it will pay off in the end. Anyway, I’m in the market for a great fat-burning and energy supplement. Hydroxycut isn’t an option after the liver damage reports started coming out. Does anyone else have any suggestions? TIA!

So, I contacted KLTexas and got my new diet. I have to say that I really enjoy it so far. I highly recommend her!

I haven’t been on here much lately. I moved recently and was having some issues at work. I also don’t have the internet at my new place so I can’t get on at home. I will be out of training for about a week. I’m having lasik on Thursday which I am really excited about but sad that I won’t be able to go to the gym much (though I might try to squeeze in a session or two early!) Hope everyone is doing well!

Hey everyone, I’d really like to get a personalized diet. Does anyone know who I can contact? I just want to take the guess work out of it and let someone else tell me what to do. lol Sounds horrible but I do really well when someone else gives me guidelines. Thanks for the help!

Ok, I have a question and please blame this on ignorance and the fact that I just don’t know. But how do some women get to bodybuilders and others fitness? Women who bodybuild tend to be bigger and I was under the impression that women do not have the chemical makeup to be that big. Is it chemically induced? Or are their diets and lifting just resulting in those kind of gains? I’m just wondering because I really have no idea. Thx!

So, I’ve been getting a little bored with my cardio lately. I decided to try HIIT. And omg, I think that is the most fun I’ve ever had doing cardio. lol That was a fast 30 minutes! I suggest anyone try it if they want to do something different. Have a great week!

So tonight at the gym I did 160 pushups, 240 jump squats, 128 dumbbell rows with20 lb weights. I also burnt 550 cals on the elliptical.. Funny part.. not even sore (not yet anyway, lol) and I feel great, like I could go out dancing.. I realize that I’m rambling now. Have a great Friday night!

Well, I hit my six week training period. My trainer ran all my measurements and body fat. I lost a little under 10 lbs and 4 percent body fat! I also lost an inch and half in the waist. This is really good because I was getting a little discouraged even though I was still working my butt off! What a difference diet makes. I can’t wait to see what the next six weeks brings. This makes me just want to work harder!

Well, I was super tired. It turned into a crap week. I went to the dr and got bad test results bad.. yadi yadi yada.. I started a new routine. Lemme know what you think

Wide Grip Lat Pulldown

Bent-over Two- Dumbbel Pull

Lying T-Bar Row (this was my first time using this.. it was a b*tch! lol)

Seated Cable Row

Hyperextensions

Barbell Curl

Dumbbell Alternate Bicep Curl

Machine Preacher Curl

Things are going well. I’m staying on top of both jobs and of school. Got my first A of the semester. lol My workouts are great. Going up to 5-6 times a week now and I’m adding more weight and exercises everytime I go. The only thing is I’m struggling with the diet. I know that is just something I need to have the willpower over. How is everyone else doing? Staying motivated?
