So, ive gained a substantial amount of weight in the past year. Not that i dislike the weight, but i dont like the form of it. Now bc ive always been an extremely tiny girl my entire life, i have never worked out or had to eat anything besides what my stomach desired. Recently i feel like everything i eat i just put the weight on more and more. And with the Grave's Disease its not helping any that my metabolism is all haywire, so ive got to make sure i keep a close eye on my weight.

I have no idea how to work out. And quite frankly, other then the treadmil, i would know what machines are what or even what they are used for. So im basically looking for a simple tone up workout that i can do at home. Besides the whole running deal.

My main focus points : tummy, upper arms, thighs & butt.


Any suggestions or info would be greatly appreciated!!

weights weights weights,

if you don't do some sort of resistance training your walking and running really works against you.

you need to build muscle to burn fat. fat doesn't just go away when you do tons of cardio and you lose scale weight your actually lost water some fat and a whole lot of muscle. the key to looking good is building muscle which will make you appear thinner and leaner and also burn more calories all day everyday.

i think i wrote this about 35 times already in this forum..

1 way. work out with weights do cardio, and eat right. thats the ONLY way. believe me. the only way.

Amen to that because you can take every supplement and steroid you want if you dont follow the basics of eating right and exercising regularly you are just wasting time and money.

You know whats weird, is that in very few cases does the disease make you gain weight. Normally, bc the thyroid is overactive, it makes you skinny.

So on top of needing to get into shape, ive got to deal with that on top of it. Which isnt making anything easier for me.

Def. ask her what she did to regulate her weight and/or tone up. I hate that i dont even eat alot but my body is retarded and keeps it all instead of burning it off.

Sooo...just run and lift weights and eat stuff that is boring?

how long does it take to see any results?

[TIANA]

a long time... but if your patient, you will see results.

the weight wasn't put on over night, so don't expect it to come off as easily.


work hard towards it and you will get the benefits

i dont want to lose that much, maybe 5 lbs at most.

i just want my body to look nice. not ripped, but nice

even with the use of supps and roids you still need to be very strict work out like an animal or else like you said its a waste of time and money.

you gotta commit 100%, like swinging a bat or throwing a punch if you don't give it your all and swing for the fences or to decapate ssomeone your just waiting to get struck out or KO....

u and me both.

ill ask...she had to get her thyroid removed later on but she still had her metathyroid or soemthing..

i dunno girl

did you myspace her?

[HEAVY METAL]

i think everyone is forgetting the grave's component

when you do tons of cardio and you lose scale weight your actually lost water some fat and a whole lot of muscle.

I don't get this. If you're not working out at all and you have x amount of muscle. Then you start doing cardio, which you are actually using your muscles more than before when you were sitting on your ass. So really you should be building a little, so how does it work that you lose more muscle than fat?

This is the first article on google about "burning muscle". http://health.msn.com/dietfitness/ar...ntid=100138677

It pretty much says that it's not true that the average person burns muscle from doing cardio and it's most certainly not a "whole lot". I've always felt like this is some bs that musclebuilders like to tell people. It really just doesn't seem to make any logical sense.

If you have anything that explains exactly how someone is burning tons of muscle by doing a lot of cardio, I'd love to see it. I see so many guys saying that on here but never seen anyone post info on exactly how it happens. I'm just curious.
