I love watching the Biggest Loser! It's so motivating! It's sooo hard to find time to exercise though. I work as a transcriptionist from home and i'm just constantly working... gotta try to figure that one out...

Just started doing that again and gaining weight and not losing. Still need to find the right combo.

Cardio and Strength Training 50/50

Cardio is a great way to burn calories and fat, but it also burns muscle. Strength Training will build new muscle, which will also burn EXTRA calories (and replace the muscle you may have lost from all that Cardio.) Also, don't forget to eat a few more calories on your workout days. FUEL your body!

Lift heavy weights

Lifting heavy weights will build muscle mass and you will burn more calories doing anything at any given time.

MORE INFORMATION:
Women are scared of heavy weights because they don't want to bulk up when it is extremely hard for a woman to bulk up. You can be a size 3 and either be skinny fat or all muscle. Which do you think would look better?
