Alright, more requests for help :( my girlfriend was making superb progress (she was down to 160/161 and she was starting to get happier about her body) but as of about a week ago she's started to climb again and is now around 163/164 and feels like her clothes are fitting less well. Her diet it abo...

My general plan for this diet for my girlfriend is to not make it a diet but rather a new life style. I want her to achieve her body composition goals and then have the tools to stay there for as long as she choses to do so. I know well that we could have her initial scale weight drop a lot faster t...

her idea 100% she hates her body and calls/texts me 10 times a day specifically because she's upset about how she feels about her body and how she looks in the mirror.

A month ago my girlfriend made a commitment to trying to get into shape and asked me to help with her diet and training. She started at 5'9" 170 lbs and is now 166 lbs but progress is stalling a little bit and I was wondering if people could offer suggestions. Here's what I've got for her right now:...

She is busting her butt in the gym, I think she's probably even putting in more intensity than I do when I lift. I think that she's just super frustrated because she's not seeing any progress...so we decided that we need some quantitative method of measuring progress. Since she's afraid that steppin...

Hi, I've got a desperate cry for help. I'm trying to help my girlfriend lose weight and get into shape but I've hit a major snag. We're three weeks in and she isn't noticing a difference and she's getting frustrated and wants to give up. I've been following what I consider a good weight loss program...

single leg rdls met with some success (she got a little sore) but when I said she is flexible I mean she really is flexible, she went up against a wall and had one leg planted and the other leg up the wall 180 degrees to the other leg while bending over in the one legged rdl fashion. Needless to say...

/rant They don't like deads because they are worried that stupid people will watch real lifters do them and then go do them incorrectly and die or somesuch. I hate hate hate hate their reasoning (I talked to the supervisor on the phone and she said that they prohibit all power lifting, including dea...

good idea, I hadn't thought about cycling, at least not in the context of her resistance work. :)

My girlfriend doesn't really have a large foundation of strength so I doubt we'll need to worry about weighting this one quite yet, but thanks for the ideas :).
