***NEVER, EVER, NEVER say that again!

Now, go forth and LIFT! Now...on with it! |

Well, there's really no such thing as "toning" - it's a made-up concept, invented by the fitness industry so women wouldn't freak out at the thought of getting stronger, and "shaping" only happens when you make a muscle bigger - but that's apparently another no-no when talking down to women!
Thus, men get the terms "bulking and cutting", while women get these translated into "shaping and toning". Shape of course comes from muscle-size and fat-loss, events that for most people don't happen at once, although this simple fact is not often all that obvious to the novice. Jargon like "shaping and toning" further obfuscates the process, and above all else, I eschew obfuscation. |

What are your macronutrient targets for these calories? |

You mentined you joined a new gym for the stepmill and cycling classes. Nothing wrong with a little cardio, but on 1200 calories you might find it kinda wears on you is all. That's right, you're tiny. I'll be interested to know the mix you're finding comfortable. |

You must have curves. Guys LOVE curves. Women's curves make the earth go round. When hot women drop too much weight, they lose vital curvage. The rotation of the planet actually slows down. Some sorrority in California went on a recent marathon aerobic month long weight loss program. over 80lbs were shed....and 15 cup sizes reduced...which resulted in a tsunammi on the other side of the world, resulting in mass damage. So...you must do your part to keep your awesome curves and keep the world in balance! YOU can help prevent tsunammis! |
