Keep the weight loss questions coming! I liked this one:

Question: so im 5′2 and weigh 147 lbs & i want to lose weight & maybe replce it with muscle i suppose, i have way to much flab on my belly, thighs and the top of my arms how do i sort it? how much exersize do i need? not something silly like half an hour because i dont think that would help.
im a female btw and football isnt a thing id be into but thanks i will keep it in mind :)
Answer: Hey Lisa,

It isn’t as easy as it sounds, I know. The best thing you can do is exercise. Now, you may think "Okay, I’ll throw on some sneakers and go for a jog." That won’t do it. And in fact, you probably aren’t willing to start your fitness journey by displaying it in front of the world, right? If you’re like me, you want to get fit where no one can see you struggle. That’s why I do in-home fitness DVDs. Not like the creepy Richard Simmons kind of videos, though… In fact, if you really want to get fit by January- the BEST advice I can tell you is to order P90X. It’s a 90 day total body transformation that is used by celebrities like Bruno Mars, Bret Favre, Ashton Kutcher, Demi Moore, Pink, and Michelle Obama. Some people lose over 100lbs in just 90 days. And even better, it specially focuses on turning fat into muscle! I would recommend nothing but this. In fact, here, this link will take you straight to information about this: https://extranet.securefreedom.com/MillionDollarBody/csShopping/ShoppingCart_Detail.asp?PriceID=93429&Cat=Fitness%20Program|P90X

Heck, if you are really into this home fitness things, there are a lot of programs you can look into. Go here: www.beachbodycoach.com/bransonp

Also! Look up my fitness page on facebook. It’s called "Time to Transform with Coach Paalyn." I update it with fitness tips, motivation, and advice as often as I can. And I ALWAYS respond to questions and inquiries. I hope this helps you out. Please feel free to message me on facebook or whatnot if you have any questions I can answer!

Is This All Normal After Weight Loss?

A weight loss question that should definitely interest you all this week

Question: I had a baby six months ago and am now in the best shape of my life. I run and dance five times a week, and do yoga, pilates, and heavy cleaning every day as well as between 30-90 minutes of stretching daily (at least half an hour before bed). I am five pounds lighter than I was at 18(when I was anorexic) and still have another 5-10 I could safely lose.

I have to eat 1500-2200 calories a day depending on how active I am that day, and that’s to lose more weight rather than just maintain. I’m literally dropping about .2-.5 pounds a day.

What I’ve noticed recently is a few things:
I’m no longer jealous in any way of other women, even ones my husband says are attractive (i usually agree with him anyway).
I have gotten much "tighter".
My mons pubis has completely shrunk.
I can bend completely in half and cross my legs behind my head.
I’m much more complementary and supporting to other women.
I’m being treated like crap by other women despite being nice to them, but I refuse to stop.

Are these all normal things to experience when you lose weight in a healthy way? This is all new to me.

Answer: I’m jealous, it sounds like your doing great.
But it does sound weird your losing 2-3 lb a day.
