IMO... Muscle definition is mostly about how much body fat is on top of you muscle. Get rid of the fat and you will see the muscle. Look at you food intake along with your workout to see if you are burning off fat. Lot of ways and opinions on how to accomplish that. Food intake is the biggest part of the equation IMO.

Most of the time you can't see the results very easily, but then one day you will be like, dang I actually have changed.

Calorie deficit is key. Start tracking what you eat in my fitness pal app. Focus on high protein, low fat and moderate carb intake. If you aren’t losing weight you aren’t in a calorie deficit.

How kind of work outs are you doing? What are you eating? What’s your average daily calorie deficit?

So slowly trying to get back in shape after studying for the cpa. I’ve started running 4 miles1-2x a week and doing some sort of strength training/orange theory home workouts 2-3x depending on client demands right now. I’m not really counting calories though... I would say my portion sizes are normal and I try to eat well balanced meals and very minimal “junk” food. A little bread heavy on my meals some day, but quarantining with the bf and he loves making yummy pasta dishes so I’ve been indulging a bit.

Awk I meant 3 miles

I'm sure those carbs are not helpful. Agree with other posts. Mostly its diet.

Okay, so I have pretty bad cystic acne, clogged pores and enlarged pores. I’ve been using curology and a mild dermatologist recommended soap. I have seen some improvement, however I was curious if anyone was struggling with it and has tried the “Flo Vitamin gummy’s “ on top of my fertility struggle this really has kinda killed my confidence. I know it’s not specifically fertility related but Was hoping to get some feedback on similar situations

This is not very old technology and not much studies as well.

529 Plan VERSUS Prepaid

We live in Florida and currently have a Freshman in High School and a 16 month old. We hear from our friends and family with college bound children "I wish we would have done Florida PrePaid." After obviously ignoring this for years, we are finally trying to do it before "it's too late" for both children.

Does anyone have recommendations on which plan to go with for each child? I once did the pros and cons on a whiteboard and it seemed like 529 was better.
