Struggling with the last few..... adjust goals?
Hey all, I have only a few pounds (I think) left to lose. In fact, I'm not too concerned with the weight loss anymore, but focused rather on fat loss. I am still carrying a muffin top of fat around my middle that I can't seem to shed. I had twins 2 years ago and am now under my pre-pregnancy weight (I had about 10lbs to…

Whats the deal with Protein Powder??
Just wondering if using Protein powder is good? - Should I be using this as a supplement? I have heard that it's not good to take protein unless you're able to work it off, otherwise it has negative effects? Is this true? Does the powder do the same thing as the real deal (chicken, fish etc.)? Thinking of using it in a…

Do you need to diet to lose weight?
Does dieting contribute a lot to losing weight? If I exercise without diet will I still be able to lose weight and get fit? I've always had a really high/fast metabolism. Never had to exercise or work out, but after having 4 kids it seems that the weight is staying and not going anywhere. I haven't been gaining, but I…

Are you curious?
Practice curiosity. Boredom is one of the main reasons people overeat. You have nothing to do, so you migrate to the kitchen and rummage for food. Or your hands are idle while you are reading or watching TV, and you decide to snack. Curiosity is a great tool to deal with boredom. Have you noticed that when your mind is…

HRM vs. machine?
If I enter in my age/weight on the machines at the gym will the calories burned be accurate? I am trying to save up for a HRM. I know they are pretty accurate.
