Thanks everyone for your replies!! I just feel gross if I'm at all damp and putting my clothes back on

If you just HAVE to have something sweet, it's a good habit to have to bake it yourself. When it's more work, it's definitely less fun to eat than just buying it. Plus, by home-making it, you can control what's in it - try making fruit-filled cupcakes or a frosting made with less sugar/fat. I LOVE to bake and have started…

I'm striving for a 40% protein, 30/30 ratio, and it's really difficult, but I usually get around 100g of protein on only 1500 calories. (My goal is closer to 150 but I honestly don't need that much) PB2 and other powdered proteins are a great way to add peanut butter to recipes without the added fat (great for smoothies,…

HIIT workouts will help burn more calories. Burpees, jumping exercises, body weight squats, push-ups and similar moves are great too. If you don't have access to a gym, you can look for a bodyweight program that focuses on calorie burn. I follow something similar to BBG. Diet will have the biggest impact tho - accurate…

I'm a running hater, and struggled to find cardio that I liked. Spinning filled that void. I always look forward to my weekly class, absolutely LOVE my instructor (everyone check out Kristie LaTray on insta

I'm obsessed with Aloha. All their products are amazing, and they sell the protein and bars at Target.

Hi! How do you reach your protein goals without going over your carbs/fat macros? I've been trying to get my protein intake up, but always end up going over my other macros in order to make that happen...any advice/product recs welcome!! Thanks!

I've always been slim but recently started lifting heavier, and also tracking macros. The lifting has helped IMMENSELY in getting my body to look the way I want. I started small with 5lb Dumbbells and worked my way up, and do less cardio (but just can't quit my spin class!). I track my macros mostly to make sure I'm…

My go-to options are overnight oats, Greek yogurt with a little granola, or egg white/veggie cups I've made. My office has a cafe in it too, so sometimes I splurge and get a custom egg sandwich or healthy burrito.

Thanks for all the replies!! Unfortunately I'm not an iced coffee person (even in LA). Maybe I'll have to suck it up when it starts to get really hot out in July. Anyone ever tried I Eat Protein's coffee protein? http://ieatprotein.com/collections/flavors/products/coffee-with-hi-protein?variant=14327489028

Today, I won the staring contest with the donut table at work. My coworker said "you going to get one for the road?" And I replied, "you know what? I'm good."

Better to eat your proteins, IMO. But I do add a little protein powder to my Greek yogurt for a protein boost, and I like Quest bars for protein bars--pricey but more natural than some of the others and lots of fiber (which is important with whey proteins). Chicken, lean cuts of pork, turkey are all super lean options you…

You can try yoga positions for sinus/headache relief...whatever you decide to do, don't push it. Your body needs the energy to heal you and get rid of your sickness! It's ok to take a day off to get better!

I also love my Jaybird Bluebuds. Wireless, Bluetooth (can leave my phone in locker and walk about the gym), can answer calls while walking without the phone, voice control, great sound, and can wrap around front or back depending on your workout, attire or (in my case) hairstyle. The battery life is ok...but I've also had…

Pull up assist (no longer have access to one after I graduated from college), spin bike, and my own bodyweight!

Make sure you eat lots of protein following your strength training to aid in muscle recovery. Since you don't eat meat or nuts, you could try Greek yogurt, protein smoothies or shakes, cottage cheese, and veggies with more protein like mushrooms and garbanzo beans, quinoa etc. there are tons of options! Check out a…

I'm personally a fan of HIIT-style body weight routines that involve squat variations, jumps, push-ups, ab routines etc. I find tons on Pinterest and YouTube

Beginning lifter, focused on training to do pull ups and dips. Also overall health and fitness. Anyone with similar goals feel free to add me. (Please include personal message.)

If you can carve out time (mornings, lunch or weekends maybe when hubby is around to watch the little ones), maybe try taking a yoga class. Will help strengthen core muscles and also teach you new poses and stretches you can do on your own time so you can build strength and stamina for more intense exercising. Most…

I really love my VS sports bras...traditional hook back and straps that unhook and can be made racer back, plus a flexible wire and excellent coverage. (I think it's called the Ultimate) As a 32D-32DD, it's soooo hard to find good bras that are small enough for my ribcage but also give good support. The adjustable back is…

Clothes shopping can be both amazing and heartbreaking. I range from a size 4-6 depending on the store, and even for me trying on a dress I can't zip or a swimsuit that gives me a muffin top is tough and makes me feel horrible. Just gotta push through and accept that all clothes are not made the same! Find the pieces that…

When I first started working out I also suffered from intense soreness. You might be pushing yourself too hard for a beginner, and since you have a full workout schedule, you may need to dial back on intensity. But my biggest recommendation is proper warm up, cool down and stretching. You should do a 2-5 minute warm up…

Make smaller goals for every day/week/month, maybe not even related to weight loss. That way you can see progress and feel motivated and awesome ALL the time!

I usually will add 1/4 or 1/3 cup of high-protein, low sugar organic granola to 0% greek yogurt. That way I end up with a filling breakfast that has approx. 20-25g of protein, 2g of fat, less than 10g of sugar and only about 300-350 calories (plus calcium, fiber and probiotics etc). If it fits in your calorie goals, go for…

Fresh veggies and fruits, healthy fats and lots of water! I eat apples, grapefruit, spinach, kale, bell peppers and mushrooms throughout the week, drink TONS of water and make sure to get in healthy fats from avocado and nuts (but not too much). I also find that using a mild stool softener (I use Colace) every few days…

You can also try a coconut oil (or other natural ingredient) mask. When my hair feels dry from over-washing (my fine, super-straight hair looks NASTY if I don't wash it every other day), I will do a 20-30 minute oil soak on my hair. Starting at the roots, I pull the oil through my hair to the ends, making sure to get good…

Today I'm having leftover fajita veggies & chicken over spinach. I usually just throw leftover sauteed/roasted veggies and protein over spinach or kale, sometimes add some vinegar/oil as dressing. Quick & easy.

The Peppermill has the best too-hungover-to-think breakfast. Heavy diner food to soak up all the alcohol.

What do you currently do?

@Camo_xxx You can always call the studio/gym and ask if you aren't sure. But mostly what @cheshirecatastrophe said. Some studios (Flywheel I know does this for free) have cleats for rent at the studio. And others (like the YAS studio I go to) have baskets that clip into the pedals so you can just wear sneakers if you don't…
