Amazing!!! So happy for you! I finish round 1 tomorrow. We'll see how it goes.

This. The few grams from an apple core is the least of my worries ;)

If by slim you mean chicken legs, no thanks. I'll take the abs and lifter legs.

Agree with what has been mentioned above. Also, yoga. Some people hear the word and scoff or want to run away. But for ultimate balance, body strength workouts, and flexibility, yoga is great! And just like lifting can be a cardio exercise if performed in that way, yoga can too. As a runner and cross trainer, it's been the…

haha YES. I love the focus that I get from pre-workouts but every now and then I feel like I'm going to explode through a roof. I've recently switched to C4 and am happy with the performance results.

If you haven't already, join the long distance runners group on here. Lot's of this topic covered for various goals and very helpful :)

Hadnt heard of that. Just checked it out and 50% looks like what I've been doing as of late. I'll be sure to incorporate the rest as part of a routine. Thanks!

Not toweling machines! :s I can handle a lot of gross things. But my body sitting in someone else's sweat that I didn't realize was there is an instant 0 to 60 rage. Same goes with treadmills. There's this crazy belief in a lot of gyms that sweating all over handle bars and leaving it there is acceptable because it's "just…

There are necessary "evils" in life. I'm a believer if you tell yourself you "hate" it, then it makes the workout 100x harder and you lose motivation and focus to start and complete it. I think you'll find some reason to like it after a few weeks. Something that makes it more personal for you. I don't know where you're…

Agreed. It shouldn't be used as an excuse time and can still be a week where progress is made. Just drink a lot of water, forget about the scale because it can be discouraging, and keep your focus on the bigger picture.

There are a couple of ways. You can split them -- some in strength, other in cardio. You'll have to fill reps in for strength and minutes for cardio. If you just want to log it all as cardio, there is a strength training under cardio where you just log minutes and it gives you calorie burn. You might have to adjust the…

By far, favorite set has been SoundPeats QY7. Great price, came with various inner ear holds, always connects, never loses connection. Had them for 6 months and used every day.

Yeah that's pretty extreme. Mine is definitely on the mild side (confirmed). I've been doing suggested exercises and it's improved drastically. But I still feel my right side fatigue and drop quickly. I'd say 90% of the time I notice it and correct it. I think picking up my cadence will be what I try next. Thanks :)

There can be an easy 5lb swing for many women. Don't get discouraged. Just keep doing what was working before, and in a week you'll be golden :)

Love this! I'm so happy you were able to change your health complications around like that! Exercise and healthy eating really is the best "drug" Congrats on all of the 5k too! Sounds like you caught the running bug ;)

All depends on what your goals are and what you feel like doing. If you want to knock it out 7 days, go for it. Just watch intensity and form. If your body says it needs to slow down or rest completely, do it. There is no right or wrong to it. Personally, I have some form of exercise 7 days. 3 HIIT, 3 strength, 1 active…

Severely? I was 7 and fell off a bed backwards and my hand folded back on my wrist :s Less severely? Rolled ankle running a year ago. I've been pretty lucky avoiding major injury. Get well soon!

For clarification, what I mean by it didn't come close -- it would be 5-7% off. Depending on your expectations/goals that can be a lot. To me that wasn't accurate enough compared to my polar.

I used Fitbit with HR for a month and wasn't impressed. Went back to my strap. It seemed to have to have an exact skin moisture and placement to come even close to correct. I sweat a lot and move a lot, so the band slipped around a lot. If it wasn't about 2 inches up my wrist (proximal direction) it didn't read correctly.…

If you're hungry fill up with extra veggies. I won't say those calories won't count as much for fear of the henchmen on here, but the fiber is worth the little extra calories. If you're eating within the correct range, and still feel starving, then some proportion of the diet is off and it's likely because too many grain…

Under the BB group

Go by pictures, then tape-- not necessarily by the scale. Give your body a good month before calling it a plateau. Things go on in your body that you can't necessarily pick up on a scale or even tape (unless you're literally taping every inch of your body). When I thought I was in a plateau it's because my back was shaping…

If you go to progress, and click the calendar next to weight/measurements (on phone app), you can change it to however many months you want. Mine is set at 6.

I wouldn't call 1 bad day falling off the wagon. Temptation happens. Food happens. Don't beat yourself up over it. And 2000-2500 calories isn't all that bad. Seriously. I don't know where your body stats are, but my TDEE (for non athletic build, female) is 2000-2300. One day of eating above that range isn't going to undo…

I'm not sure if there is a group specifically for Insanity but there is one dedicated to Beachbody. I've done Insanity and I loved it. My biggest problem with the program, for me, was that it was very hard to incorporate other workout routines with it (because of the time requirement and energy dedication), so I strayed…

Plenty of people here have. I'm sure you can find something helpful in the group http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/103806-21-day-fixers

I too am around 25-30 lbs to lose. My goal is December for a vacation :) I've finally made changes in my life that can be sustainable for a lifetime and I'm confident I'll reach my goal. If I dont, I'll at least be in a better place than when I started ;)

I guess it depends on what you define as "rest" and the reason for resting. Technically I don't take any days off from exercising. I strength train 3 days a week, do HIIT 3 times a week, and have a "slower" active rest day with yoga, 3 mile run (below race pace), or something similar. I do listen to my body. If I…

How long have you been consistently working out? Has it only been for this past 2 weeks you mention? If so, your body is still adjusting. Also, do you have a lot of weight to lose or are you just trying to tone up? Many people find that the less weight they have to go, the more stubborn it is. Takes a little more of a kick…
