  • For the first two months, I was doing Inferno from DailyBurn pretty regularly. I really enjoyed it and it's a great workout, but then I went on vacation and got busy with work, and fell out of the routine. For the past month I've just been walking to and from work (3 miles roundtrip), but I also tightened up my logging so…

  • I'm 5'6, 139 lbs in the first set and 124 lbs now. My goal is about 120. I feel like that sounds very light for my height, but as you can see I have a small frame and small chest, so I don't carry extra weight in a very flattering way! Thank you for your kind words, everyone!

  • If I get up late, I still try to squeeze in a workout in the morning - even if it's only half of my normal routine. Then I'll do some extra exercise after work, like walking home instead of taking the subway, or hopping on my exercise bike. Do you have time to work out in the evenings on days when you need the extra sleep…

For me it was worst in the afternoon, so I started taking an antacid every day when I finished eating lunch. (As a preventive measure, well before my stomach…

  • I've been drinking shakes for breakfast for the past year or so. I usually have a protein shake with a banana, or skip the banana and have an actual meal replacement shake. Since I don't eat meat, it's an easy way to get extra protein. And it's a quick breakfast. I agree with the others, though - it won't keep you full as…

  • What does the pomegranate do? I love pomegranate but I've never heard of it as a preworkout!

  • You're definitely not alone! When I started working out and drinking protein shakes regularly, my face was breaking out worse than ever. (I'm in my mid-20s and had never had acne problems before.) Not sure if it was something in the protein (soy, as others have said) or if it was just due to more sweat, but I ended up…
