I love my early morning workout routines! It's not easy at first, but once it became routine for me I don't even think twice about it. I go Monday-Friday and wouldn't have it any other way. With all of my toiletries and stuff already in my gym bag it's actually more of a hassle for me to NOT go to the gym and get ready at…

I generally don't track everyday and still lose weight. I have some general principles I follow that work for me, keep me feeling full, and meet my dietary requirements (I have some food intolerances.) Generally if I eat plenty of lean protein (meat!) and tons of vegetables, eat eggs for breakfast, and am reasonable about…

I have not done Pure Barre but have done lots of barre classes at other studios. I enjoyed it and I do think it felt accessible / helped me stay active when I started my weight loss journey. However, I never felt like it was a huge calorie burn or super effective in getting dramatic results. I started working with a…

I laughed reading this, because I knew it was ridiculous but I've actually had the same thought! I have lost about 50 pounds, and when I was heavier, in a weird way I did feel safer. But now that I am at a healthy weight and have been exercising like a fiend, I feel stronger and faster than ever. I am almost certain I have…

Haha! "industrial strength boulder holders" :) I don't worry if they hang out a little bit, but some of the cute tank tops they're making nowadays have these tiny little straps or half-open backs and I'm totally struggling! :)

Yup. If i had the answers i wouldn't be asking here.

Hi! Yes, just working with a trainer who recommended this. I know the philosophy behind CICO, and it just seems easier for me to feel full and eat lower calorie when I avoid carbs and am much higher on proteins and veggies.

Thank you so much- very helpful!

Yes!!! Definitely- I lost ~40 pounds and feel a tremendous difference, even though I still have ~15 pounds to be within a "normal" BMI weight range. My knees used to hurt while doing lunges, during and after running, and at so many other times. Now I feel absolutely no knee pain at all. I can also run much faster and feel…

I am an elementary teacher so I understand the struggle. The most important thing is to be prepared. MEAL PREP! Plan exactly what you're going to eat, and enter it into My Fitness Pal ahead of time. Then, grocery shop and spend a couple hours cooking and putting everything into baggies and containers. I cut up baggies of…

It depends. I tend to eat small meals throughout the day, so my "snacks" are more like mini-meals. I often have tuna packets (about 70 calories each with LOTS of protein!) to mix with mustard and relish, 0% fat greek yogurt with fresh berries, or an apple with a Justin's PB packet. When I'm home and need more of a dessert…

Thank you!

Never thought of this before, but definitely explains my disappointing weigh in this week! :)

Thank you so much!

Yes! It has handles and footpads, and it has my user information stored inside it. Thank you for your input! My big wondering is- even though body fat is going down slightly, with a loss of muscle mass, is that a sign that I am cutting too many calories to lose more body fat? Am I technically cutting too many calories to…

My gym has a body fat scale. It seems to be legit...
