The trick is to have a significant other who also loves fitness. Then you can fart together. :flowerforyou:

I loooove to put on Pandora's David Guetta station when I go to the track. As of now, "Radioactive" by Imagine Dragons gets me super pumped. I feel like a badass when it's playing, haha.

My friend/coach is 5'4 and 142 and GORGEOUS. She is proud of her weight because it's muscle. Don't worry about the goal weight so much. Measurements, photos, and clothes are a much better way of gauging fat loss than that stupid scale. I've gained 10 pounds since I've started heavily working out and logging on MFP and…

Definitely think a doctor/nutritionist would be helpful for this. I have never ever been pregnant/had a baby so I don't want to steer you off track. :) I tend to follow 45% carbs/25% fat/30% protein. Generally a decent guideline for protein is to eat 1.5-2g per kg (depending on your workout level and when you're sick it's…

I used to go for long, slow jogs thinking that was the best way to get a muscular body. That was also when I ate very little, too. Now that I've been focusing on weightlifting and body resistance training I have gained 10 pounds and love it. I think it's different for every body. Now I sprint twice a week, yoga once,…

Hey, there! Jensen from Brooklyn, NY. I've lived here for a little over 3 years and adoring it. Being active and working out makes me happy and I want to spread the love! :)

Feel free to add me! I'm a vegetarian 'bulking' so I eat a LOT of protein. :)

Hey there! I'm apple too. I always gain weight in my tummy and boobs and it's frustrating not seeing it change as much as I want it to. I've been working towards exercising regularly and eating clean for almost a year now. I became a vegetarian 3 years ago and haven't gone back since. I don't think there is one diet that…

Hey! Slightly old post but I live in Williamsburg and would love workout buddies! :)

It sounds like you're hitting that dreaded plateau.. Our bodies reach a point where they like the extra fat and don't want to let it go! Also keep in mind that changing your lifestyle, while it's a much better way to lose weight and keep it off, takes longer. I get frustrated a lot that I'm not looking as cut as I want but…

Hi, Maelee! First off grats on getting on here. Tracking calories is a must and this site is super helpful. There's also a great community on here too. What does a day of calories and meals look like for you?

There is no magical number or solution to losing inches in certain spots. Unfortunately, we are all different so your body could lose differently than ours. With that said you should work out regardless. Even if you don't reach that target you'll be healthier than you are now! You only have the weight to use. Just remember…

You can absolutely do this! :) There are loads of great training guides online to running. If you plan on running a longer distance than you're used to go for endurance instead of speed. Figure out if you like to eat before your runs or not. Maybe music will help you take your mind off of it. Above all, just go out and run…

Late night snacking has a habit of coming from lack of day eating. Either that or boredom. Is there any way you can try to get in the habit of going to bed earlier? If you sleep at night you can't snack. :) Maybe a bigger breakfast or lunch would help. I eat a good 400-500 calories for breakfast so as the day progresses my…

This is a super great thread. Although I'm an inch taller at 5'6" I always struggled in college with being a little overweight. I was 140 at my heaviest and now the scales are stopping at 123 and I'm pretty happy with where I'm at! I have always hated my tummy and wanted it to be flatter. Truthfully we just have to embrace…

You are doing something so awesome and incredible for your health! You should share it with the world. Changing your fitness and diet is an amazing feat and keeping an outwardly positive attitude can help you keep a good outlook on the inside. :)

Hey there! I'm 5'6 and 125lbs. I struggled a lot with losing that 20lbs and it didn't happen overnight but I'd love to help you! Let's be friends. :D

Welcome! I'm new too! :) I love fitness and love sharing tips and motivating others. I'd love to be a part of your journey!

BUMP! :) I run, do yoga, and bike ride. I needed a GREAT bra that could keep me strapped in. As a 36D the Moving Comfort Luna bra is the only one that works for me. You don't have to layer. It's a great investment. Just spend the money once instead of buying loads of cheap crummy bras.
