Tofu scramble with zucchini and a piece of multigrain toast with black currant spread.

...You know you can ask for less rice (or even no rice) right?

Hi :) I'm 30, 5'4", and I would like to lose about 50 lbs.

To me, it looks like it's already going down. Just keep at it!

During the school year I make a protein shake with protein powder, almond milk, kale, and banana and take it to work with me, or I bring pre-made chia pudding. On weekends and in the summer, I make egg concoctions. Lately my favorite thing has been one slice of multi-grain toast topped with kimchi and a sliced hard boiled…

People not wiping their sweat, people not reracking their weights, people clinking the weights on the machines. Standard gym etiquette, but obviously there are a lot of people who don't follow it if we all have the same complaints...

I agree with those who have mentioned bentos. They're designed to be stored at room temperature so no refrigeration is necessary and there are so many creative options. http://www.justbento.com is my favorite site with recipes and complete bento ideas.

I'm 30 and single with a 5 year old standard poodle.

60?

M,W,F I do couch to 5k (I'm on week 3). TuThSu I do strength training (5x5). Saturday is my rest day. It's really hot out today so I'm going to do my run at like 8pm.

I started yesterday! I used the olympic bar for everything. The bar was a little heavy but doable for the bench press, easy for the squats, and really hard for the barbell row. The next time it comes back around to Workout A I am not going to add weight for the barbell row just yet but I'll try it with the recommended…

I did w3d2 today. I feel very slow, but at least I am running when I am supposed to run. Hopefully the pace will come.

Hi :) I just turned 30 too, and I'm starting with a smaller goal than my ultimate goal as well. Good luck~

I eat food and lift weights. It's nice to see so many women who do :)

You should check the labels on your vitamins. The multivitamin and prenatal vitamins probably have a lot of the same ingredients. Both of them probably also have folic acid. Also ibuprofen can cause stomach problems if you take too much, if you take it too frequently, or if you take it on an empty stomach. ETA: Some…

I use the Active Couch to 5k App. I love it because it yells at me when it's time to jog or walk so I don't even have to think about it, and it also logs my route and my average speed and stuff. http://www.active.com/mobile/c25k

Hey! I just finished Week 2 yesterday. I've been alternating Couch to 5k with gym days. I just got new running shoes and I signed up for a race on August 30. It's so awesome that there's a group for this :D

I make a shake with 1-2 scoops of chocolate protein powder, kale, a banana, almond milk, and either a tablespoon of almond butter or greek yogurt.

I always assume that if a trainer just has people do machine circuits, they don't really know what they're doing. I'd go to whoever is in charge at your gym and ask for a trainer that knows how to do free weights.
