I spend too much time eating for fun, and not enough time moving for fun :). And almost all of my favorite foods involve some combination of cheese + starch (loaded potato skins, cheese fries, fettucine alfredo, mac & cheese, pizza, nachos, grilled cheese sandwiches... about the only exception would be brownies, lol), and…

If you really want to challenge yourself with minimal equipment, look to exercises that use your whole body and take you through a broad range of motion - squat thrusts/burpees immediately come to mind. There are lots of things you can do with kettlebells (swings, snatches, turkish get-ups) - some of them even work pretty…

If your calories are low enough, and you try to have a very high protein intake, then yeah it can be done... but why? Sounds like a ticket for misery. Honestly I wouldn't try to eat either low carb or low fat. Eat a balanced diet, preferable consisting mostly of whole foods, at a calorie level that supports your goals. If…

Levothyroxine is the same thing as Synthroid (which is the brand name. Usually levothyroxine means you're taking the generic - synthroid is a little round pill that will have the dosage in mcgs on one side and synthroid on the other), which is a synthetic t4. Armour is natural thyroid gland (usually from dessicated pigs…

Ultimately if you want your life to change then you have to change the way you live. You're not going to get the results just from wishing it would just magically happen - and you're not going to get long term success unless you commit to making a long term change in your lifestyle habits. If you want to be healthier, you…

I was diagnosed hypothyroid when I was 19. For me, the only way the weight shifts is if all of my ducks are in a row - medication, low calorie diet, and daily exercise (at least 30 minutes a day, but usually shoot for more - and it has to be relatively high intensity. Walking doesn't cut it for me). And my calories have to…

You have to pay money to be a coach. It's not worth it unless you genuinely want to dedicate yourself to being a salesperson for beachbody products. Two weeks isn't very much time. I wouldn't write off a workout plan in that short of a time, unless you just don't like it. Wait until you've completed at least a month (or…

Something to keep in mind - if you struggle with bingeing during times of stress, you might want to aim for maintenance during times that you expect to feel overwhelmed (finals, exams, family events, whatever). You may not hit your weight loss goals as quickly as you might like, but you might have a better chance of not…

Another shout out for the enell sports bras :) Before my breast reduction I was a 36GG or H (depending on brands), and the only time I'd ever experienced bounce-free training was after I tried the enell bras. They're super tight and not at all sexy, but if you have problems with back pain and boob bounce then they…
