I usually eat after my AM workout. Even though I am exhausted working out fasted, I believe that it gives me a better workout and burns more fat that way.

welcome and go get them!!

welcome!! Here for support and motivation!!

Lost 15lbs since end of January. Plateaued, so need some support as well!!

Hi!! Welcome

Just for today: I will not let my anxiety get the best of me

Welcome!! I feel off for a bit due to life. I developed high blood pressure and needing to get back on track again. Here for support and encouragement

Welcome!! It's easy to have an off/on relationship with this site. But like all great relationships, you need to have patience and put the time and effort into it. I'm here for support and encouragement. My food diary is open so feel free to check it out and ask any questions you may have :)

It takes 21 days to develop a habit. 3 weeks is going to be super tough and you will not be able to keep consistent until you get through the 21 days. After that, you will be totally addicted to fitness and start to explore different variations, whether it's weights, crossfit, yoga, etc. Just keep at it and force yourself…

nope! Until I get into the habit and routine of meal prep, eating at home and being consistent with my workouts

I have some weirdos messaging me too saying "what are your goals?" "how's progress?" "hi" ..... please say something else!! Lol, here for you whenever you need it!!

you're going to feel a lot heavier on the pavement than the treadmill. Treadmills have more give and better shock absorbency. If you think you need a "boost" before your run, carry a fanny pack with gummy bears or eat them before your run :)

welcome!! I tripled in size from when I was in my 20's but I can lift a lot more than I could back then :) Here for encouragement and support!! Currently sitting at 162lbs and was 105 at my lowest after baby. I'm 5'2"

sometimes. I know there are no calories, but it's a consistency thing

welcome!! Here to help and support!

nope, eat all the proteins!! Unless those proteins are red meat based and if you're prone to kidney stones, then don't eat all the proteins

Moderation for me. I love food and I would eat all day if I have the chance to. With that being said, I eat every hour on the hour in moderation and healthy for the most part. When you put your body into deprivation it starts eating at your muscles and other important fats surrounding your organs just so it can function,…

I suggest no gloves and only use straps when you're getting into heavy deads. Grip work is super important when you're working on deadlifts. I use straps when I get into 130+kg, but that is because previously doing gymnastics and pole vaulting and being a farmer strengthened my grips naturally

Grew up in Japan so I didn't have anything unhealthy until I moved to the US. McDonald's was the most amazing thing on earth and still is when I have a craving for something very unhealthy, and Taco Bell too! (Didn't discover Taco Bell until I was in college)

Hi!! Vera Here. Always here for support and to encourage everyone on their fitness/health journey. Feel free to add me!

your plan, your decision. Cut yourself some slack sometimes, life is too short to strictly count calories. you can also check out my food diary and how much I go over everyday or whether I stay within range

welcome!! Here for you every step of the way!!

fruits (dried fruits too), chocolate covered almonds or yogurt covered raisins, dates, etc. I have craving for sweets all the time and these help satisfy my sweet tooth!

welcome!! here to help and support

we all give in and feel sad/bad about our decisions. As long as you are consistent with logging and know why you gave into temptations, then you are doing ok

welcome!! Here for any kind of support you need and encouragement!!

Eat dinner and move on. I'm sure that donut was amazing tho!!

put invisible blinders up like a race horse. Focus on your own journey and not worry about how the others are doing when you're at the gym

My biggest thing is that I have high expectations for myself due to the fact that I was working 2 jobs as a single mom, and going to the gym 6 days/week. Now that I have a blended family with another child added, I don't have the time or the energy to be going to the gym that much or I'm too exhausted. Thank you for your…

Thank you everyone. I'm trying to keep my foods in check and telling myself it's ok :)
