Honestly, I find 30 Day Shred to be a pretty tough workout but didn't find Ripped in 30, which is supposed to be harder, that much challenging. So to each their own!

I miss my Y and am going to get my membership back once I finish paying down a couple of bills and settle into my new job. But when I was a member, I liked: -The variety of fitness classes and that the instructors were welcoming to newbies. No one was ever made to feel unwelcome. -The Olympic-sized pool. -Friendly front…

I agree. I still have fast food every so often, but I've recently realized I don't need the huge portion sizes of the combo meals. I'm not saying it's the healthiest choice ever, but I can now feel a value sized cheeseburger and fries are adequate. I was actually thinking I would love to hit up KFC for lunch, go figure,…

I noticed I'm having a harder time with diet soda. This week I drank more than I should have, and when I did, it made me feel like burping a lot and pretty gross! I even thought I would puke at one point. So now I'm finding that I need to seriously cut back on it, even though I still enjoy it with some meals where water…

I'll be 30 in two weeks and am always looking for new friends!

Cookies and cream, chocolate brownie and double chocolate chunk. Did not like chocolate peanut butter at all! I also like the peanut butter cups and am waiting to get protein powder samples!

I go to my gym at off-peak times, and there's a local college that includes the membership in tuition. I haven't had any problems getting a machine, but sometimes during my workout I notice that it either gets more crowded or people finish up, which leaves the cardio room not really crowded. At the yoga studio I go to,…

Did Week 2, Day 2 yesterday. I was finally able to run outside but some sidewalks still had slippery spots. I had to be careful, but it got done. Might repeat that workout on Sunday when it's closer to 40 and more ice has melted.
-
I am new to this group and started Week 2 today as well. It was 20 degrees where I live so I did it on the treadmill. I have tried running before but have failed. Now that I have the C25K app, I'm actually...enjoying it! I love seeing my progress on the log after every workout, and picking the emoticon to describe how I…

I like Quest bars. I had one in between workouts yesterday (did a treadmill run plus a PiYo class) and found it sustained me pretty well. Of course, I was still starving after class because I burned 400+ calories between two workouts. But I tend to get hungry after workouts, so that's not really an effect of the protein…
-
Only went today but can't complain. There was some light snow where I live, so I think that might've been keeping people home. However, I went around lunchtime and had no issue getting a treadmill for my Couch to 5K training. (Didn't want to risk falling on a snow-covered sidewalk.) The ellipticals were full when I got…

I do barre through a streaming subscription sometimes, and I just make a custom exercise.
-
Just for today 1/5 1. Do a challenge workout from the streaming workout service I subscribe to. 2. Limit my soda intake. 3. Join a Twitter chat about healthy lifestyles.
-
Forgot to do mine for 1/4. Just for today, I will: 1. Do my first run of Couch to 5K (downloaded the app last night!) 2. Do lower-body work if the weather is still bad and I can't get outside to run. 3. Start thinking about how I can have an exercise area in my room.

I had the Flex and wanted to like it, but I must've gotten a defective one because it never held a charge. Mine would have battery for about 3-4 hours and be dead. I also was disappointed it only tracked steps, so it didn't seem to recognize my BodyPump class, for example, as work even though I always get a good workout…
-
Gained four pounds, which is a slight improvement from gaining five during Christmas 2013. :lol: I went back to eating normal yesterday and had a 200+ calorie deficit. Will weigh myself again late in the coming week (if I don't already have my time of month, because I never weigh then) and see if there's a difference. My…

My gym was actually hiring for (well, maybe still looking for; I'm not sure) part-time front desk and childcare people. If I didn't already have a part-time job in addition to my full-time job I would've applied, but three jobs is just insane. :o I actually would like to teach fitness someday when I don't have as crazy of…
-
This sounds like me. I currently have two jobs, so sometimes I feel like my time is in short supply as it is, which makes home workouts more convenient. (The second job is only part-time, but I am hoping to work there full-time at some point.) My gym does have the option of freezing memberships instead of outright…
-
I live in a smaller city (population roughly 40,000) so unfortunately, there aren't too many other options. There is a Planet Fitness, but part of why I do stay at my current gym is because I like the classes, which PFs don't offer. The other gyms/studios that have classes cost about the same as I'm paying now, if not…
-
Just for today 1/3, which is a rest day. (Saturdays always are.) 1. Eat below my maintenance. 2. Make a healthy side dish choice when we go out to dinner. 3. Clean my room and start getting organized.
-
I am too! My holidays are now very, very over and I'm ready to do better than I did in 2014. Feel free to add me for support!
-
1/2: 1. Make healthy snack choices. 2. Complete The Biggest Loser Power Sculpt Week 1, Day 1 3. Remember to fuel before workouts so I can perform my best.
-
Just for today on January 1, I will, 1. Drink water in between meals. 2. Take a look at my calorie limit, as I've had a hard time staying within my goals, or my deficit is too small to create any real loss. 3. Realize the difference between water weight and legitimate fat gain.

Got three cookbooks (100 Days of Real Food, Skinny Taste and Runners' World Cookbook), a running belt and a Nike running jacket.

I'm starting Couch25K next week as my base to get ready for a half marathon in eight months. Once I'm through that I'll work on the half. I want to do the Rock 'n' Roll Half in Philly or Brooklyn next year.
-
I'm starting Couch25K next week to work up to a different Rock n Roll Half, probably in Brooklyn or Philly. My sister ran Philly last year and wants me to do it with her this year.
-
Just wanted to bump and say even given all the celebration in my family over the last week, I've only gained a little more than two pounds overall. That's a big improvement over the five gained after Christmas in 2013. I'm feeling a bit better now knowing that I can get back on track and shouldn't have much problem with…
-
Bump.
-
I will: -Run on a regular basis -Drink water every day -Offer to cook at home more so I can introduce some healthier dishes to myself and my family -Make better food choices consistently, especially at restaurants -Lose the 20-30 extra pounds I wanted to lose this year and couldn't -Not fitness related, but find a new job…
-
I am feeling a little down that even though I've maintained my weight, I couldn't get it together enough to lose more this year. Stress, depression and a job schedule that never seemed steady all interfered. I managed to exercise, but because I wasn't eating great, I couldn't drop the pounds I hoped to and will be obese…
