  • I'm joining a little late in the game, but my goal is consistency. I've been using a couch to 5k app that includes sprints in the walk/run thing, and that's all well and good, but less good when I make it out only once a week because *weather*. Solution: morning runs to avoid the steamy early evening temperatures. Went…

  • Worked up to a heavy 2 reps of overhead squat (hardest part is just getting it back down to my shoulders to re-rack, frustrating!) then 3 rounds of 10 ring row 15 box jump 10 shoulder to overhead 15 box jump :) I love morning workouts, makes me feel accomplished!

  • I make cottage cheese pancakes - though they're more like crepes in thickness. They're low fat, no added sugar, and taste great with fruit or peanutbutter, or with a bit of maple syrup.

  • I didn't read all the replies, to be honest, so sorry if this is a repeat. Non-veggie-lovers will generally eat the veggies when they've got cheese on them! You can make chicken and veggie casseroles, or serve cauliflower with a light cheese sauce (if you make a roux with cheese in it, you can also use whole wheat flour).…

  • I've got the five fingers Sprint, and love them. But I don't run. I use them for walking, as well as for water sports (or just plain going in the water on rocky shorelines). Even walking, they do take a bit of adjustment - don't go out on a three hour hike in your first week, or run the full distance you usually do. But…

  • I'm not a morning person, and I do the morning workout (well... currently, I do it twice a week... but I'm working my way up to more!). I am far more likely to show up in the morning than in the evening, after a long day of work, and a long walk with the dog, and dinner and... the tv is right there... and I'm already on…

  • not really a solution in terms of staying at your gym... but try something like boxing or kickboxing (some gyms offer that as an additional cost to the original membership)... or doing cross-fit (they have their own gyms) - they mix up the workout for you, and you have a team-type environment, which I find really makes a…

  • Hey, I'm 5'2", and about 130(ish) lb... aiming for closer to 120ish, but I'm not really all that worried about the weight aspect of things, since a lot of my exercise builds muscle. Since muscle weighs more, overall, and I'm already in a healthy weight range, I'm not expecting much change of weight. I'm aiming more to just…

  • It seems like it's your snacks that are leaving you unfulfilled in the hunger department... If fruit is your main snack, try pairing it with protein - peanut butter (or other nut butter) and banana, or apple. You could also have a fruit salad with walnuts and sunflower seeds, or just pair eating an orange with a haldful of…
