Beginner full body weight training routine?
Hey all, I was wondering if you could help me put together a beginner's weight routine? I was thinking about starting out with a full body routine like 2-3x's a week. I'm just not sure where to start, I know how to use almost everything, I just don't know what order to put stuff in, if that makes sense. I am currently…

Bioidentical hormones?
This isn't really weightloss related but are any of you on bioidentical hormones? Was wondering what other people's experiences with them might be (if your post is to ask my doctor please don't post, that's not the question.)

Bioidentical hormones
Are any of you on bioidentical hormones? Was wondering what other people's experiences with them might be. The main reasons they want to put me on them are for PTSD/sleep/migraines/heavy bleeding during periods with intense PMS and weakness. I'm concerned about side effects, I'll be getting them through the VA and my…

how many days per week do you workout? do you take 100% rest days?

self satbotage
what is wrong with me? it's like i have a subconscious desire to undermine my weightloss efforts. i got down to 172.5 and all of a sudden i feel like i can eat whatever i want or i "deserve" to eat extra all the time even though i know i'm going over my calories. i weighed myself this morning and i'm back up to 174 which…

Motivation to workout going away :(
For some reason my motivation to workout/go to workout classes has just been sucked out of me. I'm still pushing myself to go, but I just hate EVERY SINGLE SECOND of it. I'm not sure what's going on. Anyone ever have this problem? It's been going on for a couple weeks getting worse and worse :(

Which one do you think burns more cals? Bodypump or bodystep?
Title pretty much says it all, which class do you think burns more calories? Les Mills Bodypump or their bodystep class? The step class moves around more but the pump class uses weights... thoughts?

4lbs in a week :/ know it's not all fat, is it water?
So I stopped eating back my fitbit and workout calories and my scale is saying I have gone from 180 to 176 (#YAY), but I know it's most likely not possible that I've burned 14,000 calories in a week through my workouts and eating 1400 calories a day. I mean, I workout hard but sheesh. I'm not delusional. Water weight? I…

Does ~1600 sound reasonable for a 180lb woman trying to lose weight
I have a desk job but do a step class or body pump/try to do 10k steps/day and MFP estimates that i should eat around 1600 cals per day, does this seem reasonable? I'm 34, 5'6" and 180lbs hoping to get down to 150. other calorie calculators say 1800 or so but that seems high. I try to stay 100-200 under 1600, never above…

do you wear your fitbit during exercise classes?
ok, anyone out there know the answer to this question about wearing the fitbit during exercise classes and whether or not to log the classes if you are then? i can see the problem for step class, though with step class i am definitely working harder than just walking... but for other workouts like body pump i wouldn't see…

Anyone else get stuck on "food jags" where they only want to eat one thing?
Right now i'm on this greek yogurt food jag. it's ALL i want. i still stay within my calories and carbs/proteins (low on fats). I add greens powder to it. i'm sure it's not the healthiest but i was wondering if anyone else ever does this? i'll go on benders like this for a month or so and then need to swap to something…

Body Step Class- REALLY bad at it-calorie question
Sooooo i just started taking Body Step at Gold's gym, I am PAINFULLY horrible at it (kind of just do my own thing stepping up and down, can't really follow along very well yet but I'm stepping the whole time they are), do you think I'm burning the same amount of calories that MFP estimates for the real class?
