Here are some of mine: - Participate in the mud run my friends do each year. - Not get winded walking up stairs to bed. - Not have to use a CPAP machine when sleeping anymore. No sleep…

Fell way off the wagon......time to get back on......but how?!
Well I started at 326 and after losing 26lbs using MFP and simply eating better and working out a little I fell completely off the wagon. I hurt my foot and could no longer do any exercise. It made me lose my motivation and I started eating like crap again. We also ran a little low on cash as a couple and could no longer…

20lbs down (almost) and excited for more!
As of today I am down 19.2lbs. I think this weekend I will break that twenty pound mark. I just reached my 60 day mark of logging all calories too. I really wanted to be 299 by April 23rd (my birthday) but I think that is too lofty a goal - 7 more pounds in 7 days. I can see a little bit of change in my body I think - hard…

Thinking of trying atkins - need advice?!
So right now I am just eating at a calorie deficit. But I am looking to speed up the losses a little. I hate cooking and prepping so why I like ATKINS is it appears I could just go buy premade meals, shakes, frozen lunches, etc and throw them in the fridge - then only have to cook one healthy meal (dinner). Does that sound…

Foot pain - don't know what it is OR what to do?
So I had been exercising daily for a while - I would go an walk the track and sprint the ends as hard as I can. I didn't have very good shoes - walmart Starter brand with no cushion. I kinda dropped off my exercise plan for a couple weeks. Now my feet really hurt. They hurt the worse after I have been sitting a while (at…

Help picking a training shoe?!
So I bought some Nike Running Shoes from Zappos. They were tight and slid on heel but I gave them a shot on the nearby trail. Well they suck. The back is so low it slides off foot. The shoe itself is so tight it cuts off circulation. Well I can't send back since I wore outside. Waste of money. So I went and bought a shoe…

Anyone here do suspension training?
I am thinking about buying a suspension training system (non trx - gold gym maybe). As the weather warms up I figure I can take it in morning to the local park nearby, tie to a tree or jungle gym, and workout. No lines, no waiting. Maybe do some running, walking, etc while there too. How do people feel about the suspension…

Having a hard time finding my exercise groove.....
I am having a really hard time finding my exercise groove.... I tried using FitStar but it's too slow - you have to stop all the time and enter whether it was easy or hard and how much completed. Plus it's hard to use a a gym. I tried Workout Trainer and JeFit but didn't like them very much. Generic workouts, too much rest…

Traveling killed my diet - uggh!
Went out to see my little brother this weekend in LA. Promised myself I would eat healthy on the road and not mess up my progress - even said I would work out if I could. Well - none of that happened. Ate out every meal - these places had huge servings - and it sent me right off track. Omlettes, giant oreo pancakes,…

Progress photos - can you add them in the website or only the app?
I see on the app there is now a place for progress photos - can you add these to the website somewhere too? All my photos are on my computer - not my phone.

Pizza Party tomorrow - oh no!
So at my office for each persons birthday we have a pizza party. There is one tomorrow - one next Tuesday - and one April 22nd (my party) - three this month. Pizza is like crack for me - I can tell myself no a million times or try to have one slice but then up eating half a pizza and feeling horrible the next day. To make…

Q: Best book about health you've ever read?
I love reading about health, nutrition, diets, exercise, healthy lifestyles, cookbooks, etc If you could recommend just one book about eating/exercise what would it be? Secondly - what is the best healthy cookbook you've ever bought?

Want to log my exercise but don't want those "eat back" calories- ugghh.
So I have been working out five days a week - crazy for me. Went from none to loving it. I do cardio every day + high intensity strength training (almost like cardio - breathing heavy and sweating like wild). I want to log it just because it feels like I should log it, track my progress, show I am working out......but I…

Looking for something similar to Strong Lifts 5x5 - but no using the rack!?
So I love the idea of Strong Lifts 5x5 - easy to do, easy to follow, nothing complicated to remember or new things to learn. But the rack at our gym is never accessible. Are there alternatives to this program - maybe some other program that is similar called something else? Or maybe alternate ways to do this one with free…

Anyone have any JeFit workouts they just love?
I have been cycling through trying some workouts on JeFit - not too impressed. I know they have some they made and some users made. Anyone have any they have found they really love. Looking for weight loss, stanima, getting stronger.

Zero Calorie Drinks - Opinions?
So I want to get everyone's opinion. Recently I have been drinking Pure Leaf (brand) Unsweetened Green Team and Black tea in the morning. Is that okay - I don't like hot tea but these are cold and something that tastes different than water! Today someone offered me a SobeLife Water - they said have this instead - more…

Anyone here use JeFit App?
I just started using this app and the prebuilt workouts. However it annoys me that there is a mandatory 60 second rest period between each set - I don't need that much time. I tried to go into settings and change rest time to 1 second BUT it didn't change anything - likely because it's a pre-designed workout. Anyone know…

Best fitness tracker for working out (non running, walking, biking)?
So I know these fitness tracker wristbands are awesome at doing steps and that is normally where it ends. Are there any that you can set to monitor your heart rate from __ start time to __ end time and then figure out calories burned for say a strength workout or bodyweight workout?
