Meal Plans on a budget?
Hey there! I'm trying to figure out some flexible meal plans that won't be super expensive. I have a new job that isn't a 9 to 5, and sometimes I have to travel so that there's only fast food for an option. I've been thinking if I prepare some snacks and account for those calories, I might not have to resort to fast food.…

It was hard today.
My energy level has been pretty low for the past couple of days. I don't know if I'm not getting enough sleep, or enough nourishment, or what. I'm on 1200 calories, and doing C25k. I do some body weight exercises on the days I don't jog. Today I mostly just did some squats, lunges, and some leg lifts. I just didn't have…

Confused about how much protein I should get
Hey guys I'm 5'3" 128lbs, and my goal is not so much to lose "weight" as to trim down and tone up. Basically I want to get fit. I've been doing C25k and light strength training (trying to ease my way into it) 3x/week. I've done a lot of research and am officially thoroughly confused about how much protein I need. Many…

When should you add a protein powder?
Hey guys! I've been having a hard time meeting my protein goal without throwing off my other macros or going over my calories. So under what circumstances is it good to add a protein powder? My boyfriend has always advised me to wait until I get into a good workout routine before adding one, but I've never bought one. I'm…

Where to start after muscle strain?
Hey friends! I'm recovering from what I believe to be a muscle strain in my right forearm. The pain has been gone since yesterday, but I'm afraid to jump headfirst back into something that might reinjure it, just in case it isn't really 100% yet. I injured it last wednesday. My muscles were extremely tight from a…

Best way to buy running/compression socks?
Hey guys! I'm doing C25k, and I have one pair of Nike running socks that compress the arches of my feet. They're the best things ever, and I would love to have at least 2 more pairs.

Sharing is caring!

Actually, this is my second week to be on week 4 of the program, BUT this is my first week of actually being able to complete the workout for week 4 of the program! :) Usually what I do is I get up, have a coffee, wait about 15-20 minutes, and go do the workout. This morning, I had…

Forearm pain--advice?
Hi all, Yesterday I did a short, 10 minute kettlebell workout from a YouTube video and it was awesome! I felt like I could have done more, but I didn't want to push it too much. So I decided I would hold off and do a longer one thursday. Well, this morning my muscles were kind of sore, so I felt like I did good yesterday.…

Chocolate..?
Any suggestions for how to scratch my chocolate itch without blowing my calories? There's a giant Reese's peanut butter heart from Valentine's Day staring at me... *Must resist* So, I was thinking about looking at the fat free versions of those Jell-O brand puddings. I'm at 1200 calories a day.

Trying to get back in gear
Hi all, I'm 5"3', 127-128 pounds, and my daily calorie allowance is 1,200. I've used the app off and on for a few years, and I decided it was finally time to pick it back up. When I started almost a month ago, I weighed 130 pounds and my waist measured 30 inches--the biggest I've ever been, and what made me realize I need…
