Vitamin B for energy?
Ive noticed lately when I consume vitamin B as part of a v8 energy drink (hear me out) I feel good all day. My body does not handle caffeine well. In fact I can't have regular coffee AT ALL. Messes me up big time all day. My husband thought I was crazy when he saw me grab a v8 drink at the gas station one day but I was…

Anyone start Jamie Eason's LiveFit plan recently?
today was the start of week 2 for me and I'm really enjoying it. All the threads concerning her plan are older so I thought I'd bring it up again. I'm not following her meal plan but I have recently increased my calorie intake to TDEE for recomp and I do want to try her turkey muffins. I plan to take some measurements and…

Will the rising cost of eggs affect you?
I was just notified that our area grocery store will double the cost of eggs next week which would make them roughly $4.00+/dozen. I currently go through 1 large carton of egg whites and about 1 dozen eggs each week. I looooove my eggs. I spend about $10/week now in eggs so an increase will certainly make me second guess…

Is the Fitbit flex enough?
After seeing a double pack of Fitbit at Costco ($97, prob the flex model though I didn't look closely) I'm wanting to get one. I looked up the different models online and I'm curious if you have the flex do you find it to be enough for you? Is it accurate that the flex doesn't count stairs? I like the price at Costco but…

Article on Kayla itsines...how does she survive?
in this months shape magazine she said she gets up at 5am and eats 1 poached egg on a piece of rye toast before her first boot camp class. Then afterwards she has the same thing but with some spinach and tomatoes to make it through the next part of her day... I got today at 6:45 and had steel cut oats and banana, did 40…

I should be happy but it drives me nuts!!
ok so I'm 5'8" 128 holding steady. I realize on paper that's thin and I'm not aiming to lose any weight just fat as I build muscle. I'm currently in week 2 of Jamie Eason's LiveFit program. Every time I'm around my family (no one is heavy) I get the "skinny" comments and they try to continually feed me. We went out for…

Shoulders clicking?!
My shoulders click and make weird noises!! Anyone else? Today was shoulder press, side and front lateral raises and rear delts which all made clicking noises as my arms moved. Other exercises that involve my shoulders like push-ups or walking planks don't have an effect. Normal? Should I spray some wd-40 on before I start?

NROLFW boredom?
I just snagged a copy of the book and I keep hearing how boring the first 6-8 weeks are. What's your experience if you've done it before? And if you found it boring at first did you find the results to be worth the repetitive nature? I'm not new to lifting but have always sort of done my own thing or followed something…

master grocery list for speedy shopping
A little background….I'm a freak about menu planning. I truly enjoy planning our bi-weekly menus and working in new recipes and snacks and dreaming up our next treat meal! One thing that drove me nuts is my grocery list was always a mess and I came home missing items or bought something that I didn't really need but…

Bored with current snack rotation-inspire and be inspired
In most cases I enter my daily food intake ahead of time starting with bedtime snack so it's never carrots. LOL. I incorporate snacks 3 times a day between meals. I'm bored with my current list of snacks or lunch side dishes. I'm sharing my usual list in hopes others will do the same and we can all find something new to…

Hitting macros but under calories
i seem to consistently hit my macros pretty darn close but can't seem to hit my calories. Sometimes it's 500 under others not as much. I'm weight training 4 days a week with cardio on other days. I was losing weight and seeing muscle definition so I didn't change anything but curious what happens when I plateau. Anyone…
