For those of you who are into preworkout.....
What is your favorite brand/flavor? I currently have C4 pink lemonade and watermelon. Looking at a Muscle Pharm right now... has anyone tried this before?

Does this sound right?
I'm starting week 8 of SL on Monday... had a trainer measure the circumference of my thigh this morning and it has gone down 2 inches. Does this sound normal? I've stuck to the weights every single time so I would assume that yes, the muscle is getting bigger, but the fat has gone down considerably. What are your thoughts?…

I'm new... And I feel lost.
I had a specific lifting plan I did for 4 weeks. In efforts to mix things up, I completely changed my workout routine. I researched and came across the 5x5 routine and it sounds really appealing to me. I'm not new to weight lifting so I'm just feeling lost as to where I should start with the 5x5 routine. And also, should I…

Squatters....

I am finally feeling better this morning, thank God. I was doing back squats this morning and noticed that when I was squatting down and holding…

Does This Seem Right?
I had one of the personal trainers at my gym create me a macro plan for toning with losing about 7 pounds. My mom told me that the numbers she gave me seem off. I am hitting my fat/carbs/protein macros but never my calories. Can someone look at these and tell me if these are right? Weight lifting days: 2000 calories, 50…

It's the Little Things That Matter....
This morning I got my body composition done, as earlier posted, and as many have you told me -- they're not super accurate so I shouldn't be concerned about that number. It definitely didn't go the way I was hoping.. so that was at 5:15 AM. Got a phone call around 10:30 AM saying I didn't get the job that I so badly had…

This Cannot Be Right....
Today is week 5 of being on my macro plan and lifting 3 times a week. When I first started, I used a hand held device to calculate my body fat percentage. I took it at 7 pm, and earlier in the day I had 2 cups of coffee and obviously ate all my meals. It said I was at 25.3% body fat. Fast forward to this morning, when I…

Alcoholic drinks
Last night, my boyfriend and I went to a hockey game. Being the nice guy that he is, my boyfriend got me Mike's Hard Black Cherry Lemonade.. 16 ounces. I scanned the barcode for the macros and couldn't believe it had 400 calories and 46 grams of carbs -- essentially 1/3 of my daily carb intake. I had about 4 ounces and…

Been here for a bit... but figured I would introduce myself!
Hi everyone, I'm Brittany! I started my weight loss journey in July 2013. Prior to then, I was up and down on my weight. I guess the highest number I ever remember seeing on the scale was 190.. that was scary to me, so I decided to get my butt in gear. I joined Weight Watchers in July and I've been steady at it ever since.…

Pain in Knee?
I've recently noticed a lot of pain in my right knee when running. I obviously stop immediately when it starts to hurt. I've been told by a few fellow runners that it might be "Runner's Knee". It also sometimes hurts when walking down the stairs. The pain in generally in the back of my knee. It doesn't look swollen at all.…

Go to foods?
Pretty new at this macro counting thing. My trainer wants me to have 10-20 grams of protein / 10g of fat immediately following a 60 minute cardio session in the morning. Does anyone have recommendations that might fill these macros?
