Planet fitness tanning beds
I have been using planet fitness since January and I realized the other day I am so PALE. I wanted to try the tanning beds but I'm not sure if they are as good as they say. The limit on both standing up and laying down beds is 9 minutes. Do you actually get a good tan? Want to be sure before I try it.

Loosing inches, but no weight
So I started getting back into the gym and logging my food about 2 weeks ago. I go to the gym on my lunch and workout 30-40 minutes. On weekends I workout in the morning for about an hour or so. I burn between 200-450 calories each session. I haven't lost any more weight but my clothes are starting to get a bit looser and…

Fasting before working out?
Just curious, So I recently had a trainer who told me that fasting before a workout (8-16 hours) can help burn more calories after the workout because of ketosis. Now I'm used to fasting about 16 hours, but that was before I started adding in exercise. I'm not sure how safe it is, or how effective it would be towards…

Obsessing about Calories
I know this is bad but I cannot enjoy food anymore. I stress about how many calories are in every bit of food. I can't even try to enjoy something at a party , event , function without thinking about calories in every piece of food. I'm not sure how to stop stressing about it.

Since changing your diet, what foods do you not crave anymore?
Since changing my lifestyle to being vegetarian, and very little processed foods I have noticed that I don't crave a lot of the foods I used to. For instance, my weakness was carne asada fries. I had mexican food about 2 weeks ago and I took one bite of my cheese crisp and immediately felt nauseous. Maybe because the…

When I changed my lifestyle , I started spending an extra $100.00 every two weeks on groceries. I think that junk food would be less to try and…
