What's on your playlist?
I need a new playlist to keep me pumped and motivated when I walk/run. I have decided to use this as a reward system for myself. If I follow my nutrition/workout plan for the week, I can buy a new song to add to my playlist. What songs do you have on your playlist that are upbeat and motivational? My normal music genres…

FightCamp
Has anyone purchased FightCamp products or subsribed to their app? I have been taking a 10 week kickboxing class and really enjoy it. Unfortunately, the class times and my work schedule don't mesh. So this along with the cost of going full time at this gym has made me start looking for what could be available for me to do…

Barre and Weight Lifting
I have always been curious about Barre classes and a local studio is having a deal for a 30 day trial period. I am seriously thinking about giving this a try, but am wondering how this would fit into my current workout schedule. I am currently lifting/strength training 3 days a week. If I alternated weight lifting and…

Calling all Half-Marathoners
A little background about me: I have always wanted to be a runner, but told myself that I couldn't be a runner because I was overweight. This summer I read a book that basically said not to let the weight stop me. That if I want to run, just do it. In August, I started a C25K. 2 weeks ago I ran my first 5K (yes, I actually…

Fast Food - where to go and what to get?
I'm doing a little road tripping this weekend and due to certian circumstances I will not be able to pack food for the journey. We are on limited time to get to our destination, so we can't stop for a sit down meal. I am stuck with fast food. At the destination of this trip we have some events that will consist of me…

C25K App/Training Suggestions
I am looking for a Couch 2 5K app or training program for beginners. When I say beginner I mean that I have never ran more than a quarter mile at once in my life. It doesn't need to be free of cost. This is a reward I am giving myself for reaching one of my mini weightloss goals (yay, 65 pounds gone). The first 5K that I…

Indoor Bike Trainer
To say that I am a beginner on bicycles is a major understatement. Before this summer I hadn't sat on a bike in over 25 years and I now have my first bike that actually shifts gears (I was hit by a car on my bike as a kid and it kind of put me off to cycling for many years). I am at a very low level of riding. I have only…

Tailgating season is almost here...HELP!!
For me, fall means football and tailgating. This is the first year that I will really be paying attention to the nutrition of what I am eating. I am in need of some good, lower calorie tailgating recipes. I will be prepping food for a lot of people, so variety is necessary. Is there anyone out there who has mastered…

Calorie Goals
How often do you update your calorie goals? Do you do this everytime you weight yourself or after you lose a certain amount of weight (every 5 lbs, etc)?

Help with Music
I am looking for suggestions of songs to add to my workout/running playlist. I have a fairly eclectic taste in music, including Country, Rock, Pop, Hip Hop/Rap, Christain. I also enjoy music from every generation ('50s through today). I just need songs with a good beat and songs that will keep me motivated. Thanks in…

My Freezer's Full!
$214 + 1 busy Saturday = my freezer full of 125 healthy, individually wrapped meals! I believe that is a Saturday well spent.

State Fair Food
I found an app that shows that calories of food at my state fair. I'm looking through it cringing when I realize how many calories I used to eat at the fair. I would have SNACKS that were well over 1000 calories a piece and main dishes close to 2000 calories a meal. I was easily eating 5000-6000 calories a day for 10…
