Are food hangovers real?!
Last night I way overindulged, trying a new Italian place. I tend to eat lowish carb most of the time. When I do go out I try to limit my indulgences to one choice (appetizer, heavy pasta or dessert, not all three). Well I tried it all last night and it was sooooo worth blowing through all of my calories for the day and…

How often do you switch up routines
I've been doing circuit training since I began my weightloss journey a little more than 7 months ago. I developed my plan with a trainer and it's worked really well. I lost weight and maintained muscle mass. I am at the end of my weight loss journey and got to thinking...circuits were great for my loss but if the main…

Does this sound right?!
I will admit that I am blindly following the suggested calories on here, with no knowledge of how it all really works. So far it's going well and I'm losing weight with relative ease. I'm approaching the last 5-10 pounds and know that I should slow my weight loss to .5 per week. So today I reset my goals and now it's…

For those that have been successful...
I am pretty close to my goal (yay!) and I have been planning for maintenance. I feel pretty confident with everything that I've learned about calorie counting. My question is a weird one...for those who have lost and maintained did you ever hit a period of disbelief? Like...am I really this small now? And did you worry…

Hit my goal!!
I never thought this day would come!! Today I hit my goal weight. I remember seeing the number and thinking that it would be impossible! Even more exciting, I now know what I am capable of and that I can push myself and succeed! I've reset my goal to lose a little more, but overall I am just so thrilled!

Stretching?
What's your stretching routine look like? Regular old stretches? Foam rollers? Both? I'm awful at it. I get in to the gym, work hard for an hour and go home and go to work. I never even think of stretching. I am really starting to feel the effects. I used my foam roller today and it's pretty obvious that my muscles are in…

Upper glutes?!
I'm lost! I've been steadily losing weight which is wonderful. But I'm noticing that the top of my butt is getting very flat. I already do squats, lunges, stairs ect...and the lower half of my bottom seems to be keeping it's shape. Any specific exercises to build up the top half? Is that even a thing?! I'm not looking to…

How do you deal with head colds and hunger ?
I've been a little more hungry than usual this week and couldn't figure out why, as I eat basically the same thing every day. Well, I woke up today with a raging head cold. I love to eat when I'm sick. Doesn't matter what it is, I will eat all of it. How do you manage your hunger while sick? I was going to give in and…

What kind of work out do you consider Body pump to be?
So I'm struggling with this one. I do circuit training 3x a week with moderate to heavy (for me) weights and a cardio pace. Love it and had lots of success. I was doing cardio 2 days a week as well. Cardio bores the daylights out of me so I looked into a class. I ended up at bodypump. I love it. It's interesting and I am…

Weight loss stalled?
I started my weight loss journey about 5 weeks ago. I work out 5 days a week and cleaned up my diet. I was doing great. Was down 15 pounds in a month and lots of inches off my whole body. I am unintetionally only taking in 900 or so calories a day, something that I am working on increasing. I'm just a picky eater and went…
