allergic to BMF?
Hey guys, I've been wearing my BMF for a week and a half and today I noticed that under where one of the sensors rests I have a red spot and it kind of itches/hurts. Anyone else have this happen? K

7.5 weeks in - am I swollen?
Hi everyone, So I posted a couple weeks ago that I had lost an inch off of my waist. Well, then right after it was my TOM but that was now a week ago. Anyway, I swear I ballooned up with water these last few days. My therapist, who works with the Eating Disorder unit in a nearby psych place, says she's seen this happen.…

Waist Shrinking!!!
Hi Y'all, I've been eating 2000 cals (my cut) for maybe 5.5 weeks or so? I try not to stress on how long these days. I really like the relaxed timeline we all embrace here. Anyway, today (after eating 2500 or so yesterday, even) I measured my waist and it's 29.5 inches! I've been 31 or so for months. I really was just…

What if I overeat one day?
Doing the 15 % cut. I went over by 500 or maybe more today. See what cocktails will do? Should I just move on in life or would it be okay to workout a little extra or eat a little less tomorrow? I feel like I did this a couple times last week already...

leg exercises that DON'T work the inner thigh?
Hi everyone, I've been lurking here for almost a month and haven't introduced myself! I'm 5'6'' and have been eating 2000 cals a day for almost a month now. Same time I started Chalean Extreme. Last fall I hurt my adductor (inner thigh/groin strain, very deep in my case). I got better by sticking to yoga and resting. Then…

Don't be the Guy (vid)
Had this sent to me today and it made me laugh. This is why I work out at home. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-91_iXATY8 Made me think of you guys, since so many of us are lifters.

Any vegans reaching protein macros?
Hi! I've been eating more for about... 3-4 weeks now? I think? I'm trying not to count and just go with it. Also not weighing. Feeling better. I've been doing mostly okay on eating enough. Going under a few times, but not by much. Mostly I think I'm just learning to trust that it's okay. However, I never reach 30% protein.…

Swollen wrists while weight lifting
Hi there, I've been doing Chalean Extreme for a few weeks and I've noticed that by the end of the workouts, my wrists are swollen. They don't hurt but feel... odd. I can feel that there is more to them than there ought to be. And bending them feels weird. It only really affects things during pushups. Am I doing something…

Kettlebells - interfere with weight training "recovery?"
Hi! I'm doing Chalean extreme - with heavy weights. I do m, w, f lifting. Cardio on t, th, sat. I miss my kettlebells. But are they more a strength or cardio exercise? Or a definite hybrid. If I do kettlebells on my "cardio" days, would it interfere with muscle recovery, or do they not really build muscle? Thanks!

The whole day is ruined after a workout? So exhausted
Hi, I know others have posted similar questions, but I'll try to be specific. I've been doing chalean extreme with some TF and TJ thrown in (not a scheduled hybrid, just subbing in TF for cardio and doing some HIITs on weight days sometimes). It's not so bad when I only do the weights. But when I do Turbo Fire, I am just…

BBL - no waiting between strangth workouts?
Hello, If this has already been covered, please point me to a thread. I tried serching, but perhaps I didn't choose the correct search terms. Anyway. I have been doing the Brazil Butt Lift this week and it has brought up a question I've had for a while. I've always heard one should wait 48 hours before toning the same…

MFP way or Katch-McArdle daily cals
Hi All, So, I was reading through some threads and now I have a dilemma. I am 5'6'' (which may or may not matter) and 165 pounds. I do intense power yoga 4 times a week, 90 mins each time (although 15 minutes is stretching, so really 75 mins). MFP tells me I should eat 1390 daily for 1lb/week loss. Then, you know, add in…

Adductor injury - now what?
Hey y'all, I know it's almost a holiday, so I'm not sure if I'll get some responses, but here's my deal: I injured my adductor (inner thigh, deep up inside the joint, also radiates to the center of my right buttock, like a pinpoint. Also felt, during and after running, on the front of my rip hip, about three inches inward…

Shaky this morning - food or yoga? Both?
Hello All, S last night I went to super sweaty 86 degrees never stopping always flowing POWER yoga. It kicked my *kitten* a little :-) I used to do this all the time, but it's been a couple of years. I've been running but am taking a few days off to avoid shin issues and abductor issues. So I did this yoga thing. 90…

afraid of all food - help me pick a system?
Hello all, female. 25. 5'6'' 180 pounds. Hoping someone can help me here. A little over two years ago I moved from Boston to Los Angeles. In that first year here I gained 40-50 pounds. I did nothing differently at first. Then when I started gaining I dieted. I exercised. I tried freaking everything. And I mean that. I ran…
