5'8" 185-135lbs 50lbs gone
It's taken a while, mostly because I'm lazy, but I'm finally at my first goal. I hit my pre pregnancy weight! I thought when I got pregnant that I would continue to workout ... nope never happened. I "craved" whoppers, onion rings, and dairy queen. I had no self control, it was disgusting. So, when my son turned 6 months…

Need advice: trying to get my mom in shape
My mom has been physically inactive for about 15 years now. By that I mean, she goes to work and comes home and watches TV, goes to bed, repeats. Weekends may include minor walking but that's it. She's about 5'5 and I'm assuming close or possibly over 200lbs. Very small framed with tiny arms and legs but lots of fat in her…

carb macros and leg day
I have my macros set for 30% carb, 20% fat, and 50% protein. But I've been seeing people talk about a high carb % for leg days. What's the science behind this? Also, I lift in the early am around 5:30am so if I did increase my carbs would I do so the evening before? Thanks in Advance! :)

sugars in fruit
What's the deal with sugars from fruit? Is it ok to go over my daily allowance in sugar if it comes from fruit? If I'm working out daily then I'm using that sugar for energy, is that right? I'm just confused because I had a large red delicious apple as a part of my breakfast and it had 25g of sugar. It just seems like a…

new here ;)
Hi! I'm trying to lose about 30lbs. I used to be very fit/active and instruct Pilates and Yoga but when I switched to a more sedentary career I slowly started adding on the pounds. I've done this before and I'll do it again; I just need the motivation and focus. Summer and my sister's wedding are just that! Well, that's it…
