110 lbs with no butt!
I lost 20 lbs for my wedding in October. I love tge new thin me, except my butt is now flat. I am doing some squats and deadlifts (with dumbells at home no gym access). I need to build it up as quick as possible though. We are taking a cruise for the honeymoon. I need a booty! Preferably without gaining weight again!…

Foot rolling inward while running
Possibly over pronation? I'm not sure. I have only been running a short time, but it feels like my foot rolls to the inside while I run, especially on the right side. Any way to correct this? I try to concentrate on the way I step, and can strike centered on my foot if I think about it, but if I don't think about it, it…

Advice before switching to maintenance
I am within 6 lbs of my goal, so I am starting to think about maintenance. I hear some people start gaining once they up their calories. So my question is should I actually lose a few extra pounds beyond my gw so I have a little play room when I switch to maintenance?

Women's Daily Vitamin
I have a tendency to be anemic and I am always low on calcium and potassium in my diet. I would like to find a good supplement that can provide all of these. Any idea?

Calories burned.... UHG
Is it just me, or is it annoying when your friends are burning 300 calories walking, while you are burning 100 doing the same walk??? I get that they have more weight to carry, so it's harder and they burn faster, because of that, but I find it totally de-motivating.

wanted: mock coconut almond bar
I am looking for a recipe that is healthier but tastes similar to Fiber One's Coconut Almond protein chewy bars. It is so yummy, but contains a lot of corn syrup. So I would like to find something close with less sugar. Thanks!

Running Consecutive Days
What is the down side to running the program 2 days in a row? Other than risking injury? I am early in the program and feel great after my run yesterday. I want to day 3 today (of week 2) after doing day 2 yesterday. But I don't want to ruin a good thing either, so I am torn. Any advice from experience?

Needing Inspiration for 35+
As I laid in bed last night it hit me. I will never look like I did when I was 17. I have had 5 kids and lots of stretchmarks, loose skin and a bunch more flab. The flab I am working to fix, but the skin will never be taught like it was before kids. Even my legs are no longer smooth... I still want to look "hot" for my age…

A few questions
What do you do on off days? I did the first 2 days back to back because I am so pumped up and excited. I am taking today off as my knees get sore toward the end of the run. I want to workout today though not sure what to do. Also I am not sure my form is good. Can you give me pointers on good form. I read yesterday your…

Weak Squats! Seriously!
I read somewhere that a good starting squat would be 70 lbs for me. Ha ha! As if I could budge the bar! 40lbs is about my max and I can't do 3 sets of 10! I'm blushing admitting this... I did 3 sets of 10 last night at 35lbs and that was hard, but I did it. Today will be cardio, and tomorrow weights again. Any suggestions…

Another reason spandex is my friend
Women have already discovered spandex in a good sports bra keeps the girls in place when you run, but today I jogged in sweats, and sadly became aware of all the junk in my trunk. My cheeks seriously jiggled, wiggled and slapped together! Off to buy some spandex to hold the booty in place while I run! I apologize to the…

What "super" foods do you eat now that you never did before?
I recently found kale, and chia seeds. I introduced the kale into my diet yesterday and I love it. Never had it before, but I love the nutritional content, and for a snack today, I boiled kale in some broth, added garlic power and pepper and when it was almost done, I added an egg for protein. Makes a yummy low cal soup!…

Not new, but wanting LIKE MINDED friends.
I have to admit I get frustrated with crash dieters, and end up deleting you. 1200 calories or less and exercising without eating your calories back is a crash diet. You will crash and burn, but posting how much weight you are losing so fast is annoying to those of us who stick it out long term! You will gain it back as…

I like food!!!
I started here last October as a Mom of 5, I just wanted to get into shape. I was 131 lbs and at 5'4 that isn't bad, but my belly flab and batman arm jiggle was seriously bothering me! I didn't want to look good for having 5 kids, I wanted to look good period. But I developed knee pain, and eventually just quit. Now I am…

For the ladies....
I am 36, and have a fairly seditary lifestyle. Back in October I started vigorously exercising, dieting and my periods became very irregular! Due to life and knee pain, I stopped, and just recently started back again only this time I am not dieting. Just exercising (and not as vigorously as the last time), yet still my…

Calling all Mom's of 4 or more kids
I have 5 total, and I know it can be hard to find time to eat right and workout. Not to mention lack of motivation because people just expect those of us with more than 2-3 kids to be fatter than the rest of society, so they give us a break. Well, I want to start a group for us to talk about the challenges and benefits and…
