Opinions on 21 day fix
Hello, I'm looking to start a new diet plan paired with an exercise program. In the past I've loved some of the beachbody products (namely the Chalene Johnson workout ones). I'm seriously considering doing this one. Background on me: A few years ago I lost 70 lbs in 8 months with weight watchers, over the last 4 years I've…

ChaLean Extreme Results
Hello everyone, A little bit of back ground from me: A couple years ago I lost 70lbs in 8 months with weight watchers and walking. I gained 1/2 of that back in my final year of school during clinical rotations. I had tried to lose weight again (rejoined weight watchers) but have yo-yoed with the same 5lbs. My friend got me…

Advice for newbie cyclist
I bought myself a Schwinn 26" conversion RK mountain bike! I am hoping to be able to use it fairly regularly and eventually view it as a fun activity rather then just exercise. It was a pricey investment and so I want to set myself up to like it best. Any advice did a newbie (and very overweight) cyclist?

Injury question
I woke up this am to a sore back (I had to lift and restrain a 97lb dog yesterday). I was too chicken to do my workout (you only get one back right?) and so I was wondering how many days off should I take?

Question- Please advise
It's been too long since I've become very dedicated weight loss 100%. I'm happy to say that I truly believe I"m 110% committed! Now I have a question: -I'm happy I am losing weight.

Awesome!
I've officially done week 1 of 12 of ChaLean Extreme. I don't think I'm feeling any of the positive effects just yet. I'm sore (muscles feel well used), I'm tired (I get up at 530-545 every morning) but I am sticking to it. I want to see the positive effects this eating right/good exercise will have on my body. I'm nervous…

New and relatively easy routines?
Hey guys! I'm looking to start easy (ie low set up cost) and relatively easy (I'm very obese) new fitness routines. I regularly get my dog out for a walk but that is the extent of my exercise regime. I tried snowshoeing today and really liked it (hard but that was okay!). Suggestions?

I'm allowed unlimited green veggies (no colored ones), 1 portion of plain yoghurt OR 2 small glasses of milk and any meats or eggs. There are few exceptions here and there but…

Looking for active friends
Hello, I have been on this weight-loss roller coaster for a couple of years now. I was able to successfully lose 65lbs in 2011. However in my last year of studies (where I was on a very busy schedule in clinics) I somehow managed to gain 35lbs back onto my body. I could blame it on a ton of different things: too much work,…

"simply for life" question
Hello all, I have recently quit weight watchers (it was no longer really working for me) and I think part of it is due to the fact that I no longer love the point system. It was great for me while it lasted but I'm looking for something different. So I was wondering if anyone had any experience with simply for life. It's…

I know everyone is confused on this... But I dont get it
Sorry for the redundant post. I am a little confused. MFP suggests I eat 1400calories a day to lose 2lbs a week. But my BMR is 1930calories a day. So I was wondering if maybe 1400calories is too large of a deficit? Thanks in advance!!

Problem with my scale??
Hey guys, I've always really liked my scale but right now it seems super off. It said I weighed 17lbs lighter last night from when I stepped on the scale that morning. (I know I shouldn't be weighing multiple times a day ... I do anyway). This is clearly off.... Is the scale broken or do you think it's a battery thing?…

Foot cramp during aerobics
Hello, Weird question. When I do aerobics I find that I get a cramp in the arch of my foot when I do floor work (plank, push ups on my knees etc). How can I prevent this? I'm in good shoes (from the running room after having them be assessed). Is there a good stretch at the end I can do? It's really uncomfortable when it…
