Weight training day after HIIT workout?
I did an intense HIIT workout yesterday, full sprinting 1 min and walking 1 min 20 times. Im very sore, but not from lifting and I know youre supposed to wait 48 hours when youre sore from lifting to lift that muscle group again. Does that go the same for soreness from intense cardio workouts? Should I wait 48 hours to…

Why I've found exercise is really important
A lot of studies have come out to conclude that exercise doesn't effect the actual drop on the scale when losing weight. I have now lost weight doing both, exercising and cutting calories and just cutting calories. I wanted to share my experience for those who get confused about it. From my experience, the studies are…

What am I doing wrong? The scale has not budged
I have been pretty consistent for over two weeks. I run 2-3 miles at least 3 or 4 times a week. I also work out with a trainer once a week.

PCOS Rant: The Great Carb Debate
So Im a little frustrated with the fact that all the nutrition advice for PCOS out there is the exact same advice as the food pyramid. I was steadily losing weight doing the zone diet ratios on MFP and then after reading some online advice about carbs for PCOS I stopped losing. I eat refined carbohydrates maybe one meal a…

Getting back on the wagon...
So I was on one of the best streaks of weight loss/lifestyle change efforts of my entire life (a month straight), had even been losing weight and a negative comment on my success from a friend kind of tripped me up. I am still doing okay but am having a hard time getting completely motivated again. Does anyone have any…

Dealing with unsupportive friends and family
So I finally got into a groove with weight loss for the first time ever, and within the first few weeks I had a best friend let me know she felt competitive with me because Im losing weight. Not in a good way, and it really discouraged me. I understand its her issues, but I still feel guilty for succeeding now. Its gotten…

Has anyone had a hard time emotionally accepting themselves
I've used food as an emotional crutch for some time, and after getting into therapy I'm at least able to tolerate my emotions better and not use food as a coping mechanism as much. Ive been doing really well for a few weeks, and have lost weight but I've started to notice I dislike my body more than I did before I even was…
