What are your goals for the next 12 weeks?
We are only two days away from the start of this program... So tell me, what are you looking to get out of it? Mine are not necessarily weight loss goals. I currently belong to planet fitness gym and only use the girly weight machines. I have always been too intimidated to use the rack weights and free weights, so my goal…

Weigh in & take your before pictures and measurements!
We start tomorrow...don't forget to take your before pictures, measurements and weigh in! You certainly aren't obligated to post them here, but it really helps to compare these when the scales aren't moving. Pictures and measurements will help validate your progress if you're feeling discouraged. Let the fun begin! :)

Planet fitness 30 min express room rant
I love their 30 minute circuit room but every time I've done it, there are people that go in there just to use one of the weight machines. It is starting to piss me off. I want to do my 30 minutes in the flow and shouldn't have to do it all out of order because some *kitten* won't get off a machine. The other night this…

Shaking after a hard workout
During and after really intense workouts I start shaking, kind of like when your blood sugars drop when you haven't eaten in a while. Is this normal? If I haven't eaten in awhile I'll have a snack before I work out (apple w/ string cheese, for example). And today I had a subway breakfast sammie w/ egg whites, ham and…

USDA Food Plate thoughts? (Replacing the pyramid)
What are your thoughts on the new USDA Food Plate? I grew up with the 4 food groups so the pyramid thing was not something I ever really understood. Especially since it pushed 6-11 servings of breads, whoa. :noway: I would probably switch up the grains and protein...and add water somewhere. That should be included for sure.
