Personal Trainer / Nutritionist in Springfield/Dayton, OH?
Okay... so I'm still stuck on this plateau. It's been nine months. I'm tired of it. So perhaps, I should seek outside council. Does anyone know of a personal trainer / nutritionist in the Springfield/Dayton, Ohio region?

In that 13 months, I had drastically changed my normal eating habits, as well as having gone through these workout progreams: P90X, ChaLEAN Extreme, Brazillian Butt Lift,…

Results with Strictly Cardio vs. Results with Strength Train
Good morning!! So just wondering what others have experienced. Last fall, I went through the ChaLEAN Extreme program, which focuses 90% on strength training. Lifting heavy to build muscle cause MUSCLE BURNS FAT, as Chalene loves to say. Then in January, I did a combination of workouts (Hip Hop Abs and TurboFire) that…

RESULTS: One-Year Anniversary of New Healthy Lifestyle!!
At some point last spring, I had had enough of being unhealthy... Eating junk food to my heart's content. Not staying physically active. Being overweight. Not feeling comfortable in my clothes. It had to stop. So on May 1, 2010... I pushed PLAY on my very first P90X workout. THAT was the best thing I could have ever done…

When the going gets tough, the tough KEEPS GOING!

I had picked up the TurboFire/ChaLEAN Extreme Hybrid workout last week - and my muscles have been SO SORE!! So then I decided to look at my nifty/nerdy spreadsheet of my results last fall when…

Limited Progress for Females
So... I've been monitoring my "trends" throughout the last nine months as it relates to my weight loss progress. According to my nerdy spreadsheet, I'm finding that I'm only making progress for two weeks each month (which is fine; I've accepted it). The week of TOM, I gain a few pounds (this last month, it was 6…

Back Exercises

I'm doing tons of strength training for the core, arms, and legs. But feel that my back is lacking the strength it needs. I just don't want to pull it (as I do once…

Current Temptation
Okay, so I've been doing FANTASTIC with keeping near my calorie goals for months now (with the occasional overage 2 or 3 days/month because of sporting events and what not). Today, I am seriously jonesing for some McDonald's chicken nuggets and a Wendy's frosty. I'm sitting here debating whether or not I should go out and…

Feeling bloated/gassy
I have been on a new healthy eating plan for about three months now. In the last 3 weeks, however, I have been feeling painfully gassy in the afternoons/evenings. That started about the same time when I started eating a granola bar every morning and afternoon as a snack. But then I read somewhere that granola bars were…
