Skinny Latte ?
I love latte's! My question is, that I can only find Starbucks values in the database. But for a skinny SUGAR FREE caramel latte, it's showing a sugar value of 24g! How is that possible and are Starbucks values to be trusted against the average espresso stand latte?

All changes happening belly button up, grrr!

But my rear an thighs are ginormous. Im the only 173ish lb person I know who can still wear a 16 in pants!!! In fact, I wore 22 bottoms at 235, 18ish…

I can't decide my activity level
Ok, so I joined a gym almost 2 weeks ago and really kicked up my workouts since then. I am a busy mom of 3 kiddos. I dont technically work outside the home. I am the type of person who doesn't generally sit down during the day. As soon as I do, my mind runs to the billion things that could be done (laundry, water in the…

Do you still eat cut val on rest days?
Am I supposed to keep my calories consistent, even on rest days or just stick to BMR on those days? Im 175 and am in the gym 4-6 days a week, 1hr each time. Some days are 20min warm up cardio and lift the other 40 and some days are all strength (either just machines or a class). I am 5'6" and my goal weight is 155. Right…

I feel gross
Eating this much, I mean. For so long, I have told myself to eat less and less and less and when I lost 65lbs, I was eating so little that I freaked and binged for about 4 months and then the scale said.... whoa, here is 15 back for ya! SO, here I am. I am fighting through the mental block, really I am. My protein is WAY…

Ever asked the husband/wife/SO this question?
I've done it before but not before I was strong enough to hear the answer. I know my husband loves me no matter what my size. There was a time that I could walk into a room naked and he wouldnt look my way, I'd do anything for him to initiate intimacy. I was depressed, felt hopeless, unwanted, ugly and fat. I notice as I…

What do YOU do for your IT band pain?
I have established I need better shoes for my gait, I am working on that. I am also doing the IT band stretches. I am running outside, on a flat, paved road. I am reading that my terrain, along with my shoes could be contributing to the IT band pain, as well as uneven strength in my legs. I am doing leg exercises on the…

Couch 2 5k and hip pain
I am doing C25k and my runs are outdoors. I KNOW that I need to invest in some running shoes as I researched and discovered I have supination or underpronation (is that the right word?) but financially new shoes arent an option at this moment. On my run the day before yesterday my right hip joint started to get sore.…

Side ache and C25k question
I just got back into exercising again and have a couple of questions. Side aches: run through them or stop? I think I remember as a kid being told to stop but I felt like I could run through them and so I did. I also just finished C25k week 1. Day 2 and 3 whipped my tail. I am terrified of starting week 2 already. Should I…
