Active in NJ??
Hi All, I've been on the site for a few weeks now and have a few friends on it as well. I'm an extremely dedicated Crossfitter, Bootcamp instructor, and CKO kickboxing instructor. I try (when I'm not cheating!) to follow the Paleo diet as well...Got about 15-20lb to drop before summer and love using the site as a tracking…

Eating terribly one day...fast the next?
I'm curious as to what people do to compensate for a terrible eating day. Do you fast 1-2 days following? Do you over-exercise the day after? Do you cut your calories in half? Does this fast work? (do the pounds drop, do the pounds maintain, etc) Do you start fresh and just make believe the binge never occured? If so, do…

Paleo Diet with or without Crossfit
Is anyone on here following the paleo diet? Specifically crossfitters? I've been doing CF for about 3 months now and after gaining close to 10lb (which i would assume to be muscle since my measurements are about the same) I'm looking to drop all that and more. I've been doing (and also cheating pretty badly) the paleo diet…

Stop exercising to lose weight?
Ever since I started crossfit I've been working out heavy 5-7 days a week. My diet isn't terrible but I feel like I've been gaining weight and my metabolism is just shot. Does anyone feel like this? Do you take 1-2 weeks off (I seriously just died saying that). Change up your routine? Maybe just put in some basic cardio w/…

31 Heroes WOD 8/4/11
Hey All, So apparantly across the CF nation there was an event this past Saturday call the 31 Heroes Workout to Remember. It was a 31 minute AMRAP of 8 thrusters, 6 rope climbs, and 11 box jumps. This is a partner WOD--while one person is doing the workout the other is doing a 400m run w/ a 40lb or 20lb sandbag. Once they…

2013 Regionals--jumping ahead.
So I spoke w/ a fellow CF-er (actually a girl that got me interested in it the first place) and we got into the conversation about how she is preparing now to get herself ready for next year's games. Diet is in tact as is working on form, technique, etc. After speaking w/ her I decided that I want to go that route as well!…

Pre-Mudder, take the day off?
Need advice: I'm doing the Tough Mudder on Saturday mid morning (for the first time) and am debating whether or not to take a day off today. Today's workout is 21-18-15-12-9-6-3 pullups (I'd probably do ring rows or w/ a resistance band--cant cut the hands again), pushups, situps, squats. Maybe nix CF today and just do…

First Unassisted Pull-ups--Hands torn to shreds.
So I did my first WOD w/ unassisted pullups today (did my first set of 5 last night EVER--proud like you wouldn't believe) and my hands are in absolute shambles. BTW these are kipping pullups.

Sportline HRM
I just bought a Sportline HRM and I was curious if anyone else has one of these? When I enter my information it only asks for my sex and age...shouldn't height and weight be included? Just wondering how much it matters... Happy Monday!

Golfer's elbow?
So this morning I went to a different gym and kind of went out of my usual program which I believe helped form my newest found injury: Golfer's elbow (according to google). Basically the inside of my elbow (especially the left) is KILLING ME, especially when I extend it fully. I'm definitely taking tomorrow off (3 rounds…

1 week old member
Hi I'm Kristen and am obsessed with this site and the tools it has to offer. I was overweight for pretty much my entire life until a couple years ago when I had a 40lb drop due to strict dieting, the Insanity program by Beachbody, and a planned California trip (being w/ 2 thin, modelesque girls is pretty much what was the…
