Calories burned exaggerations
You guys can't keep going off the numbers in MFP, nor what your elliptical/spin/treadmills say. If you went on the elliptical for an hour, as I do (level 17/20), and it says you burned 1200 calories...chances are you most likely did half. In the end isn't it better to underestimate it and NOT eat back those hard earned…

My friend has been my idol, and my goal body....she came to visit this weekend and we worked out together.

Body Building Encyclopedia
Been seeing a lot of thread about peoples programs that have given them success in fitness. I have been asked by many people just what it is that I do. I lift. Period. (minimal cardio.....like seriously, going for a short run, or slow stair climbs :P) People often get confused....."like, what do you mean...." I mean just…

My success
It may not seem much to so many of you who had a more drastic journey compared to mine. 14 lbs lost and 10 jean sizes. (Sadly my boobs went from DD to A :P) I was addicted to Percocet, I injured my back very badly......and my doctor kept me on them for 6 months, making me need them to feel okay rather than for pain. I quit…

Perfume at the gym.....
Ladies (or even men) please don't take this the wrong way, as I understand that you may be coming to the gym from work and want to smell great during your day. Please refrain from loading yourself up with perfume (or axe) before coming to the gym. There is a difference between gently wore down fragrance you sprayed on in…

Diet soda and weight gain. Myth or Truth?
I drink nothing but water and eat very very clean. If I want to amp up my water I add Nuun electrolyte tablets during my lifting sessions. So today I was grocery shopping for the usual veggies, chicken breast, tuna, kashi snack bars blah blah blah.... And I come across some Diet Mug root beer. I love root beer, its…

"Burger Salad"
I kinda threw this together one day and I eat it all the time now. Take two Morning Star Spicy Black Bean Burgers. Microwave until heated and put them in the fridge to cool to room temp so they dont make the lettuce soppy. You can mess around with the salad, put in whatever you want. While they cool: I use alot of lettuce,…

Am I still burning calories
I am doing crossfit, TRX, spinning classes and going for long walks. I workout 5-6 days a week, and during my classes i NEVER take the easy way. I always up my weights and don't stop until the allotted break the instructor gives. In spin classes I keep the resistance and RPMs up.... That being said, lately its all become…

Pants size frustration
Anyone else get frustrated when at one store you are a size 8 and another you are a 4? i have a size 4 and 8 that fit perfectly, but I can't stand not knowing my true size! I know measuring is the true way, but no woman wants to tell someone a measurement when asked what size they are!

I bought my VERY FIRST sexy dress today
...technically two, but I HAVE NEVER been in good enough shape to wear something so short or so tight in my LIFE. I know its nothing to really brag about...But it brings me so much joy. I started to cry when the dressing room lady told me that I look great. Sometimes the small things make big impacts.
