which is worse, fat or sugar?
So I am always over on my sugar and I have been trying to work on it. Today I noticed that my protein shake that I love has no sugar but has like 6 grams of fat, and the greek yogurt I like is fat free but has 17 grams of sugar. I just wondered what you guys think, I'm not sure which is worse.

Diet changes for YAYOG
So I have lost about 30 pounds counting calories and doing cardio, I eat around 1200-1500 calories and I eat back exercise calories. I did some research and decided it was time to work on building muscle and gaining strength, and not worry about the scale. I got the YAYOG app and I am on the first week and I am exhausted,.…

Question for Insanity users
My friend is letting me borrow her Insanity DVD's. The thing is some of them are a little scratched and skip. My question is did you guys follow the schedule religiously? If not, how did it work out for you? I am not going to NOT do the program just because one or two of the DVDs aren't perfect.

Too broke for this.
I really hate how expensive everything weight loss related is. I mean common sense tells you that eating less would be cheaper right? Lol I follow a weight loss vlogger and she did a vlog about all the supplements she takes (and she does Shakeology- she's a beach body coach) It seemed CRAZY how much she must spend a month!…

I need good ideas for low cal sweets
I ALWAYS get a sweet tooth after dinner when most of my calories are gone, plus I don't want to eat a lot of sugar before bed. I have just discovered coco almonds 100 calorie packs, but I need more ideas.

Can't I just make my own?
Soo I have a friend who is a Beach Body Coach, and is hell bent on selling me on Shakeology. Now I love me some Turbo Jam and all but I can not see spending $120 a month for shakes.

I'm done being squishy, weightroom here I come!
I have been inspired by some awesome success stories of women who lift weights. i have been doing some research and today at the gym, instead of running myself stupid on the treadmill, I did a short 20 minute run, and then I ventured into the weightroom (ahhh scary i know!) I am so excited to begin this journey, I started…

Any suggestions to help this Nursing Student?
Ok so I had a baby in April and have lost all the baby weight, but I still have about 30lbs to lose to meet my goal. I worked hard all summer, but now I am in my first year of nursing school, and working really hard at that now.

The most bang for your buck?
Ok so I am super busy these days and most days I can only find about a half hour to put toward a serious workout. My question is what are some things I should be doing to make the most of a workout. I can get to the gym maybe 2-3 times a week and the rest of the time it's something at home.

Food for energy
I am a new mom and already have 2 boys. I am nursing and in school and sometimes I feel too tired when it comes to workouts. I just started jogging again but I had no stamina, and zero energy. Is there anything I can eat before working out that will give me a little boost?
