Reasonable amount of inches one could expect to lose in 9 weeks?
hi ya, not concerned about pounds too much but more inches. I'm in a wedding and the dresses are a scam, measure you in three places and have you pick the largest size of those places so you need mountains of alterations. Well I didn't, I ordered the middle and now am moderately panicked. So over a nine week period with…

Lifting - but not heavy
I'm sure this is been asked 1000's times, so if one of the knowing could just link me to other threads that'd be great. Basically I wonder if you can get the same/similar results lifting but not lifting heavy. Or if there are specific programs that focus on that. I'm not afraid of getting 'bulky' or that BS, but I want to…

At my best I was down just under 150, worst was closer to 180. Today I'm 170 and feeling really negative about my self image. I…

lower back pain?
Is anyone else experiencing it? I'm not sure if it's back or hips but my range of motion is decreased when I bend at the waist with moderate pain radiating down my legs :( I have my regular 90 min yoga class tonight and hope that releases some of this, but any other tips are welcome.

Protein Powder - Soy vs. Whey ?
I recently starting focusing on macros and my protein intake way pretty low so i thought adding protein powder to my morning smooties and post weights shakes would be a good idea. I bought Genisoy because it had very little carbs 1g per 25g protein, but then reading the recipes thread others posted most of you use Whey.…

Squatting Heavy without a rack
I use the gym at work (it's free so I shouldn't complain) but they dont have a squat rack and so I've been using the rack on the bench press table but it's awkward to get on and off with the bench between my legs and I'm not comfortable adding weights. I am currently at 70lbs but want to build up to heavier. Any…

Losing toenails?
So after a bit of a hiatus I decided to go out and run as long as I could (probably not the brightest idea) did 18k, felt great however my second toes were tender right away. I think the nails were too long, so I trimmed them down. It's been about 2 weeks and I've run a bunch of 10ks since but my toenails are now blackish.…

Coming Off a Bender
I’m realizing just how yo-yo I’ve become and am curious if there are others who were like this and how you finally made the change to a healthier lifestyle permanent. I love to run, but only really go when I have a race to train for. I’d love to lose 15lbs, but really only track for short terms and then gorge on everything…

HelRunning Watch with HR monitor - choice
Hey All So I won an award with my company and I earned points that I used to purchase the Polar RS300X running watch. Only when it arrived today, it wasn't the 'full' version - meaning no footpod. My choice is now to return it (and pay shipping) or purchase the footpod ($150 CDN) Thing is you can buy a Garmin for $220 at…

Shake Suggestions
I really don't want a debate regarding real food vs shakes. In a few weeks I am getting braces on my teeth. Orthro has prepped me that I'm likely going to not want to eat/need to eat very slowly for the first few weeks. My concern is I'm working out a lot and training for some races (10k and a half marathon) and need food!…

Delux pkg discs?
I thought I had this because I have extra loose discs like insane abs, but I would replace today's month2week2 core cardio and balance with sports intervals which I don't have. I do have one called upper body weights. Is this like in month one they call the one disc 2 different names?

Advise for next step.
I'll be completing insanity in 2 weeks and wondering what I should do next. I strive on routine and structure, and whatever I do next will be mixed with training for a 10k in early may. I was thinking of Cha Lean extreme or NROL4W? Goals are to lose about 15-25 lbs, and get stronger and faster
