Help with Nurtition
I met with a trainer yesterday who suggested I get 150 grams of protein, with no more than 50g carbs a day then allow myself a cheat meal once a week. I am at a loss of what I can possibly eat to hit these macros and my calorie goal which is typically 1600 w/ exercise. Any one have any ideas? Is there a meal plan I can…

Is there an app for that?
I played around with kettle bells a little at the gym today. I didn't really know what to do with them (just a few moves I saw someone else doing) but it got me wondering if there's an app for my Iphone I can download that can help me give me new ideas for the gym. Something that might create a personalized gym workout for…

All the reasons why this won't work for me ;)
Hi There, I'm not 'new', but I'd like to re-introduce myself and hopefully make a few new friends to help motivate me on this journey (most of the ones I have/had are inactive now).

Can someone explain this to me?
I've been somewhat stalled for the past 2 wks with weight loss. I *know* why (eating a little more than I should and not working out as much or as hard as I was). Yesterday, I indulged in a little cheesecake AND some strawberry shortcake (4th of July bbq) and today showed a loss a 1.4 lbs! Holy smokes! Why on earth would…

Exercise: order of events?
I've gotten decent results in the month I've been going to the gym, but I'm just wondering if there's a better way. I have an hour (give or take a little... flexible hours just have to make up the time missed from work at the end of the day) and usually do the bike for a 10 min warm-up, weight-lifting for 20 min, then…

Saw someone post that quote on facebook and it made me laugh! I was pretty blessed genetically and was skinny for most of my life. Once I got pregnant with my daughter…
