How to switch from a PM to an AM exerciser
I was an afternoon exerciser before I graduated from college and now that I'm in the "real world" I'm finding I don't have the time to work out in the afternoon/evening like I used to.

Detox/Cleanse help
I just got off a weekend of REALLY BAD FOOD CHOICES, and my digestive system is feeling it. Any suggestions on cost effective ways to turn me back around?

Motivation tips to work out early in the morning?

I usually workout in the afternoon after I get out of classes, but I'd prefer to get into the habit of working out earlier in the morning to jump start my day.

Is it the scale or is it me?
I've been eating under/at my MFP goals and exercising above (like twice the amount of calories burned above) my MFP goals 90% of the time, and at first I was dropping weight at a really good clip. I've lost about 5-6lbs and suddenly BOOM no more weight loss. I'm seeing better definition in some of my muscle groups, and my…
