Cheating bites
Anybody else? I'm having a hard time not taking bites of my kids food. I make everything from scratch, so it's hard to cook and know if things taste ok. Like I made gf blueberry muffins for my kids school, for teacher appreciation and I had to have a tiny piece to make sure it tasted ok. I'd be mortified to send something…

Can't stop eating?!
The last few days, like 5, I've been so hungry and unable to control my appetite and caving around the carbs. What gives? Today, I've already over my calorie goals. The last few I've been far over my goal. I'm trying to eat lots of fat (140 g a day). I don't think I'm pmsing, I about 2 weeks away from that. Any advice?

Hitting macros on keto
Hi, I'm on day 5 of Keto. I'm pretty active during the week, getting 15-20k steps and doing SL 3 times a week. I find it difficult to stay satisfied on my high energy days and hitting macros too. Fat and protein in particular. I find I'm way over protein and way under fats. Then my calorie intake gets all outta whack. I'll…

What's comes after SL?
Hi all, Tonight my workout buddy and I were talking about what comes after this program. I told her I didn't know and would look into it. So what comes next? We're 8 weeks in. I read some on 3x5, madcow and such. Could we just continue SL? Or do we need to add accessories? We're total noobs and haven't any idea. TIA

How did you eat when starting to lift vs now?
Hello fellow lifters! I'm a newbie lifter (7weeks in) and lately I'm struggling with my diet. I did whole30 for about a month and once I started lifting I was craving cheese, bread, peanut butter and unsweetened whole wheat muffins, anything I really wouldn't eat on whole30. So I've given into my temptations and can't help…

DOMS after strength training?
Is it normal to NOT get sore? I'm 6 weeks into SL 5x5 and haven't had a day of soreness. I was quite active before starting lifting, but I keep waiting to be sore as the weight increases and still, no. Am I doing something wrong? Or is it normal to not have soreness? TIA!

Anybody have/had Plantars Fasciitis?
For the past month and a half I've been having pretty severe pain in my heel. For about 2-3 weeks I've been rolling it, once to twice a day on a Golfball, which helped tremendously, even got me back to running some. Today, it's been burning a lot (forgot to roll my foot for two days or so). Any tips/ tricks to helping it?…

Whole 30
Anybody here try whole30? I've done 2 rounds, with great results, combined with my workouts. It seems tho, that I am unable to lose, unless I go to that extreme and it's hard to be eating so clean with a husband and 4 kids. Just curious if anybody else has tried it and if you can lose weight not eating that way. I'm…

How do you CHARGE your Fitbit Charge HR?
So, I got a really cool new gadget for Christmas and so far I love my Fitbit. I've only had it a few weeks, tho it seems like the battery is not lasting the full 5 days. Typically, I get about 3 days, after turning off all notifications. Well it died on me last night, so I plugged it into my lowest amp iPhone wall charger,…
