Always hurting.
This is kind of a post out of a little desperation. Long story short, I've always been on the weightloss roller coaster. In 2012 I was at my lowest weight, eating perfect, doing P90X several days a week and running. 2.5 years ago I quit my second job, moved in with my parents and went back to school full time. Since then…

Restart.
Hello everyone, Long story short I've been on and off this website for a few years. Just looking to refresh my friends list with people similar to myself. I like to motivate and I need a kick in the pants. 2014 was a testing year for me. I lost my grandma, quite my second job, started back up in school full time, did a lot…

123 days until Cancun!
I'm struggling with getting into a routine and sticking with it. Aside from my "boo-hoo" I'm stuck, I'm just looking for suggestions on what YOU would do between now and the end of June to get into the best swim suit shape possible. Please don't tell me "eat clean and workout". I get that. I'm looking for some REAL…

New Year, New Goals
I'm not going to go into the whole "I'm going to do this, this, and this". I didn't set SPECIFIC goals, but overall I would like to be more aware of my body, my health, and the stresses in my life that made me fail towards the end of last year. As of yesterday I started back up in school. Statistics and Physics, combines…

Gluten free friends.
Here's the quick rundown. Started reading a book called "Wheat Belly". Found the information very interesting. Decided to try gluten free for 2 weeks to see if I felt different (and maybe get back on track of losing weight). I'm one week in and realized I'm much less hungry without wheaty carbs in my life and I've lost…

Mature young adults for support.
Feeling like I've been treading water lately. Hit my last 10lb brick wall, hard. Just looking for some inspirational people around my age with a similar lifestyle. 26 (27 on Saturday), full time waitress, part time student, constantly busy, lacking a set schedule, access to a gym but rarely have enough time to use it,…

Bump?
I've been reading through the forums recently and I see a lot of people responding "bump" and "bump for later". What the heck does that mean...?

Looking for inspiration.
Hey all, I'm just looking for people on the health and weight-loss journey that ACTUALLY have their stuff together. I need new ideas for meals and workouts. If you enjoy being helpful and an inspiration add me! I love returning the favor. <3

Information not showing...
I tried asking this yesterday on the Tech forum but I didn't get a response. This past week I had one day very out of the ordinary. Long story short I went on a very long hike, which turned into an excessively long hike because we got lost. Basically I burned and consumed MUCH more than my usual amount, and my deficit for…

Workout input question.
I'm curious how you would enter in, say, a P90X workout. I do not have a fitbit or body monitor, so I'm trying to see what everyone would suggest when it comes to entering in workouts. Lets say I do PlyoX today, would you consider that as an "Aerobics, high impact" workout?

Ramping up for June!
Going to a wedding in Cancun in June. Very close to my ultimate goal (after hovering around for the last year or two), but now I'm almost scared of going at this 100% because I feel I may lose steam before the wedding and end up gaining. Until early-mid March I'm testing the waters. Getting my feet wet you could say.…

Pedometer, fitbit, bodybug?
I've had several people suggest to me recently that I should wear a fitbit or bodybug while at work so I can better gauge how many calories I'm actually burning. Some days I am MUCH more active than others so I've had a hard time figuring out how much I should or shouldn't eat on those days. Anyway, after researching a…

Constructive criticism, please! Sheesh!
I have not been on this website very long, but after the few posts I recently made and the very frank and hurtful ways people responded I am disgusted. I thought this was a website to encourage one another. If someone is misinformed, inform them. In a nice way. Give them a pat on the back and another try. I was in fact NOT…

Week 1 was spot on...and I gained!
I managed to GAIN 2lb this week. Seriously? I ate at or under my calories every day except one, did two small workouts to get back into the workout routine, drank plenty of water and ate healthy! I'm not defeated, just annoyed...

Suggestions and Ideas!
Thanks to Pinterest this evening I've come across a LOT of good suggestions and wanted to share them. Post workout snacks are very important to keeping the metabolism going and giving your body the fuel it needs to build muscle! On that note, never workout with an empty stomach because your body will burn muscle before fat…

Tomorrow's a new start!
This past week was one huge binge. Two nights we went out, drank way, way too much, ate a bunch of junk for hangover food, didn't drink enough water and didn't really workout. I'm starting to feel completely run down. Anyone want to restart with me tomorrow? Under 1,400 calories. Some sort of a workout 4 days a week.…

Midnight Munchies.
For months now I haven't been able to lose any weight. If I have a good day, it's almost always followed by a midnight munch-fest. I'm a waitress that typically works the late shift so I usually get home anywhere from 10pm-2am. I just can't avoid late snacks, and have yet to figure out the correct times and the amount of…

Thoughts on Sensa?
I'm a waitress and had a customer bring in Sensa, you know, the new diet powered you sprinkle on your food and it's supposed to make you lose weight without actually trying? Supposedly he said in the past 6 months he had lost 80 pounds without changing his eating habits and only occasionally working out. I read the…

Anyone else waitressing/working a TON?!
I have two jobs, both watiressing, but it keeps me running around 7 days a week. It's insanity, so I never have time or energy for a REAL workout. Everyone always says "oh, you must be in the BEST shape. You're on your feet all day." Yes, I can walk all day long, and carry things, but if you asked me to run I would laugh.…
