What do you eat before an early-morning workout?
I like it when I can wake up early and work out first thing in the morning (it doesn't happen often enough), but I HAVE to eat before I do or I get very lightheaded and sick feeling. Do any of you have a go-to food that you eat before you work out early? Something that will give me fuel but not TOO many calories (I only…

First 5k complete!
My husband and I ran/walked our first 5k together on Saturday. It was a very family-oriented color run, so it was not even timed, but we timed ourselves and completed it in 42 mins and 50 seconds - maybe not record breaking, but we were happy with it. =) I know we could have done better, but I hadn't stuck with C25K like I…

Help with planks...
I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. I don't have a mirror I can use, but I have my husband make sure I'm in the correct position and that everything is straight like it should be... but I don't feel it like I know I'm supposed to. They hurt my wrists and my arms more than my abs. I see people on here talking about how…

Crazy body temperature changes
My husband and I have always joked about our body temperatures... since we met, he has always been super hot all the time, and I have always been freezing. BUT. Now we have both lost some weight and started exercising, and we have totally swapped places... he is always cold, and I am constantly having crazy hot flashes and…

Ripped in 30 week 3 - OH MY GOSH.
By the end of this week, I will either be dead or need knee replacements. This level is SO hard on my knees... and the tabletop dips are super hard on my wrists. Are they supposed to be? Am I doing something wrong?

Sadly, results unknown... but 30 day shred complete!
So, I kind of jumped into the 30 day shred without much prior thought, so I didn't think to take pictures or measurements or anything until I was well into it, and at that point decided it wasn't worth it anymore. BUT. When I look in the mirror, I can tell a big difference in the flatness of my stomach (still not flat, but…

The standard "help I'm not losing weight" post
Hello all, I do a lot of reading around on here, but not much posting, so I know you don't know me. I hope, however, that you'll take mercy on me and help me out a bit... I'm feeling very stuck! I am a female, 22 years old, 5'1", and started out weighing 152 lbs (carrying most of it in belly fat, so I was looking very…

Level 2-
Hello, friends! I am new to the group, but excited to interact with others who are on this journey. =) I'm currently on level 2, and in the very first circuit, the squat with wide rows kills my neck! As I'm doing it I can feel my neck muscles tightening and it hurts... it's undoing everything I did during the neck circles…

30 day shred help!
Level 3... The plank rows, where you do the plank position while holding weights in circuit 3, are really hurting my hands! The heels of my hands feel bruised after doing this level for four days. There are no visible bruise, but they're super sore from my weight pressing down on the hand weights like that. Is this…

30 day shred- TIGHT muscles in shoulders & neck!
This is probably a dumb question, but it never hurts to ask, right? I already have problems with my neck & shoulder muscles tightening up all the time... my husband has to rub them some evenings just so I can relax enough to go to sleep, and he says it feels like I have golf balls in the muscles because they bunch up so…

Conflicting feelings on an NSV.
I have officially moved from being depressed because all my clothes were too small, to depressed because all my clothes are too big and I have no money to buy new ones. :happy:

Calories going UP?
(EDIT- I'm an idiot. I forgot to tell it I was a female this time around. Please ignore. ha.) I used http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/ to figure out how many calories I should be eating, as I've seen it recommended many times on here. I've been eating 1400 calories and losing weight at a steady pace. Once I…

MFP and BMR don't add up?
Hello- I signed up for MFP a long time ago, but just started seriously using it several weeks ago. I lost 8 pounds in the first few weeks, but in the last three have not lost more than half a pound. I'm super frustrated, so I started doing some research to see if I could change anything. According to MFP, when I plug in my…
