Well if he isn't going use it... (creatine)
I was resent ly taking supplement inventory and I realized me have an unused jar of creatine that my husband bought when he was considering coming to the gym with me. Ultimately that didn't happen hence the unused jar. I am thinking of taking it myself. I go to the gym pretty regularly and am fairly active on most days, on…

My food pact hasn't updated since the 21st and I have reached out to them with 3 separate reports though the app and I have tweeted them several times and I have gotten no feedback other than the email they send out automatically stating that your report have been received.

Scale not budging but inches are.
I have been stuck between 215 and 225 pounds longer than I would like to admit. Everyone keeps telling me I am getting thinner and I am buying smaller sizes now but I feel like at the rate I am going I am going to be a size 6 and 221 pounds. I know muscle weighs more than fat. So i'm not loosing weight I am just becoming…

The gym feel like monotonous torture.
I don't know why but I just can't convince myself to go to the gym. I have been going for a little over a year now and it is just starting to feel like a chore. I can't even convince myself to do a 7 minute workout app. I'm burnt out but if I don't go I'll end up right back where I started.

Runners: How cold is to cold?
I do not like running on days like this. Here is Pennsylvania it is 0 degrees F. I don't like winter to begin with but I've ran on days as cold as 20 F. It was last year's turkey trot.

What do you do on rest day?
I can't figure out how to handle my rest days. I have a few training plans set up on my phone and it seems I never have a day that I am not doing something. Should I just pick a day during the week and just do as little as possible?

Support and hugs needed.

Anyone here use Gym Pact?
I have been using it for a while now but it seems like ever since they updated it I have had far to many issues to make it even worth it. Is anyone out there having problems with them?

Protein powder question.
I went to my local Vitamin World and picked up some whey protein. It says on the lable that 42 grams is one serving. I do not have any meassuring cups or spoons that do grams. It also did not come with a scooper. The have funnels at the store as well are those about one serving? I may just have to go get a food scale. If…

Leggings under shorts?
It's getting colder here in Pennslyvania and I just bought a pair of Nike Legend leggings. Is it a fitness fashion faux pas to wear shorts over top of my new leggings? I feel they are a bit to revealing without them.

Fasting is not fun.
I am having a medical procedure tomorrow morning so I am fasting today. I honestly don't think I am even going to keep track of my calories today. I am not having any solid food so I probably won't even go over 600 calories. I can only have water, clear juice, broth and jello as long as it isn't purple or red. I'm even…

Cardio or weights first?
So I have been doing pretty much exclusively cardio when I work out and I think it is time to start doing weights as well. So when I go the gym what should I do first? Weights or cardio? TIA

So proud of me! (long but from the heart)
I am really proud of what I have accomplished thus far with everything. I honestly thought when I had started my weight loss journey that I would be at least under 200 pounds right now. but it is so much more than just the number at my feet. I have improved so much over time. I started doing 5K races far earlier that I…

3rd Place in my category. 5K race story! With tiny rant
So this morning I did a 5K here in my home town. It was benefitting the homeless. I got there at 7am to register and they weren't fully set up yet, the race didn't start till 9. They gave me a backpack with my shirt, number, prize tickets, some coupons and a granola bar. I just kind of milled around for a while talking to…

Anyone use Digifit?
I just got a heart rate monitor as a birthday gift and I was looking for an app to track my indoor activities, I'm a serious gym rat! Digifit seemed the way to go because it connects to pretty much everything I have. I used it today for the first time and it double posted to fitbit. Probably from having both the fitbit app…

How many times have you wanted to give up?
I am at my wits end with this whole process! I want to chuck my scale out the widow and just eat an entire cake and give up. I have been trying to lose since November 2012 and grand total since then I have lost 13 pounds. I lost a ton of weight when I started then put some back on, lost some more and I have hit a serious…

Guy at the gym can't pick a station.
I went to the gym today to do some strengh training only to see a guy machine hopping like crazy. I didn't even know what machine to use for fear of me interrupting his routine. I was at the bicep curl machine and I watched him go from the leg press to the chest press and over to the dumbels. I didn't know what order he…

Possibly going vegetarian.
My sister in law is vegan and she has lost a lot of weight by just changing her eatting habits. I figure they make a veggie subsitute for just about everything so I think I will try it. I don't know if I'll be able to do it on a perminnante basis but it wouldn't be a bad idea to change out meat for veggies right?
