Overeating after losing weight...help!
Last month, I did really well with my weight loss! Jan. 1, I weighed, 169.8 and Feb. 1, I weighed 164.8! Yay! (I'm only weighing myself once a month because once a week I was driving myself crazy) I was very strict about my veganism in January and eating in a deficit and really working out hard. However, since I discovered…

Fitness routine. Please help!
I'm a creature of routine. I have to have a plan. Period. I can't just go in to a gym or wake up on a Monday without a strict workout plan. So since the end of July I've been doing C25K and Jillian Michaels DVD's. All is going well! However. I've decided to start seeing a personal trainer and yesterday was our first day…

Feeling really discouraged

This past Monday, my weight was 173. I'm at the doctor and now my weight is 175.8! I know people say don't base your success on the…

Starting Over...and trying not to beat myself up about it
Background: In 2013 I was the heaviest I'd ever been. 175. Yikes! From 2013-2015 I lived in the boondocks of Texas. No friends, just work and working out. I went from 175 to 145. The skinniest I'd ever been! I primarily achieved it through my vegetarian diet (and meal planning), C25K multiple times and Jillian Michaels…

Vegan/vegetarian meal plan in college
Hey! I'm vegan/vegetarian and I'm wanting to lose weight and lean out again. At my lowest last May, I was 145 and super lean but since then I've gotten bulkier and gained weight (161 lbs now). I'm back in college now working on my second degree and I'm trying to figure out a good meal plan when I'm at school all day that…

Ladies....bulk or lean?
Would you rather have a bulkier muscular look or a lean muscular look? I'm trying to decide between the two. When I first started my fitness journey I was doing a lot of cardio (C25K) and Jillian Michaels and my brother's track workouts and had a very lean look. Since starting a bodybuilding program, I've obviously started…

how soon should you workout after food poisoning?
So I had food poisoning yesterday. Feeling better today, but still feeling the effects of it (stomach cramps mainly) question is...should I workout today? I wanted to go for a 2.5 mile run and then do some weightlifting, but I don't know how wise that would be.

Cheered on at the gym
I may be in the minority but does anyone else hate getting cheered on or receiving words of encouragement at the gym or Crossfit? I'm more of a "shut up and don't talk to me, I need to suffer through this alone!" type of person lol but I think that goes back to my own self-motivation. Anyone else like this or am I alone in…

Treadmill vs outdoors
What's your preference in running? I've been running outside ever since I started my fitness/weight loss journey and love it, but recently I've been running on the treadmill when I'm at the gym and I HATE IT. Seriously, I don't know how people run on treadmills! Too repetitive for me hahaha so what about you guys? Do you…

HELP.
Okay this may go into rant mode but just hear me out and possibly give me tips! When I first started my exercise journey it was in May 2013 and I was 175. Highest I've ever been! (5'4 by the way) I never liked going to the gym, I'm more of an in home fitness person (that and I don't know what the heck to do at a gym) so I…

Thoughts on waist training?
I've seen all this stuff about waist training over the last few months but lately on my FB feed it seems as though extremely overweight women are using it as a replacement to exercise. I have no opinions on corsets if you want to wear one, go for it, if not don't, but do you REALLY think wearing a corset is going to make…
