Color Run in Baltimore
I would LOVE to do the Color Run in Baltimore in May...does anyone else want to do it with me?? Sadly mostly all of my friends could care less about exercise and wouldn't run out to their car...let alone do a 5K.

clean eating recipes!
Hi! I'm looking for a clean eating book that I could use. Id love meals and protein bars recipes if you know a recipe book that only contains one let me know! A few stipulations though... 1) i'm lactose intolerant. So limited use of milk/cream products. I can tolerate yogurt though. 2) seafood/fish allergy. CANT eat. So…

Holy S***!
NSV I finally experienced runners high. i've always thought it was a myth. But here in Baltimore, its 91 degrees(just heard the news guy say that :) ). Hot, but a semi nice breeze. I went for a 45 min run, in a highly crowded traffic filled area. Running along side busy roads. Half the time i was like F this, im going…

Just about done...
I've become quite frustrated with my weight loss adventure. I originally lost 16lbs, but hardly any change in my appearance. I was a cardio junkie and didn't eat that well either. I've since slowly refined my diet and upped protein while reducing carbs. I've finally got it down pretty well :) However, I took advice and cut…

Clean Eaters - I need help!
I have finally begun believing in clean eating and am going to give it a shot. So I've drafted a sample meal plan. I tend to follow the same eating plan every day. After a while I may change it but I need to get in the swing of it first. Breakfast - 1/2 cup oats with 1 cup blueberries with a tiny bit of honey and cinnamon.…

am i overtraining?!
I'm having some problems sleeping through the night and feel exhausted through the day. I definitely still push through my workouts and generally succeed in doing them 100%. However, the hours and days afterwards, I'm out for the count. I skip workouts when im sore, and its becoming discouraging. My weight is staying…

Stupid scale...
So I've been trying to eat better and watching my macros and buying food to fit in those macros. Well over the past two months my measurements have slightly increased or stayed the same and I've gained 2lbs and I personally don't think I'm loosing body fat. I don't care about my weight btw. I started weight lifting by…

p90x NSV!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!
So in the shoulders and arms discs, in the bonus round, there's a move at the end that involves triceps. (woops...forget what its called) Try laying down on your right side...put your right hand on your left shoulder and put your left hand by your right shoulder. Now try to push your arm straight up and down. HARD. I…

P90x small success
If you have ever tried p90x it can be quite challenging. Well the first couple times I tried core synergistics I thought I would die. I couldn't do the superman-banana part to save my life. I would think jeez this will take months to get down. Well yesterday I did core synergistics the whole way through including the…

...my pants dont fit...
Just wanted to say that the majority of my pants no longer fit :) And neither do my belts. So I have to wait to get paid and go buy probably more belts. But in the meantime i shall continue to chase after children and clean the house and do errands all while loosing my pants and i'm perfectly fine with that!!! :laugh:…

how many days a week should i lift?
I own p90x and i absolutely detest most of the cardio disks. I however love most of the weight lifting disks. I'm in the process of realizing that weight lifting will help me look better and feel better in my own body because the scale has refused to move in almost 3mons. So i was just wondering...how many days a week do…

p90x vs chalean extreme
Im debating between p90x and chalean extreme...both for the lifting aspets that come along with them. My gym is too crowded to use weights there...plus i have all the weights and i don't have an excuse if i have to work out at home! So for people who have tried one, or both...what were your results? Can you suggest which…

women who are "iffy" on lifting weights - myself included
http://theshapeofamother.com/blog/what-6-months-of-weight-training-can-do-ashley/ I found this article online (with pictures!) For the past month i've been like ehhhh i don't like strength training, rather do cardio. FYI..im a cardio junkie. Found this posting, with pictures, and my only thought is "5 MONTHS TILL…

If you know anthing about weight lifting and TDEE...
Hi! So i've successfully lost 16lbs through mainly cardio and some slight weight training, more so using machines at the gym. I'm semi happy with my body...still have fat to lose and definitely want to see more muscle definition. I have been told by a few people that my "issue" may be more dealing with body composition as…
-
Fit bit help?!
I was wondering whether it worth it for me to buy one...a lot of people have said that it's pretty accurate with TDEE estimates online. I don't have a lot of money so I'm wondering if it's worth it from people who have one!

hmph...should i stop working out?
So I have lost 15lbs since July. Lost 8lbs June-July, then stopped working out and maintained weight until October. Started working out again mid-october and lost another 7lbs between mid-october and mid-december. Since mid-december I have stayed within the same 2lbs (128-132). So I can safely assume at this point I have…

Lose fat...gain muscle?!
So question... I weigh 130lbs and am semi happy weighing this. However, I would love to add muscle definition while loosing fat. I drink plenty of water per day (about 100 oz) and am planning on upping my protein per day. According to MFP, I eat too much sugar but most of it normally comes from fruits. I'd like to loose…

tdee? quick help!
Ok, so i researched tdee and according to the information i entered my bmr is 1393. My TDEE is 2159 and my goal to loose weight is 1727. So my question is, (and although it may sound dumb I'm still confused), should i eat 1727 calories as my net calories or my gross calories per day?!
-
Sugar issues...need help!
So I've come to realize that I definitely eat too much sugar a day. However, 85% of my sugar intake comes from fruit. With my breakfast I have a banana and for a snack I have an apple. I'll normally eat some strawberries or blueberries later in the day and occasionally eat a clementine. Could this be a reason I'm not…

Gaining inches without loosing anything!
For the past month, i've been stuck in this really annoying plateau. I'm not loosing any weight although in the past 21days, i have managed to gain two inches total on different areas of my body (hips, waist, thighs). I'm debating taking a break from working out because its becoming really disconcerting and upsetting…
