What should I do?
I am getting ready to be away from home for a month with little ability to cook. I want to lose between 10-15lbs, tone up, and get back into half marathon shape. I was thinking of doing one quick cardio session before work (30 mins or so) and then another cardio and weights in the afternoon. Any advice? Thanks!!

I feel great and I understand that my…

Why is it so hard!?!?
Why is it so hard to take a recovery day after you have been working out without any lags??? I know our bodies get used to it and after it becomes a habit it is also basically an addiction. I told myself that I wasn't going to run today...I'm still under my calories even after having Mexican for lunch and a Pale Moon…

I am SO frustrated by how slow the weight has been coming off. in 3 months I've only lost 9lbs. I know they say that the slower it comes off the easier it is to keep off.

Hello everyone!
I found this website out of luck and I am really glad I did. It is helping me to really understand intake vs. outake and refocus on what I need to do in order to get to my desired weight. I know I can do it, I have done it before. Last time it was 35lbs, now it's only 15. Need all the motivation and recipe ideas I can get!…
