Anyone here just trying to be healthy weight for pregnancy?
Hi all, I am just starting my 7th month of pregnancy and was quite active before but still overweight. So, my personal goal was simply to not gain more than 15-20lbs during my pregnancy (as approved by my physician). I was wondering if there are any other mommas out there on this site doing something similar and if so how…

Is anyone else double-jointed and get elbow pain?
Hi all, Just wondering, so I found out I am double-jointed (which in retrospect i should have noticed before). Anyways, this isn't normally painful or bothersome, but I have noticed that when I'm doing a lot of tricep/bicep work (free weights) my elbows start to hurt. At first I thought maybe I was over-extending, but I…

Help! My dieting sucks
So I am getting a bit overwhelmed with dieting. I have vastly improved my exercise (spin classes and barre classes at least 4 days a week @50 minutes each) but my dieting is still a struggle. I always start out great in the day (for example, my breakfast was 245 calories and I have a snack coming up in an hour) but I'm…

I accomplished a lot in 2015, I'm looking to lose weight in 2016
I set a bunch of new years resolutions this past year and am so happy to say I have accomplished each one. Now 2016 is around the corner, and big things are starting to happen in my life. If ever, now is most definitely the time for me to lose weight. I am ideally aiming to lose 30-35lbs in the long run, but my short term…

After that, I was temporarily satisfied with my weight loss so I stopped. Right now, I'd like to lose another 25 lbs. I am still overweight, so I'd like to get…

Looking for something more to supplement my exercise
In the past, when i was working out and losing weight i did my 30 min Jillian michaels followed by 20-30 minute walk/jog. This worked great for me and I intend on eventually being able to get back to that. However, I haven't worked out in a few months so im a bit out of shape again. I have restarted my jillian michaels…

Anyone want to start the 30 Day Shred with me?
I fell off the exercise bandwagon again (work and school got busy, i'm in finals week) and I wanted to start it up again after my final, so on monday. I figured it'd be easier to stay on track if someone else was starting it do so we could make sure we hold each other accountable for exercising that night! Any takers? I'll…

My exercising isn't the greatest...time suggestions?
Ok, please bare in mind that I have lived a sedentary lifestyle for the majority of my life as a student/office worker so my endurance and ability to workout isn't so hott. I also have sciatica and lower back problems so high impact stuff isn't so great for me. My question is this, if I'm trying to lose 40 lbs what…

Totally new to dieting and exercise...here we go!
So I've never really strictly dieted or exercised because of my busy lifestyle, but now that I have an office job the pounds piled on and I'm ready to get rid of them! I'm 25 next month, 5 ft, and 154lbs (yuck!) my goal is to make it to 120lbs. I'm starting the Jillian michaels 30 day shred every day and I've been working…
