20g- too low for me!
Good Morning Everyone! I'm back at it today after a weekend away (and lots of things I wish I hadnt eat). I have decided today in addition to being "back at it"- I'm going to aim for 30g of carbs, instead of the 20g I was aiming for this time last week. I couldn't focus, nor did I have the energy to work out on 20g. Any…

Anyone Take Their Before/Afters?
Hi Everyone! I'm on week 4 and LOVING it. I have many goals for after too- but I'm doing this to not only prep myself for looking hot in my wedding dress in September, but also for a Boudoir shoot and my friends wedding in Hawaii. I begrudgingly took before photos, which motivated me even more, because I have lots of work…

Clean Bulking: Thoughts/Experiences?
Who has clean bulked ("culking")? Men and women- your thoughts/experiences? I'm doing Jamie Eason's Live Fit Trainer for the next 12 weeks- however I don't like her straight bulk for the 1st 5 weeks- so I planned on clean bulking by incorporating in some light cardio.

SAD Diet Comes to Haunt Me
I have been doing great and have lost nearly 4 lbs since we started this challenge. But I let packing/moving get the best of me yesterday. I had Spinach Ravioli AND Annie's Cheddar Bunnies (both are in the house for my fiance and my son). The only consolation is that they were organic, as our family eats entirely organic.…

The Whole 30 (and The Whole 9)- Results?
Hi Everyone, I've been Primal/Paleo since 2011 and an organic eater since 2010. I have definitely not been as strict as I would like to be (hovering around 85%-90% Primal Paleo, and allowing myself some SAD meals here and there). I DON'T want to do this anymore. I want to be 100% Primal. With that being said, have any of…

How's Everyone Doing?
I have upped my carbs and feel WONDERFUL. I'm trying not to exceed 50g a day- which for me is half of what I was consuming before, so I feel like I'm definitely changing my diet and the not so great habit of aiming for 100g of carbs per day. I also hovering somewhere around 2.5-3 lbs lost. How are the rest of you…

Day 2!
It's day two! I'm happy to report that my carbs ended up being even lower than originally prelogged, coming in at 16g yesterday. Today my day looks very similar. I'm a daily "weigh er"- always have been, and when I got on the scale today I was 126.1- down from 127.8 yesterday. Yay for water weight and reducing…

Before and During- One Year Progress with Pics
Just a little background. I was 120-131 lbs before conceiving my son in 2010. Right before I gave birth I was 175. Not long after I was down to 158. After a month of hard work I was down to 150/152. After that, I was at a standstill for 6 months. I was so discouraged, but didn't stop. I tweaked my diet, my exercise…

Beginner Runner: Tips and Suggestions Please!
I have never been much of a runner, but over the last few months I have built up my endurance by running laps prior to my Krav Maga class. I would like to condition myself to run a 5k. I am not signing up for anything until I'm ready- so I have plenty of time to make sure that my body is ready for a longer distance run.…

Anyone Doing Insanity?!
I just started Insanity a few days ago (I'm on day 3) and I wondered who else is doing it?! If so I'd like to have a group to offer motivation and support and weigh in if anyone would like to (I'll track this). Let me know if anyone is interested!

Why are some people SO negative?
Can someone please explain to me (though, I truly already know) why some people are SO negative? I won't go into too much detail- God forbid the person/persons I am venting about find their way to this site- but really?! So this weekend, I did a Krav Maga Bag bootcamp with some coworkers. I have been working out…

NSV!!
I had a little boy in November of last year and weight loss has been slow to say the least. I took some really rough measurements when I started (I started in January and took measurements in February). The scale has been kind of nasty to me so I've been pretty discouraged lately. I'm doing P90x (about 4 weeks in) and now…

Attention: Mothers!
I just had my first son about 6 months ago and I lost almost 20 lbs right after having him. After I resumed excercising in January I lost another 8 or so lbs. I gained 40 while I was pregnant and I had about 10 lbs that I needed to lose prior to becoming pregnant. Now, from 175 (when I delivered) down to 149.7 Im stuck.…

Apple Cider Vinegar for Weightloss
I'm hearing nothing but good things about Organic Unfiltered Apple Cider Vinegars health benefits and the extra oomf it can give to weight loss. I've seen it for myself with my grandmother and know others who swear by it. Me and a few coworkers have jumped on the band wagon (because whether or not it helps with weight…

P90x Grads
Hi all you P90x Grads... I'm in my second week of P90x and could really use a bit of motivation (thanks to a weekend out of state with my folks that resulted in some poor eating choices and lack of exercise). Could you post some before and after pics and offer any tips you may have for me? I'm currently working full time,…
