Best Beach Body program for fat loss?
Hey everyone! Like many, I am revamping my work out game this new year. I'm not a gym person (having worked at one and been a member). I like my at home work outs. What is the best BB program for fat loss? I'm looking to shed fat and gain muscle at the same time. Thanks!

Transitioning vegetarian macros... WHAT DO I DO?
I've decided to begin my vegetarian transition, hopefully to become vegan eventually. However, everywhere I look it tells me I need to be eating a super high percentage of protein if I want to lose weight and be healthy. I think it's bull, but I don't know what my macros should be looking like... Today, I was able to hit…

Increasing self-worth after years of bullying
Hi everyone, For those who have been bullied, like me, how did you go about repairing your self-worth in your adulthood? This is something I really struggle with in terms of relationships with the opposite sex (i.e., feeling worthy of a relationship/happiness, feeling "good enough" for your partner). Thanks in advance for…

Fat Shredder diet - lunch ideas
Hey everyone! I'm trying to get as close to the fat shredder diet as I can, but it's difficult. I only have one solid meal/recipe that makes my protein macro sky rocket (turkey chilli). I'm looking for recipes that are relatively simple, are high in protein and low in fat. Any suggestions? I did 1.5 weeks of turkey chilli…

How do I up my protein intake?
My goal right now is losing weight and I don't think I'm getting enough protein no matter how hard I try. Firstly, how do I know how much protein I should be getting? MFP tells me 25% and I can usually get to that, but then I see other people at 40-50% and I've never hit that number in my life. I have a protein shake in…

Time of month cravings!!!
I usually have pretty good will-power, especially recently now that I've been getting all the nutrition I need. But as soon as my hormones start going crazy... I literally will eat anything and everything. I honestly just ate a spoonful of peanut butter followed by 3 pickles followed by a handful of chocolate almonds…

Ate over my cals today and feeling bad
I started my healthy eating plan along with the 30 Day Shred. I was feeling so good up until today, when I overate by 266 calories. I've realized I'm a total stress eater. I'm getting into my new work schedule and feeling so tired and without energy waking up so early to get to work. For some reason I felt emotionally weak…

Giving up drinking?
I think something that's been hindering my weight loss a lot is my drinking habits. I go out a lot with my friends (I'm a university student) but I really want to try to cut down, or cut it out completely. Not only are drinks suuuuper high in calories, but it'll be better for my mental health too... and better on my bank…

Hiding behind my clothes
I hate the feeling of waking up and not being excited to put on an outfit. I hate seeing photos of women wearing all the styles I would love to, but I feel too big to wear them. I hate going to clothing stores and nothing fits me the way I want it to. It's so frustrating and disappointing... All I wear lately are leggings,…

Beach Body support groups on Facebook?
I use to be a part of a Beach Body support group on Facebook but stopped posting as I wasn't doing a program. I would like to join a new one now, if anyone could point me in the direction of a coach who has one. Thanks!

Opinions on ISOFemme protein powder?
I was looking through the protein powder selections at Wal-Mart today. I spent a lot of time reading through the ingredients. I'm very skeptical of using protein powders, as I feel like it isn't sustainable (I don't want to be using them my entire life), but I thought I would pick it up and see what you guys thing, and…

Heavy instep, Nikes ruined my feet!
I have a heavy instep and put a lot of weight on my toes (specifically on one foot). I used to wear orthotics but I grew out of them and am in the process of replacing them. I recently bought a pair of Nike FlexRun 2013's. I've got into jogging and really enjoy it... totally underestimated my ability and can run 5k no…

Purchase nutrition containers from 21 day fix?
Is it possible to purchase just the nutrition plan/containers from the 21 day fix, rather than the whole package? I don't have a credit card and therefore am unable to purchase the program, so I was wondering if there was somewhere that sold this separately. I'm doing Insanity and would like to have these containers to…

Advice for Insanity?
I've struggled with my weight for a long time and this year have found a crazy amount of motivation to get fit. Last summer I completed 60 days of P90X, but stopped enjoying it as it required a ton of equipment I just didn't have. Then December came, and I went back to bad binge eating habits. This year I started hitting…

Feeling sexy with your SO
OK... I hope this type of post doesn't violate any rules, but I doubt it. I'm in a relatively new relationship (we've been friends for a while) and we haven't had sex yet. In the past, I've allowed my low self-esteem and lack of body confidence to affect my ability to enter relationships. It's extremely frustrating because…

Healthiest/best protein powder?
I want to start drinking protein shakes in the morning, as I'm not a big morning breakfast person. I tried Shakeology and really hated the taste. It tasted super artificial to me. I'm wondering if anyone can recommend their favourite protein powders, along with their favourite shake recipes? I saw a ton of options at Bulk…

Do you log your exercise?
I find logging my exercise really throws me off my caloric intake. It confuses me as it subtracts my exercise from my overall calories, meaning I would end up eating more.

Confused... Losing inches but not weight?
OK, when people say this I get so confused. I know muscle weighs more than fat, so maybe that's what this means? I wonder how you can lose inches and not be losing at least a bit of weight. I'm not too hung up on numbers anymore, but am just curious.

Doing work out videos with roomates...
I love doing work out video programs, but I'm a student and live with roommates and it always makes me a little self-conscious as they can hear me bouncing around in my room. Anyone else deal with this? haha
