Temporary or Forever?
Hey everyone! I won't bore you with a detailed personal history but I've successfully lost weight on paleoishlowcarb80/20 mashups before and right now I'm on day 2 of trying out keto for the first time. Lost 1.8lbs overnight, haha. Water weight is fun. Anyway. I'm definitely struggling to adopt the idea of lifelong keto.…

Pressing out against abs?
Tl;dr When I do core exercises I find myself pushing out against my abs and have to consciously squeeze them in instead. Is this normal, what's the best way to fix it, etc. Ever since my pregnancy a year ago my core has been weak. I carried my son right out front (strangers on the street randomly told me it was going to be…

Veggies Make Me Hungry
I'm looking for low cal snack ideas. All I can think of is cold veggies like carrots, celery, bell peppers... And those make me feel really hungry. Something about the way they sit in my belly; I feel super hungry and crave foods like peanut butter, bread or pasta, cheese, black olives. I feel the same way after I eat a…

How do you log a glaze?
How do you log something like this? Some of it will fall off, some might not be used...? Same question with how to log marinades. Also, while I'm at it. How do you know whether a meat weight is raw or cooked? I'd assume most are for the raw meat but for example if you have several pieces of different sizes do you have to…

Hip pain, 1st trimester?
Hey everyone :) I'm pregnant with our first baby. I'm 15 weeks tomorrow, but my problem started clear back in the early first trimester. My hips ache and hurt when I walk for more than 10-15 minutes. :-/ I'm so bummed because I hoped to walk and jog for a long time yet and keep healthy that way. I didn't expect to have hip…

New to fitness, what if I get pregnant?
So, hubby and I have been trying to start a family. I just started running this month, and started weight lifting (SL 5x5) this week. I want to know: how long should I have already been exercising at a certain level, before it's considered "continuing during pregnancy" (safe) vs "starting a new intense exercise plan" (not…

Worried about starting
Hey ladies! I'm excited to start lifting but I'm also worried. :) I was going to start this weekend but hubby couldn't come as planned and I want help the first time. Anyway I have two major concerns: What if I don't have good form? I've studied up on all the moves and I'm worried I won't be able to do everything right and…

Sore feet
Just wondering if anyone else has a similar symptom, and any suggestions :) I started having a bit of soreness in the middle of my foot, months ago. It only hurts when I put pressure on it, like stepping forwards or twisting it. After the soreness started, I started the C25K program and the pain got a little worse. One day…
