I was just…

Quest Bars? Overrated or?
So recently I have been eating LCHF in order to lose my last couple pounds. I just bought Quest bars last night since everyone seems to be obsessed with them. But I noticed they're quite expensive. A box (here in Canada) is $32.99 - and that's only for 12 bars. Do you think they're worth it? Are they only worth it if you…

Bummed out.
I upped my calories last week by 100 because I thought it would help my metabolism and I hopped on the scale post workout and my weight is up 6 LBS!! I know I shouldn't weigh myself during the middle of the day but I did. This is very stressing because I've been netting REALLY low numbers for the past couple weeks. WTF!

HRM Questions, advice pls!!
I want to get into the habit of using an HRM. They seem confusing to me but I would like to keep better track of calories burned. I've never had one. How do they work? What are the best ones?

Would you consider me active or Sedetary?
Hi! I live in a big-city center and do the majority of my commuting by foot. Now that it's winter I don't do AS much but still about 20- 105 min a day. But sometimes it's just going out for the sheer fact of getting some exercise. Would you consider this active or sedatary and log in my walking minutes under exercise. I…

Squats for big bootys?
