Will C4 cause weight gain?
I am taking C4 (a pre-workout drink) 3X a week to boost my endurance during strength training and cardio. I've seen a bunch of people say it isn't beneficial for cardio, but I've noticed a definite improvement. The main reason I'm taking it is because I've had a few injuries that will never fully heal, and anyone who has a…

Low carb dieters.. WHAT do you eat?!
Disclaimer #1: I think ridiculously low carb diets with regular exercise are generally stupid. Disclaimer #2: I'm not planning on eating that way, this is pure curiosity because I've been researching nutrition quite a bit lately. I work out pretty heavily. I eat like 160-200g of carbs a day. I see some people who say they…

181 calorie cheesecake bars!
So I wanted cheesecake the other day, but me being me I wanted to make my own, and I wanted to make it healthy..ish. Let me begin with the fact that I DO NOT bake. Ever. I can cook all day, but I just stay far away from baking where I belong (I burn cookies every time). Anyway, I wanted to give it a shot. So I found a…

Scared of lifting weights?
I NEVER see any posts from girls who lift weights, and it bums me out. I seems like a lot of women are sort of scared of going heavy (that's not to say all women are, so don't bite my head off guys!) but basically I just want to know, for those that are wary of the weight rack.... why? (also if you are a fan of lifting…

Huge NSV for me today!
Last year I has a moment I'll probably never forget. I was in the fitting room at Target, and I had hit a goal where I finally fit into a size 12 jeans (started at an 18) . I sat in the room and cried for a solid 15 minutes. Today I was in a Target fitting room again, irritated because I need new pants and the 4 was a…

NSV (58lb progress pic included) :)
Up until today, I've never felt good in shorts/anything sleeveless. Tried this on today, and I actually didn't totally hate it. I actually felt like people wouldn't look at me and be grossed out. That's never happened in anything other than pants and longer sleeves, 'till today. I'm happy. :) (Ignore my crap censoring and…

My opinion on "diets", what's yours?
So I see a lot of nonsense on here (or at least stuff that's nonsense in my opinion) regarding "diets", and I figured I'd put my two cents in to the whole thing. When it comes down to it, the way I see food is that it's something I need to take in to sustain my life. And with that, eating is something I have to do fairly…

57lb progress pictures!
My road has been insanely long and insanely bumpy. I've lost, I've gained back, and I've lost again. The bulk of my weight loss was about 6months, then it just went up and down. But I am back and working harder than ever. I'm currently 57lbs down and about to break to my lowest weight so far. I've adopted this as a…
