lost 20 lbs but I still don't look or feel any different
I started my workout at 210 lbs. I currently weigh about 190 lbs. So I have no idea why after about 20 pounds of weight loss I still don't feel or look any different when I look at myself in the mirror. I take pictures of myself once a week and I still don't see any much of a difference. has anyone else had this problem?…

Are you supposed to feel sore after a workout to ensure a workout is well done?
I mean I don't feel sore at all but the scale this week says I dropped 5 lbs so clearly I must have done something right. But I was under the impression that being sore ensures you did a good workout or that you lost weight faster or something. Can anyone confirm if this is true or if muscle soreness contributes to a…

I weigh 200 lbs. I use to weight 140 lbs once upon a time. I have struggled with my weight for a long time. My goal is simple- to get back down to the 140 lbs I used to weigh. I am highly motivated to get this done and I will continue on my journey until I have reached my goal. Well I was meeting with a trainer at the gym…

How am I supposed to log my treadmill workout on here when my speed was all over the place?
Ok so I run on the treadmill for an hour. The problem is my speed is all over the place. Yesterday when I ran on the treadmill it said that I burned around 700 calories. Before my workout I simply entered my weight on the screen. Throughout my workout I would check my heart rate on the treadmill from time to time. I might…

Successfully completed day 2 of C25K but I feel like my legs are going to fall off now
I workout all the time however I just am not much of a runner but I would love to be able to run. I decided to download that couch to 5k app on my phone or as people call it the C25K. I knew when I started yesterday that it isn't going to be easy but if I work hard at it I can adjust and become a good runner at some point.…

It says no added sugar but on the back it shows that there is sugar why is this?
I guess I am confused on being able to read the labels on things. I went to the grocery store today and saw one of those Naked fruit smoothies in the fridge section of the store. Now the front of the label says "no added sugar" but when I read the back it says right there "sugars: 26 g" so that would tell me that there are…

30 day shred wasn't tough enough so what now?
Yea so you know the 30 day shred workout video by Jillian Michaels? Well I did it. Yes I did lose 20 lbs like the DVD claims but it took me a good 3 months (not 30 days) of pushing myself to get it done. I do the 30 day shred everyday and I barely break a sweat no matter how hard I workout at the videos. I am looking for a…

How is it possible that both scales are showing a completely different number?
I went to my doctors office today for my appointment and they weighed me in at 201 lbs. This is not possible considering the fact that my bathroom scale says I weigh 190 lbs. The scale at the doctors office was off by 11 lbs. I asked the assistant if the scale was accurate or perhaps not working properly but she said it…

Working out even though I feel sick... Is this ok?
I had to call out of work today because I had a very bad sore throat and cold like symptoms. I did not want to get out of bed this morning but I did although I slept in a bit more then usual. They already said on the weather that it should start snowing soon. Thanksgiving hasn't even gone by and we are already talking…

One big mac from McDonald's contains less calories then 1 sub from Subway
Wait did I read this right?? Appatently so. How is that even possible? Here I thought choosing subway as an alternative for when I'm in a rush on the go was a healthier alternative but I guess not. I haven't had any fast food except for subway in over a year now. What would you describe as a healthier alternative for when…

It's killing me here I just can't take this anymore. I have hit rock bottom. 1 month going on 2 months of solid 1 hour workouts each and everyday and you mean to tell me I have not lost weight or not that much? I eat so much salads and vegetables everyday you might as well call me a vegetable itself! Today (well yesterday…

Yesterday the scale said I weighed 207 lbs today it says I weigh 200 lbs how is this possible?
This is so strange. The scale says I weighed 207 lbs. Yesterday I weighed myself right after I did my workout and then I had a salad for dinner. Now today out of the blue I was curious to see if perhaps I had lost anything so I weighed myself again and it shows I dropped 7 lbs just like that. The scale cannot be broken…

Still feeling sore after yesterday's work out is this ok?
It's been a long time since I did the 30 day shred by Jillian Michaels but I decided to get back up and try it and this workout is intense. The thing is I started back up again yesterday with level 1 and even that was a lot for me. By the time I was done I could barely move I felt as if someone had worn me out all my…

Lost tons of weight then gained it all back I feel terrible
It's been a hard couple of months for me. I had lost all this weight. When I was a teenager I used to weigh 140 lbs and I was happy with this but the usual stress and other factors growing up led to weight gain and before I knew it I was pushing close to 200 lbs. I currently weigh in at 210 and I am 25 years old. I worked…

feeling nauseous after working out
Why is this? I drink tons of water before, during, and after my workouts so if anything some people might say I drink too much water I don't think it could be lack of water since I don't feel dehydrated but correct me if I am wrong. Everything has been going fine for the past couple of months of me working out that is…

The double chin is my worst nightmare.....
The thing is people take selfies a lot these days for instagram and facebook. But when I get up in the morning and whip out my phone I sometimes attempt the selfie myself. Of course once I take the picture and see this double chin I have the first thing I do is hit the trash icon to delete the photo at once. I mean there…

Why does it feel like someone beat me up after I work out?
Seriously it feels as if someone beat me to a pulp. I thought working out was supposed to make you feel good after? Well that is not the case for me. I have lost 25 lbs and feel good about myself so far but even in then when I am done working out I feel like I had to drag myself through the workout. My muscles are sore and…

Feeling hungry after a workout- Anyone else feel this?
Why is it that working out makes me feel like I am starving myself? All I do is work out and make sure to drink plenty of water during. I could be fine before I start but by the time I am done working out my stomach is growling and I feel like I could eat everything in the fridge from how hungry I get but I don't know why…

Today I ran outside for an hour in 9 degree weather
Yes that's right your eyes do not deceive you. What you have read is correct. Over the past few days we had a big snowstorm that hit us for 2 days and it would not stop snowing for 2 days straight. I'm only about 45 minutes away from New York City. But do you think I am going to let a 9 degree cold weather stop me from…

What to do when the pizza place is right across the street?
I can literally take a walk outside of my apartment and the pizza place is right across the street from where I live. It takes me about 60 seconds to cross the street from my apartment door to the pizza place. What makes this scenario worse is that right next door is a Chinese take out place! So here I am minding my own…

Hello everyone. My name is John but people who know me call me Johnny. I am a 24 year old college student who comes on a mission.
