I just CANNOT do a proper squat
I've watched endless videos on form, foot placement, etc., but when I put my feet shoulder width apart and try to go anywhere near parallel or below parallel (looking for glute activation here), I completely lose my balance and have to hold on to something, and I can tell however lightly I place my hand against a door or…

Is this true about butts?
I've always had a full backside, but before that was because it was all butt-pudge. Never the less, it was still round but I wanted to see less cellulite and whatnot. I expected that eventually I'd end up with one of those big round butts that you see on instagram all the time, except I noticed mine was getting flatter…

What's your favorite "healthy" cereal? Just curious.
I know cereal isn't best for weight loss, but I only eat a cup with skim milk and its not even every day so I don't feel too bad indulging..I recently got the fiber one 80 calories chocolate cereal and I have found that it's more cocoa flavored than sugar flavored, which I like because i don't feel as guilty, lol. What's…

I can't do V ups?
I don't know what it is about them, I can't do them. I can do the 45 degree angle ones, where the legs aren't anywhere near almost vertical, but the hardcore ones where people pretty much fold themselves in half, I can't even do one of those. Any tips? I've seen them done many different ways and I'm sure theres no set…

Looking for something sweet (but not unhealthy) to bake right now?
I've got a bit of a sweet tooth and I'm a night owl, so just going to bed to avoid it is kinda out of the question. Is there something I could whip up right now that won't kill me in calories? I could probably only eat about 200 more tonight before risking not being in a decent deficit anymore for the day. Any suggestions?…

Mid-way progress success story (pics)..
I'm about halfway to where I want to be right now, and I've lost the majority of the weight I need to lose (only a few pounds to go!) but even after that I've got a lot of muscle I need to gain to be where I want to be at, so I'd figure I'm about midway through my journey to a more ideal body type. Which makes me want to…

P90x..Thinking about doing it. Thoughts? Experiences?
I'm wondering...How hard is p90x? Can anyone do it? I've heard horror tales of how difficult it is, and I think I could push myself, but I'm not much of an endurance exerciser. Most of my weight lifting is with more weight less reps, and I can't run more than 2 miles on a 6mph speed without feeling like I'm going to pass…

Got a bad cold, should I go back to the gym yet?
I started feeling severely under the weather about 3-4 days ago(head cold), and as a result I've been eating more since I wasn't going to work and basically just sat around all day wheezing in misery and eating to console myself. (Yeah, its as pathetic as it sounds) but tomorrow I'm going back to work and I'm wanting to…

Any closet nerds? :)
I'm always looking for new people to talk to, so are there any closet (or not so closet if you're like me) nerds? Lovers of video games, super heroes, star wars, lord of the rings, anime, etc, anything along those lines? Post or message me if you share any of those interests. I'd love to chat sometime.

Females: Did this make you insecure when you lost weight?
Ever since I dropped a ton of weight, my chest got a good deal smaller. It's kinda disheartening because while I like how I feel and am working towards a goal of what I want my body to look like, I can't help but wonder if I would rather be chubby and still have a bigger chest. Anyone know how I'm feeling? & how did you…

I had an (unexpected) cheat day today...
Due to some emotional stress, I found myself just going kinda crazy and eating things I shouldn't have. Thus far I've been in a caloric deficit for this week (my current deficit for the week is 2220) but today I went overboard and ate about 1500 calories. I'm 5'5, 18, and weigh 120. How much is this going to effect me?…

Took a long break from exercise, how to get back into it?
I didn't exercise at all really for the last 3 weeks, only a few days here and there, but I stayed pretty true to my diet all that time. I weigh 115 instead of 116 (what I was 3 weeks ago at the end of my exercising) now, but I'm still finding it hard to start exercising again. Everything that used to be doable to me, now…

Fell off the wagon a week ago--Help!
About a week ago I completely stopped exercising and dieting. Today I realized I'm undoing all my hard work that I spent months on... How do I get back into only eating healthy and exercising daily again? The thought of eating like a rabbit again makes me cringe, but I need to do this for myself. Any suggestions for how to…

Slimming down everywhere--Except my butt?
I've lost a lot of weight in the last few months, and despite my constant exercise (and the increase of difficulty in it every day) and eating right, my butt fat will just not go away. I keep losing little bits of weight in my thighs, and my stomach is almost completely flat, but my butt is just not letting go. I do a lot…

Hedging a late night snack--Should I or shouldn't I?
It's currently very late where I live, and I'm a bit of a night owl. I anticipate sleeping within an hour, but I'm feeling slight hunger pangs. I know I'm currently far below my daily calorie limit, but would eating this late still hurt me even if it's just a little bit and I'm about 700 calories below what I should be for…

Any before and after pictures you'd like to share?
I was looking back at pictures of myself from two months ago before I started losing weight, and while I'm not quite ready to share my old self, as I haven't reached my goal yet, I'd still love to see other people's before/afters. Even if it's still a WIP. :D

Eating canned soup--Bad or good idea?
Every now and then I like to buy a healthy-request Campbells soup, preferably one with lots of vegetables, and I measure out the serving (2 servings per can) save one in the fridge and have one. The calories are low, 70-120 per serving depending on what kind I buy... My question is, is the soup bad for me? I would guess…

New here, and have a question. :)
I just made my account today right before I started my workout, because I realized how often I have little questions that I'd like opinions on/answers to regarding healthy eating and exercise... Anyways, I joined and asked for some opinions on a board, but now I'm fiddling around with the profile and I was curious... Do…

Fridge is low-Which of these would be the best post-workout?
I'm a little lacking in the food department right now, which thing (or which combination of things) would be the best for a post-cardio workout? -Almonds -Raisins -Plain Oatmeal -Turkey dog (no bun, no condiments, just the dog itself) -Plain Turkey Slices (Again, no bread because calories)
