Exhaustion level?
Recently I've been experimenting with how I feel after different levels of workouts. After my 20 minute easier workouts, I feel worked out yet not totally wiped out. After 30 minutes of intense stepping (non-stop high impact cardio) I feel extremely winded and my face will stay hot for up to 2 hours afterwards. It seems…

Anyone have results with reverse dieting?
I have just been reading a little about reverse dieting today, and wondered if anyone here has tried it with good results. The reason I looked into it was because the past few weeks I have not been eating my best, and I know I have gone over calorie allowance but I continued working out 3-4 days a week...and I LOST weight.…

Food dreams?
Does anyone else here have crazy dreams about food when restricting calories? Last night I dreamed almost all night that I was binging on everything I could find...and it's weird because I actually feel kinda satisfied in the morning lol. I wake up feeling guilty, but then happy when I realize it was only a dream? Just…

IdealShape shakes
So, Monday I am going to start using IdealShape shakes for breakfast and dinner, with a large protein packed lunch. Is anyone else currently using these or getting ready to start?

Just hanging in there...
So, over the past 3 1/2 months I have lost 30 pounds, I only ate cheat foods FOUR days out of that entire time and I am proud of that. But, now that I have 10-15 pounds left to go, I feel like I have totally stopped. I switched up my diet a bit, as well as adding HIIT workouts in to my exercise routine but I am still stuck…

Carbs in the morning?
So I recently switched back from a very low carb diet to a low calorie diet with more carbs. I was eating 2 boiled eggs for breakfast and never felt ravenous before lunch. Well, this morning I had Cream of Wheat Healthy Grain and I was STARVING by 10:00. I am wondering what is the best time of day to eat most of my carbs…

Anyone had real results with HIIT?
I'm just wondering if HIIT lives up to it's hype. I want to start doing shorter workouts that are more intense to save time and increase my muscle tone. I always read about how great it is from so called experts but never hear any actual people saying if it works that much better than just running a few miles at a steady…

The Firm Express Get Thin in 30
Has anyone tried this system? I am thinking about getting it, but I'm curious if the 20 minute work outs actually produce results that a 30-40 minute work out would so I am looking for people who have tried the system without adding on work outs. I am no stranger to exercise and don't mind working hard, there are just a…

Meal shake for breakfast or supper???
I just wanted to get everyone's opinion on this. I am going to start replacing a meal with a low-carb, high protein meal replacement shake each day. I work out after work, about 5:30, and eat supper once my appetite returns after exercise (around 7:00). I am just as hungry at breakfast as I am at supper, so I am conflicted…

I joined a few days ago...but....
I felt I should properly introduce myself. I plan on actually putting a profile picture up tonight, so I'm not that weird mystery shadow person just randomly posting ha! I am needing to lose my last 10-15 pounds (I don't weigh myself because it discourages me and sends me straight into a binge if I don't like what I see).…
