Who has had to completely give up alcohol for weight loss?
Have any of you had to stop drinking alcohol completely to reach your fitness goal? If so, how did that change your social life - if at all? Originally I only drank over the weekends. Then I reduced it to one night only. Now I see I can not have it at all. The wine its self is an issue (its so calorically dense) but the…

Fat placement in your 30's vs your 20's
I was chubby through my teens and into my early 20's, then became a fitness instructor and maintained a fairly to very lean physique for years. In the last year I put on 15lbs. What I realized is that the fat isn't going to the places it went before. In my 20's the fat went to inner thigh and outer thigh, hip pads and abs.…

Building a Butt with heavy weight training like Heidi Sommers, Nikki Blackketter?
Is anyone following the type of training these ladies are promoting? I just discovered these ladies and their whole muscle isolation programs. I have been a cardio queen for years but these two have got me taking a second look at heavy weight training. I loved weight training in my early 20's but dropped it because I…

TURBOKICK LIVE CLASS
Hi All~ I am renewing my TK certification on the 20th after many years away teaching other formats. I attended a class last week for the first time in years and it seemed different than I remembered. I know the instructor makes all the difference but this class felt FRANTIC. It was less dancey and personal than I…

Where are all the I.F.ers at?
Hello community, I recently started practicing I.F. and I am enjoying the process of figuring it out, not to mention finally being able to stick with my deficit. I have started with the aim of a 12pm-8pm eating window and would eventually like to shorten the window to 2pm-8pm or so. Today is my 4th day. I have been able to…

Brooke Castillo "The Life/Weight Coach" podcast listeners??
Hello all, I am a huge fan of Brooke Castillo and her "Model" for solving the mental game that comes along with weightloss. As so many of us know, the mental game is where most of us get caught up. Are there any other Brook fans in here? I would love to connect with you!

Santa Barbara? Ventura? SLO? Thousand Oaks?
Is there anyone here within a 50 mile radius of me? ;) I am in SB and would love someone within the same time zone to team up with for 60 days or so. Hopefully I am not the only central Californian in here! :p

Anyone here do Dance Cardio primarily?
I am looking for other people that use dance as their primary form of cardio? I know that HIIT and interval training, boot camp type stuff, ect is the main deal these days because you can be deliberate about your training. That said, I just love to dance - and I really love 80's style dance cardio! Tracy Anderson, Body by…

Someone PLEASE explain why the last 10lbs are harder then the first?
My mind can't wrap it's self around this concept lately. I'm beginning to believe it is more of a psychological issue then physical - at least in my case. If it's calories in vs. out, which I believe that it is, why are the last 10lbs so diffucult? Sure, you may weigh less so you burn less, and you may have adapted to your…

HOW did you quit your horrible SNACKING habit?
Hi again! Being committed to logging all my food the last weeks has really opened my eyes about my eating habits. It is literally BLOWING MY MIND as to how often I eat unscheduled!!! I wake up in the morning and remember all the bites of this and that that I did not log the day before - It is NO WONDER to me now why I have…

Pre-logging entire food day vs log at end of day?
First off, I want to just say HELL YEAH to all the successes on this site. I have been a member of a few tracking sites and it seems like this one has more people actually accomplishing goals and making progress compared to the others. I have gained so much PRACTICAL AND APPLYABLE knowledge from reading the forums the last…

Getting below 20% BF - do you HAVE to eat "Clean"?
I did a little search and have not found a similar topic on my own so I am posting the question. For the women who have gone bellow 20%BF (and the men who have gone below....10%BF I guess), did you eventually have to "clean up" your diet to get there? Or was staying in a consistent deficit the thing that got you there?…

Take longer than you thought for problem areas to fade?
I am just curious. Did you end up having to be further along your weight loss journey then you originally planned to finally tap into some of those pesky areas? I, like many females, hold poundage in the thighs and booty. They have come a long way since I have increased and changed the type of strength training I do. In my…
