90 pounds lost *with pics*
Starting weight: 270 Current weight: 180 So, thank you for checking my post out. I hope I don't make it too terribly long. I've had weight issues off and on for most of my life. I remember at a very young age (like 7) sneaking food in the middle of the night and hiding the evidence from my family. I witnessed my mom having…

Short background: I've lost 70 pounds in 3 years and I have overcome an ED. I have been doing strictly calorie restriction to lose weight for the last 6 months. I hit a plateau and I was…

Possible to lose 10 inches in 2.5 weeks?
Am I measuring incorrectly or is it possible to lose 10 inches in 2.5 weeks? I started doing HIIT 3 days a week with strength training and ab work 4 days a week. I am getting 12K steps a day, so I've started being a lot more active. I am under my calories every day, though my diet needs to be cleaned up on the sweets…

Month 1 of T25 Progress!
I committed to doing 5 T25 workouts a week for a month. During this time, I lost zero pounds, but the progress pictures are motivating to me! I started month 2 last night, and took measurements so I can look to those as well. I wanted to share because I get so discouraged when the scale doesn't budge, and had I not done…

Body frustration after pregnancy. Advice?
My daughter is 8 weeks old. Starting at 2 weeks post partum I started back into running, because I was active my whole pregnancy and my midwife okay'ed it. I only gained 18 pounds during my whole pregnancy. I'm running, doing T25, Pilates, getting at least 10,000 steps a day, eating 2000 calories a day, cutting back on…

Prenatal Pilates Success Stories?
One of the fitness DVDs I am alternating between is a Prenatal Pilates one. I did the exercises this morning, and could feel it in my muscles but wasn't getting my heart rate up really. Is that common for pilates? Has anyone had luck with pilates toning their body? I really want to work on strengthening my arms and back.

Pilates beneficial?
I'm pregnant and have had to go from the jillian michaels dvds to a mix of biking and fitness DVDs. I have a Pilates DVD and was wondering if anyone finds that it really does help with strengthening/toning? It's not super challenging like I'm used to with Jillian Michaels, which is why I'll do 30 minutes of Pilates with…

Need CHALLENGING prenatal dvd
I completed a triathlon at the end of July, and then I've slacked off doing hardly any exercise. I went to do the 30 day shred DVDs I was doing up until August, and I just couldn't do them.

I have a 500 yard, 12 mile bike, and 3.1 mile run triathlon this Saturday. The past two weeks I've done a test workout doing 500 yard swim, about 8 mile bike and a 3.1 mile run and have been doing just fine. Except I did all of this indoors.

Constantly fatigued
Was wondering if anyone else has this problem. I am currently training for a half marathon, going off a 16 week schedule as opposed to a 12 week since this is my first one. I am running 4 days a week (one day being HIIT), and also doing 30 day shred twice a week. I am still getting two rest days. I eat about 1500-1800…

Ladies: Can I please vent?
So I've been kicking butt, running and dong 30 day shred working out 5 days a week, and walking at work 3-5 miles a day. Eating healthy too. This week I ovulate and shot up 5 pounds. I am not sure if that's why, but I know it's not "true" weight gain. It is so frustrating that two weeks a month I gain weight. I'm on birth…

Treadmill Runners in the Winter - How do you do it?
Lately, I have been running on the treadmill and am wanting to do a half marathon later this year. I live in Illinois, in a place without sidewalks and our city doesn't salt or plow very well, so I don't feel comfortable running outside when it gets dark and it's icy/snowy.. I am getting bored on the treadmill though. For…

I got injured doing 30 day shred 6 weeks ago. I heard it pop and it gave out. It felt like I had no stability but a brace made a big difference.

I partially tore my ACL and MCL and didn't go to the doctor until I went running on it last Monday and it started to reallly hurt... and swell. My doctor prescribed me anti inflammatory and a 5 day steroid pack to stop the swelling. I was wondering if the steroids, though for only a few days, would cause weight gain?…

How long to run a 10K?
Hey all... I completed the Couch to 5k program and am running a 5k next weekend. I'm pacing a 9.3 or 10 minute mile right now which I am happy with as I've never been a runner before.
