Running After Injury
I just wanted to share this with a group I knew would be supportive and awesome. Two and a half years ago, I was in a serious car accident that crushed my right foot and ankle. Even two surgeries later, I was told my foot would never function the way it should and to expect limitations. Even simple things like lunges and…

Starting Over, Again :/
Is anybody here starting over too? I need a pep talk. If successful, this will be my third big weight loss, and it will definitely be the biggest. Both times I lost weight before, I eventually gained it back and then some. Even when I created lasting lifestyle changes, I still ended up reverting back to old, bad behaviors.…

After & Before - My Flip-Flopped Success Pics
Alright, I wasn't sure I was going to post this because, well it's kinda scary. My husband recently displayed his 45+ pound weight loss on Facebook and got some really great responses. I'm not brave enough for Facebook, but I guess I'll give this a shot. I didn't have a lot to lose, so losing it was even harder. It wasn't…

Severe knee pain, Phase 3
I have always had weak knees, but never any actual injuries. Even so, I've been very careful about my knees for this entire program. Last night I did Workout 10 for the first time (just starting Phase 3) and I'm in a ton of pain today. Not like a good, sore kind of pain, but a sharp, severe kind of pain. I'm a little…

Suggested Macros for JMBR
I'm about half way through JMBR (and love it, by the way), but I'm beginning to wonder if my macros are set correctly. I don't follow her diet plan, but just count calories on my own. I was using the MFP suggested 50/25/25 macros, but with all this strength training and HIIT, should I be eating more protein? I'm not…

New to eating more - is this really for me?
The concept of eating more calories in order to lose weight is one I've heard of before, but never seriously considered until this week. I'm taking it slow, trying to get as much info as I can, but basically what I want to know is if this is really something that will help me. I'm 5'6, ~135 pounds, 32 years old. I don't…
