I've had my bm for about 6 months. I'll be honest and say I've always been a tad skeptical of the readings but after reading so many posts on here about it's accuracy I finally decided to trust it and eat closer to the tdee reading in hopes of breaking a plateau. I just decided this, a week ago so...

Is this ok to eat? I love this cereal but im not sure how good it is for you.

I just wanted to say thank you to the ladies who have been so helpful to me these last few weeks. I have learned more from you all in the last few weeks than I have in my entire life. Your advice has not gone unused. I ordered the books recommended, started eating a legitimate amount of...

How should I look? is it okay to still be carrying some fat in trouble spots? I'm leaning out nicely but I'm scared it's not fast enough. can someone tell me what a figure competitor at 11 weeks out should look like

I've searched and read every cellulite post I could find. :o I understand the best way to reduce the appearance of cellulite in your legs/butt region is to lift heavy. That I need to build a better muscle base underneath and reduce my overall fat. I have seen some positive results so far and I...

Can you share your favorite on-the-go meal? I'm a working mom with a very busy schedule. For example, tomorrow I will rush home from work to take my son to baseball practice. Thursday I will rush home from with to take my daughter to dance class, then leave there and rush to the ball field for...

Ive recently been on a minivacay and lost some control over my eating habits. I ended up gaining a few pounds and i ended up becoming bloated. Im giving myself 5 weeks (im in college so im giving myself until the school year ends) to lose what I've gained (10lbs of bloat and fat). Realistically...

Hey ladies, looking for a few opinions and hopefully a bit of advice from those who may have made the same mistake. Will keep the backstory short, but if you can imagine some tiny violins playing in the background that would be great. I've been on Weight Watchers for over 6 years, I didn't have...

So I'm reading through the thread about calorie/macro requirements, and I have a question. I'm figuring out my calculations for my calorie needs, but I'm confused about the activity factor. If I'm figuring activity level into my needs, should that be my calorie limit regardless of activity? Or...

Stumbled across this: http://fitmamatraining.com/what-i-really-look-like-a-perfectly-healthy-body-in-more-and-less-flattering-photos/ Who can relate to this? I certainly can.

Hey everyone! I was a fitness freak for years. With that said in the last 5 years my son has been very ill to Crohns Disease. Not to make excuses life has taken a detour from my health and fitness. I have gone from 128 lbs to a sad 174lbs. I'm so stuck I don't even know where to begin. I have...

Anything at all as far as exercises to help trim the fat here? My nutrition is spot on.. Have built lots of muscle on quads and glutes... But the saddle bag area and inner thigh just stay the same no matter how good my diet is.. Cardio is 4 times a week for 45 minutes.. And I lift 4 days a week.....

So I started NWOLW (?) 4 weeks ago and feel like I'm pushing it every time. I'm doing it 2x a week due to my busy schedule. I also teach 4-5 cardio based classes each week. There is some lifting involved, but not super heavy weights. I do HIIT and tabata in my classes rather than steady state...

Okay so say (theortically) you weigh 150lbs, then manage to gain 10lbs of pure muscle and no fat - so now you weigh 160lbs- Do you look bigger or smaller? When you gain muscle do your muscles increase in size so that overall you look bigger overall, or do you muscles become denser too? Just...

I keep reading on the all knowing interwebz that sleep is very important when it comes to fitness. Seems legit, but sleep is not something I get much of (new baby). So my question is this, would a nap during the day make up for a lack of sleep at night? Is it quality or quantity I should be looking...

I have gained a lot of muscle in my thigh and butt area in the past year. It looks great, but I haven't been able to find any jeans that fit an athletic body well. Every single pair of jeans that fit my waist perfectly (size 0 or 24) can't make it past my thighs or butt or are just too...

Hey Everyone, My name is Jessica. I am 22 and looking to start living a healthier lifestyle to feeling confident, happy and sexy again. The only time I have ever felt emotionally stable, happy and confident is when I was working out regularly and eating better. Then I stopped. I went from 190...
