What is the best way to just start having AF days?
I am doing well on managing my diet, other than wine. I commit to skipping it every day, but at 5:00, I cave in. My husband does not drink, which act makes it worse. And I also do worse at home than when I’m out. I would like to have at least 3 AF days/week. Would love suggestions! Thank you

How do you stay on track during grief?
I have Bipolar and am scared it will trigger a manic episode. I just found out my dad has cancer and we don't know how long he has left, whether it's months or years. I don't know if I need to be careful from now or wait until/ if he dies. I don't want to regain the 25kg or stop eating. He doesn't want that either. I don't…

Bucket List Trip
After beating breast cancer, my bucket list item has literally fallen in my lap. A trip to Europe. Unfortunately, because of the hormone blocker I'm on to keep the cancer at bay, also causes weight gain and swelling. It's a battle to be sure. The trip isn't until July, so I am doing what I can right now. Tracking my foods.…

In need of encouragement
I am nearly at my wit's end. I just need some encouragement, as I am losing motivation quickly. I'm the only person I know who is trying to gain weight, but I am middle aged, and I'm getting so much conflicting information about what someone in my position should do. Eat a ridiculous amount of calories and lift as heavy as…

Lacking Motivation and Support

When it comes to fitness, it’s not just about intense workouts or strict diets. Often, the small, consistent habits make the biggest difference over time, in both our bodies and minds.

Bleh, maintaining isn't maintaining anymore
I've been thinking about posting for a while now, but not quite sure what to say. Perhaps I'll just start with a few screenshots that show the heart of the issue... It started with: yay! But not so yay anymore, especially since December: Clothes are getting (too) tight and that really sets of alarm bells because I do NOT…
