Massage
I'm a 57 year old female, married, mother of 3 children all in their 50th & 7 grandchildren. I exercise & have learned that balance exercises are essential for me.

CPAP users
Hey everyone I just got diagnosed with moderate sleep apnea and just got my machine today. It's super quiet. But I just wanted to know how long did it take you to get use to it? Like I can sleep with it, I just get disturbed by rolling on the hose or when I go on my side the mask moving etc. And any pros besides not dying…

Snoring and weight loss?
Has anyone successfully stopped snoring after weight loss? I just got my results back from my sleep study and I snore terribly all night, but wasn't diagnosed with sleep apnea.

Sleep -_-;
For some reason, I'm only able to sleep 4 hours at a time. I feel pretty well rested when I wake up but should I still go to the gym since I didnt get a full night of sleep? I would maybe get another hour of sleep afterwards.

Living with ADHD
Hello one and all I was searching here for some support with ADHD and could not find many active groups. That led me to start one of my own, my vision is to see the group grow into a place for people who directly have ADD/ADHD or have a family member with it; come to share support, and information they have. I posted a…

Salicylates? ADHD?
My GP gave me this very old list of foods to avoid in trying to calm down ADHD/Anxiety symptoms. (I know it's very old because the letterhead is from his other practice 10 years ago) Anyway, I do trust his methods, I just haven't been to him in years and have ignored my mental health. Now it's begun tampering with all…

Sleep
How do you make sure you get enough sleep for you? Honestly, sleeping 8 hours (and making that really high quality sleep) is necessary for losing weight for me. I think some of my past attempts were thwarted when I tried to sacrifice sleep for workouts, or when I went to bed late after staying up meal prepping, etc. Now…

Anyone else here dealing with PTSD?
Hi everyone, so I'm really still near the beginning of my weight loss journey. My starting (max) weight was about 160-162 lb, I'm now fluctuating between 156-157, and my initial goal is 140 lb (after that, I hope to go down to 125-130, but I'll re-assess when I get to 140). My problem is that I'm suffering from PTSD, and…

ADHD and Dieting
Do any of y'all have ADHD? Do you have access to stimulants to treat it? If so, how have they affected or not affected your weight loss journey? For me, it's a blessing and a curse to take my meds.
