Chiropractor or no chiropractor
The first and last time I visited a 'back dr' was probably about 25 years ago. That night, I ended up in the emergency room and since then, have sworn off this type of healing. In the last year, I have had pain in my hip flexer (right in the middle of the very top of my leg) and when I walked longer than 20 minutes on the…

Mental illness and physical health
I'm wondering who else on here suffers from mental illness and how it has affected your fitness/weight loss journey? From a very young age I lived with depression, both my own and very close family members. Depression has had more influence over my life that I would like it to. Although it was always there causing chaos, I…

Has anyone tried yin yoga?
I'll be honest, I am in terrible physical shape right now. I used to be pretty active, but ever since I got a desk job that activity has gone right out the window. I know there's no excuse for it, but at the moment my muscles are so tight (particularly in my legs) that I can't even touch my toes easily. I read about how…

Chakra Healing with Reiki
Has anyone tried Reiki healing? I am having serious heart complications I think might be manifesting as a result of an unbalanced Anahata (Heart) Chakra. While I am seeing medical professionals, including a Cardiologist, I believe deeply in a connection of the Mind-Body-Spirit. I have had a few people from my yoga classes…

Not strictly weight loss related but I need some support. I have moderate depression and anxiety.

Snoring! How to stop it!
My brief google research has yielded a huge spectrum of answers from the "Take XYZ wonder pill to cure your snoring" to the pessimistic "nothing works, just deal with it." I know, in my case, the amount I snore is directly related to my weight. Below a certain weight, I don't snore. But what if you or a significant other…

I am a light sleeper so the smallest noise wakes me up. If I am exhausted, it doesn't bother me too much but at least 4 out 7 nights it does and when it is really bad I go to…

Sleeplessness, diet, and adhd and attitude
I have adhd. Or rather, there are times where adhd has me. I also have hypersensitivity and consider myself a highly sensitive person. Being adhd and an hsp doesn't bring me popularity; but I do my best to keep my disorderly conduct at bay. But this discussion is about diet, sleep, and how these two things affect people…

Sleep
I was just wondering how much sleep you generally get. All the fitness articles always say get enough sleep. So I am wondering how much sleep the adverage person gets. I have horrible sleep habits and should probably get to sleep sooner and wake up earlier than I do.

Chiropractors are miracle workers!
I do 10 min running 5x a week and had to stop when my knees started hurting. I went to the chiropractor and relief was immediate. If you have anything that hurts (i.e. neck, back, knees, ankles, etc.) and it's keeping you from exercising, GO TO THE CHIROPRACTOR!!!! You will feel so much better.

Eating at Night
My mother always gripes at me not to eat too late at night because it will make me fat. I'm on a weird schedule because of my SO's job, so I end up eating late on a regular basis. In fact, I generally don't eat much during the earlier end of the day. None of this seems to have affected my weight loss. What do you guys…
