Just looked up the FitBit Surge, and it looks awesome as well! I think I scrolled away from it at first because the price scared me away, lol. FitBit Blaze seems like a good option that's kind of between the one I was looking at and the one you have. I'll definitely keep researching to make sure I make the right choice. :)

Hi there. :) Sorry to hear you're struggling. I have severe depression and anxiety as well. For a few years, I was in and out of hospitals because of suicidal thoughts, and even one serious attempt to take my own life. I've been in therapy for awhile and was on high doses of antidepressants and anti-anxiety meds. I'm doing…

I love this question! I live in NYC, and since it's such a diverse city, I've seen every shape and size imaginable. But with that said, there is definitely a HUGE culture around diet and fitness, particularly in the more wealthy areas, like the part of Queens where I'm from, and of course Manhattan. Brooklyn is getting…

Thank you so much! Glad you understand the winter struggle, lol. I'll definitely look into the yoga vids on YouTube, I only have two yoga DVDs and I'm a little bored with them, so a new routine would be lovely. :) And I'll add you as soon I post this!

This clearly is more about you and what you think defines dedication than it is about my OP. I've just started attempting to eat healthier and create a workout routine in the last couple of days. This is all very new, and I only mentioned the bad weather because even when I ran more consistently years ago, it was almost…

Wow, now that's dedication! :) Stairs sound like a good idea. I live on the 1st floor (lucky me, lol), but that doesn't mean I can't walk/run up the flights outside my door. There's a gym that's very close to home, maybe two blocks, but it has bad reviews both online and from people I know who have gone there. In addition…

You're talking about the last week. Were you here when we had a blizzard last month, or when the temperature dropped to literally 1 degree??? Because I live in Queens, and it genuinely was that cold. If you can run in that kind of weather it's great, but I prefer not to. :)

Thank you so much! One of these articles I had heard of from the last time I was here, but the other two are new, and all of them are super helpful! :)

Hi there. I'm sorry to hear you're going through this. I too suffer from depression, and in addition to that deal with horrible anxiety. I think my depressive episodes were a huge contributing factor to my weight gain. The emotional strain I was under made me lose interest in my old hobbies, including exercising, and also…
