  • I enjoy kickboxing classes but I don't like other group exercise classes. Maybe because I feel less pressure to keep up with the more athletic people and thus work at my own pace better? Or I like to see everyone suffering with me lol
  • My doctor and my dietician advised me against keto BUT I also have had some health issues. I was given a lower carb plan to follow but not keto. I think anyone/everyone should consult with a doctor/dietician before doing ANY diet. I have friends doing keto tho and they are very happy and healthy but they fit the target,…
  • Thank you! I'm excited to try. I've done light boxing and self defense while I was in the military and they was something cathartic about hitting stuff for me so I'm hoping this helps with a bit of stress I have trouble getting rid of.
  • Yes. I tend to fall into "Money I spend on myself, even in the pursuit for health takes away from my son". When I buy nuts I feel guilty because he can't even eat them so I'm buying them for myself. Almond flour? Me. Almond milk? Me. Shakes for weight loss. Def me. I suppose there has to be a bit of selfishness when trying…
  • Have you tried the hypnotherapy for deep sleep recordings? I respond well to a guy on youtube named Michael Seeley (?) I think. I tend to go straight from a state of trance to deep sleep according to my monitor. Also the best investment I made was my heart rate monitor. I couldn't afford a fitbit but there are plenty of…

I don't feel I get a "good" workout in that short amount of time but I suppose…
  • Nuts.com has great healthy-ish snacks. I think we got 120 individual snacks for around 100 bucks. You can look online at them. The guys here love them and are always asking me to get more
  • I want to not be embarrassed if my shirt ever lifts and my stomach is exposed. I want to be able to eat something once in a blue moon at a resteraunt that IS unhealthy and not have people think "no wonder she is fat". I just want to feel pretty again and have my son think I'm pretty again. Like I used to be.
  • I'm 41. While I love my family and friends, they only tell me I'm perfect the way I am and then offer to buy dinner so not a lot of weight support lol. I have 2 gym memberships (one was a gift and it's near my work while the other is near my house) and am trying to now go on my lunch hour since during summer I can't go…
  • I don't unless I go to the doctor or am bored in publix waiting for the pharmacy to open. I judge my progress by my mirror and clothes. I find i stay more motivated by needing smaller pants than a number.
