I'm back from my conference and it wasn't so bad. Miami is definitely a lot. I live In a little coastal town so the tourist presence was a bit overwhelming but it was cool to visit. I walked a ALOT and got into the gym basically everyday but one because I was feeling depressed. @CeeBeeSlim The beach pilates was great. I'm…

I never heard of a Schutzhund club before. I had to google it lol I hope that works out for your doggo. I'm still waiting to get a house before I get a pet. I couldn't stand to keep them in the house all the time. I'm also not sure what bred to get. I run a lot so I need a little road runner puppy. Also @HoneyBadger302 I'm…

Hey everyone, Made it through my first week and weighed myself. I'm a bit worried about my scale. It says I lost 9.0 lbs in like 4 days which can't be right. I think it just read high initially because I weighed myself after eating and drinking a ton of water. Regardless, I'm 134.7 lbs according to my Garmin S2 scale. I'm…

@HoneyBadger302 Welcome back. I'm sure you will reach your goal. I'm also getting back on the band wagon as well. Can't wait to see what you get into. Riding Motorcycles seems so cool. Congrats on the house and the doggo

@Cora0477 Thank you so much. Congrats on reaching the 135 lb. That's a great accomplishment @CeeBeeSlim Thank you too! Kudos on dancing your way to 10K steps. That's really good. I usually end up doing 10K steps at my job on a good day. I need to track my steps a bit more closely. I'm curious about pilates. Is that similar…

I'd like to join. I'm 29 years old. I'm 5'7 and 142.8 lbs. I've been having some pretty tough relationship stuff in my life and I've really gotten away from my goals. Most of last year all I did was work, come home crawl into bed and sleep. I ate a lot of take out and I'm so over being sad all the time. I need to lose…

I think this new year will be great for you too! I'm getting back on the band wagon after dealing with a lot of heavy relationship issues, I'm focusing on myself, and getting back to where I Want to be. Lets chat and stuff. I like running but I'd love to have someone to talk to as I do this

I’m open to new friends too!!

Hey! Good for you for taking it on yourself yo get healthy. I think getting older sneaks up on us when we are in our late twenties early 30s. Just gotta stat active. Use it or lose it is real. I recommend starting with looking at your nutrition and what you eat and picking some exercises you enjoy. I’m fairly active, but…

Half an hour run. Followed up by an hour long long boarding expedition. Great way to start the day and it’s not even noon yet!!

@sardelsa I'm so jealous!!! That sounds amazing. Are you English? Only my English side of the family of the family does Boxing Day. I'd get so fat if we did an Italian seafood dinner for Christmas. I wouldn't regret it. That sound so exciting. You should upload pictures of the food you eat. Oh wait if your thanksgiving was…

@mom23mangos Thanks so much for the tip! I really appreciate it. So I'm dying to know what's everyone doing for the holidays? @VictoriaTuel @sardelsa @xelsoo ??? Big plans?

@mom23mangos Wow! What a great tip! I'll really look into that. Do you know where their new manufacturing site is located? My current job has a less than Stella osha record and everyone really hates it here. Idk I only thought conditions this bad only existed in movies. I really don't know what to do. I'll definitely be…

@VictoriaTuel Thank you for the insight. I'm already getting better at working out super early. I'm sure it will take time to adjust. I got in a car accident the second day I started my new job. An elderly man hit me. It wasn't a bad wreck, slow and I wasn't moving. It just scared me and I needed to get a new car…

@VictoriaTuel I know I'm late on the congrats but that's amazing you did your first 5k!!!! What an accomplishment. I've been AWOL for so long with the moving, new job, car accident and everything but it's so great to see all the great conversations and motivations in this tread. I gotta get back into it. The transition…

Hey everyone!!! I feel like I've missed a lot between moving and staring my first job. What did I miss? Seems heated in here?

@ivyivy Welcome!! It's so nice to have you join our little conversation. I hope we can provide you with great insight, advice, and companionship as you go on your journey. Don't feel bad for "falling off the wagon." Life happens and rarely any of us are perfect. I'm also a dancer. I do ballet so I understand the struggle…

@sardelsa I think you may be correct. I'll try to eat more but it's been hard. I wonder if being on that 1200 calories a day for like three months made my tummy smaller. I just don't eat as much as I used to. My sister took me to Korean BBQ yesterday so I'm gonna focus on turning all that steak I ate into something useful.…

@sardelsa @swimgal258 I may be underestimating how much I'm burning. Since I got my apple watch I've been using it to determine how much I've been burning off. I usually used the heart rate monitor on the treadmill to see how I was doing. The apple watch is usually about 200 calories lower than the heart rate monitor on…

Oh wow you have great measurements. They are almost exactly like mine except I'm 34,24,34. I feel you about being short I'm 5'5 but that's why heels and wedges can be anyone's best friend. It is important for us to appreciate what we have while we are young but it's still okay to have goals and push yourself. But Idk what…

I feel the pain but I get it. When I get a major headache or sick I'm always completely out of commission and spend a lot of time sleeping away my agony. I always lose about 2 lbs everytime I get sick.

Hey, everyone! @dubstepvideobody and @sardelsa I've missed you guys so much! Also, hello to all the new faces! It so great to see this thread thriving. Relocation has been totally crazy. I'm up and on the move all day long with meetings, movers, and helping my friends get back into their dorms. I'm dead tired. I have been…

@JeepHair77 You sound adorable. There is no such thing (in my mind) about dressing too young or old. I really hate it when people have that mindset. It's like they expect everyone who is older to be balancing checkbooks, fighting with their kids and drinking red wine alone every night. You do what you like and wear what…

I was about to write a post on this myself. I'm slimming down and need new clothes too. What is everyone's favorite brands or stores? I'm giving away a lot of clothes this weekend and I want to get nice new ones. What's everyone's typical style? I usually go for minimalist, feminine, tomboy for my daily style. I love…

@skymningen Bless you as you finish your long journey to the elusive PhD. I'm so proud of anyone who accomplishes that. I guess I do self-care a good. I work out most days of the week and eat properly. My weakness is actually sleeping. I like to get a lot of work done in the early hours of the morning so I get up early…

Hey guys! I'm in my final weeks of being an engineering student. I'm crunching through my senior design but that gives me less time to exercise or post. I'm doing good at tracking and maintaining my calories though so this shouldn't be a huge setback. Wish me luck on my Final projects everyone! Also @mom23mangos is totally…

@wellnesschaser I'm glad you like the idea and I hope it helps. Let me know how it goes. @VictoriaTuel After my vacation or when I eat crappy in general I usually kinda "detox" if you will. When I come home I take a day before I jump hardcore back into my exercise routine and kinda flush myself out using lots of liquids.…

@pjowkar Hey and Welcome. Scarlett Johansson is a great goal. She's totally gorgeous. Don't feel too bad about your height, so many of us here are members of the total shortie club! I think you have a great goal. I'm sure you will reach it.

@wellnesschaser I know how that feels. During the school year, my boyfriend comes over to study a lot and we make dinner together. He's on a regime to bulk up and needs to eat things differently than me. I too usually do the cooking (mostly because he can't cook worth a snit lol) and I found some easy ways around it. First…

@dubstepvideobody This is something I came up with initially on my own and I perfected the schedule with my nutritionist to make sure it was safe and pinpoint the nutrients I need to make sure I'm getting. I like structuring myself by the food groups because it gives me a lot of flexibility in which foods I can eat so I…
