  • I went to the Crossfit Intro class on Saturday and absolutely fell in love with it!!! I'm signed up for the elements class which begins in two weeks. So excited! I would recommend this to anybody that is bored with long slogs on the treadmill, headphones, and zoning out at the gym. The exercises felt like playing and…
  • Thank you! I am going to my first intro Crossfit class tomorrow! A bunch of my coworkers go and there is a foundations program that you must complete before getting into the regular WODs. I'm super excited!
  • I am way addicted to candy too. I can't eat just a little bit of it, I have to have a vat of hot tamales or whatever. I am allergic to aspartame, which is what most sugar-free candy and beverages are made out of. I am totally convinced that aspartame is the worst thing you can put in your body, so don't switch to…
  • My whole life I have loved candy. All kinds: chewy starburst, crunchy jolly ranchers, spicy hot tamales, and chocolate. I was naturally thin until I turned 30, then things went to *kitten*. I can literally eat a dinner plate full of candy every day and have been fighting the results for a decade now. Breaking this lifelong…
  • I did a search on this topic and found this thread. I'm in the same boat and I'm terrified. My drinking is affecting my health, my exercise, my weight loss, and my relationship.

  • I have had back pain for 15 years, since my mid-twenties. I started doing yoga about 7 years ago and it changed my life. I was doing beginners and intermediate yoga about 5 or 6 days a week, and after 6 months, I realized that my back pain was totally gone. I was doing no other exercise at the time. I don't do it that…
  • I'm trying to reduce drinking for a while, but I have cheat events planned. I could never give it up, how the heck do you get through life without bourbon??
  • I tried to out-exercise a bad diet and gained 10 pounds of fat over an 8-month period of establishing an awesome workout routine. My body feels strong, but you can't see those beautiful muscles because double chili-dog lunches will sabotage all of your efforts. I learned this the hard way. You can't outrun Taco Bell. Using…
  • I have similar issues. I don't drink every night, and generally only on the weekend, but when I do, it is 4-6 drinks. 4 drinks really puts me into that drunk place where I'm going to have a hangover. So this is what I did to help myself: Get all of the booze out of your house. Do not buy any more, and do not allow your…
  • You look STRONG! Look at your arm muscles!
