Hi, everyone. I am Ashley and I am 28. I have been running inconsistently for a couple months and I am hoping to make it a habit. I started running with my husband while I was on break from school and we have both quit running since.

Does that mean my city's water is no longer water because they add chemicals, like flouride, to it?

I rarely track my foods because I only go over my calories if I go out to eat twice a day, but I always look for red on the protein. With a goal of building muscle, this is necessary. Protein is actually a good thing. It allows you to build and retain muscles during and after exercise. Fat, sodium, carbs, and other such…

By summer, I would like to have found workouts that do not make my headaches worse. It will probably result in preventive medicine more than anything, but I want to start exercising again.

Keep going, because it is worth it! Have you noticed a difference in your strength? If so, it is very likely you have gained muscle, which weighs more than fat, so that may be the reason the scale isn't moving. A suggestion: vary your routine and do not stick to a set schedule. Your muscles will become used to your…

I have not lost any weight since I've started working out (don't pay attention to my profile. I used a bad scale and I can't figure out how to get it to where it says I haven't lost weight), but I can FEEL the difference in my body. My arms, shoulders, and back are more defined and lifting it much easier. Not to mention,…

I just finished day 8 of the Supreme 90 Day workout and I love the program. I think I will actually make it to the 90th day with this one. It's challenging and it uses muscle confusion. I've already had results on the annoying muffin tops. They're going away rather quickly! There's even a nutritional part of the challenge,…

I generally listen to Spanish pop/rock, but I do have a mix of Spanish and English music. I'm a little odd. These are a few of the people/bands I listen to, but generally just the upbeat songs for exercise. Neon Trees David Bisbal Bruno Mars Bon Jovi Train R.E.M Mana Mago de Oz (they have very fast tempo songs that are…

I don't generally count cleaning as an exercise, but I might in a situation such as yours. I remember late last month when I was getting the house ready for my older daughter's birthday party, which included taking down the Christmas tree and all kinds of stuff. I think it would be acceptable to put it down for a bigger…

If you want to stay with him and he wants to stay with you, both of you will find a way to make it work. That being said, don't let him make hurtful comments towards you just because he feels like it. You have to stand your ground, and each person, and couple, is different. If my boyfriend said something like that to me, I…

My total for today is 8071. I was only aiming for 7000, so it's pretty good. I'm upping my goal for tomorrow, though.

I did the full 75 and I'm feeling it. I think I'll just do a little strength training and then call it good for tonight.

My goals for 2013 are to spend more time with the kids, keep up my grades (all As six classes in!), and to feel stronger by the end of the year. I don't care if I lose weight or if I look a certain way. It's all in how I feel. I want the confidence and the strength, and that's what I am aiming for.

I think it really depends on the individual. You could try each and see what works for you. My kids don't really let my do much of anything in the day without standing directly behind my rowing machine or wanting to be held so I exercise right after I put them to bed at 8 PM. I don't usually sleep until midnight so I still…

I'm going to aim for 7,000 steps tomorrow as I live a very sedentary life and see where I am at the end of the day. If it's fairly easy to reach, I'm raising it. If it's difficult...good! I'll have a better idea after tomorrow.

It really depends on you. I just started exercising about a month ago and I knew walking would be an end to it before beginning (I find it boring, personally, and walking with two kids is just frustrating), so I just looked on Craigslist to see what I could find equipment-wise. I found an older model rowing machine and…

This is going to be my first challenge and I'm just starting, so I'm going to go for the 180 minute goal starting this week.

I'll do them if it takes me all day. Chest congestion makes it so hard to breath!

My reward will be to feel strong.

Hi! I'm 23 and a college student/stay-at-home mom. Anyone can add me!

Hi! I'm pansexual and currently with my long-term boyfriend and I have two kids with him. Feel free to add me!

Hi! My younger daughter is already two, but feel free to add me! I only started exercising about 3 weeks ago.

Congratulations! You can tell a difference, and I know it's hard to start watching what you eat so soon after giving birth. That was the last thing on my mind after I gave birth!

Hey, I'm 23 and a freshman in college (I just started this past April). I may or may not be what you have in mind as far as friends go on this site because I am also a mom to two kids, but feel free to add me! I'm a terrible cook but I can offer support. I actually go to college online so my main issue is that I live a…

Don't let it discourage you! After all, you are the one that needs to be happy with yourself. It shouldn't matter what other people think. Tell people that you are happy with how you look and feel. Confidence is a huge factor in these discussions. As long as you have the confidence you need, people will generally leave you…
