  • Running. I started a few years ago, but I'm very on again, off again, so I consider myself a perpetual beginner. I'm also ridiculously slow, but when I've stuck with it I've seen good improvements in speed. I'm starting over now & slower than ever, I think. But like cosmichvoyage I enjoy being able to see regular progress.…

  • I don't know where I first heard of HAES. I read some of the ideas in When Women Stop Hating Their Bodies years ago, but I don't think they used that term. I guess what brought me to it is years of trying & failing to lose weight. I would develop good behaviors, then drop them when I didn't get skinny doing them. I quit…

    in Anyone else have seizures during a work out? Comment by new_boots May 2014
  • I've been thinking about this, but don't know how to answer. I guess it depends on what I'm setting a goal for & where I'm starting. While I'm not focused on weight loss, when I set my account up I set it for losing 15# because that's what I am over my usual weight after spending the winter in an emotional slump sitting on…
