So many health issues since losing weight - I want to be 250 again
I've lost about 50 pounds and 70 pounds overall. Since then I've had a slew of health issues that it's so disappointing to have lost all that weight.

Ever feel famished on strength days?
Ever feel like your famished? I am totally blowing my allotment for today because of it. I've eaten all healthy foods luckily. I just finished off a smoothie of oats, almond milk, Chia seeds, yogurt, and strawberries. I had a handful of cashews earlier that didn't help. I sure hope this does the trick. I think I am seeing…

I figured I'd go 5 minutes max because I usually get…

Personal Wellness Coach?
With my last company we had access to a personal wellness coach. He'd check up on me and we'd set goals. I could ask health and fitness questions. I loved the guy I worked with. I'd like to find someone like, someone that I could touch base with every week. Does that sort of thing exist outside of companies? Any…

Looking for friends that are motivating and serious
I have reached a point in my life where I need to lose 60-70 pounds. With my health issues my life depends on it. I have already made progress and my doctor has cut my meds. Unfortunately one of my meds caused my heart rate to drop well into the 40s. Not good and I have got to get off these meds. I have had friends over…
