Why do I swim so slowly?
Hey there, I started swimming two years ago, I was very active in the summer of 2017 but then as it got colder I went less. In 2018 I didn't swim nearly as much, but still a bit, and now in 2019 I'm swimming even more than in 2017 (been at it everyday for almost a month) and I swim AT LEAST 1 kilometer and up to 3…

Blood Sugar Crashes during walks
So for the past few months I've been getting what I believe is blood sugar crashes while I'm taking walks. I suddenly get really weak, my heart pounds like crazy, I sweat a lot, and I have to hurry home, but it's hard to walk fast when this happens. My legs feel like jello and I have to fight the urge to just sit on the…

Is it normal to feel this weak days after the flu?
Hey there, I got pretty sick last week, and so did my entire family. The doctor says it was likely the flu, and the symptoms match. I was exhausted, very weak and had to force myself to get up. We all had high fevers, intense sweating, bad cough and shivers. I also got really bad headaches and a sore throat. I felt like I…

I'm feeling so lost and trapped.
This is going to sound so stupid, I feel like I'm stupid for struggling like this. I've been struggling with this for months but this is the first time I'm talking about it. I just thought this was normal and that I shouldn't tell anyone about this but I now feel like I have to. I've been losing weight since May 2017, I've…

My family says I shouldn't lose more weight
Hey there, I've lost 28 kg so far (about 61 pounds I think) and I get lots of compliments saying that I look great and when I tell everyone how much I have lost they always look so shocked and start asking me what I did. Then I tell them, and I say "I still have 7 kg to lose, I'm almost done." (my target weight is 60 kg,…

Am I drinking too much water?
Hey there, I was just wondering, is drinking 3-4 liters of water everyday bad for me? I used to drink just 2 liters, but in the evenings I have found myself getting thirsty and filling my 2l water-bottle again. Does it flush out any vitamins and minerals I get from my diet perhaps, and is it normal that I get so thirsty in…

What would you say to your past self?
If you could time travel back when you were the most unhappy about your body, where you were at your unhealthiest, heaviest etc. what would you say to your past self? I'd say: "It's time to stop. You look like play-doh that has been left too long in the sun, got rained on and mud splattered on (I'm quoting a youtuber…

Why am I gaining weight from more nutritious food?

Scraped my knee and it stings a lot, can I still take a walk?
First time posting in the forums here, hope this is the right place for the subject matter. I was taking a walk just about 30 minutes ago and I tripped, causing me to scrape my knee quite a bit. It's not a very deep wound and it didn't bleed much but it does sting a lot. I went home and disinfected it and applied a bandage…
