Menopause
It sucks, right? In addition to hot flashes and mood swings, it seems much harder to lose weight. Or maybe it's just me? I also am carrying more weight above my bellybutton which I never had when I was younger. Any advice or exercises to get rid of that? I do Pilates every day and walk a minimum of 8000 steps. Thanks

Arthritis- meds??
Wasn't sure which board to post this in, so hope ok. I've had arthritis in my hands for years and now it's affecting my feet and ankles, making hiking and working out difficult. I've tried Aleve, which seems to do nothing. I'm cutting back on sugar, salt, alcohol, etc, but I'm not getting much relief. I don't do high…

Do I need a "rest"?
I do Pilates every day, and a friend told me I need a "rest" day in between, so should only be doing every other day. Pilates works the entire body and I always feel great afterward and not fatigued. There are some days I push myself a lot harder and will be sore the next day but I still do it daily. Should I listen to my…

Synthetic vitamins and supplements
A friend of mine started selling NuSkin products which include skin care, supplements, etc. She told me that I should only take "natural" vitamins and supplements because the synthetic type don't get absorbed and it's a waste of money. True?

I need an accountability partner!
I'm looking for someone (preferably female- as I would feel more comfortable) to be my partner. I"d like to share our food diaries, and be accountable every day. I need TOUGH LOVE- someone who isn't afraid to tell me the truth and be honest about my choices. I will do the same. A little about me- single woman (divorced),…

Do you plan or wing it?
This has probably been asked before, so please don't yell at me if so. :-) Do you plan your meals out each day or do you just wing it and add up the calories as you go? If you do plan, are you able to stick with your daily menu or do you sometimes go off it or change it? Asking because I find I can stick to my calorie…

What my doctor advised about vitamins and supplements
Basically, that the only vitamin worth taking is D and that most people who take other vitamins are getting too much when combined with vitamins naturally obtained through food. As for supplements (such as glucosamine and turmeric), she said if I really feel like they make a difference, they won't hurt, but her opinion is…

Pilates question
I've been doing Pilates for over a year now and LOVE it. One thing I really don't love, though, is bridging and no matter what level class I'm in we do it. It really hurts my back, even when I load up the springs. I haven't said anything to the instructors out of sheer embarrassment- I don't want to be the only one in the…

Come to Jesus meeting
with myself. I know why I'm not losing weight. Even though I do an hour of Pilates every day and get in at least 8000 steps walking my dog I'm still not losing any weight and I know perfectly well why: I'm not tracking my food/calorie intake consistently or realistically. I'm not doing it every day, I'm not measuring , but…

How to find threads faster
Is there some way to book mark a thread that I want to go back to? I know there is a search feature, but sometimes I can't remember the exact discussion title. Is there a feature where I can go to the threads I've commented on or something? There has to be an easier way but I don't know what it is. Thanks

Home remedies for a cold
HELP! I started feeling like I was getting a cold on Friday last week, and by yesterday it had definitely developed into a full blown cold. I'm not working out, I'm getting lots of fluids and I'm taking Nyquil just so I can sleep. Aside from that, doe anyone have any remedies they swear by? I want to feel better by…

"This is Us" fans... how do we feel about Cross Fit Toby?
When they were initially filming the show, the actor playing Toby had to wear what they meanly call a "fat suit" and the show was criticized for not using an actor who was actually that size. The actor defended the choice because he said later in the series we'd understand why. So now Toby has lost the weight. I am happy…

Documentary on Netflix about Bikram
Wow - if even half of this is true he's a monster. I've never liked Bikram yoga but I know many people who swear by it. What I can't believe is that he can abuse so many women, get away with it, AND continue to be successful. How is this possible?

Working out when sick
I woke up with a head cold, and really want to go to Pilates. I have been traveling so I haven't been to class in 4 days. We always wipe down everything we touch with anti-bacterial so I'm not so worried about infecting others, but wonder if it will slow down my recovery. I'm hosting 6 people for Thanksgiving. Would you go?

What time do you eat on Thanksgiving?
I grew up in Michigan and we always celebrated Thanksgiving "dinner" around noon. I now live in California where it's currently pitch dark by 5pm. We want to sit outside on the patio, so are planning for 2pm. What's your tradition?

Is this weird?
Last night I made scallops on pasta with a light cream sauce and peas. It was delish, and I only ate about half of it. It's 9am here and I'm craving it for breakfast. Is that weird to eat something like this for breakfast? Does anyone else eat non traditional food for breakfast? When I was in Thailand I ate soup every…

Ruining the Impossible Burger
I love the Impossible burger- yummy plant based "burger". One of my Pilates instructors was talking about it before class yesterday- that it's really not good for you, it's engineered, there's soy in it (is soy horrible??) etc. I'm not eating it a lot- maybe twice a month as a treat. Please let me love it! I mean...how…

I am devastated
So I've been doing PIlates for 10 months daily and tracking my food intake (though I admit not religiously). I can see definite change in my body and am starting to feel really good about myself again. Yesterday I went to a luncheon where there were several people who haven't seen me in a long time, and I expected…

Cannot get rid of my belly!!
I've been doing Pilates daily for 9 months now, and it's definitely making a big difference in my arms, legs, and butt. However, the improvement to my abs has been minimal. Crunches are really hard on my back- is that the only way to get good abs and lose this tummy? Any suggestions appreciated.
