Going sugar (and artificial sweetener) free...
I've noticed that I'm slowly starting to binge again and I know it has to be because of sugar... So after my 600+ calorie-sugar-filled breakfast I've decided that for the next 3 weeks (until my birthday) I am going to eat zero sugar and zero artificial sweeteners. I NEED YOUR HELP! I need sugar free recipes that don't…

Thinking of adopting a husky...advice please :)
Ok so here is my situation. I'm going to bulletpoint all the things I think need to be considered when you have a dog, and I'd like to hear arguments for and against adopting this husky. I'm not sure how old he is, but he's not a puppy anymore, that's for sure. Basically, I'm on the fence about it. I really would love to…

Women only! Seriously though...
So I've been on the Nuva Ring for a little over a year now, and I've noticed that I'm ALWAYS bloated. Even though I'm drinking plenty of water, keeping my sodium low, keeping my calories low, I'm always bloated. Do you think this could be because of the ring?? Has anyone else had this problem and did taking your ring out…

Early Birds! advice needed
So I'm definitely an early bird and have more motivation to work out at 5 am than i do at 5 pm. However, it's hard for me to get a quality workout in because i'm so sore and stiff and don't have time to get much of a warm-up in. Any suggestions that can help me get loose quickly so I don't have to wake up even earlier??…

*NOT FOR WEAK STOMACHS OR HEARTS*
If you decide to watch this, please be prepared. It's a gruesome wake-up call to what most of us are doing. This is how industrial meat producers (in other words, the main companies we get our meat from) treat animals. If you'd like to argue that this is okay, or even if eating animals is okay, be my guest. Hopefully I can…

Insanity/P90X quotes
I've noticed a lot of us are doing INSANITY and/or P90X. Now you know there are some priceless quotes in these programs (especially from Tony) and when I quote them to people who haven't seen it, I just look stupid. So here's a place to quote away and we all know what you're talking about! i'll start. this one's from pure…

PB2 question
I just bought some PB2 (LOVE IT btw) and I was wondering, just to clarify, is one serving 2 TBSP of the POWDER or 2 TBSP after it is reconstituted?

rough day.
So I returned home from a 2 week stay with some friends where i lost like 3 lbs and felt great. Today, i've for some reason returned to my old eating habits with a vengeance. I've just been eating on and off for the past 3 hours. I wouldn't call it a binge, but I am overeating for sure. I don't know why but i just feel…

Low energy, High appetite
Hi all, I've been working out a lot lately (I do INSANITY as well as train for a half marathon). It's really taken it's toll on me, I'm feeling so bogged down. Not to mention the last three days I've gone over my calorie limit and just ate a 400 calorie breakfast :( What do you do when you physically feel too blah to work…

Sugar and Heroin
This is just a little fact for those of you who get so down on yourselves when you give in to a sugar craving and end up binging on sweets (I'm right there with you). It's not because you have no willpower! When we eat sugar, it releases dopamine (otherwise known as the "feel-good" chemical) in our brains and we feel good,…

The person that always puts you down...
...for me it's my mom. I used to be very very thin. Now, I'm a little bigger than I'd like to be, but the key word here is "little". I literally have about 10 lbs to lose, maaaaybe 15 if I really feel like it. I'm 5'2", 120 -123 lbs. And she constantly makes comments to me. These comments vary by her mood. If she's in a…

You know that person that you can't even stand the sight of?
Well I'm sitting in my Art History class right now...I know, I'm a terrible student. But anyway, there is this guy in my class who was also in my art education class, who is also in my drawing class, who was also in my printmaking class--HE'S EVERYWHERE. And he thinks he's just the greatest thing since ice cream...and ice…

Runners! And non-runners! Looking for a muddy, fun, tough ra
Hey everyone, I just have to tell you about this race I ran on Sunday. It's called the Warrior Dash. It's a ~3 mile course with all sorts of obstacles such as climbing over cars, climbing a rope ladder, trudging through a mud pit, hurdling over fire, and crawling under barbed wire. Now if you don't run, but would still…
