Intermittent fasting when sick?
I’ve been intermittent fasting for the last three weeks, a pretty chill 14-hr daily fast from 6pm to 8am. I have not been counting or restricting calories within the eating period, but it’s gotten relatively easy. I lost ~5lbs in the beginning & have been maintaining this week. I’m less hungry in the mornings now than I…

Food Accountability Buddy to Check In Every Day?
Hey guys :D I’m looking for someone to exchange pics of meals with, talk about what we’re planning to eat, meal prep, etc, to stay motivated! Do you think that would be helpful for you, too?

How to safely run in grass?
This is the second time I’ve sprained my ankle in as many months and I am so extremely over it. The first time I was trying to improve my speed and going too fast, so ok, my bad. But the second time I was running my normal speed, route, and distance, pain-free, with a doctor’s approval to return to running, and looking in…

How do you get around the muscle-burning nature of jogging?
Do you enjoy jogging? I enjoy jogging. Even when I’m feeling tired and lazy and don’t want to do anything useful, my body pokes me like ‘ok, get up, let’s go.’ Over the last couple months, I increased my weekly mileage enough to maybe even consider myself an actual baby jogger, rather than just someone who occasionally…

Cold Weather Walks
Walking in the cold brings all sorts of thoughts to my mind. Including one especially pointless question that I hope someone nevertheless humours me on 😊 when taking a walk in the cold, why do your upper legs/thighs get REALLY cold while your calves and feet are toasty warm? Are there more blood vessels in your calves or…

Sneaking in strength training?
So there are plenty of ways to make cardio fun. Hiking, soccer, dance classes, ice skating; I love cardio. The problem is that it does a lot for my legs and not much else, so my arms are weak and I can’t even open my own oil cap (and forget about jars of pasta sauce). I want to work on strengthening the rest of my body -…

Maintaining the volume of a recipe when skipping sugar?
Have you guys modified any baked goods to eliminate or reduce the amount of sugar used? What do you replace the missing volume with? Usually if a recipe calls for sugar I just ignore it, but some of the recipes I’m looking at for the solstice call for a LOT of sugar (like, these lemon bars want a third of a cup and this…

Community advice on designing a running schedule?
So I’m not training for a race or anything, but in the interest of getting fit and actually using my body for something, I’ve been putting together my own running program, which I’ve followed for several weeks now: I basically pulled the four day cycle and running times out of thin air, and I wanted to get some more…

Active friends?
I’m looking for some talkative people to liven up my feed and remind me to use this app more often. I have an open diary, if that’s a deciding factor for anyone ✨ add me?

I’m so frickin cold
Anyone else miserable trying to maintain their workout routine in this weather? How do you avoid dying?

Anyone else have trouble forming habits? Habit friends?
I just started C25K yesterday :) I did day one yesterday, and day two today, and I'll do day 3 tomorrow, because it's currently mentally but not physically challenging. (I'll start adding rest days when I start getting sore) The problem, though. I can never get into a habit for more than three or four days. Like, the 30…

Low carb/keto food?
I'm wondering if anyone has experience with a low-carb (or specifically keto) diet they want to share? Today was a little (*cough*) more excessive on the carbs than usual (day before grocery shopping, and I admit I kinda gave up and just had pasta), but not that much. I have a lot of trouble getting it below 40%, when even…

Heavy duty suggestions for killing a grain addiction?
Bread (whole wheat or rye), and to a lesser extent rice and pasta, are the staples of my diet. There are literally days when I will eat nothing but bread, fruit, and yogurt. I tried cutting out all grains (and foods with added sugar) for a week, and I failed so hard after either three or four days. I had no restrictions on…
-
Adequate calcium?
So, after tracking every day this week, I've found I never meet the calcium DV. I know it's a small sample size, but this week has been pretty consistent with my overall eating habits, so I think it's a consistent problem. I wanted to ask you guys: 1.) how important is calcium, really? And 2.) are calcium supplements as…

Healthy replacement for butter and toast?
What's a food that's just as filling, warm, and quick to make as toast with butter? There are way too many carbohydrates in my life, and my Smart Balance has poly and monounsaturated fats that are tragically making me consider breaking up with it /;

How to learn to dance for the tragically uncoordinated?
I'm not sure if there are other people who listen to music and would very much like to be able to dance to it, but haven't the slightest idea how. It seems like a wonderful form of exercise - you get your body moving and your heart rate up, and it's fun and the music distracts you from even realising how long you've been…

Maybe some encouragement would help me...
Or responsibility or accountability or whatever. I've been trying to lose weight for agessss, and I lost 13kg in 3 months and then got stuck /: I been gaining weight back and losing it and gaining it back and losing it but never got below 70kg, so m hoping maybe this group interaction thing might be useful.... Someone tell…
