Erin's Intro
Hey! I'm Erin and I'm 20 years old. I'm a Biology major at Clackamas College in Oregon. I have never in my life been skinny, thin, slender, etc... I used to be very self-conscious about my weight, but I've gotten over that for the most part. I was never really made fun of or bullied about it, although I think that may be…

Getting On The Gym Wagon
So, as a birthday present this month my parents are paying a gym membership fee for 6 months for me. I have no idea where to start.... They have a pool, offer classes (zumba, pilates, yoga etc...), have all the equipment. I know I can't exactly hit the treadmill running right now. My question is - What did you do when you…

Question About Fats?
I tend to go over a bit on my fat intake a few times a week. How much should I be worrying? My fat intake is from things like avocado, natural peanut butter and eggs not double cheeseburgers. Does it make a difference where that fat comes from?

Is anyone interested? Anyone have ideas on how we…

Pulled muscle? Yes, no?
So, my friend and I have taken a mini road trip the last two days (loads of time in the car). I felt fine until this afternoon when I rolled my neck to my left shoulder and pretty much instantly got pain in the right side of my neck. It hurts pretty bad if I tilt my head to the right side now. It also hurts down that back…

A Small Victory!
So, I've never been one to not like myself or think I'm not attractive (except on those bad days). I've always been overweight (258 at my highest last year, and 180 is the lowest I can remember about 4 years ago at 14-years-old) and I've been pretty happy as a person...but not with what I looked like. Last January I…

Exercise Calories
So, my usual calorie limit is 1600. Today I've earned an extra 528 exercise calories, which puts me up to 2128 to eat today. Should I really try to eat all those exercise calories?!? I have 1236 left to eat for dinner tonight, how do I eat all those without going over my fat/protein/carb limits?
