Should I commute from home or live in an apartment?
Hello, I am entering my junior year of college this year. I have lived away from my parents for two years (one year in a dorm, one year in an apartment). My parents have moved closer to me (since my younger sister graduated from high school and is going to school far away) since I just happened to pick a college that is a…

Shoe inserts for shin/knee pain?
Hello, I have had shin/knee pain for about a year now and would really like for it to end so I can get on a workout routine and lose weight. I believe that this is a result of wearing unsupportive shoes all the time since I walk everywhere due to not having a car/living in an urban area. I was just wondering if anyone…

Knee/shin pain?
Hello, I have been experiencing some knee pain for a while now. It feels as though there is some kind of "air bubble" that needs to be "popped" in my knee cap. I do not like bending my knees anymore since it kind of hurts and the thought of doing a squat makes me cringe. My shins also bother me sometimes, and I feel like…

How do you lose weight when you're so out of shape?
Hello, I am trying to lose about 25 pounds (all of which I gained from depression/binge eating) but I am having such a hard time exercising. Before all of this happened, I used to be able to run 6 miles 6 days a week and do strength training and yoga a couple of times a week too. Now whenever I try to go for an outdoor…

Protein shakes
Do you guys have any favorite protein shake recipes? I have chocolate and vanilla protein powder that I have only used for pancakes... for some reason the idea of drinking a scoop of protein powder mixed with water sounds gross to me... is it good? How do you guys like your protein shakes?

Fish oil and depression?
Hello all! I want to start taking fish oil due to all of its benefits. One of my friends told me that it helps with depression, so I just wanted to ask the community here, has anyone experienced this?

My depression has really bottomed out
Hi all, I'm sorry to dump all of this here on the threads but I'm really lost right now. I am 20 years old and have had diagnosed clinical depression and anxiety since I was 11 years old.

Post workout lunch?
Hello, I usually workout between breakfast and lunch. For breakfast most days, I have oatmeal, which is a great preworkout meal for me since it gives me energy (from carbs, duh!) to work out. Once I get home I'm often unsure of what to have for lunch. I know it should involve protein though for muscle recovery. What do you…

Need some friends/buddies!
Hello! I'm 20 years old and in college and am new on the site. I'd love some friends to keep me accountable.

College students?
Hello! I'm new and could use some friends to look at their diaries/have motivation and support. I'm 5'5", 20 years old, and weigh about 150 pounds (but I'm honestly not sure.... a bit too scared to go on my scale :/ might even be more lol) after some emotional eating/too much drinking and drunk eating in college and would…
