Looking for workout/hiking partners in Reno Nevada
Hi. Not sure if there is a way to search for this on this site but I really want to meet some people that I can do active things with. I just moved out on my own and am single for the first time in 27 years. I moved to a new town and took a new job. My boys (who are my joy) are not 18 and 19 and off on their own. I need to…

Curios...what is usual the first feature on someone that attracts you?
We all have it. That one or two features that we notice first. Something that really draws us even if the person is not the total package we might be looking for. Let me hear them..

Gratitude Thread - (yes, I know...unusual for this area)

I have been letting myself get caught up in all the sucks lately and I need to turn that around so I would like to post what I am grateful for today and I would love if you would share with me what you are grateful as well. I need some positive energy.…

Learning to Embrace the Good and Let go of the Bad (sorry, long post)
I have had some pretty substantial things to deal with this year...my son's life threatening illness, his 4th open heart surgery which took about 1/4 of his heart out and replaced with artificial, his following drug addiction and rehabilitation, my divorce, my health issues, job issues. I could let myself get overwhelmed…

This question is for those of you who have been working at weight loss for awhile...
Does anyone else come up against this problem. People around me assume that because I have been overweight for 10 years that I am unaware of what it takes to lose weight. I am emailed, mailed, and politely suggested to try the latest fad that comes around constantly. I don't want to go into the fact that part of the reason…

I really need some help.
People say that the hardest part is admitting that to yourself and others...well, I am doing that. I continue to sabotage my workout habits and let life (work, family craziness) get in the way. There is not even a conscience decision each day to blow off working out. I am so tired of "starting over". I am tired of letting…

Actually eating the food that I put in my food log...anyone else?
Ok, so I have to eat two of my meals at my desk each day...or at least, I do eat two of my meals at my desk each day. I will prepare a healthy meal. I will log that meal. But after an hour or two I realize that I have only eaten about half of it. I forget to go in and redo my quantities. I am wondering if I am not losing…

Starting again...and again...and again.
Being healthy is a long journey for me. One that has been filled with starts and stops. I recently spent 7 weeks living away from home while my son fought for his life. He is a 20 year old man who had to have his fourth open heart surgery because of a heart infection. It was an incredibly hard time filled with paralyzing…

I have been put on steroids by my doctor for my raw throat and told that I just have to keep drinking lots of fluids, use saline nasal…

Coming back and jumping in strong!
Good Morning All. I have been away from this community for about a year. In that year, so much has happened. In the last three months...so much has happened. I went from being self employed with 8 clients to being a full time employee (still with two clients). I divorced. I moved to a different city and from 2600 square…

Great Morning - Because I was determined to walk!
Thank you for this group. This morning I woke up and got ready for my hike because I wanted to report that I had done my 30 minutes of walking. Even better, I woke my son and his girlfriend and convinced them to go to the lake with me for a hike and sit on the beach morning. I got a hike, company and sun...great morning.…

Before you start reading, I will warn you that I am going to be ridiculously honest and open. I…

Having one of those days.
I am 225 pounds. I am so tired of this body that can't do what I want it to do. I am tired of getting breathless when I am doing laundry and going up and down the stairs. I am tired of getting breathless when I go on my hike in the mornings. I have been working at taking this weight off since I put it on 18 years ago. I am…
