*Trying* to be patient
Good morning, I am the classic yo-yo dieter. I've been up and down numerous times. My mindset is all or nothing so I am good for a few months and then I gain it all back and have to start all over again. I've had the best luck with eating clean and lifting heavy. Right now I'm eating as clean as I can and have been doing…

For Ladies: Effect of exercise on Menstrual Cycles
Hi, I'm just wondering if there is anyone else that goes through the same thing. Since I started exercising heavily 4x a week (about 6 months ago), I noticed a change in my cycles. I'm usually very regular - every 28 to 29 days. When I exercise, however, my cycles are shorter about every 23-24 days (or 3.5 weeks). This is…
