New friends
Hi. I’m back and my home feed is slowwwww. I left for a while and most of my friends are long gone. Would love some new humans to inspire, get inspiration from and connect with.

Anyone else play Just Dance 2016?
This may sound weird, but figured I'd throw it out there in case there are other strange birds out there. I love playing Just Dance, but I would love to somehow make it competitive with online friends. If anyone plays it, it's a good workout if you really do it.. and would like to try and beat each others scores let's try…

Need to lose 50, anyone else want to board?
Looking for new friends that may help keep the fire lit and vice versa. I really need to drop 50lbs for health reasons. I’m a mom of 2, grad student, and server. So finding time to add in work outs is creative for me. Would love some friends with like minded goals, as well as friends who run. I’m hoping after I drop 10, I…

I binge
I'll start of by at least saying I know why I am not reaching my goals, so that is the positive to my eating issues. I have lots 20+ pounds over the past 1.5 years. I keep gaining and losing the same 6 or 7, and still need to lose about 20-25 to be at a healthy weight. My weight is keeping me from enjoying life like I used…

Long run advice...
Last time I trained for half, I just ran. I brought money with me if I needed to stop in a store to buy water. This time I plan to hide a couple small waters and go back and get bottles (Got smarter). Any other tips? Friends of mine eat Goo or the like. Are those necessary? What to your longer runs "look" like?

Anyone want a journal buddy?
I am struggling. I know it's my own fault. I binge eat at least once a month and undo everything I worked for the other 3 weeks. When I was on weight watchers, I had a friend for a few weeks where we would look over each others logs to hold each other accountable as well as getting ideas. Would this benefit anyone else? If…

Sometimes... I get REALLY excited about a salad.
Last night we had a warm pearl cous cous salad for dinner with tomato's, portobello, zucchini, eggplant and onions... It was one of the best meals I've had in a very long time. Today for lunch I have baby romaine, love beets, grape tomatoes, mushrooms, broccoli, asaparagus, cucumber and grilled chicken. Just with oil and…

Checking off your weight for a race
How does this make you feel? I was just signing up for a fall 5K, with my half training, it recommends it. The only one close to me, has an option to choose "Filly" or "Clydesdale" if you are female over 140 and male over 190. It's the first time I have seen this as an option and I've run quite a few races.

So I bought a food scale....
Because of all you FINE people :O) I've been using it this week, and learning I was definitely underestimating meat, but a lot of other things seem so odd to me. I weighed my avocado today and it was 1 ounce and 45 calories. I was counting it as 165 or so. There were quite a few foods that I was counting WAY higher. Next…

Tanks that help fat stay put
So. When I run, I don't like my stomach moving all over the place. Also, I have a larger waist than butt to be honest. So I bought this tank a LONG time ago, and it helps support the girls, keep stomach from moving everywhere and holds up my shorts. Sorry if TMI. I can't find anything like it. If there is anyone on the…

Green smoothie discussion
I know there are a bunch of smoothie strings, but after quick search, couldn't find answers here or elsewhere. I will keep googling though. I noticed on my work days I get what feels like a pill stuck in my throat. Sometimes it even gets scratchy (imagine plastic spiders crawling up your throat). All weekend (I was away),…

Shorts while running
So, I had given up on running shorts because it hurt my thighs. I tried vaseline, but that only helps for first couple miles. That said, I'm heading south in a couple weeks (HOT!), and would like to wear my running shorts. Does Body Glide work? It has good reviews, but figured I'd ask in case you have better suggestions.

Would like more friends who work out often :)
Hello! Would love to add more friends who work out often. It's a selfish request in a way. I love opening up my app mid day when I'm exhausted and just want to go home on the couch and seeing in my feed all the exercise people are doing. If you think that is helpful also, please add. My fitness buddies are slowly dwindling…

When people in your life aren't on board
I find it really hard when all 8 of my siblings and significant others and all 11 nieces and nephews are out of shape and over weight and I'm the only one trying. I studied Psychology in college and I believe human behavior is really affected by environment. So. I have been trying to be the "environment" for these kids. No…

I would even eat 3 sleeves of rice cakes... plain.
I get ravenous a few days before my period. Sorry if TMI. But honestly I want to eat EVERYTHING IN SITE. Anyone have any good ideas on how to solve this other than locking myself in a room until I go to bed. Do not say, don't eat. I actually FEEL hungry??! Besides just giving in and eating everything in site, you ladies…

Runner's Knee
I know a few posts have been done on this topic, but searched and didn't find anyone with this diagnosis whose muscle also atrophied? The ortho made a face like "now isn't that odd" when he looked at my leg. The muscle if you are looking at my knee on the top right (lower quad) is completely gone. I've also noticed off and…

First half Marathon 10/6. Freaking out.
I have been running for nearly 2 years. I don't ever have the need for speed. It's stamina I'm looking for. I'd like to finish this race. I need a good training schedule to follow so I can put it in my family calendar and stick to it. I need wednesdays and saturdays to be my long runs. Anyone have any websites that can…

When you're going it alone
There has to be people out there with spouses or significant others who don't care at all about their physical appearance. So, knowing that, what motivates you to keep in good shape? I think that is partly what throws me off on my dieting/fitness routine. When it gets hard juggling working, kids, fitness, eating healthy, I…

Work outside home moms...
Hi, Just wondering how you fit in your exercise, if and when you need to be creative. I find it super challenging to get in time for myself on a daily basis. Food is easier because I can do my prep at nights when kids are asleep, but I find by 830 at night, I'm really exhausted. Also right after work is out for me because…

Maybe YOU don't want to lose weight.....
Put you so you'd open it. I know I'm a trickster, but I'm also a firm believer (aside from medical conditions) that if a person wants something - anything! bad enough they will do it. I wanted to quit smoking. I did. It was easy for me 1.5 years ago because I WANTED it. Years ago before I got married, I got into the best…

Pain in my calf? Runners help??
I have a shooting pain in my left calf. It just comes randomly, short quick stab. Then I feel like I lost control of my leg for a second, so I sink... then It's gone. But it's been happening off and on for past 24 hours. When I walk... run or just sitting here. Anyone every experience this??

Looking for friendly competition...
Serious only need apply ;) I would like to add some people on here who like some friendly competition. I tried doing it with local friends and they fizzed out on me. Basically what I will do is every day in the feed post a different challenge having to do with nutrition or physical activity, and see if my friends can meet…

Who's up for a challenge?
Would like to add friends on here that will challenge me and also accept challenges. Anyone want to help or join in? Or you can just be a wicked pissah motivator. I'll take those also....

Think I now want it bad enough...
Hello boards. I've been poking around the past few days and these boards seem to be very supportive and informative. So decided to start here. A little about me. I'm a mom who works outside of the home of 2 young children who is tired of being tired. I was doing well a year or so ago. I had lost just about 30 pounds. I got…
