How Do I Take Care of Myself while Taking Care of My Sick Mom?
I am in need of ideas to keep myself motivated and on track with major life changes pending. My mom has COPD. She is in the latter stages and not doing well. Until recently she was managing, but then my step-father passed away in October and she went into a decline. To make matters worse, we live 500 miles apart. We are…

16:8 IF Friends Wanted
I read an article about the 8 hour diet last night that got me interested in IF. I realized I naturally follow the 16:8 fasting scenario on the weekends and vacation (and I'm not hungry). I've been doing the 3 meals and 2 snacks during the work week for a couple of years now. I've lost weight, but I'm always thinking about…

Seeking Suggestions for Weight Training at Home
Hi, I'm hoping someone can give me good ideas for video or routine for weight bearing exercize at home without having to purchase equipment.

Canine ACL Ruptures surgery vs rehab

I have iffy knees so I get a better work-out on the elliptical vs. treadmill or walking outside. I assume this happens because you do not lift…

Struggling with best weight for me -
Hi, I'm struggling to determine the best weight for me. I'm female, 48 years old, and 5'1" tall. Most charts and tables say I should weigh somewhere between 105 and 140 for my age, height, etc. My issue is my frame size. I'm kind of off the chart when it comes to that (on the x-large side of things). I've tried different…

gluten free protien shake
Does anyone know of a good gluten free protien that I can add to water or almond milk. I'm not getting enough protien and thought if I could find a gluten free option, that might give me a good low fat snack. Thanks.
