Resistance Bands!
I bought Bodylastics resistance bands this month and have been intermittently strength-training with them. They make me feel great and they are a lot more versatile than free weights. (Not to mention a helluva lot cheaper!) What are your opinions on resistance bands? And what are your favorite resistance band workouts?

Intervals without Apps
Hello all, Starting in late April, I began walking/jogging. I usually just walk and pick a couple of points in my eyesight to jog/run (from light post to light post, this mail box to the street corner, etc) and it feels pretty awesome. I am not timing myself or anything during these and it feels pretty great. But is this…

Craving Carbs in the Morning
Every day when I get up, I have this horrible urge to eat something carby! It kind of makes sense because bread and such helps with my IBS, but it really drags my body down. And usually it is something sugary and unhealthy. What are some suggestions to curb this habit?

Collecting Vinyl Records!
Anyone collect records?! What are your favorite? Mine is one I just purchased... The Monkees! Their first album, and it was a steal for just $1. It's very hard to find since Davy Jones died, that's for sure.

Breaking through a plateau
I've been reading up on the exercise I've been doing and I figured people that have plateaued might benefit from it. Interval training is super fun! http://www.topendsports.com/fitness/methods-intervals.htm

So, a lot of us are trying to lose our physical weight, but what about mental? Most people have some kind of emotional baggage, and that can really weigh on our health. How do you like to detox your emotional and mental health to keep yourself all-around healthy?

Ladies! - Giving lee-way during that time of the month?
Hello!! So, straight to the point. It's "that time of the month" and have been eating a bit more calories than normal. (I am set around 1500 but instead have been eating around 2000) Do you often give yourself a little lee-way because of all of the cravings and hormone-induced food needs when trying to be healthy or lose…

Anemia and IBS, OH MY!
Be warned, I'm very open about Irritable Bowel Syndrome! Try not to be offended by language involving IBS! Not too long ago I was diagnosed with Anemia, which sucks because Iron supplements and my IBS do not go together well. Lately it has been an issue and the pills AND liquid supplement given to me via prescription…

Females...Contraceptives?
Not sure where else to ask about this, but I have a question for my fellow females! I am just quitting my oral contraceptive. Surely, it will be hell, but I have reasons! So why would a sexually active 20 year old quit birth control? Many medical problems arose, from major anxiety to IBS symptoms. But a few years later, I…

What the hell do I even EAT?!
Hola everyone! I'm having an issue. Since I am vegetarian and have IBS, I am having an issue finding things to add to my diet to add variety. I've been stuck eating Belvita, granola bars, Protein bars, and Spring rolls...with the occasional pizza (which I am SO burnt out on from working at a pizza place). Also burnt out on…

Favorite Apps?
I've been using MapMyFitness to track my running and even connected it with MyFitnessPal to make sure it is added to my calorie loss. I'm starting strength training soon (with resistance bands and such) and have a hard time tracking that. So my question is, what are your favorite exercise tracking apps on your mobile…

What do YOU think?
Hello all, I've been doing the interval jogging/walking for about a month and a half now and go for about 3 miles on average, 5-6 nights per week. I burn around 280-350 calories (according to MapMyFitness and MyFitnessPal). I am 5'4" and last weighed at 143lbs. I have been eating between 1700-2000 calories per day instead…
