What are you reading?
I'm just wondering what you groovies are reading. I'm finishing up A Game of Thrones and I'm about to start a new book called The Secret History. I just need it to be the weekend so I can have time to read.

Bystolic Fatigue and exercise
I hope this is in the right forum, if not, sorry but, I'm about two weeks into taking a beta blocker for migraines. I'm on 10 mg of Bystolic a day and all I want to do is sleep. I have very little energy to do anything and haven't exercised in a while because of feeling so tired, needing extra sleep, and finding it so hard…

I kinda miss it...venting...sorry
This might be a bit triggering, and sorry if it is, I'm not exactly in the best headspace but the past 4 months I've lost weight, not sure how much since I measure with pics and my SO's shirts, but it's also the longest I've gone on a weightloss plan that was healthy but I still have a lot of the same mentalities. I hate…

Considering a Dietitian
So, I work at a hospital with nurses and we can see some specialists for free. One suggested that since I do have a history of ednos that my metabolism probably isn't normal and won't ever be and I might need different nutrients than the typical person because of it. But I'd have to admit my issues to a GP I don't feel…

Exercises for those not feeling their best
What are some good exercises to do while on the recovering end of a sinus infection? I'm on my antibiotic now and feeling better, so I at least want to do yoga or pilates or some low impact moderate cardio or something. What's good to do so I don't lose too much stamina or strength just being a sick bed lump?

A possibly silly question...
Okay, so...I read online, and I know that right there is a bit on the dubious side, that the more fit you get, the more you sweat when you exercise because your body can't tell if you're just about to prance around for a bit to get your heart rate up or if you're about to go all out and burn major calories so when you…

Quick Check in
Ello lovelies! How is everyone doing? We've got a weekend coming up, yay that. Hope everyone is doing well and feeling great. Stay beautiful!

Non Scale Tracking
So I do a fair bit of muscle work and body weight training. I've lost inches because my shirts fit better but my weight has gone up. I know rationally that I shouldn't care about that number if I'm losing inches and gaining strength and gaining cardio stamina but I do. I'm in this to lose weight and my goal is to weigh…

Costumes Costumes Costumes
So, can't have a Hot for Halloween group without a thread about costumes. Costume ideas, help with ideas, help with costumes, all of it. So, who's going as what? I'm tossing everything from Cleopatra, a diesel punk chick, to evil ballerina or something sorta based on Game of Thrones.

Time of the month and weight
I was going to do a weigh in this weekend, it's been a few weeks since I've done one but I'm menstruating this week and I'm so scared that the water retention is going to make me weight heavy. I can never tell if it's water or fat so I'm kinda scared. How do you manage that without totally freaking out? I want to know if…

Barre Work Sans Barre
I tired to search for this and didn't get what I was looking for, if this has been answered elsewhere, please show me the link and I'll check it out. I'm working on the whole body sculpting through body weight work deal and I find the ballet and ballet inspired programs (Bar Method, Barre 3, Ballet Beautiful) to be the…

Insanity, Ripped in 30, and other such programs
Does anyone here use any of the workout system dvds at home? Right now I'm using Ripped in 30 and some Turbo Jam and Yoga Booty Ballet on resty days in my dvd rotation. I'm getting Insanity soon from a friend but does anyone here use them not as they are directed? I can't deal with one trainer for 6 weeks everyday

Damage Control time
So yesterday was hell for me. I'm having issues with my depression and trying to get that sorted out, yesterday was the end of a binge that lasted about a day and a half. I ate a ton of cookies and other sweets. Now I'm trying very hard to stick to how I know to eat and to do some gentle exercise to make up for the all out…

Frustrated and upset...
Im trying my best to stay positive. Im keeping in with MFPs limits, I reduced my carbs, Im doing my exercise, I work a job 3 days a week that keeps me moving. Still, my weight wont drop. I just lowered my calories so hopefully that helps. Im trying not to stress too much or start wondering about going back to 1000 as my…

Online Belly Dance Classes
So my love of Souhaila is pretty well known. Her mothership studio offers dance classes online, well, it's streams of her dance classes that have been edited and put online. I'm thinking I might do it or at least do the free trial to see how I like it and if I learn anything. I like my dvds that I have so far and I'm in no…

No Gym Access...
I'm working on burning fat and getting a bit muscular. I know lifting heavy weights in going to be key but I don't always have access to a gym so I can't really lift heavy or as heavy as I want. I'm pretty much limited to body weight exercises and the sets of 3 and 5 pound weights that I currently own. In the future I do…

Holy Peer Pressure Batman lol
So I'm doing a 5K in a month! I'm excited and not too worried since it's not time and it all about being blasted with colorful corn starch and having fun but I do want to do well. My team captain/coworker is really fit and athletic. I'm becoming more active and my body adapts to being active but I'm overweight and…

Why dont people get it?
Why do people take it so personally or get so upset when a person starts to get new more health focused friends? I still love my old friends but some of them have habits with eating, not exercising, and self inflicted body hatred that I dont need in my life, at least not as much. Im making friends now who are into running,…

hi
I'm up tonight and I've got thoughts that used to send me straight into unhealthy behaviors. I keep wanting to exercise more but I'm already sore all over. My brain won't stop and I feel like a lump. Not really sure why. sigh. sorry, I needed to vent, I hope this place is okay with that

Hihi everyone!
I'm a novice at home belly dancer with a few workshops and classes under my belt. I love the dance. I'm so glad there's a group on here. How's everyone doing?

No diet food
Why do I still get looked at funny for drinking whole milk, using butter, and eating whole eggs and not just the whites? Why do people still keep thinking that low cal this, diet that, and fake frozen unfulfilling diet food is better than real foods? Maybe you can lose weight with those foods but can you keep it off? How…

Level 2
Level 2 is like level 1 with a kick. I like it! Level 1 wasn't a good push but not enough of a real challenge for me. Level 2 on the other hand kicks like woah. It sucks but is fun at the same time. I will probably use Levels 1 and 2 for the next month depending on how I feel. I know I'll get bored if I just do this…

Just Started
I did level one today after a friend jokingly suggested since it's popular here with people my age. I did it and enjoyed it. I suck at pushups but that was about it for level 1. I don't know if I can do level 1 for nine days. I may try level 2 and just do level 2 with level 1 for when I want a bit of a break. I also heard…
