Mental Health & Physical Health.
Posting this here cause I’m hoping someone has some advice or has also experienced something similar. I feel like anytime I get my physical health under control my mental health takes a hit and vice versa. I’ve been in a weird yo-yo between the two for about five years now and cannot seem to figure out how to conquer both…

How quick until you hit a plateau?
So I'm only about 4 weeks into working out (4x a week now as opposed to no activity before) and mindful eating (now 90% healthy as opposed to 30% before) but it seems I have already hit a plateau? Is this normal or is there something I should be doing differently? Any suggestions or advice is greatly appreciated!

Fighting Cravings
I hope I'm not the only one in this boat, but sometimes I get such insane cravings for junk food that I can't focus on anything.

Hello, I am looking for any suggestions that people can give me on exercises that I can use to tone my lower body (legs and butt).

How much is too much exercise?
Because of a long history of eating disorders in my family (myself included) I think I've become hyper sensitive to people over exercising. Just wondering how much is too much exercise for someone who is just looking to lose weight? Not someone training for any type of sport or event, but just doing it purely for weight…

Overwhelmed at the Gym
Does anyone one else get completely overwhelmed at the gym? There are just so many different machines that, to be completely honest, intimidate me. Not to mention the super jacked people who always seem to be questioning why I am there.... So I always do my stuff on cardio machines and get too scared to do anything else :(…

To get a gym membership or not?
I can't really decide if I should get myself a gym membership or not. At home I have a treadmill and a set of 5 pounds weights and an absurd amount of Jillian Michaels DVD's. Should I look into getting a gym membership or do you think that I can still get enough of a varied set of workouts at home?

Hot Yoga
Hey everyone, I was thinking about giving hot yoga a try but I was hoping someone who had experience with it could tell me a bit about it. How intense is it? I am not flexible AT ALL but really want to work on that, so is it okay for me to join or will I just be an embarrassment to myself? Thanks! -- Michelle
