Sleep vs. Exercise
I am so jealous of all you early risers that get up and at e'm before the birds chirp! I have a hard time parting with the land of nod. How do you guys do it? I'm sure once I make a habit of it, it will be second nature, but right now it's hard. How much sleep are you all getting when you're waking up at 5 am? I think for…

Is there life after Ranch Dip?
I like vegetables, but not enough to snack on them raw. I want to try and cut back on using ranch (my sweet spot) but I’m not sure what else I can use to dip them? My palates recoil in horror at the thought of fat free dips, so I’d like to steer clear of that too.

not shin pain, but rather tightness
I'm doing all the suggested stretches to prevent shin pain and it's helped, but they are brutally tight when I go for walks. Is the tightness normal? If so, I'm sure they will loosen if I keep it up.

Good Quote
Just wanted to say you guys are all awesome! I didn't do well today, but it really helps me prepare to get back on track when I see everyone logging their exercise....ON A SUNDAY! And for anyone else that may have 'taken the day off', here's a good quote: "Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could.…

Flaxseed
Does anyone else use Flaxseed in their diet? It's been recommended by my cardiologist and he gave me a sample of Hodgson Mills Flaxseed to sprinkle on my foods, but I haven't so far. I'm wondering if it will alter the taste any. Of course he told me it wouldn't, but I'd like to get your opinions! He even suggested…

Trying not to quit - gym rant
I'm so frustrated and annoyed at the behaviour some people display at the gym. My first bad experience was a chick that hatefully yelled at me "Oh, NO, girl in the blue, that's MY spot you're in. You have to move. NOOOO. That's my security spot." I was dumbfounded and stunned. Everyone turned and stared while I packed up…

'ello fitness pals!
I've never really introduced myself on a site and it feels awkward like I'm walking up to a lunch table at school and in an very poindexter-y and nasal-ly voice saying "hi guys"! But, I'm Natalie, I'm 33 and I'm loving this site so far! I am hoping to not only lose weight but get healthy in general so my husband and I can…
