February challenge: a month to love...
A month to love yourself! We aren't perfect and we have goals we want to meet but for this month I challenge you to work hard but when you look in the mirror and start to think those thoughts like "I hate my jiggly butt" or "my legs are so gross" or any negative thoughts about your body, try to cut that thought off and say…

I feel like I need to get this off my chest.
It's right in my profile info that I have low thyroid and am on two meds for it. Well low thyroid symptoms are similar to pregnancy and new mommy symptoms. I gained more weight with my 4 month old than I did with my other two. I tried really hard not to but nearly every apt I would go in and have gained more than I should…

I dare you. No! I double dare you!
I think it's awesome to see people do random exercises in public places so I dare everybody to do some jumping jacks or push ups in a parking lot or calf raises while waiting in line at the grocery store. Maybe even burpies in the park. It isn't embarrassing if everyone does it plus it can be fun just to not care what…

Two days, two pairs of pants, two nsv's
Yesterday I was doing a virtual 4 x 400 meter relay race (thank you fitocracy). I had just been hanging out at home wearing some capri workout pants that I have had for a couple years now (but I hadn't worn to run in for a few months since getting running pants) and didn't think that I needed to change as it was just a…

What's your favorite running songs?
I need to add to my running playlist...any suggestions? I don't like bad language because I like to be able to play my music at the dojo. Other than that, I like a wide range of music, new and old. OK, go!

Profile pics!
So I have noticed that if somebody has a very serious look on their face or if they look kinda sad in their profile picture, I kind of think that is their mood all the time. I KNOW that isn't the case but I guess I have a hard time matching up a sad/somber face with a very happy-go-lucky post or comment. Am I the only one?…

Moving past being on "Speaking terms"
My legs and I haven't been friends for a few years now. We were barely on speaking terms, if you will. They didn't want to do everything that I wanted them to and I thought that they were ugly. Well today as I was on my morning run, I decided that maybe we can change our relationship status from "Speaking terms" to…

For baby mama's who had c-sections...
For any of us that have the awesome "shelf," "front butt," "tummy pouch" or whatever you call it. Do you have issues with your clothes staying up particularly when you workout? I know that it has been an on going issue for me and I have finally found one thing that helps a lot! I got a couple of the belly bands (I have…

Before pic...
I don't want to but I think that I should take one...and maybe just keep it to myself until I make some awesome progress. How long did you weight after starting your journy before taking abefore picture? On another note, I would love to have some more friends on here to help keep me motivated! :smile:

Meditation as a weight loss tool?
Does anybody use meditation regularly as a part of their weight loss effort? It is know to reduce stress and stress doesn't play well with weight loss (the whole cortisol thing, right?) so do you think that it would be a helpful tool? I'm thinking that I might just give it a go because it can't hurt but I'm just curious to…
