Can I still walk with shin splints?
So I am fairly new to the whole “exercise consistently” thing. I’ve never been able to stick with plans in the past, usually because I go too hard, too fast, and end up hating it and getting burnt out quickly. I’ve tried to take a much softer approach this time. I’ve been easing myself into the C25K program, running 2-3…

Trying to adopt a more active lifestyle.
Hey, folks. I used this app a few years back, and I loved the social aspect. The support and encouragement really helped me stick to my goals. I am back, and hoping to make some changes again.

Curious about 40/30/30 Diets...

Looking for a new scale, advice?
I am embarrassed to say, I don't even own a scale right now. I just depend on my doctor's visits to see the changes. (which have all been up, up, up!). I see my doc every 3-5 months. But now that I am logging in here, I would like to start weighing myself to track progress. So, I have two things to address here: 1) I need…

Need advice from gym go-ers
So I went to the gym today for the first time in years. (:bigsmile: yay!). My brother has been going 3 or 4 times a week for a couple of years, and he finally talked me into it. He exercises in a room that plays movies on a large screen and it is dark. The darkness is my favorite part about this room because I am…

Weird question...
I really don't know if this is the appropriate place to post this, lol. But I wanted to know if anyone else is experiencing this. Whenever I start cutting back on calories and exercising, I find that I have to pee a lot more than normal. Especially in the evening. It is sorta annoying. Anyone know why this happens?

Hello, all. I am knew to this place. Excited to have a site where I can keep track of my progress and stay connected with others! All of the other sites I have used in the past were very individualized. I am hoping that the nature of this site will provide me with some accountability to keep chugging away at my goal. If…
