Quest Bars: are they worth it?
Quest Bars are doing a promotion -- you can try two bars for about $4 (seems a bit pricey, but if I like them, I might get them) They seem good in terms of nutrition, most of them are fairly low in sugar, but a little high on the salt if you ask me...but that's okay, because they have 20g of protein. I am a vegetarian (and…

Strange phenomenon while running...
I recently started running in my neighborhood only wearing a sports bra and shorts...I used to wear a t-shirt and shorts, but it's too hot for that. There are guys who run shirtless. But why am I getting ridiculed for running in my shorts and sports bra? I don't understand??? It isn't a big deal, but I've been told by…

Rest days: how important are they?
I would like to start off this post by noting that I am a recovering bulimic. I've only been serious about recovery for a week, but boy am I really pushing myself. That being said...I want to get fit. Preferably, by the time I go back to college...which is the end of August. I don't have terribly much to lose, MAYBE 10 -…

Recovery buddy

Recovering Bulimic -- needs a good friend
Hello all, I'm currently in recovery for bulimia nervosa. I was officially diagnosed back in September, though I have struggled with eating disorders/disordered eating since I was 15.

Pilates
I am taking a pilates class at my university... tell me if I have this correct? at home, I have a pilates machine (haven't used it in a while, it's my mom's, actually) but the work I did on there was primarily core and leg workouts. Is this what I should expect out of the class, too?

Wanted: A Flat Stomach!
Okay, so my entire life I have always had a really pudgy belly...even in my photos of me as a toddler and in pre-school, my tummy jutted out. I cannot stress how sick and tired of it I am. My entire life (okay, only eighteen years, but still) I have had this problem...and once it was pointed out to me when I was eight (yes…

Eating Disorders (asking for help, not condoning them!)
Before you reply to this post, please do not get upset that I am bringing up this topic or ask me for "tips" because I am not "pro-ana" or "pro-mia" in any way. I can't help but wonder if there are any other people on here who are like me and are (and I say this loosely) bulimic. No, I have not been diagnosed, but I have…
