The last binge
I binged last night for the first time in awhile and I've resolved to say goodbye to bingeing for good. However, my fall-out last night has reminded me that I might need some help. If you can, when was your last binge and what tips can you give for making it your last one?

Good iron supplements
Hello all! I'm always running low on iron, and find that I get consistently weak during certain parts of the day or when I haven't eaten in awhile. Know any good supplements that might help? I try to consistently sneak more iron into my diet btw, with leafy greens, red meat, and legumes.

Eating paleo
I've heard a lot on this site and others about eating paleo and I was wondering if anyone had any information on it. I was just wondering what it's all about and what it's like, benefits and drawbacks, etc.

I can't wake up!!
I work out best in the morning, especially considering an hour commute to work and an early workday start (I generally work from 7:30am-5:00pm). By the end of the day, I'm exhausted....but I still have to fit in an hour workout. I've been diligently setting my alarm for 6:00am in order to fit it in early, but I find myself…

rest or push through it?
Woke up with a pretty bad cold this morning (I've been trying to push it off for the past couple of days to no avail). I just tried to start my workout for the day and felt utterly exhausted about 30 minutes into the hour-long DVD. My body feels like it needs a major nap, but I know exercise might help. Should I push…

Need new healthy food ideas!
Hi guys! I'm starting to get a little bored of my current shopping list, and I was wondering if anyone had any favorite healthy picks of their own that I could try. I love anything ethnic or out-of-the-ordinary, and will eat pretty much anything as long as it's yummy!

Vertigo...not kidding.
Think I'm going crazy here, but I've been having bouts of vertigo since around 10am this morning. I only had a couple of glasses of wine to drink last night (that would be the usual culprit), and I actually fell over a few minutes ago so I'm getting worried. Anyone had any experience with this before? Strange topic for a…

Running motivation
I was a pretty avid runner until early last year, and I can't seem to get up the motivation to include it back in my workout arsenal. Come on everyone, how do you stay motivated to run and how do you get that motivation back after you've lost it? It's such a good stress reliever/burn!

Trying to move past former stopping points..
I'm one of those people who gains and looses the same 5-10 lbs every year. I'm getting closer and closer to my "happy weight", which is around 135. I call it my happy weight because this is where I start to feel good about myself and start to get lax. Before you know it, I'm back up to 145 again. This time, I wanted to…

I Don't Believe in Counting Calories on Thanksgiving
Hello all, There have been a lot of posts regarding Thanksgiving calories and ways to make Thanksgiving items healthy. Honestly, I'm not sure that watching calories on Thanksgiving is healthy...mentally healthy. I've seen way to many friends and family members cringe (and even cry, yell, or otherwise freak out) when they…

How did you do?
Well, at least it was only one day. Did great at dinner, one plate, only one glass of wine....and then after all of the family stress went out with equally stressed friends and well, went crazy. But all in all, feel ready to start today anew (and a family member did say that I looked smaller!). How did you guys do?

Scared to weigh myself
I'm sure a lot of you guys feel the same way, but I've always been scared to weigh myself. I get really fixated on the number and beat myself up if it's not what I want, and in the past I've had some issues with becoming obsessive about the scale. I want to focus on being healthy, but I'm scared for my first weigh in. I'm…

Went over last night
Have been doing great all week, keeping it below 1200 (well, right at it anyway). Got to the end of my night last night, feeling stressed and I had that extra beer...and the extra 110 cals. Do you know how depressing it is to see that red mark at the end of the day? Just had to get that out there....don't want to beat…

Mental Health
I think that sometimes we get a little obsessed with counting calories and exercise and we forget to work on our mental health...for many of us, that means examining why we overeat or don't take care or ourselves, or even trying to eat more in order to establish a more healthy relationship with food. What are your tips for…

Do you ever feel deprived?
Whenever I start eating healthy, I get a little sad and honestly, a little scared that I'm depriving myself. I don't want to live a life watching every bite or counting every calorie, but at the same time I want to get fit and be healthy. Sometimes I feel like I'm missing out because I can't have that extra drink or the…

Puppy
How on earth do I get my puppy to understand that when I'm doing pushups I'm not trying to play? So distracting (even if it is cute)!

Small victories
I know that this isn't that big of a deal, but last night I managed to go out to eat, go out with friends and get a little tipsy....all without sacrificing my calories. I think that this is one of the first times I've ever done this. I stared down the bar cheese fries and ignored them!

Drinks!
How do you resist the temptation to have more than a couple drinks when out with friends? Even the lightest drinks eat up my calories! Any suggestions on light drinks are always welcome too...:smile:
