Living with severe ulcers
After having my appendix taken out and plenty of tubes and needles put in me it's still a mystery why my stomach is so messed up. I have severe ulcers which I have to take medication for, but they also mentioned Barratts Esophagus which is some weird thing about the lining of the esophagus changing into the lining of the…

I'm here....again...for the third time
Third times a charm right? This is my third time coming back to here...and I need some SERIOUS motivation. The past year has been a rollercoaster ride between family, friends, relationships, work, and me. I've dropped the baggage that sucked me into a dark place and family is in OK place right now. As for me...I'm a work…

When is Leg day?
What is your routine? Trying to come up with a routine to walk into the gym and do. If I don't have a routine I walk around like a lost puppy. Do you combine legs with abs or just go hard on legs the whole time? I don't know how to go about this....but def need a routine before I walk into the gym otherwise it's the…

Leg day...arm day....what?
I'm trying to create a routine to make it easier to get up and exercise. I hate walking into the gym and trying to figure out "what do I want to do today?" And I usually end up just doing the treadmill and going home because I don't know what to do...what to focus on. I always see posts about awesome leg day! What type of…

Do you find it easy...
To get more motivated if you have short term goals in place (with rewards at the end)? After an exhausting and emotional break up I'm trying to keep my mind busy. What better way then to really focus on my fitness goals? Lets just say I haven't been concerned about them for awhile... I wrote a list of goals I'd like to…

So hungry after eating so much
I'm having a problem with being hungry even after eating throughout the day. I re joined weight watchers and I have...every day since...gone over my allowed points AND used up my weekly allowance by the second day.... I eat "snacks" throughout the day but still nothing keeps me full...these snacks range from carrots,…

Cross Fit shoes
Looking for a good pair of cross fit shoes. I ordered a pair but I don't like the fact that the tongue is attached. Anybody have a good pair of shoes they use for this type of work out?

At home routines?
I have a gym membership...but haven't been in months. It's only $10 a month so it doesn't hurt too much in my bank account. I'm also getting the Insanity discs. I just purchased an exercise mat and a kettleball... I have Zumba for my Wii... I'm looking for some at home exercises for when I don't feel like (which has been…

Best Gym Shoes
What shoes have you found are the best for your work out? What is your workout? I've used Nike Shox and Nike Pegasus. The Pegasus' are the only pair that haven't given me shin splints from using the treadmill. What works for you?

Pro Oxy Elite
One of my associates told me about a pill he had taken that helped him lose 6lbs in a few days. Now I know what you're saying, that's not healthy... I didn't notice a change in his body because he was already pretty fit but another guy we were talking with said he could tell his neck was smaller, both of these guys are gym…

Is this a disorder?
So...I was doing good during the week with my food intake (well better then what I was doing). But I've noticed that I eat (when I'm home) to eat, I don't eat when I'm hungry I eat to eat. I eat when there's nothing else to do. Is this a type of binge disorder? I don't keep busy a lot (I'm working on it) so I sit at home…

20 days and nothing to show for it...
I hit my 20 day log in mark and yet have nothing to show for loss. I've fluctuated gaining a pound or two and losing a pound or two and vice versa. A lot of personal issues have been going on that have left me unmotivated and extrememly emotional. I shouldn't use that as an excuse for not losing but that's more or less the…

Food shopping...for what?
I'm hitting the store AGAIN tomorrow, there isn't a lot of food in the house (even though the closet and fridge/freezer) are pretty much full. It's not full of good stuff. A lot of junk. I'll let the other people in the house eat it. I'm a big snacker, and usually eat when I'm bored. I've been using pinterest to find some…

Best exercies for toning...EVERYTHING
I'm FINALLY going back to the gym tomorrow. I had some guys from work helping me the last time I went buuuut I'm pretty sure they were trying to kill me. I did a lot of free weights and maybe 15-30 minutes cardio (stair master or treadmill on 12 incline) I've accepted the fact that I have thick thighs and although I'm not…

My body hurts... but not from working out
I had surgery 3 weeks ago and wasn't allowed to do any physical activity until I was fully healed. My incisions are pretty much just scars now. I've been on vacation since last Wednesday...and I haven't done anything, which I'm OK with, just wanted to chill out. HOWEVER I've honestly been laying in bed for 5 days now... my…

Gluten Free Help
A few weeks ago I went to the ER to get my appendix removed. Today I had another procedure, EGD (esophagogastroduodenoscopy) because I was still having pains in my stomach. Basically what they did was put me to sleep, put a scope with a camera and clamp down my throat to my small intestine. When I woke up the nurse went…

Thunda Thighs
How the helllllll do you get rid of thunda thighs? I've been called "thick" numerous times, guys always tell me that's a good thing but thick just makes me think of fat. I have curves for being so little, but I suffer from thunda thighs...my thighs always rub together, it's horrible wearing shorts, skirts, dresses...I'd…

Blah Blah Blah
So the past few days I've been packing my lunch. This comes from having lived paycheck to paycheck the past few months because of bills and eating out ALLLLLLL the time. I've packed pretty decent lunches and maybe I bought a little snack while at work. Yesterday while tracking my food on the app I was pretty excited that I…

What do you feel your fridge with?
I'm going shopping on Thursday for groceries and it seems like I waste a lot of money on things I never really eat. I buy fruits and veggies but I buy too much and it goes bad before I can get to it. I don't have a sweet tooth I have sweet teeth, I'm constantly craving sweets, mostly chocolate, and I usually over indulge.…

New....and Confused
I just signed up on this site today and got my results. I'm never good at tracking anything...ever. I suppose I need help learning the best way to track calories and carbs and fat...I use to do weight watchers a few years ago and it worked really well, but now that my life is a little more hectic and I don't always have…
