Single because....?
Hi everyone, I'm new to the group. So I just thought I would ask why everyone is single. I know why I am, I know it's because I have gained a lot of weight and don't really feel confident in my own skin. I was active duty military and got out 2 years ago. I started a job after that working anywhere from 12-16 hours a day…

Online Dating "Red Flags"
Good morning fellow single peeps! So I am semi-new to this whole online dating thing. I have great friends who have been doing it for years, and have had both good and bad luck. So my question to everyone that is or has done the online dating thing, what do you consider "red flags"? Mine are pretty simple: Posting a pic of…

Finally!
For the first time in three months I stepped on the scale and I had finally lost....and not gained! That is huge for me!! It wasn't a lot, but it's still a loss. The scale is finally going in the right direction! :smiley:

Lifting - where to begin
I apologize if this question has been asked, I didn't see it, or I missed it. So I want to start lifting....where do I begin? I have quite a bit of weight to lose and am definitely hitting cardio pretty hard, but want to start weight training. I am totally lost as to where to start and what to do. Thanks in advance!…

Random Question
So kind of a random question, but what would you do in this situation? There's a woman I work with and she had some guy stop by her desk to talk to her about a week ago about whatever, I don't know, something related to work. I noticed him, he seemed kind of cute. So I guess when he got back to his desk (he works in a…

Dr. Oz
Okay, this may stir up some heated comments, so I apologize in advance if anyone is offended by what I am about to say. I personally think Dr. Oz is a total quack. Granted, he is a great surgeon. But I think 90% of the stuff he says about weight loss and 3-day cleanse plans, etc is crap. I have friends that swear by him…

What would you do?
So I have gained about 25 pounds since November, and am headed to see my best friend and her husband for the first time since December (when I saw them, I had only gained like 5 pounds, so they haven't seen me since I have gained an additional 20). Her husband is incredibly judgmental and while he won't say anything to my…

My story
Well, it's 2015. Here I go again. I think I have been a member on this site since 2008-2009 and have re-started about a dozen times. Let me rewind a bit so you can understand my story from the beginning....(thank you in advance to those that read this, it's a novel!) I was active duty military from 2001-2013. Absolutely…

Running a Marathon
Hey everyone! So my ultimate fitness goal, besides losing weight, is to run the Ventura Marathon in September of this year. I have never ran a marathon, and the furthest I have ran at one time is 6 miles. I haven't started training yet, but am wondering if someone who hasn't ran in quite some time (over 2 years), is from…

Valentine's Day
Yep, I'm going to say it....I absolutely despise this holiday. Sorry all you happy couples that love it! It's probably because I'm single every Valentine's Day. Please tell me I am not the only one that cannot stand this holiday? :smile: :heart:

50 Shades of Grey
Alright, who's going to see it...and who are you going to see it with? :wink:

Lost my motivation
I was working out regularly (4-5 times a week for at least 2 hours) and then quit my job. I am no longer motivated. I have a new job lined up and am really anxious to get a new routine going, but I am still not motivated. I have gained 10 pounds (and I still needed to lose quite a bit before that) since Feb and I know it's…

Too much protein?
Hey all, I'm sure this has been a subject or question before but I haven't seen it in any of the pages I have looked through. So my question is, is there such a thing as too much protein? I have been working out quite a bit lately (a lot of cardio and weights) so I have been doing some protein shakes along with the regular…

Bored.....
So I hate to run, but I know I have to do it....especially since I am required to run for my PT test. But how do I make it more enjoyable? I always run with music, but it doesn't matter if I run on a treadmill, on a track, a trail or just around the neighborhood I get soooooo bored! Does anyone have any good tips to make…

NSV! : )
So I have been slacking off in the working out department for a little bit and then got back on track a few weeks ago. I started off slow, just doing a mile or two here and there but doing at least 30-45 minutes on the Elliptical. I hurt my foot last Monday and was out of commission and didn't want to really do anything…

Maybe this is a stupid question but......
So I used to run, have always hated it, but used to do it. I have been injured off and on for the past few years so I have to do low impact cardio (bike, elliptical, walking, etc). I have NO problem doing 90-120 minutes on the elliptical, the bike or walking. I am allowed to start running again, so my question is Why can I…

How do you track strength training?
Hey everyone, I have had no problems calculating my calories burned doing cardio, but how do you calculate caloried burned doing strength training? I do pushups, situps, and the weight machines at the gym. When I try to find it on here, I don't find any information. (Or maybe I am overlooking it?) Help please! Thanks!…

NSV for the day
So there I was, ready to go home after a LONG day at work debating on whether to go to the gym or just keep heading towards the direction of my house. I had already decided to make it my cheat day based on the lunch I had, so I just figured why not make it a complete day and make this my day off from the gym? Little did I…

How long does it take to gain weight after eating bad?
Hey everyone, I just have a quick question. I ate kinda crappy last Friday and Saturday, but since Sunday, I have my calorie intake back on track and have been burning more calories than normal with my exercise routine. However, I weighed myself yesterday morning and the scale said 181.2. I weighed myself again this…
