Any Aerial Hoop / Aerial Artists out there??
Hey! So I'm getting into aerial hoop (LOVING the results so far!) and was wondering if there was anyone else getting into the aerial arts as well? Thought it'd be nice to make a little network to share goals, improvements (body wise & in terms of overall fitness) and help each other with any issues. I'm hoping there is at…

Can you 'make' hips in the gym?
I am very obviously wider at my thighs than my hips. And yes I have the dreaded 'hip dip'. Can you build up hips through exercise? Or if you don't have it genetically is it just not achievable? Before and after pictures of any success stories would be amazing!

Women weights based workout; where to start? Routines?
I'm interested in starting a routine that mostly involves weights, I don't like myself 'skinny' and want to add to my shape (the bigger the butt the better!). I definitely need a set routine but the Strong Curves book seems too expensive to me despite good reviews; I want to keep it as an 'at home' routine. I have dumbells…

What things trigger YOU to wreck your eating habits?
Was just thinking about this! Eg: I'm sitting here eating a bag of chips because I've been trying to organise a birthday celebration for myself and none of my friends seem interested in the least. :grumble: So what little things cause you to throw all your good eating habits out the window??

Anyone else find it hard to be satisfied with their body?
I see progress, but I don't feel any happier with myself. If anything I was more comfortable in my own skin 10kg ago! I'm eating healthy, exercising regularly; but hapiness has decreased for me. Anyone else find this kind of mindset creeping in? And no I don't have any DSM version of body dismorphia.

Products that up circulation / body temp; do they work?
I'm talking workout belts, compression shorts, etc. Does increased circulation / sweating / temperate in an area help 'shift' stubborn fat cells / activate the muscles? Someone with actual knowledge and not just 'no' would be great. haha I KNOW YOU CAN'T SPORT REDUCE before anyone gets onto that.

Ho to kill a Chocolate cake craving in minimal calories?!
Most of the time one or two squares or chocolate will kill this craving. But not at the moment! One of the downsides of being a female. Suggestions?

21 year old Law student in Melbourne looking to fit up a bit, but some help and encouragement (giving as much as getting) would be great! Anyone else in a similar boat?

Relationships v weightloss / health
it seems to get mentioned within other threads quite a lot! Did your relationship effect your lifestyle change? Or did a relationship encourage you to change? I'm just curious to know.. Personally I'm finding my relationship feeling different (not so much in a good way) since I've changed my lifestyle and become more…

Cheat Day-ers: Do you struggle to eat right again?!
I let myself have a full on 'cheat day' a couple of days ago, chocolate overload! And now I'm craving and struggling to stay under my calories. And I was doing so good pre-cheat day and had NO interest in cake, chocolate etc! Advice? Does anyone else experience this?!

'Vanity Sizing' ; help or hindrance??
I am about a 8-10 in Aus sizing (so 2-4 American) and I am too small for many stores. No joke. I brought a skirt marked an Aus 6 and was super excited, then only to find by it's conversion that was an American 2 so really an 8 here! It is ridiculous that someone of my 'normal' size has to by XXS-S clothing. I have to get…

Fads; what have you tried to lose weight / shape up?
I'm talking juice-detoxes, SkinnyMeTea, protein products, caffeine body scrubs... Bad experiences? And any good ones? haha

Motivating visceral fat loss??
Let me preface this with: I KNOW YOU CAN'T SPOT REDUCE. I feel I am stuck at the dreaded 'skinny-fat' stage, I have about 3lb left to lose and that's all around my mid section! My ribs are just visible and legs, arms and back fairly toned, but my midsection is a pudgy and undefined mess. I've been lead to believe that…

Is it cheating to count my walk to and from the gym?
I generally walk a good hour or so out of the day to and from uni, the train, supermarket etc, good part of not having a car! I've never considered counting that. Even though I have my activity levels set fairly low. However it's a good 20-30 minute walk to and from the gym, so is it cheating to count that? Does anyone…

Best exercises for a round booty?
I know there's: -Squats (with weights or without) -Lunges (as above) -Leg press with wide & high stance -Steps But what else? They get a bit repetitive and don't feel like they're giving me the all around package if that makes sense. haha Thanks! :) P.S Exercises for smoothing down my inner thighs would be great too!…

Women: Who else looks better out of clothes than in them?!
Naked or in my underwear I feel sexy and confident about my body! But as soon as I try to get dressed all my confidence is shattered. Nothing flatters my body. I have a slightly odd shape but nothing crazy.. I was hoping someone else out there has this problem??
