The most efficient time for me to strength train?
I'm a cardio fitness instructor. While I do know quite a bit about fitness in theory I'm not great about practicing what I preach and have neglected strength training. My doctor wants me to start lifting to combat an autoimmune issue, but my schedule is already packed with high intensity cardio classes (and the occasional…

Quadriceps Pain
Alright, so Saturday morning I was developing a new dance routine that involves dropping quickly down into a squat. My quads were stiff and achy by the afternoon, hurt all yesterday, and still hurt today! Going down stairs is a special kind of torture. Does anyone have any tips on quick recovery, or should I just ice,…

Today's NSV!
My NonScaleVictory: Today I ordered a large sub at the sub shop and the girl working, gave me a weird look, then got out the sub roll and asked if I really wanted a large. I was like, "yeah I'm splitting it with my dad, nbd." not much but it made me feel pretty thin that people think that there's no way I could possibly…

Funny (Embaressing) NSV
Soooo I wore a dress to work today ( no tights) and I was running up the stairs to my office and suddenly my panties started to slip off and I couldn't grab them because I was carrying a box of files and they fell right down around my ankles.

Is losing weight more diet or more exercise?
Alright. I'll admit it. I eat badly. I eat processed junk food for most meals BUT I always eat within my calorie limit. I exercise everyday for at least and hour, usually more (high impact Zumba, jogging, walking, eliptical, yoga ect.) I've been in a long plateau, and recently I've upped my calorie intake, started eating…

Advice on Anorexia due to Depression?
So, my bf is struggling with clinical depression and due to this (or I suppose it could be the medication he's on) he doesn't eat. Like yesterday, he ate a few pieces of bacon, a latte ( he bought a donut too, but he just kind of carried it around with us all day), a mini chocolate bar, a black coffee and a bite of an egg…

Ok, this is ridiculous.
Alright kids, here is my deal. I have been on a "diet" (not a strict one- more of a watch what you eat, try not to eat much over 1200-1300 calories and get a decent amount of exercise lifestyle.) for about five years now. It wasn't very difficult for me, and I maintained a sized 8/6 (I'm 5'7"). I joined this site months…
