Need a new scale. Help please.
I'm looking for an accurate and reliable electronic scale but the options are overwhelming. I'd prefer plastic because I don't have much space and need to move and store it between uses. Any recommendations? Thanks!

Body Image Struggles - Still Seeing the Fat Person in Mirror
Today I tried on some clothes from a normal store that doesn't sell plus size clothes and was shocked when they fit (this isn't the first time that's happened though, I've been able to shop in the regular department for a while now). I looked in the mirror and I thought "I look disgusting" but it wasn't that the clothes…

Need a good strength program
Before I started losing weight I wore a size 22 bridesmaid dress in my friend's wedding and I hated everything about it including the condescending comments about how "well I wore the dress" while the skinny girls got told how pretty they looked. I'm going to be a bridesmaid again in a wedding next spring and I'm not…

Being Brave, Confronting How I Got Here
I have a history of keeping my feelings and struggles to myself (or maybe to my fridge is more accurate). I grew up being bullied as far back as I can remember and I was always afraid of being judged as a result. But that is one of the many things that got me here that I am trying to fix. The low point that led me to…

Suits for Women?
Hi ladies, I have an interview coming up and my old suit doesn't fit. Yay but also not-so yay because I am job hunting and therefore don't exactly have a budget for new clothes. So, I have two questions. 1) Does anyone have any experience getting their suit taken in after losing weight? My old one is pretty nice so I'd…

Occupational VS Physical Therapy?
I have an interview coming up at a school that teaches occupational therapy. I've googled it, read articles, watched videos, etc. But I'm still not sure I understand what the real distinction is between occupational and physical therapy? They seem really similar.

Preparing for First 2 Hour Long Class?
Tomorrow night I'm challenging myself to take a 2 hour Bokwa ( http://youtu.be/y_soxJDXAFE) class. When I started off exercising 15-20 minutes was hard and now I'm up to an hour pretty easily. I know this will be hard and the class will definitely be high intensity, fast-paced, and non-stop because I've had this instructor…

Workout Shoes for Plantar Fasciitis? Any recommendations?
Hi everyone, I have Plantar Fasciitis and my doctor told me the shoes I've been wearing aren't helping matters. I need to find a shoe that provides good support overall but especially in the arch and I also need to do it on a budget, say roughly $65 or under. With the trend of "barefoot style" running shoes that's been…

Is it normal to need less sleep?
Weird question and wasn't sure where this should go but this seemed like the best category. After eating better and exercising consistently for a few months I've noticed I seem to need less sleep. I know, I know that's not something to complain about and I'm not, it's just a bit odd and I can't decide if it's actually that…
