Thread: 30-somethings looking for random active friends.
I could use a few more active friends. I know others are looking as well. The walls/threads are overwhelming when all you see are profile pics and names with very little to go on.

So what foods trigger your headaches?
So what foods trigger your headaches? I’ve been experiencing almost daily headaches for over a year. Recently, they started to turn into migraine headaches.

Any advice for a newby runner?
I just started couch 2 5k training on a treadmill (there is already a ft of snow outside). I havent really run in about 15 yrs, since highschool.

Looking for a few friends too
Hey there. I am also looking to add some people to my support network. I've gone looking thru the previous threads but will admit it ends up being overwhelming trying to find people to add who might match who/where I am at.

*Diet* Cheesecake for those that just cannot resist dessert
You could lighten these up a bit by using light cream cheese if you wanted, but 141 Calories per muffin cup is not a bad treat. Plus the protein from the greek yogurt makes them healthy, or at least more nutritionally viable. They arent especially sweet, but you could top them with some sugar-free fruit spread if you…
