Serious question about push up bras
Hi people. I am losing weight well, and it's cool, I like that. But there is one thing that has changed, my boobs.

How Much has Trauma affected your weight?
This is a full disclosure discussion. RULES! No disrespect, no blaming, no judging. My story is that from about 10 my Mum would tell me how I had too much fat, or too chubby for this and that, that what I ate was inapproprate, wrong or making me fat and general comments on how undesirable or beautiful I was because of my…

Which shoes for...
I have a myriad of old injuries, mostly badly rehabilitated as the public health system failed me. Some including weak and "grinding" knees, uneven hips from breaking my right leg and my back in two places.

If you got one day at the gym...
I am living in a really far out suburb without transport, I get one or two days a week, if I am lucky, when I can convince my brother to take me to my gym. I am making this topic to see what would you do if you had just one day a week at the gym. PS I am looking for a place in a closer suburb, but it might be awhile. I…

But I have an unknown condition that is like chronic fatigue but not. I am going to a doctor, but they don't know what I can and can't do, they just say "Do what feels comfortable." But the problem is, not much feels "comfortable." I want to push myself at least a bit so I see results. There are certain exercises that I…

Totally not cool.
I am a kiwi girl, you know a girl from New Zealand. I am not sure if it is my culture or who I am or whatever, but I have never been asked out on a date. Is this a common thing?

Lighter weights/high reps vs Heavier weights/low reps
Okay so here is the thing. I used to be married to a fitness and nutrition nut. From the day we started our relationship he gave me (often unwanted) advice. When we worked out I used to do 2 sets of 6-8 reps for each of my weights exercises. Fast forward a few years, lots has happened I got really unwell and haven't done…
