Nauseous and Lifting
I recently changed lifting plans and on certain days now part way through my workouts, I feel like I'm going to be sick.

How do You warm up?
I'm switching to a new lifting plan that is more intense than my old one and was wondering what everyone here does to warm up.

So I'm about a month into eating healthier and I've been having some problems. I find that shortly after I've finished eating, I start getting this terrible stomach ache. It literally feels as if I'm starving and it is so bad that my back hurts too. I'm honestly not sure what's going on and wasn't sure if anyone here has…

A work in progress
Hello All! I'm a 27 year old Texan named Michelle and am absolutely tired of the body I have! I'm only 5 feet tall yet I weight nearly 160 pounds. I've reached a point where when I look at myself in the mirror, I am absolutely disgusted. I went from being an extremely skinny teen/young woman (at 18 I weighted under 100…
