5:2 Lifestyle
Starting the 5:2 lifestyle today. You eat normally on five days a week and then 500 calories for two non consecutive days a week. Basically I'll be fasting for two days a week. I'm okay with this and I've heard that lots of people have success with it and carry it on throughout their lives. I'm trying to become aware of my…

back for the fourth time.. need serious motivation.
I started out at 160, lost 10, gained it back. I started again at 175, lost 12, gained it back. I started again at 190, lost 5, gained 25 pounds. This has been over the course of 4 years. I'm now starting back AGAIN at 210 lbs. I am 5'4'', 23 years old, married, struggling with overcoming depression, have a full time job,…

having trouble breathing.
Soooo, I've been a runner/soccer player my whole life. I stopped when I came to college 2 1/2 years ago and gained 30ish lbs. I walk regularly, and I've tried running and a combination of walking/running, but after about 10 minutes of running I feel like I'm about to pass out from the inability to breath. I've tried the…

Jiu Jitsu
I've been thinking about doing Jui Jitsu for a while, and I was wondering if anyone else has had any results with it? I want to do it not only for my fitness, but also for my protection, since I'm a 20 year old living alone in a college town.

The Hunger Games
Okay, so I never read while I exercise, but I'm getting tired of the same old ipod/running combination.. so I decided to buy The Hunger Games and take a swing at reading it. I took it to the gym with me, and while I was on the treadmill, I began reading. I completely lost track of time, and did the elliptical for 75…

getting in the bodpod and starting over
Tomorrow I am getting into the bodpod at my gym and I'm going to try to start over. These past two weeks have been absolute *kitten* for me. I have had ZERO motivation and I've gained back two pounds after losing 12. I'm hoping that seeing the results from my bodpod exam will give me motivation to get off of my *ss and do…

I need help with shorts!
I am a pretty large bottomed lady, and I cannot find shorts ANYWHERE that fit me. I have small hips, a large butt, and large thighs. I'm not ever going to be able to get rid of my thighs because I played soccer for 15 years and they're pretty much never going away. I just need some shorts that aren't skin tight around my…

I finally wore shorts!
Today, I wore shorts to run in at the gym (or anywhere else for that matter) for the first time in over a year and a half! I'm so proud of myself for getting my huge legs less huge! No, they're still not where I want them to be, but at least I gained the confidence to do what I did! Just wanted to share that little piece…

anyone else anemic?
I went to the doctor yesterday because I've been having insane amounts of nose bleeds due to the air being so dry in my house (I have a gas heater) and he said that I'm probably anemic. Then it dawned on me that I'm always dizzy and when I run I'm constantly feeling like I'm going to pass out. They drew blood and haven't…

shin splints
I have terrible shin splints and have for about 3 days. I mainly run on the treadmill, but I took a couple of days off and today I did some jumping jacks and they're back and worse than they were before.

hey y'all! okay, so tomorrow I'm starting my new job at a gym. I'm going to be taking care of people's kids while they're working out.

not ever feeling full
I started eating my recommended calories on Saturday, March 5. Before I started this, I ate HUGE portions.. like way more than I should have. Ever since I started this diet thing, I've been eating just under my calorie goal, and I haven't been feeling full at all. I was wondering if it's just because my stomach is so used…

and our winner is : the thick girl!
I was running my usual run today on the treadmill at my gym, and I had been running for about 20 minutes at 5.7 mph with a 6.0 incline, which is pretty normal for me (I've played soccer ever since I can remember, so I've run nearly my entire life). Anyways, I'm running along, minding my own business, when these two…

new to being a little over weight and I can't wait to shed i
I'm a college student, and before I came to college I never struggled with weight. I never thought I'd have to. I had heard about the "Freshman 15" and never, in a million years, thought it would happen to me.. but it did. It was actually a "Freshman 20..or 30" So now I'm on a quest to lose that 20 or 30 lbs and finally be…
