Running, pull ups and flexibility questions
I am new-ish to running. I spent my entire life skinny fat (skinny but unhealthy and would walk the track when I was in school for 20 min miles) and then I actually got fat after taking antidepressants and having a kid and was super unhappy with myself. Now I have a significant amount of weight I have lost (still more to…

How do I know when I am at a good weight?
I have now lost 45 pounds, I am also now in a "normal weight range" and not considered overweight by my BMI. I would still like to lose 10-15 more pounds and continue to build lean muscle but maybe not hit as hard and be as strict with calories. Both my husband and best friend say I have lost enough (because I am tall) but…

frustrated with water drinking
So I have been doing pretty good at staying under my cals, eating healthier, exercising a ton and all of that but my biggest thing is I hate water. Everyone has been telling me I need to drink more (as of the other day I was only drinking about 2-3 cups a day) so I set some time limits and drank a cup every 2 hours up…
