What do you do for a living?
And is it conducive to your healthy lifestyle? I am a probation officer, college student, and mom. I spend many days at my desk sitting and stressed and it takes a toll on my goals. So tell me, what do you do?

I just tried a 5x5 for the first time...
I have been weight lifting for a couple of months now but each week, I get more involved. This week, I tried doing a 5x5 approach to squats. I have not had REAL doms in my legs after squats the past couple of weeks. I tried this approach with lower weight than I am used to and worked up to my last set of the weight I have…

Can I eat them there mushrooms?
So, I was pulling weeds out of my flower bed and noticed a ton of mushrooms growing around in there. I live in Ohio if that helps. I have tried searching online but I want to make absolutely sure they are safe to eat. Can anyone tell me of a website to go to or your experience with wild mushrooms? I am a mushroom freak and…

I hit a new fitness milestone today!
I had a huge sweat spot on my shirt! No seriously, I know this is super lame but when I go to the gym, I always have sweat marks on the arm pits of my shirt. I am always looking at the people who are covered in sweat and wonder how on Earth they sweat so much! Well, today, I walked into the locker room and started…

Calorie Counting
OK, so I ordered (or rather my husband did instead of just going out and buying one) a food scale that took FOREVER to get here! Now that it is here, I weigh everything. I am wondering, I usually eat eggs in the morning. Scrambled without any cooking oils or added anything. Prior to my scale arriving, I would log them as…

Disgusting dirty food!
What are your favorite nasty dirty foods that other people would find utterly repulsive? Mine are Andy Capp's Cheddar Fries and gas station pizza.

Working out on sore days
So, I have upped my weight during my routine this past week and yesterday, my husband and I did a LOT at the gym (LEG DAY!). Today, needless to say walking is a chore, and by shoulders, arms, and back are still very sore but it's been a couple of days since I trained upper body. We are still headed to the gym tonight. What…

Welcome!
I have been struggling with anxiety disorder for most of my life as a result of genetics and abuse. I am still learning to cope with this but the most difficult part for me is medication. I feel some days like medication (I have been taking for 3 years) has fried my brain but I can't stand the panic attacks either. Does…

My sad story that I just had to get out of my system.
I had really bad anxiety last night. I worry about the dumbest things. I'm afraid of everything. Everyone has told some of their story and the only way I feel a little better is if I can tell mine. I hope you guys don't mind me being heavy for a minute but I don't go to therapy (which I probably should). I was abused by my…

Planet Fitness
I have been going there for a couple of weeks. Oy. I already knew about their "issues" prior to going but they are so affordable! Anyone ever set off that dreaded alarm? Oh, that pizza on the table as I walk in ready to work out and a bowl of Tootsie Rolls is just a bad idea. Forget the pizza, who wants to eat that then…

This is my first "group"
I decided to join a group or two and when I scrolled and saw this group I thought, "hey, that's me!" The last time I lost weight (before going on a binge and gaining it all back and then some) I had lost 17lbs and had barely had a preservative pass my lips in months. Suddenly I fell off the wagon and here I am nearing…

Please tell me I'm not the only one....
Every. Single. Time I eat Greek yogurt, my throat feels sore while I am eating it and shortly after. Almost that soreness you get after you throw up (sorry, only way I could think to compare it). I have never had a food allergy that I know of and it doesn't happen with other yogurts, or at least, not that I have noticed.…

Anyone dehydrate food?
Hi everyone! I am thinking of getting a dehydrator and trying out some fruit chips. Does anyone else do this? How do you log these types of fruits after they have been dehydrated? I am desperate for a yummy, healthier option for an office snack.
