Can we talk about S-E-X? eek!
Sorry if this is TMI, but it's much easier to discuss here than with people I know well....ya know? I'm at my highest weight ever- 159 and I am 5' 3" female. My best weight where I feel healthy, fit and sexy is between 130-135. So...you can imagine I'm not feeling too in the mood to, er, get busy with the husband. He is…

Dealing with guilt
I am so focused on losing weight and getting in shape that I sometimes feel very guilty. It seems so selfish and unimportant when you think about all the suffering and real problems people have in this world. It's important to me to be healthy, but the time I spend focused on my body makes me feel such guilt that my…

Goodbye wine...I'll miss you
It is very hard for me to have just one glass of wine, so until I lose 10 lbs, no more wine. Are there any other "winos" out there?

New Diet study on the Today show this morning
They are saying low carb is more effective for weight loss than low fat. The other take-aways are eggs and "good" oils- olive oil and such are helpful to eat. I guess none of that is huge news, but it made me look at my food over the past few weeks and though I've been pretty good at staying within my calories, I could…

Difficult choice
If you could choose to instantly be at your goal weight, and be at that weight for the rest of your life without having to diet or anything, BUT it would mean you would die 5 years before you normally would.....would you do it?

Question about this site for tech savvy
Hi- I am NOT tech savvy at all....so I've noticed on some people's posts that they have a cool bar at the bottom showing how much weight they've lost, and it looks like you can personalize it with a photo. How do I do that?

Anyone have a spouse who has NEVER had weight issues?
My darling husband is blessed with genetics....he has never had a weight issue, and has always been at a perfect weight. He can eat anything he wants and not gain. In fact...he sometimes has to "remind" himself to eat. Seriously?? He is supportive of my continued efforts to lose weight and get in shape, but I know he does…

A delicate issue....need advice on how to handle
I go to bootcamp 3 times a week and I love it. Recently a woman joined and we struck up a conversation before class. She's about my age and I enjoyed talking to her, so when class started we were standing next to each other. Those of you who do boot camp know that you move in groups of 3-4 to different stations, but your…

Weekend remorse
UGH! I do bootcamp three days a week...midweek. I stick to my diet plan....then the weekend comes and I eat and drink way too much with friends, don't work out, don't track my food intake and generally feel like a complete loser Monday morning. I've done this two weeks in a row now. What is wrong with me?!

Hot flashes...HELP!
I wasn't sure where to post this. I'm just starting the super fun process of menopause and am experiencing hot flashes. They are especially bothersome when I'm in my bootcamp class! I've tried Estroven, which seemed to work for a few weeks, then it just didn't anymore. Someone recommended Vitamin E, but I have not tried it…

Bootcamp- I can't believe I like it!!
I hate gyms and hate working out. I don't mind exercise in general, but prefer to go bike riding or hiking. I signed up for a 6 week Bootcamp and I love it! It's fast paced, and our trainers are really nice...they don't push you past what you can do. There are people at all ages and levels, so I never feel intimidated. I…

How much alcohol do you consume?
In addition to adding calories, I have always read alcohol slows down your metabolism? Is this true? I wouldn't say I drink too much, but I usually have a vodka and diet tonic before dinner, then maybe a glass of wine (or two) with dinner. Not every night, but probably 4-5 nights per week on average. How much is this going…

Newish
Hi- I have actually been using this for a couple months, but just got SERIOUS about it two weeks ago when I also joined Fit for Life Bootcamp. Am now on track as I found just cutting calories was not working.
