hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia
Does anyone else struggle with this or similar condition? I currently teach water fitness classes so that I can get quality exercise without risk of overheating (plus, I love to swim). I would like to do more strength training, but am hesitant due to past experiences of heatstroke! Suggestions welcome....

American Ninja Warrior
I have become such an addict! Actually crying at the success just witnessed -- no spoilers!! Anyone else have a secret, or not so secret, desire to do this?

I am not in good enough shape to get into shape ;)
Ever notice how most days you go to the gym & kick *kitten* but, every so often, the gym kicks back??

Reasons you eat whatever it is you eat
I have 2 friends -a married couple- that have been vegetarians (not vegan) for more than 25 years. They recently made the decision to incorporate fish into their diet, but abstain from all other animal meat (pescatarian). Their decisions are based solely on nutrition, though they freely acknowledge that these decisions are…

Why can't I girl??
I just had a full 20 minute tutorial with my hairstylist to learn how to put my hair in a ponytail...yup, 44 years old & have never concurred the most basic updo! I sped home, rushed right to the bathroom to repeat these seemingly easy steps...the right side fell out before I left the room! 2 elastics, 13 Bobby pins & yet…

Sinus woes
Any one have any homeopathic sinus remedies? I have allergies from Hades and have tried all the RX routes and a plethora of over the counter meds, neti pot, allergy shots, steam, etc. I have also had 3 sinus surgeries! I just want to breathe!!

ISO modern day June Cleavers...
Is the mother that cooks dinner every night a thing of the past? I am 43 and the mothers of my generation prepared dinner for a family to gather together and enjoy as one. I cook dinner for my family every night. I work a full time job, I workout, I garden, and I cook. I was surprised to learn that, at least in my area, I…

mindset
I am not sure if this makes sense, but after focusing on losing for so long, holding at one steady weight almost feels like failing! Don't get me wrong, I intellectually know that maintaining is a very, very difficult thing; it is just about developing a new mindset and perspective. Any tips from those much more…

Swim Shorts
I am new, so I apologize if this has been discussed ad nauseum, but I am in need of comfortable swim shorts that don't "grow" when wet!

Goal in the rearview mirror
I am just weeks from my 1 year anniversary on MFP and I am happy to say that I hit my goal of losing 75# and am creeping up on the 80# mark - probably in time for my 1 year celebration! I am happier, healthier, and pretty darn proud of myself! Thanks MFP!

What is the worst thing you can say to YOU?
We all tend to be pretty hard on ourselves, sometimes even cruel! What self-defeating language are you ready to admit to and then put in your past for good?

Beer?
I clearly know to add the calories of the red wine used in Marsala sauce, etc but unsure of what to do when using beer in "Beer Butt Chicken" or when boiling brats in a beer & pepper mixture???

overheating...
I have a very serious issue of overheating! I don't even have to be exercising, it happens anytime I get too hot! I have tried working out in air conditioning, walking late at night or early morning to avoid high temps, but as soon as I get hot my face turns an unsightly purple (not exaggerating), I break out in a cold…

Any military moms or dads??
My only child, my son, is leaving for USAF in a few weeks. I know that there are special challenges and stresses that we could help each other through!
