Yay NSV
I knew my bras were all too big, but didn't want to get new ones because I didn't want to grow out of them and waste money. My husband talked me into just going to get re-fitted so we could see where I was at. I am back down to the size I was before the car accident and the hell that ensued after! This really helped me…

Activity Level?
Mine is currently set to sedentary. I am doing at least 30-60 minutes of cardio every day. I'm not going over my calories, and not really losing weight. Should I try setting it to lightly active and see if I start losing again?

Cheat Day Irony
I was talking to my husband this past weekend, and had a ironic realization. On my cheat day, where I don't track anything, I end up eating LESS than I do when I do track. I find it so easy to go back to starving myself, even now. I am still going to have my cheat day, because having a day where I'm not glued to the…

NSV #2
I have been wanting to RUN since I started this journey. My doctors told me I wouldn't be able to run again when I was 13 because of birth defects in my knees. Being a former sprinter, it was devastating to me. Now, 14 years later, I RAN! I did Day 1 of the C25K without stopping and with very little pain! I really truly…

Feeling Kind of Frustrated
First of all, this is NOT a RELIGION post. I just has to do with my frustrations regarding the treatment of others on my Facebook page. I get it, people made a mistake with this whole Rapture thing and whatnot. They became misguided. A lot of my non-religious friends keep posting about it, mocking them and making fun of…

Frame Size and Healthy Weight
I found this extremely interesting. Turns out that for my frame size (large) a healthy weight for me is right around 160 for 5'7" http://www.healthcentral.com/diet-exercise/ideal-body-weight-3146-143.html The BMI would say I'm still overweight, or close to. I am inclined to lean more towards this, since me at 120 is scary…

Fats
I am trying to get closer to my fat daily goal without eating bad fats. I am not a big fan of nuts (bad teeth) and the avocados at the store were worse than pathetic. I am also trying to watch my sodium so that I don't retain water, and it's coming up on TOM. UGH. I want to eat a package of cookies soooo badly right…

Fibromyalgia and Exercise
Hello! I have fibromyalgia, but I do enjoy exercise. I am just curious if I should ease myself into going every day or just go every day and hope I don't have a flare up. I tried to do 2 days in a row, an hour each day and almost passed out after 30 minutes the second day. So frustrating to not be able to do what I want…

NSV!
So, I was going through my underbed boxes of clothes, seeing if I had things that might possibly fit. I found a bunch of underwear in there, brand new, about half of it fits, so I'm down from a size 10 to about a size 8! Then I found shorts. I looked at the tag, size 14. I thought to my self, "NO WAY these will fit. None"…

Abs
Hello! I am kind of curious about different type of ab exercises that I would physically be able to do. I injured my back in a car accident and smashed the discs in my thoracic spine a few years ago. Situps and crunches cause me a lot of pain, as does anything that puts a lot of pressure on my back. I want to get rid of my…

Looking for Friends
I am looking for people I can relate to. I admit I thrive on the social aspects of this website. If you're going to tell me that I am here for the wrong reasons, please don't bother. I do not need people who are going to be negative and snarky. I can do that to myself on my own. I really need people who will help motivate…

Insomnia and Working Out
Hey all, I am just wondering if you should still go work out after a bout of insomnia. I went to bed around 6am, it is now 11:30am and I am awake again. I am completely drained, but feel guilty about not going to the gym. I just don't know if it's a safe idea or not. Thoughts?
