Crippling self confidence - help, please!
My new semester of college started yesterday, and the first day was a whirlwind of crippling self confidence. During the two hour gaps between my classes, I was wandering around campus trying to find the place with as little students as possible to just hide away. I went as far as tucking myself in a corner between a…

Smoothie recipes and advice?
So my next semester of college is starting in August, and I want to find an alternative to high-in-sugar-and-carbs energy drinks to start my days with. I absolutely love them but they are so bad for me. I also cannot stand the taste of sugar free energy drinks, so that option is out. I was thinking delicious fruit…

Lost and overwhelmed
I am very lost and overwhelmed at all the weight loss tips, advice, methods, diet plans and ideals, etc. on the internet. I really have no idea what I can do or not do because there is just so much information that contradicts, conflicts, and confuses.

What happened to his horse?
This is a song title game - the last song you listened to (or one you think would fit) is the response. (Like the "[song name] in my pants" game.) I'll start What happened to his horse? Ridin' dirty

Good bicycling & cardio habits?
I'm really very new to bicycling and cardio, I've sat on my butt for most of my life, dangerous neighborhoods prevented going outside like normal children. I never really learned any good bicycling habits or walking, jogging or running habits. A friend of mine had been coaching me in a way, telling me how to roll my foot…

How do I know I'm losing weight without a scale?
An important question, how do I know I'm losing weight without a scale? The entire reason I started this diet was I was tired of being fat & unhappy, and I couldn't fit into my work jeans, but although I feel better, healthier and I have more energy now that I'm eating less and exercising more, sometimes my work jeans will…

I'm out of control
Hi everybody! My name's Sasha, or FitDoge (I like dogs.) I'm 19, and I didn't grow up in good conditions at all, and I've been homeless quite recently, and all of it's come to a nervous, stress-eating head. It's super hard to admit it and I'm very embarassed but my stress-eating has gotten way out of control. I'm buying…
