Fitness with a badly sprained ankle
Hey everyone, I managed to sprain my left ankle quite badly on Friday night (while sleepwalking ;) My main mode of activity up until now has been walking, which I can't do right now for even short distances. I'm using a cane to get to/from the bus stop to get to/from work, which has given my ankle a bit of rest and making…

Just got my Vivofit yesterday, and am loving it
Hey, I just picked up a purple vivofit from the Mountain Equipment Coop (MEC) in Vancouver, Canada, and am finding it to be great...

losing weight while on psych meds

Bigger, and still doing yoga...
I'm a 'bigger' gal (around 200lbs at 5'7), and I'm looking to be able to find friends who are doing yoga on a regular basis regardless of their size, I'm one of those people who needs modify poses, because my body doesn't move in the 'right' way, and am often sweating like a hog during practice, and still LOVE IT!! Right…

Always going over on fiber... is this bad?
I'm just curious if going over on your fiber amount on a regular basis is alright.... I try to eat a lot of fruits, which often contain fiber, and I'm wondering if I should cut back on them, or if it's alright to leave them as is. :)

Recognizing others weight loss, but not your own
I always seem to find myself looking at others, and being so impressed by any weight loss that I say things like, "WOW... your weight loss is awesome!" or, "you look great" BUT when I lose weight I'm always thinking things like, "you could have lost more" or "That didn't make much of a difference" Is anyone else in the…

What do you wear to the gym/fitness classes?
Hey all... I'm just curious what you all wear to the gym/fitness classes, AND how do you feel in it? For me, I just started going to the YMCA and am still pretty big, but I decided yesterday to wear tighter pants and a tighter sports tank top. At first I was unbelievably self conscious, and kept thinking... "OMG I'm so…

looking for some support
I'm starting again, and looking for some mutual encouragement.... I started out at 5'7 weighing 232 lbs.... I'm now at 205.6, with a long ways to go.... my wake up call was sitting in McDs today eating a meal, and then getting this weird urge to check the calories on what I was eating, and WOW over 1000 calories in one…
