Trying to come up with a new website name
Here's what I want the title to emit: girlishness but not contain the word girl women etc, health (both mental and physical), nutrition (so something with a natural feel), and fitness (so a little powerful) Anyone wanna help??
I need support....
I was on MFP for about a year and felt a really close connection to people, and a really strong community. Then I quit getting on as much because of job/school/life/etc. Anyway, I came back and admitted I messed up, but I feel like my sense of community is gone. Its like high school...everyone has their cliques already and…
Help With Knees
Hey all! I've been having this nagging and unbearable knee pain since about November. Finally went to the Orthopaedic Dr. last week who said that I have knees that tilt inwards and arthritis under my knee caps (I'm only 23!!!) Anyway, he said no running for a MINIMUM of 8 weeks while I do physical therapy. He also said…
more like a "re"introduction
I'm not new, but I'm newly trying. I joined awhile back and got great benefits from MFP. I never have had that much weight to lose, but I've been needing to increase cardiovascular fitness BADLY and really would like to tone up. Anyway, I was avidly using MFP then life got in the way. New job, new place, new dog, etc. etc.…
I need friends, please :(
I hate to do this desperate attempt at gathering MFP supporters, I never thought I'd be 'that girl'. I've beeon on MFP for a little over a month and it has been amazing. Unfortunately, I joined because of a girl that I was "friends" with and I quickly found myself getting pissed off at her statuses and jabs at my progress,…
Body Fat Percentage...?
I was reading my magazine today and it says women should aim for 14-18% body fat. Is this accurate?
Health Coach?
Hey, have you guys heard of "Health Coaching" or the Institute for Integrative Nutrition? Is this stuff legit? Is it an actual career path that one could be successful in?
guest post help
I'm going out of town for 10 days-ish, and I'm looking for people to do guest posts on my blog! If you're interested send me your story, pictures, and a link to your blog if you have one. Good way to help out a fellow MFPer (me :) !) and drive some traffic to your own blog if you have one. Doesn't have to be success…

Need Some Help...Any takers?
So, I have this blog (www.thequestforfitness.com) and I'd really like to start reaching out to a bigger crowd. In my efforts to appeal to more people, I've decided that I want to start doing a book club type idea. Sort of like our challenges on MFP. For example, like reading a diet or motivational book together and then…
rawgust
Is anyone doing "Rawgust"? (Raw food only for the month of august)
21 Day Challenge...Who is with me?
21 days....three weeks....not even a month....You can do ANYTHING for 21 days right? This is a different kind of challenge, this is a self-esteem challenge. I challenge you to do ONE thing (make your bed, clean the shower, pushups, jumping jacks, running, vacuuming, whatever) for 21 days and give it your absolute all.…
1/2 Marathon Training
I hear so many different people recommending the same 3 programs ( c25k, galloway, hidgon)....but what is REALLY the best way to train for a half? Currently I'm doing my own run/walk intervals based on what feels appropriate for me. I'd like to follow a specific plan, but a) most are 12-14 weeks and I want much longer than…
Fundraiser for Alzheimer's Association
Hey guys! I just decided (yesterday) to start training for my first half marathon, and I thought what better way to not back out than to use it to raise money for my favoirte organization: Alzheimer's Association. My grandfather passed away from this disease in 2005 and my grandmother is currently in the nursing home and…
Disney Princess Half Marathon
So, I just started running, and I've only done one 5k so far...but I really want to run the Disney Princess Half in February of 2012...is that even realistic? Also, does anyone have any training tips? I"ve never trained for anything before! Any women who are running this or want to run this add me! I could use some support…
