Fitness victory!
I tend to always run the same route because I don't usually carry my phone with me and I've already got the distance figured out. There's this construction site on that route, and today when I ran past it, I heard the workers commenting how they often see me run there and some of them tipped their hats to me as I was…

Free yoga videos online?
Anyone know any good ones? The only requirement is that they really need to be free, 'cause I'm a broke student. And even if I weren't, I still wouldn't pay for a workout.

Body weight exercises?
Could anyone recommend some? I'm not very interested in being super-strong or lifting heavy (or lifting of any kind), but I find body weight exercises to be almost fun. The only problem - I don't know a whole lot of them.

Is my scale wrong or what?
I reached my lowest weight in two years back in August. I managed to stay there for about a month and a half, and then around the beginning of October, it went up 8 pounds over the course of like 10 days, and since then it's consistently stuck around there. But what confuses me is that my measurements are exactly the same…

The farthest you ever traveled for a concert?
Me, last January I went from Paris to Munich for Alex Max Band (he used to be the singer of The Calling, if anyone still remembers that band) last January. It was a nearly eight hour train ride there on a Thursday after school and I had to skip school the day after because there was no way I could make it back in time even…

What flavor(s) go well with lemon in desserts?
In a couple days I'll have someone who loves lemon coming over and I'd like to bake something a little bit nicer than plain lemon muffins for her, but I have no idea what other flavor would go well in there. Especially because my person won't eat anything with coconut I don't like lemon so I never experiment with it. Can…

How to care for a hamster?
My baby brother just returned from a trip and brought me a living hamster! He's so cute (the hamster, haha) and I've wanted any kind of a pet forever, but I honestly have no clue how to care for it. Anyone have any tips I could use?

Soy vs. thyroid
Hey! I know I've already asked this in tips and tricks, but I only got one response, so I'm curious to hear more input. I know soy as a goitrogenous food isn't recommended for people with low thyroid function, but what's the guideline for those who have had their thyroids completely removed? My uneducated guess was that I…

Hello everyone, new one here!
He! I'm Martine, 18 years old, and I'm from France. Here's my story, if anyone's interested. Being completely healthy is a concept unknown to me. I have been struggling with asthma since early childhood, I basically learned to live as the kid who's always sick. I was also diagnosed with hyperthyroidism at a ripe old age of…

30 Day Shred
If I do one cardio-strength-abs interval, then pause the video for however long I need to steady my breathing and do a quick warm-back-up, move on to the second interval and pause again before the last? As in, could the resting time cancel out the work I'm doing? I have asthma and if I try to do it without pausing, I get…

Am I doing enough exercise?
Right now I'm doing the 25 minutes of the 30 Day Shred, and another half an hour or so of pilates. Is that enough? Normally there would be a lot of walking thrown in there too, but it's freakin' cold these days and I'm so not getting out if not absolutely necessary, but I feel like I'm lazing off.

Sour taste in mouth after eating?
Lately I've been getting a sour taste in the back of my mouth, just where the throat begins, after food. It's milder after fruit and raw veggies, and worse after carb-heavy items such as chocolate or bread, but it's almost inevitably there after eating. I don't feel it immediately after eating, more like half an hour…

Dropping inches and clothing sizes, but not weight???
I really don't get it. I started a weight loss plan in September 2011 and have since dropped about 10 kg out of my goal 20 kg. But ever since late November, the scale hasn't gone down a bit, even though I followed my diet plan diligently, didn't go overboard with cheat days (Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's) and…
