New job- should I change my activity level?
I recently started a job in retail, which means I am on my feet for long periods of time, cleaning, organizing, and running around. BUT- I only work a few days a week, should I change my activity level, or should I log it?

Are YOU a musician? Come join this thread! :D
I want to see how many people on this site are musicians! Like those of you who play instruments, sing or anything of the sort. Even dancers are musicians of sorts in my opinion :) I personally play the piano, guitar, ukelele, I had a go at the trumpet once (I'm horrible), and I REALLY want to learn the drums. Oh, I also…

Going vegan... need help!
So I've decided to go vegan, but I'm going to be completely upfront and say I have absolutely NO knowledge on this subject. Can some intelligent vegans and/or intelligent individuals in general give me some tips, tricks, and foods that I might not know aren't vegan?

Birth control increased appetite HELP!
I recently switched from a birth control shot, depoprovera, to a pill, aviane, and a couple things have been happening that I do not take kindly to. 1. I have been very bloated since I started the pill 2. I feel like my appetite has increased since starting it. I have only been on it for a little over a week, so will these…

Maintenance calories+30 day shred=??
I am 5'7 and 120 lbs, so pretty thin. I still have a small layer of fat around my middle, but I don't want to lose weight anywhere else so I am currently eating maintenance. Will the shred still be affective doing this? Especially since I am already thin?

misconceptions about eating disorders.
1. Girls with eating disorders do it to be skinny- If we (I am recovered, I'm saying we to make a point) only did it to be skinny, it would stop a lot sooner than it does for most of us. We wouldn't risk our lives, starve ourselves, put ourselves through ridiculous amounts of pain just to look a certain way. It is about so…

venting about my ed, move along unless you are open minded.
When I was thirteen, I was 5'6 and weighed 110 lbs. I was naturally this way- the kind of girl who could eat three big macs, a large fry and wake up the next day smaller and hungrier. I was convinced that my body would stay like that forever, and that i was blessed. but when I entered high school obvious changes began to…

the legitimacy of starvation mode. (possibly triggering)
I was just wondering if starvation mode actually exists... I am recovering from an eating disorder, and at one point I ate around 200 calories a day and was losing around 2 lbs every three days. I did not get skinny fat, and my weight loss did not stall. I kept at this for a few weeks, until I obviously got very sick and…

Anorexia.
My previous topic was locked because of some ignorant comments, and I just want to post this one to clear the air. When I said the slogan 'real women have curves' was bogus, I meant that it was hurtful. A woman is a woman whether she is 100 lbs, or 400 lbs. She is a woman whether she has rolls falling out of her pants, or…

Makeup or no makeup? what is better?
I barely wear any makeup, I wear a bit of cover up, mascara, and maybe some blush and lip gloss and I am good to go. I do not understand all these women who just CAKE it on, like even eye shadow looks silly to me sometimes. Isn't makeup supposed to enhance your natural features, not act as a cheap alternative to plastic…

Anxiety chest pains, no work out?
I've had chest pains all day from anxiety, so I don't think it would be a good idea to do any cardio, but would weight training be a bad idea? I hate not working out for more than two days in a row, and yesterday I didn't because it was my rest day :(

To all the women- when did you "fill out"?
I put this in the support category because it's really stressing me out :( I'm wondering if the "weight" I think I've gained is just my child body turning into an adult one? I am 18 years old, and all my life I've had a pretty straight up and down body shape... but lately it seems that hips and a butt have just popped out…

I HATE RUNNING.
I can do strenous aerobic workouts for almost hours on end, I can kick my own *kitten* riding my bike 20 miles one way, i can perform all three levels of the 30 day shred with ease, I can do crunches until the sun sets- but ask me to run around the block once and I will probably die. Why is running so hard for me??? Does…

Working out at home- PJ's or no PJ's?
When I work out at home (which is the only place I ever work out) I never wear actual exercise clothes, I always just throw on a tank top and some cotton shorts and I'm good to go. Half the time I don't even wear shoes, which i heard was better for your burn. But that's now why I don't, I'm just too lazy to put them on.…

SO SICK OF PEOPLE TELLING ME I CAN'T.
I am sick and tired of being told I can't. Being told that I am not capable of completing my dreams. I recently changed my major to Criminal Justice because I want to work for the government. I want to work for homeland security, the FBI or something along those lines. I have wanted this for years and years, and for years…

Listen to my original song? c:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5TbZUVLLns It's about my deadbeat dad. He pretty much told me over a year ago that he no longer wanted to be in my life (not that he really was anyways, but he still (kind of) tried). So this is a song about my attempt to wipe him from my memory, even though I still love him very much. Yes,…

Ulcer diet?
Hi everyone, I found out that I have an ulcer today and to be honest the doctor was very vague about what I should be doing. He prescribed me some antibiotics and some antacid type things, but he also explained some sort of diet to me, and for the life of me I can't remember what I should and should not be eating. I do…

Is it better to take medicine to rid the pain, or be aware o
As many of you might know I have serious stomach issues, and soon I am going to go to the doctor for it. But until then I have a silly question- Should I take pain medicine or not? I really want to because it hurts, but I also don't because I want to see if the pain changes, develops, or moves to other areas so I can tell…

MAJOR stomach pain, please I have no idea whats happening
The past two days I have had pretty serious stomach pain. It isn't like anything I've ever felt before, and I'm pretty convinced it's related to my diet. If its not, I might have bigger problems than I thought. It's not nausea or indigestion, it is a sharp pain that comes and goes throughout my entire abdomen. Not just one…

Tattoos?
I'm interested in getting a few tattoos, and I would like to hear peoples stories. Like, what places are especially painful and which places aren't as bad? And how much does a small script tattoo cost, or does it vary by artist? Does white ink show up on white skin? Does black ink fade a lot?

I'm 18, moving out, and need advice before I tell my parents
I need help! In June I plan on moving out of my parents house into an apartment with two other people. My rent would be roughly $350 a month, that includes gas, water, and heat. I want to move out because I really want to be on my own, and I know for a fact that I will get financial aid for school if I live on my own. I…

Question about how guys work...
So in my English Lit class there is this guy who is SO attractive. He is seriously model material, at least in my eyes. I've noticed that A LOT during the class I catch him looking at me, which also means he caught me looking at him. Does this mean he think I'm attractive, or thinks I'm crazy for staring? Haha I know that…

How soon is too soon?
My boyfriend and I of three years just broke up 10 days ago, and I was just wondering how long I should wait before I take an interest in other guys? I'm not saying I want to go on dates, or even have a relationship- I just feel really guilty for even looking at other guys at the moment. Will that go away?

Help me get booked in a club?
Hey guys! So the jist is a booking agent in a club near where I live is interested in having me play there, but he says I need to get a bigger following first. So if you all could take the time to look at my channel, and like my videos that would mean A LOT to me. Seriously it's my dream to play for a live audience, ever…

How to talk to guys!?
So I just realized that being in a relationship for three years has made me completely HOPELESS at attracting and speaking to men. So I really need some help on this, because at some point in my life I'm probably going to want to talk to guy. Maybe. I really don't want to wait around for guys to talk to me, you know? I…

Should I still be losing weight?
I'm 5'7, 18 years old, and 120 lbs, which puts me on the low end of healthy and underweight, but the thing is I am still unhappy with the way my body looks. Yes, I am small but I still have fat in places that I would rather not. I think what I am looking to do is just tighten up in general, but I have no idea how to go…

How does this strength training routine sound to you?
I am at the point in my weight loss where I am trying to just tone up. I am eating at maintenance level, and I plan on doing this routine 5 days a week: 50 Sumo Squats 50 Chair Squats 50 Calf Raises 10 Push Ups (I plan on upping this when I am capable of doing more, my arm strength definitely leaves something to be…
