Hi everyone,

I’m just going to start with the fact I’ve never much trouble losing weight. I’m 21 in a few months, 5’3. all I had to do in the past was run 30 minutes a day and cut my calories and I was down to my goal weight within 3 weeks, given I only had to lose 5-9 pounds. The last 3 years I’ve been between 116-133, my comfort zone being 120-124. last 7 months I totally stopped working out and started eating basically whatever I wanted. I went 125-139 between September 2018 and March 2019.

3.5 weeks ago I started running again on my treadmill doing intervals between incline fast walking and sprinting on no incline, 5x a week 45 minutes a day. Plus a few pushups, sit-ups, squats and what have you. I dropped down from 139 to 132 in the first two weeks, then Stayed at 132.6 for over a week.

I understand a lot was most likely water weight and some muscle. I tried running faster for longer and increased my cardio to 50 minutes and still nothing. I’ve been eating “mostly” healthy but never go over 1200 calories. I drink only water..

My goal is to be 123lbs In the next month or so. I’m only looking to drop 10 pounds at this point. Anyone know why this would happen? Anyone have any suggestions to get me out of this rut or whatever it is? I’ll take workouts, meal plans, tips for boosting metabolism. Anything helps. Thanks in advance :)

I have two dogs, a Great Dane/GSD cross and a staffordshire bull terrier. both dogs bark when they hear basically anything out of the ordinary. I live in a rural area and my house I’m renting was built in the 50s however I have historic structures in the backyard within 10 feet Of the home. Structures are of the old train station from 1800s. Maybe once a week the dogs will wake my husband and I up in the middle of the night, I usually assume it’s just an animal passing through the yard. my husband went on a business trip the last two nights, both nights my gsd mix just stared at my bedroom door and growled a low deep growl and barked for about 2 hours and I could not get him to stop when he usually stops barking if I tell him to. 2nd night both dogs woke me up 4 times running around the bedroom barking and growling in the middle of the night. I’m not a religious person at all, and I dont particularly believe in the paranormal but I can’t help but question why my dogs acted the way they did. my husband came home and they are back to sleeping through the night and no growling or barking whatsoever. My question is, we’re they being more alert and protective since they knew I was alone or could this be something to do with spirits ? Thanks for any ideas !

I recently started running and I really enjoy it. For The last month or so I’ve been doing 3 miles at 5mph 4+ days a week. I have a treadmill so it keeps me at the same pace for the same distance. My problem is some days my run is incredibly easy and I feel great and then just the next I’ll do the same run and it’ll be very painful with bad cramping above my hip or under my rib for 15+ minutes, if I can push through the pain it usually goes away by the 20 minute mark. I always run about 5pm after my 9 hour work day, but what i noticed is if I eat less it hurts less. However I don’t want to be starving all day until i finish my run and eat dinner. My question is : is this normal and/or avoidable? Should I drink more fluids? I drink about 40oz a day and try to get to 60 but I can’t be running off to pee all day at work lol. Is there certain food that make it worse? Food I can eat that will make it better ? Stretches? I’m clueless. I’m frustrated because if my runs were painless it’d be so much easier and enjoyable. It’s awesome if I get a good pain free run, but I don’t want to be worrying if it’s going to be an easy or hard one. Any help appreciated. Also if anyone has any running websites or social media pages they suggest that have good training or tip info That would be great. Thank you

Hey there, so this is an odd question. Tonight I left something in my car I ran out to grab it. Took all of about 4 minutes. and I just felt an overwhelming sense of being watched or someone was following me right when I stepped outside. I got goosebumps and my hair was stickin straight up. Im not one who scares easily or is nervous/paranoid or anything of that sort. I usually run 3-4 times a week and between 11pm and 4am so it’s not being in the dark and outside that made me

Uncomfortable as I do it a lot and enjoy it. And out of all the times of me being out late at night on my own I’ve never felt that until tonight. So I’m wondering what the opinions are on this and if anyone’s felt like this before and why? Ive bee been slightly anxious/stressed but I feel like that wouldn’t make me feel like that? Who knows. I tried researching it and it came up as paranoia due to how humans adapted etc etc. I feel like i would have experienced it more if it was that. Anyway I was just curious so thanks in advance lol.

Hi, quick question. I m wondering if it s water retention or actual weight. Last Friday I weighed 119lbs and I stopped running the last 4 days. I ve been active walking but I just haven t run.. I m planning on starting up again like usual but aside from that, today I weighed myself and I m 124 pounds. I haven t eaten more than 1500 cal per day and maybe max 2000. I usually don t eat that much so the last few days were unusual for me. I m wondering is it possible for me to have gained 4 pounds in 4 days. I m extremely bloated as well. Also, any recommendations to get the weight off quickly so I can get back to my regular would be great. Im just hoping it won t take 2 weeks to get back to normal :(

So I have a 97 f250 powerstroke and it's got a flat bed on it. It doesn't hang out he side much at all. I'm just wondering do I have I switch out my bed for a regular bed or can I keep it? I was told it's illegal and I have to register it a certain way or it has to be commercial and all that. I just want to know because if it is I'll change it out cause I've got a regular bed to put in it but if not I'll leave it. Thanks for help and any recommendations welcome.

Hi, so I just posted this question a second ago you'll probably notice but it didn't let me put details on, stupid yahoo. I have an idea of how much. But second opinions are good. Anyway, my current boarding fee is 350 at an ok facility. two arenas... Not the best footing but they work. My horse is not trained for trail. I've been working on it with her. She is turning 8 this month. She's been trained in dressage (2 level) however I've been riding her western. She'd need a lot of reminding and tuning to get her back to wher here she was on the dressage page. She is a registered Lusitano cross. Well behaved on the ground. A bit spooky and occasionally stubborn under saddle. So she'd need an experience rider. Some days she's great to ride others not so much. One day you'll want to just do a relaxing ride and it ends up being a training session. Anyway she does W/t/c however needs help with her leads sometimes, (she never had to balance for herself) she bathes, ties, all that stuff. She doesn't show but I wouldn't be opposed to it if they worked with her a little. I have time and energy for my horse, a long with money, I'm 18 working a part time job and in college for vet tech but it'd be great to make some extra money and she could also use the expirience of someone else riding her. I'd probably go down the same days to turn her out or clean. Thinking 2-3 day lease. Thanks for your time!

Other horse falls are welcome!!!

He is a 28 year old Arab, he was born with terrible conformation so he can't be ridden or it'd hurt him. He such a sweetie and he live and a large pasture. I'd like to do stuff with him, he follows me around and all and I was just looking for things to do with him like training or something without treats( not good for him) thanks btw it's at a private barn and the owners had him since he was Born. ( born at the barn)

hey! i was wondering who has had a fall, which wasn't from a buck ( feel free to post it though) but was your fault! i had one in january and im kinda feeling like im the only one who's done it! ( girth wasn't tight enough, he galloped when i asked for the canter, and the saddle slid and i fell off while he was in the arena running circles with the saddle almost under him until it fell off. horse nor me was injured.) ugh stupid me (btw im western so it was a biggish saddle :( so embarrassing)
