shaped's Journal

This community is a information and support group for those looking to live active and healthy, as well as find motivation for their health and fitness goals. Are you looking for an exercise for a specific muscle group? Are you in the market for a new heart rate monitor; home work out DVD; vitamin and/or supplement; shoes? Are you curious about the benefits of yoga? Are you looking to tone your body and maintain your weight? Perfect! Some of us have been on a weight loss journey for months, while some of us are in the process of beginning. This community will serve as a way of posting about our progress, "non-scale victories," struggles with weight loss, asking for (and giving) advice, accountability and motivation, as well as a place to find new work out routines, recipes, or general health and fitness discussion. Join, sit back with a glass of iced water, and commit to living healthy!

General Community Guidelines:

1. We encourage posting from all members whether they want to post about their progress (which includes non-scale victories), ask a question, start a discussion, post a review, etc. As long as posts stay on topic, all are encouraged to be involved with active posting and discussion.
   
2. Please keep all entries viewable to members only!
   
3. Large pictures should be placed under a cut. Some members may still use dial-up (It's true!), so please have courtesy of other Internet connections. Also, if the picture(s) being posted is NSFW, the cut should be labeled as such.
   
4. Feel free to post your introduction in this entry.
   
5. Please be respectful of others as we are all aiming for better health. We will not hesitate to ban those who are disrespectful and come off as being discouraging to someone else's journey and/or progress. Remember: What works for one, may not work for someone else; as well as what work out may be right for one, may be wrong for someone else.
