I’m looking for an accountability buddy. My initial goal is to lose 20 pounds in two months. To do this, my plan is to eat healthier and in smaller portions (track my food intake), and workout at least 3x per week.

What’s the one strategy/technique/ritual that has worked the best for your mental health? (Even if that was not the intention of it)

We are planning to try conceiving in a month. Have been taking prenatal since 20 days. I got ovulation test kit recently. Planning to reduce workout intensity (am lifting usually) during the weeks between trying and testing for pregnancy. I have started reducing caffeine already. Is there anything else I should be cautious of at this point?

Big birthday coming up in a few months and wanting to do things I have never done before (tattoos, surgery, etc.) What have you done as a result of a mid life crisis?

What do you guys think about apps like BetterHelp and Talkspace? I understand they might have real therapists working on their content, but a lot of the marketing I see is so vague and broad that it feels like a lie. Seems like "This app got rid of my anxiety with a 30-minute automated text questionnaire" is the new "This tea made me lose 20 pounds in two weeks!" Just seems a little fad-like and money grabby to me. Thoughts?

For those who got COVID , did you have any complications in conceiving after that ?

The feeling of avoiding mines buried on the gorund is one I carry at all times, and I remember the fear and the anxiety at every step. I still feel like this today, like every decision I make will lead to disaster.

Anyone in printers row know of good gyms around ~$50? Looking to avoid LA Fitness at SouthGate or XSport (reviews seem to agree - they are a mess). FFC is just not in the cards rn.

How long after exposure did you test positive / have symptoms? I heard for omicron the time period is shorter

It's really strange to me how radiation can both cause cancer (melanoma) and also be used to treat various cancers

I’m relatively new to working out. Just joined F45 and love it! Wish I got into it sooner. So I’m good at pacing myself thru out the workouts and not over exerting myself. I was considering doing it every day of the week bc I love how I feel after. Is that overkill? Genuinely curious

529 Plan VERSUS Prepaid

We live in Florida and currently have a Freshman in High School and a 16 month old. We hear from our friends and family with college bound children "I wish we would have done Florida PrePaid." After obviously ignoring this for years, we are finally trying to do it before "it's too late" for both children.

Does anyone have recommendations on which plan to go with for each child? I once did the pros and cons on a whiteboard and it seemed like 529 was better.

Serious question, why does going to the gym and doing an intense workout raise my lidio/drive and make me want to run home and and just go to town. 😩🥹

Hi! I have been working in marketing and advertising for ~5 years and recently started exploring the freelance side of things. I started conversations with a small boutique studio about doing Facebook ads for them and they asked what my retainer fee would be to manage them. Since I’ve always worked for a company that was hired to do it I am not entirely sure what a freelance rate for that should be? I would love any insight. I’m certified through meta’s platform too if that matters.

How are y'all enforcing accountability?! I got a 'buddy' that is ready to work with me. But wondering how is it working with everyone.
Do y'all just message for check-ins or send motivational quotes or something else?

This is going to be *the most cliche* thing to come out of this bowl but, I need someone to whoop my ass into studying for the gmat 🙏🏼

I’m almost 300 pounds. I lost weight and gained it all back and more. It would help me if I can get a buddy to keep tabs on me. I will do the same for you

Welcome! The purpose of this bowl is simple: keep posters accountable for the tasks they would like to have completed.

Step 1: Create a post regarding a goal you want to accomplish. Make it as (non)descriptive as you desire.
Step 2: Provide weekly update regarding the goal until it’s completed.

All incomplete posts with no update in 2 weeks will be removed.
