group

The brand-spanking new Team group, Pets In the House, is looking for photos of pets on, around, or inside furniture. Send your pet posts, photographs, and blog entries in! I can't get enough of seeing pets on furniture. Be they dogs on rugs or cats on bookshelves, there's something about pets included in interior design shots that makes me smile. I especially adore cute pups cuddling on couches (like Frank and Angus, proud pups of Grumpalita.

Since I have a feeling that I'm not the only one feeling this phenomenon, I started a group where you can post pictures of your pets lounging on couches (and if they're not allowed up there, well, beside the couch is great, too). Feel free to also post questions about pet-friendly furniture and other pets and interiors questions here as well! Join now!

You know what I love? A happy success story! Here is the thing, when it comes to getting healthy and losing weight, it is important to celebrate accomplishments every step of the way. This is why I want to share user SeptemberLights recent note of success in the Fit's Dieters Support Group.

"l lost 6 lbs! I am sooooo happy. For the past two weeks i have given up wine, chocolate and cheese. Basically my three favorite things and i switched from Pilates to Tae Bo and it seems to be working. my butt is so sore! I even got a compliment from someone at work. I just love the feeling of my jeans being looser. I only have 10 more lbs till i reach my goal and im hoping i will be there by April!"

Not to sound cliché, but YOU GO GIRL! Thanks for sharing your success with us.

Looking for a way to connect with fellow yogis and yoginis?

Well, FitSugar has created Yoga Stretch and Tell - a group dedicated to sharing your yoga stories, questions, tips, and celebrations.

We'll chat about anything and everything having to do with yoga.

Need an answer to a burning yoga question? Want to share a tip that helped you open your back? Do you have a secret embarrassing yoga story to reveal? Or maybe you just held handstand without falling and need to tell the world.

This is your safe place. I'm looking forward to sharing it with all of you.

Is your New Year's Resolution to work out more?

Here's a good idea: Try adding a bit more to what you are already doing, instead of trying to incorporate a complete work out overhaul. Do something as simple as adding just a few minutes to your work out. This way, you are much more likely to stick to your resolution than if you added something more difficult to achieve like swimming laps everyday before work.
