Ok, I have looked several times and maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me, but I do not see a section for fitness or exercise.

If there isn't one can we add one? I think it is a good idea because there are many who struggle with weight gain while on certain medications. It would be nice to have a forum area where members can share their exercise routines and fitness tips that may be able to help others.

What do you guys/gals think?

Agreed. I think it would be a great idea because that is a very common side effect of most medication is the weight gain and having a place where people can talk about their fitness tips and tricks would be a wonderful idea!
Thanks for this!

Good idea sundog but I was thinking about something that would be a little easier to find for the new ones. I just tried to find it from the forum main page and it took a while to navigate through it. new people may have a hard time finding it.

I was thinking about having a subsection added under the health & other section. Seems there is just health and chronic pain sections. Need to look at the positive as well.

How do you join these social groups? I don't have access to view.

I wonder if we actually need a separate forum for this or if we could fit it into Recipes & Healthy Living. Maybe a subforum for fitness and exercise, or maybe just change the forum title to Recipes & Activities for Healthy Living.
Thanks for this!
