Waxing smooth for men a good idea?
So my Bf is always bugging me to stay waxed (I do all over) and I finally turned the tables and told him he needed to also which was kind of a joke but he took me seriously and waxed everything including his legs and his armpits which is a little weird.

Intermittent fasting and binge eating
I have not been diagnosed with Binge Eating Disorder (probably because I've never confessed it to my doctor), but I have episodes of uncontrollable binge eating so it is reasonable to assume that I have BED.

Do you use the Under Armour: Map My Fitness App?
So MFP suggested that I use the Under Armour: Map My Fitness App -- I think because they are owned by the same company. It appears to track workouts like biking, walking, running, and hundreds of others as well as maybe gym workouts. It doesn't look like it tracks steps (just walking around during day) - am I right? Is…

The 3,500 calories-per-pound myth...
So, since this has been established to be a myth, how do you really know if you’re in trouble as far as weight gain is concerned? Say, for example, I burn 2,500 calories over the course of 24-hours but I consume 3,000 calories during that same time period. Now, the myth says that, if I continue to do this over the course…

Anyone else gain/hold on to weight when exercising?? Very discouraging.
In a nutshell, I find that whenever I start an exercise program I end up quitting because I swear, I weigh more when I exercise. I realize this is going to happen at first because of DOMS (I get sore easily) but I've been working out regularly a solid month and my weight is staying up. To verify, I work out 20-30 mins at…
