What am I doing wrong?
Okay. Why am I not losing weight? Actually I am gaining this week. Why? Why? Why? I have felt that the weight is harder and harder to get off the last few weeks.

Lose lb by eating only cake? why not?
Okay so I know it's BAD to eat only twinkies and cake and candy etc. We should not eat these things to fill our calorie goals, it is BAD. I know it 's bad and unhealthy. I would NEVER eat only cake.

How to break a fat loss plateau
The first step in breaking plateaus is to stay positive and focused on your goal. Focus on where you want to go, not on where you are. A slow week is not a setback, it is feedback. If you have a week with no results, be like Thomas Edison and say, “This is great! I’ve learned another way that doesn’t work.” When you look…
