Healthe Trim?
So, I've been hearing about Healthe Trim a lot lately, and from what I'd consider reputable sources. I just only want to hear from someone who has actually tried it, and how it worked. I've been doing pretty well with eating healthy and exercising, and have even cut out sodas which has really helped more than anything.…

I am confused!
So I was talking with a coworker today about myfitnesspal.com, and I was telling her oh I only have 119 calories left to eat, so I need to work out so I can get more calories back so I can eat supper. She told me I'm not supposed to be eating those, but I thought I was supposed to be eating all of my calories? Am I just…

FRUSTRATED.... I can't seem to keep my weight down.
In the last two or three months I put on around 11lbs. I think this is because I started taking the pill. When I realised I'd put on so much weight I started dieting and excercising again and lost 6lbs. Now my weight seems to be going up and down even though I'm eating healthily and excercising regularly. What could be…

Please Help!

Should I have a "weigh-in" whilst on my period?
Apologies to all the guys out there but this is a question I must ask! I always weigh myself on a Saturday morning as soon as I get up; having began menstruating today (i.e. Wednesday), is there any point in clocking in on Saturday? Should I rather weigh myself a week on Saturday once I'm done? Or is it actually possible…

interesting TOM information...
i suspected this was true and figured i'd post what i found since there are so many posts related to this: "A few days before and during the time you are menstruating, you do burn more calories due to the additional cellular activity taking place internally. Some female metabolisms may increase up to 15% during this time…
