Burn off more calories during excercise when we are overwei
I am wondering if I am burning off more calories than the charts say due to my overweight. Does anyone know? Do you know if the calculator on this site is adjusted for our relative weights. For example, when I swim vigorously for 30 minutes, do I burn up more calories then a gal who weight 120? Anyone know? I would sure…

Today I tried on shorts from last summer...
Well last summer I had lost about 20 pounds from my heaviest point and I had this pair of shorts from Old navy that were size 10 and too tight to wear. I could get them on, but it was not a pretty sight. So this morning instead of weighing I pulled them out and tried them on...they FELL off, literally. I was dancing around…

Hourglass figure
How do people feel about the classic "Marilyn Monroe" style hourglass figure? Has it become a thing of the past, being replaced by an androgenous straight up and down figure? At my best I am an hourglass, as my bust and hips measure the same circumference. My waist is 6 inches smaller than these, and I'm working on making…
