Question: I'm doing everything right, but I'm not losing weight - WHY?!

Well, assuming that people just want to lose weight, your answers might be correct. But if the goal is to be healthy and/or have better workouts, some of the questions have more complicated answers that are correct.

Instead of incessantly criticizing what other people take the time to post, perhaps you should try to add something useful to the boards yourself.
