I looked at your profile. You're 109 pounds, and your goal is to be 95 pounds. I don't know how tall you are, but this weight is underweight, unless you're under 5 feet tall. If you're 5 feet tall, it is at the very bottom of healthy weight. If you're over 5 feet tall, it's underweight. It also says you want to be a…

I think the only hard and fast rule for skinny jeans is that you have to have a vagina. Beyond that, if they fit, and they flatter, then you're good to go.

If you find this creepy, I hate to think of how you view 90 percent of the conversations that happen on this website. This isn't creepy. It's actually really good advice and a good campaign.

When I drink it iced, I drink it black. When hot, the first cup with some kind of creamer, 2 measured tablespoons, and any cup thereafter is black. I weigh and measure my food regularly but I don't log often anymore.

I rarely drink less than a half a bottle when I drink wine, and there's no way I could maintain if I did that every night. I'm not willing to cut my food calories to allow for that much alcohol. Besides, I'd feel like crap if I didn't consume enough calories to compensate for the way I feel when I drink too much. So for…

Good news! You're 18 and can put on a good bit of mass in a shorter amount of time than a guy in his 30s or 40s. But 20 pounds in 2 months is not advisable. Better to get on a hard lifting program with an emphasis on hypertrophy and eat lots of nutritious food. But it is going to take real work on your part. You can't do…

They need to close our Trader Joe's. It's in a strip mall with absolutely no parking. Ugh.

I plan to make it through April, but I'm not drinking right now in general. Nothing stalls my workouts like alcohol, and from personal experience, it's much harder to get and stay lean when alcohol is part of the diet. Not saying weight loss is harder, because I do believe CICO is accurate, but body composition means a…

Not trying to scare you, but a model died about a month ago after a neck adjustment. They can break bones, tear ligaments, herniated discs..... If the pain is severe, go to the ER.

Neither do I.

The best thing about dating an 18 year old is they can't get into the bar to see you out with your wife.

Food scale. Food scale. Food scale. It really is eye-opening. And YES. Strength training will make you less doughy. I weigh more than I have in a long time (yeah, fell off the wagon), but I lifted while I was overeating, and I didn't get nearly as fluffy as I otherwise would have. Now that I am back to losing, I am…

OP. You walk 12+ miles a day. Keep doing what you're doing. You don't have to run a single step if you don't want to. And really, why would you run 3 miles when you have time to walk 12? I lost all my weight doing almost exactly this. Just make sure you have good shoes because they'll wear out quickly. Seriously, you…

Check out Bret Contreras. He's got a few books out, and a web page. Honestly, at first, I would stick with the Stronglifts 5x5 plus hip thrusts for a good 3 months and then switch completely to Bret Contreras' program. Get the basics right first and then incorporate more. Watch videos on Youtube and work on form every time.

It really depends on your goals and your comfort level as to what to recommend. For me, I went to the gym and messed around with the weight machines for a couple of months until I worked up the courage to go to the free weights section. Cardio and conditioning are definitely needed, but strength training is what is going…

For every one drink, have a club soda with lime or a La Croix or something with fizz in it. Works like a charm for me. Well, usually it does. I definitely have to plan that I'm going to drink NA beverages.

You should definitely check out the Success Stories section of the message boards for inspirational stories. Plenty of people have lost weight without exercise. Do you mind me asking why you don't want to consider exercise and only count calories? I know many are unable to do a lot of exercise, but that shouldn't hold them…

Most people who start trying to lose weight end up with a B-12 deficiency. Take a supplement.

The last time I fell after a workout, it required 2 weeks of strict bed rest and bandages. I'm glad you're having better results.

I've lost weight with just exercise. I've lost weight with just diet. I've gained weight while exercising and overeating. You're eating more than you think. Get better about calculating what you're eating instead of winging it.

Egg whites are solely for adding protein when I don't have many calories available and need more protein. For breakfast, it is eggs, 2-3 fried over very light with a slice of toast. And sometimes bacon.

Nobody in history has successfully used apple cider vinegar to lose weight. It's great in salad dressings, though.

I didn't ask if they had elevated mercury levels; I asked if they were keeling over. They live longer than anyone else on the planet, so it isn't exactly killing them en masse.

I love all my husband's habits. All of them. Yep. He has no annoying habits. At. All. None.

The Japanese eat fish almost every day, and sometimes every day. Are they keeling over from mercury poisoning? No? Then you have your answer.

A sharp knife, a kitchen scale, getting creative with recipes found on websites and google, and my bike. I often ride my bike to the grocery store and only bring home things that fit in my backpack. If I bring home something heavy, like a roast, I burn more calories getting it home. Going from sedentary to lightly active,…

The first thing you need to give up is the idea that you have a "biggest downfall." Anything that you use as an excuse crutch is going to hold you back. That is a mental thing, and not the fault of chocolate or soda. That being said, limiting yourself to once a week indulgence or to a small 28 gram weighed piece of…

Do you have access to a gym? If not and you're limited to the kettle bell and bodyweight work, incorporate glute bridges, plyometric work, sprints, and if you can figure out a way to do back extensions or reverse hyper, you'll see improved glute strength. And Romanian deadlifts and Bulgarian split squats to make the most…

Wednesday morn, no nuts The squirrels must have stolen them Nutless Wonder sighs.

I see very little in your post about what you are doing with respect to your plan and a whole lot about what you're trying to force him to do on a plan you have for him. That's not the way to start anything that you want to last or be a positive experience. Lead by example. Your relationship isn't prison or the military.…
