I had to get major surgery on my lower abdominal area and once the stitches were closed and everything was good to go, I found swimming to be a really good way to get back into working out. Low impact, as gentle or hard as you want it to be. I also started one of those couch to 5K things and it wasn't too bad, I stayed in…

I'm not good at doing this myself, but I recently read an article (can't remember where it was from...maybe Greatist...) that suggested either eating a small meal or exercising within an hour of waking up to boost metabolism. I don't do this myself as usually I have 101 things going on in the morning and either skip…

I should clarify, one cheeseburger itself is not a binge. We have to be realistic! Cut down on what you eat now, start slow, it will take time but will be easier to maintain in the long run.

Oh how my heart goes out to you, friend. I've struggled with my weight all my life, but especially through my 20's. I finally peaked at 23 at 338. I managed to lose down to 270, then back up to 315, then down, then up, blah blah. Now I'm 28 and at 285 and hoping to lose a lot more. Let me know if you need a buddy! As far…

It kind of depends on your body. I'm down about 50 pounds from my highest weight and I'm down a cup size at least, probably 2 if I were honest with myself :) But that's how my body works, I lose and gain weight fastest from my arms and chest, while my stomach, butt, and legs look the same that they did 50 lbs ago.

I'm not sure about Zoloft, but when I was on Lithium, it affected how my body retained water, so I would bloat/drop water weight in really weird, unpredictable ways. I'm not sure if it's different because Lithium is a salt (not the same as table salt obviously, but I only got a C in organic chem, so I'm kind of reaching…

I really like the ones Cassey Ho has come up with at www.blogilates.com They're focused on eating clean, which I need to be better about, so I use them as templates for what I eat.

This will show what a nerd I am, but I'm currently into Zombie 5K. It's a phone app like C25K, but with zombies. Each day you walk/jog/run, you get more of the story and the novelty totally has me hooked. I think once you get on a roll, it gets easier, so maybe start with something fun?

I feel you. I'm in law school and find I have similar issues. When things are good, I'm golden, but once exams roll around, I'm pulling into drive thru's. Here's a couple of things that have worked for me (now that I'm in my third year and have finally gotten in a groove): 1. Make the right choice the easy choice. Have…
