Parades. You have to get to the side of a road early, stand for hours just to watch a bunch of people in stupid outfits wave and walk by you at their own leisurely pace, and listen to super crappy loud music that beats on your ear drums relentlessly. And people smile and cheer and jump up and down as if it were…

I have been using Daily Burn for over a year and I LOVE IT! First, I hate the gym and I am not a runner. Second - I think its $12 a month, you can stream when you want and they have some great programs, trainers, and variety. They have workouts with and without equipment. (weights, steps, etc.) It is pretty old school,…

Your body sounds as if it is completely off . Losing weight rapidly will do that. Fat holds estrogen, you've lost a lot of that, so yeah your hormones could be in flux. But your current form of birth control could be adding to the problem. There are many reasons for you to be experiencing this, and it sounds as if you do…

I'm 5'3" and was exactly where you were in September - 51lbs to loose-ultimate goal anyway. I hit 50lbs lost this week. 1 pound left. I know how hard it can be, and I know how good it feels, how unreal, and how hard it is to accept the changes your body goes through and continues to go through. I would love to be there for…

I did this for lent, only I gave up all sweets and alcohol. After the first week it wasn't so bad. I had one slip during the time-my Lola made Casava and I told her I was doing lent so I couldn't partake. Umm old ladies do not take no for an answer. Needless to say I ate one piece but I made it up by going one extra day.…

Walking is not going to build more muscle, as mentioned above. You are going to have to do squats and lunges, and using a weight even if you only start with 5lbs in each hand will help you see results sooner. If you can get to a gym and see a trainer they will be able to help. Otherwise, if you prefer home workouts, look…

I'm in the process of losing 50lbs. (I have 7 left.) I workout every day, however 2 of those days are a very light yoga. My workouts are very intense so I need the yoga to stretch and relax. But you should aim to do some type of activity everyday even if you only get your heart rate up for 10-15 mins. You are worth…

Hi, 5'3" Start 196.8 Current 170.0 Short term goal 165.0 by May. Long term 155-145 depending on how healthy I look at 155. I am currently working out pretty heavy and gaining a lot of muscle. When I was 16 I was in Tae Kwon Do and I weighed 155 and it looked good on my body. I'm trying to be healthy and in shape, not…

Bon jour Moonylight. Comment alle tu? Je suis Joey. Mon francaise est mal, il est une longue temps qui j'ai ecrite en c'est langue. And at this moment that is all the French I dare attempt. Excuse the spelling errors. It really has been long. It sounds like you are a very active young woman and are on the right track. Make…

I have been there done that! (Was just there.) I had to recommit first. I made a new weight loss goal and gave myself a specific time period. I decided to do lent, as a challenge, and gave up sweets and spirits. Sometimes this is good stragedy for a month just to clear out addictions and appreciate those guilty pleasures…

I can't praise it enough, Daily Burn. Go to dailyburn.com and sign up for a free 30 day trial. They have programs with different levels of intensity and time, a personal on-line trainer if you want to pay more, (12$ a month after 30 days for regular) and nutrition guides. I have lost 23lbs and gained so much muscle and…

Fiber is your friend. Wheat berries and farro and quinoa are awesome. 1 cup of each is about 300 calories. If you make up a batch, especially of the wheat berries or farro, and add berries, half cup of blueberries, it will fill you up for a bit, and its actually tastes pretty good. Water also helps, but so do nuts, almonds…

Try looking up your workout on the Internet and see if they have a generic calories count. If it looks about right manually enter the workout and calories burned. Really just keeping track of calories is all this thing is really asking. I am a member of Daily Burn, currently on Black Fire program. High intensity short…

I have a sweet tooth. The problem I find is when it controls me and I can't control it. Short term goals work very well for me. Tell yourself, no sweets Sunday-Friday, but Saturday I can have something, even if it is over my caloric limit, (or pick Friday or Sunday). Also the more often you go without sweets the less you…
