Have you also been exercising? You might be doing one of your moves slightly wrong. I have found that when I do yoga too much, my lower back hurts, so i am probably doing something wrong. I also had a sway back! It can be fixed and/or significantly reduced by regularly stretching your hip flexors. Try some lunges, hold,…

If you are trying to bulk up with muscle, you need the protein. If not, then you don't. Too much can be hard on the liver. As a woman, I don't like to see big muscles on my body.

I've lost 13 lbs over a couple of months with very little exercise. I eat only whole foods, nothing processed. It's far more fulfilling. Don't deprive yourself! if you want ice cream, have it, but only 1/4 cup. Eat it slowly and enjoy it. For me, that makes this less of a diet and more of a lifestyle, which will help keep…

wow! Sugar is addictive, so maybe it was a relapse binge that something in you needed after being deprived for too long. Maybe you didn't deprive yourself when you were heavier, so never felt the need to binge like that? For example, have you switched from regular soda to diet soda? That might do it. Hey, congrats on…
