  • Congratulations on reaping the rewards of your hard work! Your determination and dedication is unmatched! :)
  • Sure. Check out this article: http://www.metaboliceffect.com/female-fat-loss/ Once I started eating to balance my hormones, it became so much easier to manage cravings and energy
  • It's actually very different for males vs. females due to hormonal makeup, especially during the weeks before/after your period. My advice is do 3x week HIIT cardio no more than 30 minute per time, and up the weights to 4-5 days per week. Check out a class like BODYPUMP or at home Les Mills PUMP for a great total body…

  • I met my soon-to-be husband on eHarmony. I lucked out because he's one in a million. I think you get out of it what you put into it but I think it can be a great conduit for meeting people when the bar scene has dried up. I also think different sites have different clientele so choose the type of person you're looking for…
  • Hi Heidi! I think what might help is really paying attention to not just the calories but what you eat. I find that when I up my protein and reduce my carbs (not atkins-like, but no white bread, just ezekiel bread, no more than 1 serving size per meal and fruit) then I start to chip away at the last 10 lbs.
