If I read you correctly you are losing inches, just not in the place where you'd like to lose them. it will happen in the end, but you really cant spot reduce. So stop focusing on the belly and just accept it comes of where it wants to come off.

@Malicent I'm guessing you've never gone through anything like this. That's great for you. And yes it sounds so easy to just get up do stuff, make yourself better. But it doesn't always work like that. For me asking for help from a doctor should never be the last resort, because with most things the longer you wait the…

Anything from Italy. Pizza, pasta, polenta. Ugh!

Or maybe it's unrelated to your eating? Period coming up? Or some stomach flu? You really shouldn't feel bad for a day when eating some bad food.

No @ HuskyMan3 Shiny blue shorts scare me

Isn't there a marketing course in LA? Especially when you're just getting started as a stand up comedian there's gonna be plenty of hours left in the day. Even if you want to write as well, there's no reason why you can't combine things. If you find out that the stand up comedy is taking up too much time, great, that…

My first I finished in just over 38 minutes. Which was great since the cut off time for that race was 40 minutes and I'd been seriously concerned about finishing at all. I ran after no practice for a month and a half due to a possible heart condition (which I don't have!) and only got the okay 2 days before the race. So I…

I have an armband for my phone. The cord goes under my shirt then out at my neckline to my wrap around headphones. The excess cable is in between my boobs. My running shirt is quite small, so the cable doesn't move in and out of the shirt, means there's also basically no movement of cable in the shirt.

A master of science. Cost about $70.000 until I buy a house there's no way I'm going over. But hey, I bought myself a lot of knowledge and an entrance to a good career that makes me love going to work most days. None investment wise it would have to be my holiday to Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama for a month for about…

Go talk with a doctor. If nothing else (s)he can take away your fear that you're depressed. Sometimes just that chat will make things more clear for you. Going to a doctor isn't the same as getting medication. It's just getting a check-up because something isn't right. And in fact, there are some other medical reasons when…

In science when you're tracking a number that fluctuates a bit you increase the amount of times you measure. For your weight this means that you'll get the most accurate number by weighing more often and taking the average of these numbers as your weight for that week. Now unfortunately we're not robots that live by…

Is your commute to and from school by car or by public transport? If you're driving there's not much you can do. But in public transport there's all sorts of sitting down exercises that you can do (just Google). When I take the train I walk to the front, to the back and back again twice or three times. It gives you…

For me there is a big difference between doing something for the person you love and these rather random rules from a time far behind us. Once, years ago a friend of mine and me were 'operating' a pineapple for the first time and had a good laugh while doing so. Basically teenagers having the giggles. My bf was there as…

When I was dating a few years ago I always said I wanted someone with an IQ of at least 130. If he doesn't understand my jokes, it's not gonna work. So lucky I found a guy who doesn't just know about quarks, but was also very enthousiastic to get into the car with me a drive for about 15 hours to visit the open day at…

Modern etiquette actually says that whomever reaches the door first opens it, there's really nothing wrong with a women hands that they can't open doors. I guess the OP just shows there are different types of people. Some men and women, live by those rules. For me personally I'd get creeped out and very annoyed by not…

Time for a reality check. Which is more important: 1. the number of the scale 2. Increase in muscles and decrease in fat I'd go with number 2. That means you're increasing your health, still losing inches, but getting in better shape at the same time, as well as toning your body. Also, you drank 2l of water. That's 2kg or…

I'd suggest you might want to try some different places to look for your significant other. In my experience people in our country are less obsessed with looks than people in at least the UK and US. There are however some subcultures where looks are the main thing. Which is also the subculture where friends with benefits…

That really depends on your fitness level and length of legs. If you're walking as a workout you know you've got the right pace if you start sweating.

Your TDEE (total daily energy expenditure) includes your activity. I'm not really sure what you're asking. You mean to say you've set MPF to give you 1200 calories a day? If you're exercising worth 1000 calories a day you could (and should) eat more than that 1200. Probably not 1000 extra since the calculations can be…

Diet is more important than exercise. Because if you eat really unhealthy no amount of exercise is going to save you from getting or staying fat. There's plenty of people that eat 3000-4000 calories a day, without being very aware that they're eating that much. Heavy exercise for an hour of 2 might give them another 1000…

Strangely enough I see myself as fatter than I was before. Maybe because I'm paying more attention to it, but those flabby arms, fat legs and bulging belly are catching my eye more than before I lost any weight.

It is an interesting study. The one thing that sets off all my alarm bells though is that the lead author is an advisor to the Corn Refiners Association. That does not prove that the article is biased, but does nothing for it's credibility either...

I've also lived in a dorm without cooking facilities and really no washing up facilities either besides the small fountain in the toilet to wash your hands. A plate barely fit. Lived there for 16 months with a 1 pit electric stove, and a microwave suspended above my bed as a 'kitchen area'. But there's so many salads and…

I'm assuming getting up earlier, or to bed later isn't really an option. In your place I'd go for, what I call, 'time free exercise'. - Walk up the stairs rather than taking the elevator. - Park at the far side of the parking lot. - If you need to wait for the bus don't stand still but walk in circles. - When you go get a…

I'm on a number of psych meds as well that cause weight gain. But in reality, there's still the law of thermodynamics. Energy is energy, and you can't put on more than you eat. It needs to come from somewhere. So what the meds do is lower your metabolism, or in some cases lower your movements (less fidgeting, less energy).…

One wrong doesn't make good another wrong. Explain this to me for example, every airplane passenger stopping over in America whether they are staying there or not, needs to get an Esta form. Which basically is 'give me your name and passport number and pay a large amount of money'. The theory of course is that this will…

I was living with a guest family in the UK at the time. It happened probably during my last class for the day. After college we were standing outside talking for a bit, when someone told something vague about a plane crashing, no 2, no 3, no they're bombs, something. The way it was told it really sounded like a joke. I…

Only if you share your diary..

It doesn't sound very unlikely that your burn by the end of the school day is 2200 cals. On average men burn 2500 calories per day, doing nothing special. Assuming your school day ends at 4 pm, you're already at 2/3 of your day. So just from that you'd expect to have burned 2/3*2500 = 1650 calories. That means of your…
