I really have to force myself to workout every morning. Even if I'm not that tired, part of me is always saying "just make today your day off. You'll workout on your usual day off instead." But I know if I give in to that little voice, I will end up in a slump and might not work out for days. And I always feel better after…

I can't say I've noticed any real difference. I have Sketchers Shape Ups. I've had them for about a year now, and they are really comfortable. I wear them all day and my feet don't get tired. The only time I noticed my feet getting tired was after a transatlantic flight and about a 4 hour layover in the Toronto airport! I…

What I do when I'm trying to input homemade stuff is I just put in the food, like 2 pieces of bread, for example, and see what calories it gives me on here. Then I put in what's next - a slice of cheese, ham, whatever's on a sandwich, say. Then I add it all up and create a new food. Some of it is guesswork, but you can get…

I don't know if they are really toning your legs. My grandmother wore heels every single day, all through her working life and after. Now all she can wear are those house shoes or similar flats. She says now, if she knew, she would never have worn heels that much. I think they are actually really bad for you. You are…

Well, if you are 19 and in the UK, you *can* go get the pill without your parent's permission, you are legally an adult. Now I'm not saying that's a great idea, because if/when your parents find out, I imagine they would be really mad, imagining you are taking it for sexual reasons. Perhaps you can go to the doctor…

Thanks for all the encouragement everyone! It really perked me up. I sort of ranted in my post, then dragged myself off to the exercise room. I got on the elliptical telling myself I would do 5 minutes. Instead of just setting the timer for 5 minutes and counting down, I let it count up, so that I could do another minute…

I know exactly how you feel. In the week before my period, especially the few days right before it starts, I just want to eat and eat! I crave all the bad things - chocolate, salty chips, cola. I do end up caving sometimes and eating a lot more than I should, but I just remind myself that it's not really my fault and I'll…

Well, I weigh 210 (according to my weigh in yesterday. Go me!), and I don't think I can. I haven't tried it in a few weeks, but last time I did try to run, I didn't make it very far. To be fair, I was running uphill on a gravel road (thought I'd challenge myself), and I think I lasted about 2.5 minutes. I've never really…
