What about volunteering or interning in the field you want to work in???

Set some life goals like learning a new language with free internet tools or tapes from the library, plan to lose xx number of pounds in the time off, before fall shopping, etc. Research and plan a dream vacation. I would definitely recruit a local workout buddy or two or three to spend the time with. Look into water…

Important tip-eat your biggest meals earlier in the day or plan them out for even calories all day through. You don't need as many calories at night.

When you have the time, two hours of activity, six days a week will really help. Make it fun and switch it up. Walking, bicycling, dancing around in your room, skating, hiking to a cool view, swimming, walking a dog, etc. Find friends to do some active stuff with. You should also get started with some strength training to…

The most important thing is to get those workouts in when you can make it work for you. The conventional wisdom is that getting some exercise in early in your day boosts your metabolism for the rest of the day. Some people have trouble sleeping soon after a workout-need to wind down. I used to work out at night and get to…

Better to tell the people in your life who love and will support you, IMHO.

Numbers are difficult to pinpoint ...appearance is a better guide. Second the idea to consult a doctor for guidance. Adding any muscle changes the goal (if you build more muscle, your goal weight should go up too). I though about the weight I was at eighteen as a goal for me but I am more muscular now than I was then so…

I would add to your animal cruelty list catching and releasing fish for sport-if they are too mall to be a legal catch, O.K,. but otherwise, NO, just cruel.

O.K., embarrassing true story...never pregnant but was mistaken for being pregnant recently! Need to work on overall fitness and belly fat in particular. Best wishes on your journey.

In my thirties, I had a few pounds creeping on each year. What I could have done differently would have been to add a little more exercise to compensate for the more sedentary job. Regarding your late dinners-what about a light workout between 8-9 to stimulate your appetite and then your meal can be small to medium to…

Great story. Best wishes with your journey!

Here is your push for the day...part of being a grownup is to find the balance of food and exercise that work for you. This may need to be adjusted every few years or with changes in your activity level. The great news is that as an adult you get to decide what wonderful foods to nourish yourself with and what gloriously…

I am starting today, with around the same range to lose. Let's do this!

My bf's tips are not bringing foods into the house that he might binge on (splurge outside of the house if splurging), to measure ingredients/follow recipes for preparing foods and for portioning them out. His choices, when he does the food prep, do not satisfy me so I end up overeating. My tip is to choose foods you like…

Congratulations on committing to healthy changes in your life! Just today, I was doing some research on flavored waters. I get bored with just water myself, and this would be a fun way to shift from the sodas to something healthier and maybe get together with your daughters a couple of times a week to try new recipes. The…

Training for a fitness goal is a convenient way to explain what you are doing and divert attention away from your weight and specific goals for the nosy. Something like "I am working on increasing my stamina" or "I want to be able to walk easily xx miles a day on my next vacation", deflect attention to health and away from…
