Sometimes, the gym can be unpleasant. Going anywhere public can be unpleasant because people are rude, disgusting, inconsiderate, annoying... but you have to take the bad with the good. By going to the gym, you open yourself to a variety of workouts. You could stay on the treadmill, or you could go over to the elliptical.…

Adding flavor to your water is a great way to encourage yourself to drink more! However, I am skeptical of some of those 'enhanced waters' because I have no clue what is REALLY in my water. So my suggestion to you: try adding flavor to your water in other ways. For example, you could add a real lemon. I know it may not be…

1. Oatmeal (Get the individual packets, so you get a variety of flavors, a pre-measured amount, it's quick, it's healthy, it's a good portion) 2. Fruit Smoothie (I always make mine with 1 banana, some frozen strawberries, and some milk or fat-free vanilla yogurt. You could also add frozen blueberries, frozen peaches,…

I love the KIND bars! I think it is always a great idea to keep some variety in your diet, so having a snack bar twice a day may get kind of boring. The nice thing about snack bars is that they are non-perishable. So, if you buy a couple apples at the store for the week, try eating those apples instead of the snack bars,…

You should be weighing yourself at the same time every day/week. It is said that the best time to weigh yourself is in the morning, after you have gone to the restroom, because it is the most accurate weight for you.

I do not know what dating website you are using, but maybe you should switch to one that does not allow random emails to be sent to you. I used to be on okcupid.com but I got frustrated with all the creeps emailing me. I have tried eharmony.com, and with the system they have set up, I did not find myself being bothered by…

Maybe you could find some ways to distract yourself from being so inactive. As someone mentioned earlier, you could take up a craft project. You could also read a book or catch up on some movies at home. Maybe you could spend some time going to a nearby park and just sitting, enjoying the scenery. Maybe you could work on a…

Put it on top of lettuce. I used to eat this a lot as a kid. I think I got the idea from my grandma and/or my mom. I have not enjoyed cottage cheese in a long time, but looking back at it, I think it tasted great because it was like having a salad with cheese and dressing.

I used to be on the swim team in high school, but I never made it to varsity. As a beginner, you might find all workouts a little bet exhausting in the beginning. If your body is not familiar with the force that is being put on it, then your body is going to react. I do not know what speed you are trying on the treadmill,…

I find it interesting that you ask that, because it seems most people who are trying to lose weight complain about being hungry and not being full! Anyways, to answer your concern, I think that it may be a sign that you need to shift your timing for your caloric intake. A. Nutrition experts say that it is important to…

In the beginning, I was not at the gym for more than an hour (and by at the gym, I do not include time to change/shower/etc.) I always spend about 10 minutes warming up. Then, I spend about 5 or 10 minutes doing a slow, good stretch (each stretch lasts 30-60 seconds) My workout will be 30-60 minutes. Sometimes, if I am in…

I hate taking pills, so I've found myself taking those multi-vitamin gummies. I also take Omega-3 and Calcium.
