1. Your problem: harassment by fellow gym goers. 2. Possible Solutions: a. report them to staff (don't assume the staff will take their side ('a few of them' is not all of them) & if they do, go to the manager) b. ignore them Why do you even consider adding 'c: give up exercising, because I'll just gain the weight back" ?…

"Thank you honey, it's nice to know you care about my health -- but be sure that I'm doing this the best way possible for me, so please don't you worry." Repeat as often as necessary. [ If you find yourself repeating more than 3x in one conversation, then repeat, but shout the words "my" "I'm" and "me". ]

I think the reason why ' foot cutoff' works is because after 7pm is when many people eat snack food / dessert type food (ie high calories, high fat food) -- and with the cutoff, they are skipping those foods. So it is not the TIME that makes the difference, it is just the reduction in calories.

There is a My Lilttle Ponies mod for Minecraft. "Mine little ponies" Bronies gotta dig.

You really have only 2 choices at his house: Somebody cooks, or get takeway. If you don't like cooking at his house and he won't cook, then takeway it is. But couldn't you keep a bag of salad, fruit and veggies, pre-cooked chicken in his fridge, and cans of soup, tunafish, beans etc.? He orders out, you have a salad. He…

And tearing people down is just a way that people who are ugly on the inside try to make themselves feel better.

"Run your own race" "Those who say it can't be done should get out of the way of those who are doing it" "Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy." "Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your…

You didn't notice your changing body because you were the same person inside. You were the same wonderful person you were when you were younger, so you didn't wake up feeling bad about yourself, because inside you were the same and happy. You only started feeling bad when you saw the physical changes. You have more value…

http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/700505-rest-days-with-30-day-shred A lot of people quote this "Jillian says to do it 2 days 30ds 1 day cardio 2 days 30ds 1 day cardio and 1 rest day." And while it is recommended that you should complete 10 days at each level, be aware that you can and should adapt this workout to…

If you want to do something but are scared that you aren't good enough/don't have enough experience/aren't strong enough - well if you don't start and do it, then you'll always be (1) scared (2) longing to do it and (3) too weak/inexperienced/unschooled. Lessons would be good because they would give you a scheduled time to…

Ice tea is a good way to wean yourself from the soda. Also good, try flavored club soda. And if you do keep cola in the house -- stop refrigerating it. Warm pepsi/coke is not that tempting. One of the things you don't realize is that when you stop drinking cola, you also kill the cravings for certain types of food…

gum. and drink lots of water. If you can hold out for a few weeks, the sweet tooth goes away.

Here's a not-secret: you are not the only overweight person in the class. Matter-of-fact to everyone who thinks they are the *only* overweight person in the class -- you are not. You may be the only 'currently' overweight person in the class -- but plenty of your classmates started at the beginning, just like you did, and…

consign or ebay them and then use the money for a new pair -- because your jeans would want it that way.

Freeze your fruit. Bananas, grapes, watermelon (watermelon coolers, yum) Also, mint and everything just seems cooler. Sugar-free lemonade slush with mint; cucumber/tomato/mint salad; quinoa/corn/mint salad

Those are cardio moves - so you should be able to substitute any other cardio move, like knee lifts, hamstring curls or even simply jogging in place. Or if you want to save your legs, try throwing punches -- upper cuts, power punches: Power punch. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, and the right leg a few inches in…

Generally, muffins are just big cupcakes without icing. Vitatops makes a 100 calorie muffin top.

If you were going to be particular about what you eat, you wouldn't eat anything. No more pizza (because of the way mozzarella cheese is made), no more hamburgers, no more bread of anykind, but especially not artisnal bread, no more fruit, no more veggies. Heck, why would anyone even buy meat, considering most of it is…

Just a suggestion: Take some new pictures of yourself (with your family or friends) and put them on your desk at work (or somewhere where you will see them doften). You'll see them every day, and after a while you will be so used to them that you will no longer feel strange when you see yourself in them - reset your idea…

Best of luck ! I did this program last fall & what I found was that getting form week 2 to week 3 was much harder than getting from week 6 to week 7 (so don't let future weeks scare you). The hardest part is at the beginning and then it gets a lot easier -- don't worry about the weeks ahead, just focus on the week you're…

Way to go!

“In this life, people will love you and people will hate you and none of that will have anything to do with you.” (Abraham Hicks) Next time he says something, just say "Wow, you must be having a bad day if you need to tear me down." Put the responsibliity for his comments back on him, because they are about him, not you.

The longan, also known as lamyai, is a fruit that somewhat resembles the lychee. Longan is native to Southern China. The shell is bark-like, reddish/brown, thin and less rough than the lychee. This makes the fruit easy to shell. The flesh of the longan is whitish, translucent, somewhat musky, sweet, and tastes somewhat…

There is a difference between keeping quiet about your accomplishments while someone is actively commenting on how they feel they are failing and lying about your accomplishments to make someone feel better. If you have to lie about your accomplishments that means that your friend has made you feel bad about them -- and…

It's not just the size spectrum you have to accomodate with dresses -- it's the body shape spectrum. What looks good on Marilyn Monroe won't necessarily look good on Katherine Hepburn, and vice versa. (So I support commenter norahwynn's suggestions of different styles but same color dresses). As for taking that stress away…

I make ice tea (from bags not powder) and add in some fake sweetner. As the week goes on, I use more and more ice/water in my tea, so that by the end of the week/beginning of the next week I can just switch to water, and hey presto! no headaches - because I've tapered off.

Crock Pot - low heat over a long period of time, shouldn't make your house too hot. Make some chili or pulled pork or pulled chicken and eat some, put the rest in the fridge for later in the week & reheat in the microwave. Or crockpot some quinoa or rye berry and make quinoa salad or ryeberry salad with oranges. Sushi is…

This. and also some general conversation on one of your worries: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1034120-men-what-do-you-really-think-of-girls-w-stretch-marks

You know what is noticable besides weight loss? Better posture. Confidence. Energy levels Animated facial features/guestures. Clearer skin/athletic flush to face. If you feel good, you look good - and people notice.

DYE them. Dye your best fitting jeans black. Or bleach them out entirely and dye them a fun fashion-color.
