Truthfully.... when I lost my baby weight, I lost weight in my fingers, it was so strange. My wedding rings were a 5 3/4 to begin with and now I am a 4 wedding ring. I went to Shane Company where we had our rings purchased and the jeweler said he had never seen that drastic of a wedding ring/engagement ring size change…

Depends on what type of business you are running??? Craigslist is great. Local farmers markets... make some fliers and just walk around and meet and greet people. Nice way to meet your community depending on how large/small it is. Get yourself out there as much as possible. Car magnets, they are obnoxious but work. It…

Holding Chatarunga pose for 2-3 minutes! I agree with the above posters as well... If you are not "burning" you won't see any results.

I am not familiar with these ones, truthfully. There is truth to copper therapy/bracelets and pressure point jewelry...however you can expect very subtle changes. I wouldn't expect grand results. I am a naturapathic, hippy dippy herb pusher... and have used copper/pressure point therapy in the past...but again it is…

Oh, and no, it is NOT gluten free ;)

I do NOT have celiac, but I have an autoimmune and there is a link between the benefits of eating gluten free and improvement of autoimmune disorders. Gluten free diets are either an all or nothing deal... it really truly only works if you completely abstain, unfortunately. Even if you have a slight sensitivity, your body…

That is not high, that is average-normal :)

I fluctuate... I am low, usually between 55-60.

(Shaking my head)...

Yummm, bagel with cream cheese. I use this site purely to log what I eat so that I can track my gluten free diet, not so much for weight loss. So hence the reason I steer clear of the bagels. I miss them dearly ;)

Hmmm, ingredients include coloring which is petroleum based, aspartame, phosphoric acid, potassium benzoate which are preservatives, caffeine, citric acid, unknown source of coloring and phenylketonurics. The aforementioned poster... you are mixing apples and oranges in your statement. I have a background in healthcare and…

(Shaking my head)... IS it water? No. Count it as soda. I would strongly advise against drinking it, period... but I am not going to go into that. Drink your water. Soda isn't water. Period. You can flavor your water by adding some fresh lime or lemon and a pinch of salt to alkalize. Any of those things like sugar free…

Yes... it is a challenge. Have you done any type of yoga before? I would suggest trying a gentler form of yoga first such as hatha or vinyasa flow and do and then slowly build your way up to bikrim. I practice yoga everyday. The thing about yoga is that no matter how many years you practice, it will ALWAYS be a challenge…

I wore larger clothes (size large tops and 12 pants) right after my son was born. I can't believe I just publicly admitted that :) I wear between a size 2-4 now and a x-small and small. I find that the clothing is in fact cheaper and there is a much wider variety in the size that I am in. It was SO FRUSTRATING not only…

You could eat INSANELY healthy and still not be getting the nutrients you need. Check it out. Go to fitday.com and enter you food and it will compute your nutrients. You will see what elements you are deficient in. It's quite telling. I could go on and on about supplements and herbs, but then again I am very pro based on…

You won't build muscle unless you work through the pain. Work out again tomorrow. You need to make sure you are working out correctly by alternating the muscle groups. The worst thing you can do is sit back and do nothing, even when you are sore...muscle through the soreness and you will see results. TRUST ME! I didn't get…

If you got it from an outlet, than no. The really try and keep their products true to size, however they get their products from different places and they cuts do vary. I know this because I did work very briefly for Athleta which is now owned by Gap inc. I also know this because I shop at the Gap outlet all the time.…

I do have a *secret*... but it's based on natural health. I drink aloe vera juice daily. You can google the health benefits. It also helps cut cravings for carbs and sugars along with the vast other benefits for your body. It's awfully bitter tasting so it's better to plug, chug and chase. My secrets are more herb and…

Well, it sounds like you might want to clarify this advice with your physician and make sure you heard correctly. Sometimes, things can be lost in translation. We are all human and sometimes things don't always come across like we intend them to. If in fact she did suggest that diet, I would ask more questions. Safety?…

Oh gosh... I thought you were serious!!! HA! You just can't read emotion via text, unfortunately... :)~ I am horribly sarcastic with a very sick sense of humor. I guess I should have picked up on that. But yeah, check out the aloe, it's great. Do you have a Trader Joe's near you? If so, you can buy it really inexpensively…

Don't buy that stuff... it is full of garbage and IS either full of sugar alcohols or aspartame or artificial sweeteners. BAD for your body and will not aid in any weight loss and will only prolong the sugar cravings.

After about a week of drinking aloe vera juice, you will lose cravings for carbs and sugar. It's one of the natural miracles of that plant along with the detoxifying elements, weight loss assistance, immune boosting qualities, etc. You can google the health benefits. You should drink it if you are pregnant or breastfeeding…

GREAT topic! Bagel & strawberry cream cheese from the local bagel shop. Worst part is that I am sure the cream cheese had petroleum based red dye in it, as most supermarket flavored cream cheeses do. I don't eat gluten anymore or I would probably (shamefully) still be eating them! GUILTY pleasure.

In theory, yes! But then again, YOU are the parent and have to set boundaries while setting examples at the same time ;) I have put my son on a fresh, clean organic diet called the Feingold diet due to his special needs. I also eat the same way and so does my daughter. My husband is a lost cause ;) Obviously there are just…

I am gluten free. You can have a very simple blood test, however that doesn't always indicate whether you are sensitive or not. You can still be sensitive and not allergic to gluten, or not have celiac disease. We are not meant to eat gluten in the quantity that is pushed and pumped into foods. Start with the products you…

I don't eat gluten and therefore it reduces carbs in my diet...drastically. OBVIOUSLY I am still getting complex carbs from other sources, which are vital and wonderful for the body. AMAZING for belly, internally and externally. Squishiness is not fun, but there are ways to reduce. Water, drinking aloe, tons of cardio and…

Yes! Yes! Yes! My husband was a hockey player and used to have a very lean physique and low bf percentage...he is still in amazing shape. He also is Italian and cooks amazingly wonderful meals all the times and would try and force feed me EVERYTHING. I just had to make it very clear to him that I love him, but I eat…

Have you ever stepped into the shower with socks on? Guilty.

It IS always something... ;) isn't it?! Did they manage to shrink your nodule? I too have a hot nodule, however mine is cancerous which is why they are attempting to shrink it. I was given the option of surgery or the less invasive method. I am more of a hippy dippy naturalist so I voted for the least invasive. So, at…
