You have 6 months until the wedding (why you are in a rush to lose some weight). Adding cardio or weight "work-outs" will help increase the amount you could lose by the wedding but only as a small percent of what you could lose from diet alone. FOr example, say you had 1000 calorie deficit a day just from food. In 6 months…

http://www.dietitian.com/calcbody.php#.UthkVxBdW0w This calculator can help you figure it out for you. It will show the weight range that is good for you if you scale yourself down (considering fat vs muscle composition). If you plan on more muscle you will be closer to the higher weight range, less muscle the lower of the…

I don't disagree with you...But. >> Twice a day I go to the gym and sweat like the best of 'em. This is impractical for most people (especially less privileged people). You may not be slaving away at counting calories, but you are slaving away at beating them off. For smaller people and women in general the margins of…

You *can* eat less then 1420. Some people say you shouldn't eat less than your BMR, most guidelines say just no less than 1200. Others think less than 1200 is okay so long as they are VERY nutritious calories (think 800-ish) and you don't do it for too long (this is usually done under the care of a doctor to make sure you…

Speaking of having no grounds in science: "You should drink 8 glasses of water/day." If you want to add lemon (love love love) or cucumber for variety or because you don't like the taste of water, great. But if you are doing it because you just can't stand the thought of having MORE water - don't have more water. Unless…

Brian Molko identified, reporting for duty. Whatever pronoun you want works for me, I answer to all.

pannellkat, They mean a total of 30 for the day, hopefully all at once. I didn't look at your photos so I don't know how fit you are but do you find it challenging to do 200 each day? I wonder if you are doing them slightly wrong... I found them very easy until I got a trainer and she corrected me (a very slight difference…

2000 calories is the "average" but that averages teeny tiny women with big giant men. The average woman (let alone petite woman) should not be eating 2000 calories unless she is an Olympic athlete (hyperbole but you get my point).

If you are in America you should try freecycle! Offer something for free and then you can post a request for a crockpot. Or just wait around until one gets offered and try to be the first to snag it.

In america you only have to list calories if you sell over a certain number (and only in some states I think). I thought it was great. The only down side is that places like McDonald's can still sell super unhealthy food-type substances, but so long as they aren't too high in calories most people will assume they are…

Personally I find short hair way sexier but I get that our society tells women that long hair = sex appeal. Anyway, rant away, we hear you :) Well meaning friends... sigh On a practical note get yourself some good make-up like an extra stupidly long/think mascara for times when you need to feel extra fancy. Get your nails…

A crocpot is just a slow cooker... I don't have a specific recipe for you but if you want the chicken to just be very juice and falling apart the way meat is when I cook it in my crocpot (only had it 2 weeks and I'm still trying to figure it all out) I would think you need to put chicken in with some stock in a pot over…

Another important thing to remember about belly fat is that if you seem to have an excess of belly fat out of proportion with other body fat it might be because you have Cushings or PCOS (assuming you are a woman). Both of these conditions lead to weight gain especially in the belly. Cushings is pretty serious, google pics…

As everyone has said losing fat is about calorie deficit; eat less and burn more... But to just get more of a lower ab workout to balance the uper abs you are already working, add bicycle floor exercises to your routine. http://www.builtlean.com/2010/07/06/strengthen-your-abs-5-great-abs-exercises/ The link shows an easy…

I never thought I would like them but at a party recently I tried kale chips for the first time -- they were AMAZING!!! You basically just lay kale leaves on a cookie sheet and bake them until they shrivel up (think popcorn minus the squeaking and getting stuck in your teeth). I have also heard of people making them with a…

Shark week cramps began today but sure, why not.

I just started tonight and have similar calorie goals. Friend me if you are interested in trying to keep each other motivated. I am looking to lose around 30 lbs as well as improve my stamina and flexibility. What is your exercise program, a gym routine?
