This topic is one that is really relates from person-to-person. However, personally, I just CANNOT drink eight glasses of water a day without getting a headache or feeling extremely bloated and uncomfortable. I just drink mainly when I'm thirsty. I've done pretty good with my weight loss, so I do not believe that it…

Sometimes I work out 7 days a week. If I take a rest day it's because I'm going out with my family or something. I think it's mainly just important that you listen to your body. If you want to workout and your body feels fine, go for it.

Hello, If you're talking about the pain of a period, you can actually get your doctor to prescribe you a strong ibuprofen that's what I take for my period pains. However, if you are referring to the food that you crave on your period, or I know that I do anyway, the chocolate and greasy pizza. Just keep in mind that these…

But I was doing everything "right". Now, I am 150 pounds and I feel fantastic!! If I want to have a cheat day or eat some pizza, my…
