  • Solution to water retention = Less Salt/ More water! Water is a natural diuretic. "Water weight" doesn't come from drinking too much water, it comes from having high sodium levels in your body. When sodium is high your body holds on to the water it has.. Easy solution, dilute the sodium... drink lots of water!

Great way to earn more PC time and get active! I learned a long time ago that some kids just aren't into sports, which makes it extremely difficult to get them…

  • I also can't control myself with certain foods.. The solution I have found that works is.. Don't even get started! I do not eat White Flour or Sugar.. Once I eat anything with those I go into binge mode! Sugar is a drug (seriously, recent studies have proven this), so you need to treat it as such! Stay Away COMPLETELY from…

  • @Jid314 - When you lose more than 2lbs a week your body releases hormones that make you more hungry, usually resulting in giving up and putting on more weight than when you started! 2lbs is just the amount that isn't hard on your body to maintain.
