    in What is the best treatment for constipation? Comment by BrokenSomething April 2017
  • Hi! We are getting married in July and I already have my dress - so the primary goal is to actually fit into it! I lost 60lbs 2 years ago and held that weight for a while, but then the happy and PhD thesis pounds came, so I am up again. Not weighing myself at the moment because it tends to get me to crash diet, but I am…

  • Judging by your diary, not going over "by much" means around 500kcal. That is actually quite a bit.

  • First, if you enjoy weight machines and have knee problems, maybe your gym can help you with that. One of my flatmates got a workout set up by the gym staff that targets her weak knees and it really seems to help her. Second, I really hope that you find some kind of exercise that you enjoy. However, that might never be the…
    in I hate exercise! Comment by BrokenSomething May 2014
  • A) Scales vary. That's just the way it is. B) If you're anything like me, you probably weigh yourself in the morning before breakfast. Food and especially water add up quickly when it comes to weight. When I spend some timing working on something at my desk and constantly drink tea/water while I do so, the scale usually…
