I'm a fan of whatever works best for the individual guy. I've dated guys with full beards and others with baby faces. The Hubs keeps things fairly short to clean shaven, depending on how he's feeling. He can never get past the super itchy point to allow it to grow out, even though I've encouraged him to give it a try (I…

The biggest thing that I've found with getting stuck is not changing up your exercise. If you've hit a plateau, try changing up your treadmill walk to a faster speed or add some incline. If you can't add incline, add some arm weights (even a couple of large cans of soup or full water bottles, if you don't have 3-5 lb…

I just started my second Whole 30. I, like most people, have to do a reset on the Whole 30 occasionally, as I let myself get out of whack. I started eating horribly again (pizza is like crack), and started gaining back some of the weight I lost. Impressively, it's been 6 months since my first whole 30, so if I can keep it…
