the one time I took lessons from a personal trainer, the guy was an idiot, and I probably had grounds to make a lawsuit against him... know your own personal limits, be willing to push it a bit, but keep in mind not to overdo it. I ended up taking 12 generic advil in hopes to stop the pain and barely slept that night, had…

Diet pills work great, to make your WALLET thin!!! But seriously though, if you're having trouble losing the weight, change up what exercises you're doing. Not every exercise works for everyone. I've walked, jogged, ran, I was on the swim team in highschool and got a varsity letter, and none of that made me lose any…

you could always get an electronic one, I remember seeing one being sold at a store for like $10 and it had hundreds of puzzles... or if you'd prefer the paper version, buy a book of it and tie a pencil (or mechanical pencil) to it with a string of some sort, you'd only need a tiny hole in it, and if you can't find any…

If you're doing it enough that you can log it as exercise, then I think you might have a slight problem.

Something you could also try... give your brain some exersise! When you have some down time between everything, work on some sort of puzzle, whether it's a word game puzzle, a numbers puzzle, etc. just do something to give your brain a workout. If you get into a habit of that, studies have shown that it helps prevent…

Diet is only one part of losing weight... and Nutella is actually not all that bad for you. Anything in excess is bad for you, even water... it's called drowning. Find the balance, stay with the balance. If you want a little more on one side, you have to put an equal amount on the other side so you don't fall over. Look at…

Personally I would say to only eat when you are actually hungry, otherwise your body and mind might get used to the constant intake of food and come to expect it, and tell you it's hungry when you're actually not. The "5 small meals" thing is really more of a guide for those that are constantly feeling hungry, or just…

I doubt it has anything to do with the weight itself, just your personal state. When you first started losing your weight, you had to make a mental change in yourself, otherwise, what caused you to gain it in the first place? For someone like me, it's mostly bad genetics, and years ago when I lost weight the first time…

Why throw it in the trash? If you bought it once, you're likely to buy it again. Instead, go ahead and put that candy in a clear, plain view, but surround it by other things, such as much healthier snacks, like for example, in the fridge next to your favorite fruits, or put it near objects of some sort that will remind you…

Only time I had any ID issue was when I first turned 21 and the same person checked my ID twice, had nothing to do with my weight though, or appearance. (other than maybe not believing I looked 21+) I would be a tad cautious about signing my name 3 times infront of someone as "proof" of who I am with how easy it is to…

Carbs are not "the enemy" really. Really, "the enemy" is eating too much of things bad for you and being too inactive afterwards. If you eat a lot of carbs, that's good IF you are going to be doing a lot of exercise that day, they'll give you quick burning fuel for the workout, you should also take in protein, a slower…

Has anyone bothered to think of what it might be from his perspective as well? As a romantic and a gentleman, were I to propose to the love of my life, I would want the right setting, not just throw a ring at the woman and say "let's get hitched" unless you want a meaningless shotgun wedding. If you want the 5 minute…

Protein, lots of it. Whether it's a good lean cut of meat, some nuts, or whatever your preference, as long as it has high amounts of protein for your body to burn for fuel.

While diet can help a lot of people, it does nothing for some. For those that diet does contribute to, yes, portian control is part of the whole diet, not eating "the things that are bad for you" is merely lowering the portian sizes of those by a drastic amount. The major part of actually losing weight in reality, is…

I'm pretty sure it's not all that much to do with my weight, since I had this before when I was down to 160 lbs. and it's various parts of my body, such as my shoulder and neck, wrist, etc.

Last time I had swelling and pain like that, I had twisted and sprained my ankle badly. You don't need a hospital (they try to squeeze every penny they can out of you) but you do need to at least see your doctor about it asap!

I tried joining a gym last year, my health insurance covered and fully paid for a 1 year membership, and even got 1 free session with a trainer. I tried just the spinning for a short while before I decided to give the trainer a shot incase he had anything to add that might help me out more. When I spoke with them, I put…
