On the today show this morning, I heard Joy Bauer ( a certified NUTRITIONIST) say that detoxing is a load of crap basically and that our bodies do a fine job at detoxing naturally. I have never tired a detox diet but have considered it as i've heard great things about it. THOUGHTS?!

Wow! I really like this post. Thank you!

I love that idea too! HAHA!

haha, yea i know what you mean, if you were to call me skinny 2 years ago i would have loved it too. I guess my point is that the wording people use and they way they say certain things can be hurtful. It was just the WAY he said it. It's kind of like saying "you are really pale, are you sick?" You know what I mean? I…

Today, my boss told me that I am looking awfully skinny and asked me if i'm okay. Honestly, I know he meant well but comments like that can hurt people! I worked really hard to lose all my weight and calling someone "skinny" isn't nice! Bahhh

Thanks everyone! That makes more sense! I kind of forgot that water helps reduce sodium! OOPS! I knew that! Haha! P.S. FitnessChick...you seriously rock!!

I don't understand: People on here post and say "oh I went overboard today and ate so much" or "I binged and ate mcdonalds." People respond by saying "thats okay, just drink water. Tomorrow is a new day." I don't get that. What does drinking water do? I dont mean this to sound rude...I am just confused! If i overeat or eat…

well...50 pounds later: height 5'4" weight 115 size 2 used to be a size 12!!!

Thank you ALL so much for all of your love and advice and without giving too much detail on here, i'd like you all to know that this is being taken care of! I am so thankful that she felt comfortable enough to talk to me about this and I know she is indirectly pleading for help. I really appreciate all of your advice! This…

yea i told her id take her to the police but she is afraid of telling anyone.....this stinks!

There is this 15 year old girl that looks up to me a lot. I am 23 and I spend a lot of time with her. This past week an 18 year old boy took advantage of her. She told me. I feel like it is my responsibility to do something about it but I don't know what to do.....she lost her mom a few years ago and has an off…

Elleit- I am soo sorry to hear about this. You were doing so well when you were blogging. I really enjoyed reading your blog, too! Do you think maybe you can start a new one and make it private so your boss can't read it? Just a suggestion. I wish you all the best!! Hang in there! You can conquer this!

I get the cantonese shrimp and it's delicious and not too bad in the calories!

I drink more water than anyone I know and I am still alive. It bothers me when people tell me there is such thing as drinking too much water. I feel gross when I don't get enough water in a day!

Congrats! I cant wait until i'm in your shoes! I can't run outside right now due to frostbite and it is devastating!

7 pounds in a month?! BE PROUD OF YOURSELF GIRL!! That's awesome! I know what you mean though....I too am extremely competitive but just remember everyone's bodies are different! They may be making a more drastic change to their lifestyle which is resulting in them losing more POUNDS but like you said...you have less to…

Honestly...I wouldn't eat back all of those calories either. Make sure you dont go below your daily allotted amount of calories AND maybe add another couple hundred! :)

Yea...but if you don't eat back the extra calories the same day, they say you can eat those extra calories on a different day? Does that make sense? Sorry! It's kind of confusing

Wow! I feel like I need to get one because I can't trust what the machines say. Were you typing in your weight before and they were still wrong?! Bah! I wonder if i'm burning a lot more or less calories then it says! HELP!

My mom said that at weight watchers they say that if you don't eat your exercise calories/points one day, you can eat them the next day even if you don't exercise that day. Is that true?

my mom told me that at weight watchers they say that exercise earned "points" rollover too. I am not sure if this is true or not. Maybe I will post a topic!

wow!! congrats on that weight loss! Spinning truly is a great work out and I certainly was sweating. It was just weird walking away from the class and I felt like I didn't get a good workout, although I was sweating and struggling during it. I think the resistance knob just threw me off target because there were no numbers…

I tried spinning at the gym for the first time this morning. HOLY CRAP was it a different kind of exercise than what I am used to. I am used to running and the elliptical. I was really confused with the settings on the bike and am not sure if I REALLY worked out as hard as I could have in an hour. Anyways, I am wondering…

I am 5'4" and I started at 165 and now weight 115. I want to get back up to 120/125 but am having a hard time finding my comfort zone for eating healthy and well balanced. I weighed myself the other day and weighed 113 and felt gross and have thus gained a couple pounds these past few days!

Is there a difference? Both are carbonated but is seltzer water acceptable as oppose to diet soda? Thank you :)

I get dizzy a lot and I got blood work taken. Turns out i'm anemic and now take iron supplements. Maybe seek your doctors advice? I hope you feel better soon!

So I just got back from a 5 day cruise to turks and caicos and I lost 5 pounds unintentionally. This is so bizzare to me because I ate and drank a TON and didn't work out at all (although the stairs on the ship were a killer). I honestly don't need to loser 5 pounds and now i'm trying to gain it back but has this ever…

haha umm yea I have no idea what I would do without my microwave!!! ;)

blahh I hate inaccuracy. I need to get a HRM! I was going at level 6 if that means anything....
