First, focus on fat loss and don't worry so much about the scale! TOM, muscle gain and water weight are just a few things that can make you heavier. I know there used to be scales in the pharmacy departments of Wal-Marts and most grocery stores, so if you must keep up with your numbers you can check there. Since your doc…

I'm a former server so here's a little insight from my experience: There are two types of servers; Ones that try to save the customer as much money as possible (ie. offering smaller portions, suggesting "hey, if you order this and add that you'll save .50 cents" etc) and the ones who try to upsale as much as possible…

I'm more than a little skeptical about "miracle" workouts like this, but any exercise is better than none so go for it. Typically, people will recommend that you rest a day between workouts. That is, one day on, one day…

I know the feeling.... my sweet tooth was my biggest downfall! I would eat fairly healthy and then binge on chocolate (I'm talking a 5lb bag of kitkats in an evening here!). My solution was to cut out sweets cold turkey. Yes, its hard. Yes, the cravings will drive you crazy. But after about two weeks you'll be amazed how…

I didn't read the whole post but yes, cutting out alcohol will definitely help you shed pounds. When you drink alcohol your just consuming empty calories and "bad" carbs (simple sugars). Drinking also lowers your inhibition which means your more likely to cave in to a craving for a greasy burger you would usually pass up.…
