I'm exactly the same way. I go to watch tv and my brain seems to automatically think that I absolutely must have food with it. I took up knitting which helps alot, it occupies my hands (which I think is the need eating was filling) while I do something sedentary like watching tv and helps prevent me from eating. It's not a…

Sounds like they're more worried about skin showing than about what's actually being worn, because I for one would certainly consider a nice pair of longer shorts to be far more appropriate than sweatpants, but I guess that's not their concern. Try a long bathrobe?

Certainly rest your legs. It's while you're resting them, not while you're working out that you build muscle. Rest is important too!

That moment of realization can be one of the worst moments of your life. But the good news is that it's over and now you're in the moment of motivation and time to achieve so that you never have to have one of those realizations again. There's a thousand and one possible tips but only you can determine which are best for…

If you're the one in the front then you look great and fit and shouldn't need to lose anymore weight! If you're the one in the back in the second picture then no. And please wear a bra, especially if you plan on swimming in a white shirt.

I don't care how it's done, wax or plucking or shaving or what have you, if there's enough hair to stuff a small pillow it needs to go.

Hi! I'm new too, Abby (21). You asked for advice on eating out, and I've been a longtime vegetarian (not so longtime dieter), so I've learned a few tricks when it comes to ordering food to get what you need and still eat well. Granted it depends on what sort of restaurant you're at, but I've found that there can be a lot…

It's only bad to eat fast if you don't have that time frame, because you'll eat more when you don't feel full yet. But if your meal is pre-determined and you only have 5 minutes anyway then there's nothing wrong with it, because you won't continue to eat in that time.

You might've lost fat and gained muscle mass at the same rate so your measurements didn't actually change. Eventually you'll start seeing more results in your measurements once your muscles gain their mass.

Try ditching the chair for a few hours and standing while you work. Sitting down burns almost no calories, as your muscles are doing next to zero work. Standing, however, engages your muscles and burns more calories per hour. This may be hard depending on how high your desk is, but standing during phone calls or another…

There's a few ways you can manage the junk food cravings: 1. Find some lower calorie alternatives. Have you ever heard of the "Eat This, Not That" series? They're fantastic books that show simple switches you can make to save yourself a ton of calories in normal foods. While the "better" option may still be high in…

I count as the same volume of water, because that's essentially what it is with some flavoring. Any difference in hydration would be too minimal to quantify. 8 glasses of straight up water in addition to other drinks is probably more than you need, considering that even things like milk and pop are water based and will…
