OP, are you on hormonal birth control? You might want to read on side effects of birth control. Look up this book "Hormone Heresy : What Women Must Know About Their Hormones" and read it. Library should have it, or Amazon.

"Cut off your legs" "Donate your brain".... are you posters for real? If you got nothing to say, don't waste other people's time. OP... quickest way would be to go on juice /smoothie diet. But you got to juice yourself using fresh vegetables and fruit 80/20. There is a lot of info on web about juicing. Most likely you do…

I got that book and 3 more to get myself in strength training this year. I am reading them to see which one I want to follow. Another one that has a good looking program is by Irene Lewis-McCormick "A Woman's Guide to Muscle and Strength". Let me know if you start following New Rules plan.

Eat before you go to movies. I think it is just a bad habit to eat while watching movies or TV - it is mindless eating. I never got popcorn for my kids when they were growing up when we went to movies, and it is not an issue now when they are grown. Watch this video, it might help to turn away from microwave and movie…

Just a word of advice to all young females from someone who has been there done that and is trying to find a way to stay healthy for long time. There is no way your body will get enough nutrients from just vegetarian diet to support a fully developed bones for your kids that you will have one day. I had my fist child at…

If you can't break away from sugary foods and dairy food, try 5/2 schedule: do not eat sugary food & dairy during the week, but have some on weekends. That will make a big difference. Sugar gives extra empty calories while dairy bloats you up, both create bad bacteria heaven in your gut. Try 5/2 approach for 4 - 6 weeks…

Yes! You can't change the date on your birth certificate but you can change how old you feel. And that's what matters.

My work included also digging with shovel, pulling, and throwing lumber for about 40 minutes. I would think that majority of burn came from there.

This is awesome! Thank you!

Adding any exercise is easy. Go to Exercise > Add Exercise, then enter name and search. If you have results returned pick one. If no results returned, add it from link below. After you add your own it will be in your exercise list and you will only need to check it to add it. Calorie burn is different for different people.…

Possibly.... but for boys, who want to control you. Because once you are "saved"...then what? OP, you want to find someone who is your best friends, and will be regardless of your professional career & income status, because that can change over night. Best guy is the one who wants to walk with you side-by-side, not ahead…

Depending on what is your activity type. Fitbit measures steps and calculates calories, which I found not to be exactly correct if compared with HRM for when I run. When I workout like cardio DVD, Crodd Fit Class Fit Bit is way off as far as calories go (converted from steps recorded). I wear FitBit through the day to get…

Two eggs cooked on a skillet with spray olive oil, then put them on a slice of whole wheat organic bread. My breakfast every weekday morning. It gives good amount of protein to start the day off right.

This is very rude. I actually could not believe you were for real in original post, but then I read your replies. In my personal opinion original post is rude and is not a "serious contribution". There are rude people everywhere, and it's time to learn - if you don't like it, move on, do not hit 'reply'. You can't win a…

Switching between workouts is good because you exercise different muscles. As long as you are working out as many times per week as you have planned, you are on a track.

Companies spend piles of money on research to find out what we (consumer) like. Research says we like it, and it sells the stuff. So there you go. Even the plus size models are skinnier then regular plus size ladies. Don't spend your money on companies that you don't like for whatever reason. Money is what talks to them.

It's a bunch of bologni... all the reasons people list why they do not get married. Truth is, one of them or both think " I am not willing to commit to this person. There could be someone better for me". It is less complicated to walk away from someone who you are not legally bound to. I think it is very foolish to share…

Does your boys like going there? If they go to youth group they most likely have friends and a lot of fun activities. Have you been there to see what your sons take part in? Your neighbors should definitely ask you permissions, but it might be that your sons have communicated to neighbor that they like to go and they want…

I need to drop body fat to see mine. Currently I can see only 2 pack.

Diet soda is more unhealthy then regular soda. It is also more addictive, because sweetener is 100x sweeter then sugar. Quit diet soda but have regular soda 1-2 x per week as a treat, if you must. Life is about balance. I would not want to live knowing that I can never drink a soda, eat ice cream or eat chocolate cake. Eat…

In my opinion it is because of one of these reasons or combination - 1) people can say whatever without being identified and don't feel fully responsible like they would if they would be facing you, 2) putting someone else down makes person feel better about themselves, 3) Some people are plain narrow minded, and just…

Get enough sleep. Eat dinner at least 3 hours before bedtime. Cut out dairy 2-3 weeks before wedding so your face does not look puffy. You will be surprised to see difference in pictures. Best wishes! I have 101 days till my wedding. p.s. if you feel that you are eating good, and feeling that you do not have full & heavy…

I would like to find out, from people who live long lives and eat meat, what is their portion size? My feeling is that it is normal or small. Meat is harder on body to digest then other food, and people who eat large portions of food not only get fat but also put a lot of exhaustion on their body. All energy and blood flow…

If to be concerned about liver and kidney health, one should quit taking all the meds. Medicines that so many people take are ruining their health in a way that can not be reversed. Also, ladies, two of the most popular over-the counter lotions that are made to "erase" the dark spots on face contains a chemical that is…

FitBit One. It is $100 but worth the investing in it. It can be tuned to sleep mode when you are driving on bumpy road and it will not count it as steps. Also, it counts stairs climbed. You can set your daily and weekly goal through their website. Fitbit.com is free to use and it links to MFP. FitBit.com does offer premium…
