Curious. Scale vs Tape Measure - when weight doesn't not drop
hi everyone. Saw this mentioned here and there on posts where OP was frustrated that despite good diets and consistent exercise, he or she doesn't see the weight drop -- sometimes it even goes up! Others who answered have suggested that tape measure might show a different story from the scale. My question is that - seems…

Ladies - favorite shape wear?
hi ladies (sorry gentlemen not sure if this applies to you) Any favorite shape wear brands or types that you love? I just went to Macy's and bought the Jockey tummy saver.

Soda/diet drink/cocktail substitute
I don't really drink soda or diet soda. But I am super social and I do go out with friends and have sugary cocktails or wine with my BF. Since starting on this journey I've really cut back on alcohol but also don't want to be out of place. This is a great recipe for at home or at the bar :) I hand crush some mint, add in…

So I do have a ton of muscle. But I just love love love to eat. So far my weight loss journey has been focused on eating healthier and being more…

Strength training vs toning
whats the main difference between strength training and toning? Is it just the lbs of your weights? For example if I do squats - is it only strength training if I squat with extra weights? And when I do bicep curls using 5 lbs weights on each arm, that isn't strength training right? What's the point of doing toning or…

Scale difference. What can I trust?
So I always weigh myself in the morning first thing I wake up and after the bathroom. I've been seeing very positive downward trending results in the past 15 days since I started my fitness health and weight loss plan. Right now I am out of town at my parents house for my moms birthday. And I just stepped on the scale and…
