How many inches did you start with VERSUS how many inches now?
I am curious because I've been seeing some measurements of other ladies, and they seem to have more or less a 10 inch difference between their waist and hips, meanwhile my largest part is my waist, and as I continue to lose weight, the stomach does not get smaller relative to the waist. It is as if I am perpetually…

Breast Reduction Surgery - Canadians/Canada
Hello, I'm sorry if this is not really the appropriate "group" to post this question. I have gone to a surgeon to talk about my over-sized breasts, and she told me the wait time is a year and a half. I am wondering how long it took other Canadians from the point of the referral/consultation surgeon appointment to get their…

Losing weight, but face is getting fatter. Please help!
Over the last few months, I've been losing weight, but my face has been getting fatter/more round. My diet has not really changed, other than I am eating less overall. I am exercising 3-4 times a week, and I do consume healthy fat supplements, and constantly drink water. The weight is going, but my face is actually getting…

Looking for healthier "hot dogs" - where can I find them?
Hi, I was wondering if a hot-dog alternative option was available out there (in Canada) - ones without nitrates/processed meats. Doesn't matter if it's 'uncooked', but basically some REAL meat in the more or less shape of a 'dog' for a typical "hotdog" cuisine. I don't normally eat hotdogs, but every once a year or so, I'd…

Does protein powder potency expire?
I have an old protein (whey isolate) powder tub that is about 3 years expired. I don't really care if it tastes "bad" (it doesn't, it tasted lovely), but I also don't want to bother consuming it if the protein potency has denatured. It smells fine, it tastes fine, but expired nonetheless, and I'm usually the last person to…

Love cardio, but weight lifting is more important?
I love cardio, but I often neglect lifting (and I'm not even lifting heavy...just what is considered as "toning"); so basically I lift no more than 12lb dumbbells, not because I don't want to lift more, but because I'm weak. Would I like to get stronger and try to bulk up? Of course! But I don't think I could ever really…

How are some people SO skinny?
I understand we all have different body shapes, and genetics, but some females are so thin (think Audrey Hepburn thin), and it just amazes me how everything just... fits in there. I mean is that sort of thinness really genetics or is it a very well-kept diet? By diet - I just mean consumption of food. I don't mean dieting.…

If we're too low on calories, should we eat even if we're full?
Some people say they eat even if they're not hungry in order to get nutrition in, some people say, "don't eat if you're not hungry - 'cause that's how you gained weight in the first place!" In a situation where someone would like to lose more weight (a good 35lbs), but sometimes... some days, they really just aren't very…

I almost never feel "hunger" - what can I do to stop this?
It's very odd, because when I wake up, I'm not hungry, and whether I end up eating breakfast or not, I still don't end up hungry in the afternoon, nor dinner time. By dinner time, I definitely eat anyway just because I still have the sensation of WANTING to eat, despite not feeling "rumbling" patterns in my stomach. What…

Would love to start weight lifting, but do not want to have a surplus of food?
Obviously muscle gain goes hand in hand with eating a surplus of protein/carbohydrates, but what should individuals do if they do not wish to add a surplus of macro nutrients into their diets? I know absolutely nothing about weight training, but I know that I would like to start, however, I'm not really comfortable eating…
