"Rest" days
My wedding is in 5 weeks. I have about 9 pounds left to lose. (It's not just vanity, I thought I ordered the right size wedding dress but the damn thing was too small!) So my question is, on my "rest" days, is it still a good idea to take a 30 minute, 3 mph walk? How about a 30 minute leisurely swim? Or does EVERYTHING…

Help! Got any back excercises?
My wedding is 6 weeks away! I've lost 5 1/2 pounds of the 15 I'm trying to lose in a total of 9 weeks (so mostly on track). The problem is, my corset-style gown does not close at the top. The bottom, the middle, all of those points are fine. And now... I'm not losing weight in my upper back.My hips and waist have lost an…

Wii Fit
Is useless. Wii Sports burns WAY more calories and is more fun. Why do people continue to buy Wii fit? I'll be spending my money on Sports Resort.

Well.... that's awkward
I'm working out- yay! I'm losing weight- yay! Where am I losing weight first, you ask? In my heels and fingers. REALLY, heels and fingers? These are not the trouble spots I was trying to work out! Plus, it makes my shoes and rings slide around. Where have you lost weight that has surprised you?

25 Foods You Should Never Eat-- some are surprising!
I found this article online. What's different about this list is that it doesn't list "duh!" foods like quadruple hamburgers or deep-fried snickers bars. A sugar-laden smoothie, a frightening "healthy" frozen dinner, a grim granola bar and a bunch more. Check it out!…

WTF Personal Trainers?!?
So, for months, I've been fed the line at my gym that runners burns muscle, that you don't want to work out too hard, or you'll burn muscle, too. Turns out, this is only true if you're pressing HARD at the over 2-3 hour mark. Damnit all, how am I supposed to lose weight if no one can agree on anything? Best time to work…

Fry Theft
I was @ In-n-out for lunch and accross from me was a man with animal-style fries (fries topped w/ cheese, grilled onion and hamburger). I was torn between disgust for the massive caloric value and wanton desire to steal this man's lunch. It was a close one, but I managed to leave the fries alone and avoid the caloric and…
