Do you get told "You don't need to lose any weight"
I'm 5'8 and currently 160lbs. Once upon a time I used to weigh 130lbs. 30lbs may not sound like a lot, but since I've gained the weight I always feel lazy, tired, and unattractive. Any time I mention wanting to lose weight, 75% of the time the reaction is "You don't need to lose weight!" But I'm just not happy with the way…

Frustrated
I'm really frustrated right now. I've been eating right and really trying to do good for myself these last two weeks. Today was my third day of the 30 Day Shred DVD.

Have clothes done the same thing? Are we…

Better to eat every 2-3 hours, or something else?
How often do you eat? Do you eat something small every2-3 hours, or a big breakfast, big lunch, and a small dinner? Or something else entirely? Does only eating a few meals a day REALLY put your body into starvation mode, or is that just talk?
