Even though I know better...
...sometimes I wake up and am disappointed that the fat on my belly and thighs has not magically disappeared overnight...especially since I've been doing so well for a few weeks. I know it took AGES to get to this point so it's not going away in such a short fraction of the time. I KNOW patience is a virtue - a virtue that…

At first glance, it looks like one cheek is kinda swollen - maybe from getting your wisdom teeth pulled - but then you see that it's likely a birth defect. He is 28, a Cordon Bleu trained chef, has great style, and like I…

I found the PERFECT EXERCISE!
IT'S THE ONE YOU STICK TO!!!! For me it's Indo-Row classes. I'm addicted to them. Yes, they are mostly cardio, but they are the densest form of cardio. Since I'm not working right now, I walk 1.25 miles to class and 1.25 miles home. I strength train at home because I can't afford a gym on top of my Indo-Row classes. I…

So I am so happy for all the ladies on here that I see getting amazing results mostly 'lifting' and not doing much cardio...what does that mean? Can you provide some examples of your weekly routine?

Gained .8 when I should've lost 1.35...now I just want to EA
Did the Olivia method this week. Based on my calculations, I should have lost 1.35lbs. Instead I gained .8. It is day 7 of my period but it's basically over. I have been doing ALL the right things but to see a gain instead of a loss after a week of working hard...well - I just want to eat whatever the hell I want. HELP!
