Possible food allergy or intolerance? Help!
About a week ago I broke out in little hive looking bumps on my stomach. They weren't welt like but not small like pimples either. They are probably 1/4"-1/2" in diameter. They aren't too itchy , although sometimes they are a bit. The bumps never fully went away and I noticed more tonight - probably around 20 total. I am…

* Scale Recommendations Please! *
I'm looking for a more reliable scale. Anyone have a good one that is fairly accurate? My current digital scale is off way too often. I'm ok with buying an analog or digital scale, as long as it's not constantly giving me different numbers. i'd love specific makes/models and any links would be great! Thanks!

Restaurant Help!
What do you do when you go to a restaurant and they don't have any healthy options? I mean, they have salads, but they either have loads of crap on them or meat, which I don't eat. They do have a crusted Salmon option served with rice - that seems like the best option but even that isn't great. Any ideas?

You + Gym = ? Calories burned
I'm just curious how many calories everyone tries to burn at the gym every day? My goal has been 400 but usually I'm closer to 500. Is this too low? I'm set at a 1260 calorie/day (lose 1.5 lbs/week) diet and have been under my calories every day by at least 300. Thanks for any input! :)

Elimination Diet
Has anyone tried the elimination diet? Basically, it's not really a diet I guess. More of a body cleanse. But apparently it really helps with weight loss too since you're getting rid of all the crap you eat. No dairy, no sugar etc. It's not a forever diet, just a short term change in eating habits. I'd love to her any…
