Why do people consider weight loss surgery cheating?
I am scheduled to have a gastric bypass on May 24th. I have family and friends making snide comments about my decision. And I keep reading online posts about how weight loss surgery is so horrible because it is cheating. I have followed a doctor supervised diet and exercise regiment for over a year. My PCOS is making it…

2 questions about biking
1. Does biking actually help with weight loss? 2. If I start biking I need a way for my little ones to do it with me.

Embarrassed
I love to work out...any type of physical activity. I was going to the gym during my lunch breaks and it broke my heart...I'd end my workout in the shower crying and having to return to work all red eyed. The people at the gym are SO mean (many are coworkers.) Yes, I am fat. I know that I am fat. I don't need it pointed…

Low carb dieting
I have a few questions about low carb dieting. What is a realistic daily carb goal? What are good food choices besides eggs, veggies and chicken?

What's the longest you've gone...?
My baby was born this past November and I still haven't had a period. Before having him I was averaging 3 periods a year (I did go a whole year before without one).

Weight loss surgery...
I want to get weight loss surgery since none of my efforts on my own are working. My insurance requires that you have so many co-morbid issues along with your weight problem. I unfortunately don't.

Exercise for girls with large boobies?

What is the truth about eating after 6:00pm?
My husband is a wrestling coach and knows the ins and outs of what it takes to lose weight. He says that eating after 6:00 just turns the calories into fat and if I'm serious about losing weight I'll just have to take the hunger pains. Problem is I don't get home from work until after 5:30 and by the time I get the kids…
