How do you avoid wardrobe malfunctions in a bikini?
This may not be the right place to post this question but I went with the "Support" in the title. :) I am planning on wearing my first bikini ever on an upcoming trip. The problem I have is that after significant weight loss my "girls" aren't what they used to be. There's a lot less tissue in that skin and they move around…

Needing some advice

I started lifting weights in mid January but my shoulders seem slow to develop. I started doing dumbbell diagonal raises the last few weeks and they seem to be making a difference.

This is quite a jump from where I was before in my protein (around 160g). I can make it happen but oh my goodness! My problem is I am also participating in a work wellness program that is…

I need advice.
Thank you for taking the time to read this. I am beginning to feel desperate and I don't understand what I am doing wrong. I would appreciate advice or maybe someone can see what it is I am doing wrong. First a little history-I was overweight for years and then in August 2009 I started on Weight Watchers. I lost 85 lbs…

Headaches with weight lifting
The last three days when I start lifting weights I get an instantaneous headache on one side of my head. I am not lifting extreme, ex: tonight I started with a military press at 40 lbs. It happened even on the day I was working my legs. Has anyone else experienced this? What could the causes be? I haven't had a headache…
