Possible to gain an inch on hips in 2 weeks?
As I appear to have. Granted, I am struggling a bit to get totally back on track after xmas, but even when I had a very severe 6 week binge eating period, my hips remained the same size. I am a bit bruised at the moment on my butt(fall) so don't know if that could contribute.

Vegetarians/Pescetarians Who Went Back To Meat?
How did it affect you? Did you gain weight/ lose weight? Did it have an impact on your digestion? I was vegetarian from 13 to 22, and have been pescetarian from 22 to the present(37) apart from a few brief phases of eating chicken again. My brother and mother both used to be vegetarian but went back to eating meat due to…

Should I Buy PS3 Or Xbox ?
I got a secondhand ps3(160gb) but find it is freezing badly with 2 of the 3 games I got (skyrim and uncharted). Is it normal for the ps3 to freeze a lot or have I got a faulty one? I am obviously planning on taking it back. I would have gone for the xbox 360 as there seems to be more games for it and I prefer the graphics,…

Best regime to get rid of some waist/belly flab?
I was pretty fit and tight until October when an emotional event triggered me to binge eat for the best part of 6 weeks. As a result, my weight shot up about 10Ibs and my formerly lean body now has some fat around the waist area which I despise. I got fit before by doing just cycling and elliptical, some walking. This…

Xmas Will Be Ruined By My Weight.
I had not checked my weight in about 10 weeks until tonight. The reason? I had an emotional upheaval in October and spent about 5 or 6 weeks binge eating in a really major way, sometimes 7000 calories + a day. I also have issues with bulimia so it was not straight binge eating (and before you ask yes I do see someone about…

Anyone Else Have a Skinny Boyfriend/Partner ?
Does it affect you at all ? Do you ever feel self conscious if you eat more than they do ? Sort of struggle with this, as although I am lower end of BMI myself, my bf is pretty skinny and tends to be a lot more self controlled around food, which can make me feel really guilty about eating at times when he is not.

I notice many, many suggestions of weight training, heavy weights, but from what I have read, it will result in a higher weight, even if a leaner look.

Any Other Women Here Like Big Dinners?
Just wondering if I am alone, in tending to like a pretty big plateful of food in the evening, that might shock even some of the guys, lol ?

I have a small meal before bed, since I tend to get hungry between my dinner at 9.30pm and bedtime at around 3am, and I have recently changed it slightly but not sure which is better for a bedtime meal, or if it makes much difference at all.

Adult Females - Should Ribs Show ?
I am just curious, having read that in healthy weight children, ribs should be clearly visible, if you are also meant to be able to see ribs in healthy adults, in particular females?

Jillian Michaels - Your views?
I have come across a fair amount of criticism of her methods in training, and of her using poor and dangerous form in her Kettlebell DVDs, and also criticism of her series where apparently, she had a woman doing a 5k with a knee injury.

Hungry within an hour of dinner
I am not overweight, never have been, just trying to get back to the 126 I am comfortable at, since I have had a bad month and gained about 7 Ibs.

Restrictive Diet Leads To Binge eating?
I used to pretty much eat what I wanted, not overeating, but if I fancied a mcflurry, I had one, If I wanted a baked potato with prawn mayo, I had it, and if I wanted a seafood linguini microwave meal, I had it. I find that since I became more into 'clean' eating, and avoiding microwave meals, and trying new foods because…

Do You Eat Processed Food?
I tried eliminating almost all processed food, but found it quite limiting, given I don't really cook, and I ended up binge eating, probably as a result of a lack of variety in my diet (think poached or boiled salmon, boiled tuna steak, vegetables, fruits, nuts, eggs, cottage cheese and greek yoghurt). Now I have low…

Is It Ever Your Experience ... ?
That the people who seem to encourage you the most, care the most, and speak the most words about how they are there for you, and will not leave your side and such things, are often the ones who run the fastest when a problem arises?

Some people just need higher carbs ?
I cycle a lot and when I workout at the gym, I go at it pretty hard for around 60-90 minutes, burning between 600 and 900 calories a session.
