Foot Cramps
Whenever I do a plyometric exercise or something like jumping jacks my feet start to cramp up in the arches. Does this happen to anyone else? I push through it but I feel like its one of those things that's uncomfortable for no reason.

Critical Mom
I have a mom who is overweight and trying to get in shape. Right now I am healthy and active, I appreciate my body and wouldn't mind losing some pounds but if I don't it's not the end of the world. When I eat around her she makes critical comments like "we need to go on a diet" or "stop eating that" or "that's really…

Eating at Social Events
I went to a gala this evening and there was a buffet type dinner and desserts galore. Do you have any tips to keep the eating to a minimum when around friends. I find I'm not really hungry, but I more eat because 1) I'm with friends, 2) The food is there 3) I want to try everything 4) Most of the food tastes good.
