For the ladies - ever buy smaller clothing for motivation?
I am a total clotheshorse, and being a single professional and without kids, pretty much all of my disposable income goes to clothes (hey - everyone's got to have something that makes them happy!) I've had my eye on this absolutely gorgeous really expensive dress at my favourite store Anthropologie for a while. It's one of…

Does low-carb still work if not in ketosis?
Also, does anyone have an idea what your fat/protein ratio should be when you're doing a low-carb but not ketogenic diet? I don't think I'm disciplined enough to do the ketogenic diet, as I love my fruit. Right now I've cut out all carbs except for fruits, vegetables and Greek yogurt, which comes to about 75-80 g a day. Is…

Anyone here ever lose weight while on Seroquel?
Hi everyone, My doctor put me on 25 mg Seroquel in June of last year to treat my Pelvic Floor Dysfunction.

Dealin with negative comments from friends?
I'm feeling like the community here is the only place I'm getting support for my new lifestyle! Last Sunday I was at my friend's place for a Superbowl party. I brought my own snacks and didn't eat any of the ones (chips, cookies, etc.) that were being offered. My friends kept bugging me to eat them, so I finally just said…

I've always been one of those lucky people who ate whatever they wanted and never gained weight, which led to me not being disciplined and eating pretty unhealthy food for the last few months. I was eating WAY too much…

How do you deal with grumpy servers?
So now that I'm trying to lose weight, I'm trying not to eat out and eat as many meals at home as possible. Part of the reason why I ended up gaining weight was that I got into a lifestyle of going out for almost every meal - I'm single and I live alone, as do most of my friends, so it's much easier for all of us to meet…

Any side effects to having too much Vitamin C?
Almost every day I am at 700 or 800% of how much Vitamin C I should have. I'm getting it from a green smoothie I drink every day (spinach/spring mix + 1 cup frozen fruit), an apple or pear for a snack in the afternoon, and then some berries for a yogurt parfait I make before bed. I can't seem to stay within the range for…
