Lets clean up the backgrounds
Have you ever noticed how we don't pay attention to the background in our pics? I can't tell you how many pics I've seen with clothing and other debris strewn around the room. I even have a pic with a toilet in the background!!

Day one Jillian Michaels kicked my *kitten*!!
Yeah, I did it with my daughter; who is 20. She was able to do the whole 20 min but I had to stop several times and rest. Man, am I ever out of shape. How sad! My question is: How many calories did I burn (or will I burn when I get better)? I am 5'8" and 150. How often should we do this? We are just starting to exercise…

How to compliment someone on their weight loss
I just finished reading "What is the rudest thing someone has ever said about your weight?" and it made me think; conversely, when someone loses weight and you either notice or you notice something is different and you just can't pinpoint it, what do you say? Is it appropriate to mention the weight loss if you're not sure…

I'm a fitness loser!
Yeah, I look at all the success stories on this forum every day and relish in the before and afters. I think it's awesome. I, on the other hand don't have such a marked difference because I only lost about 15 lbs. I've always stayed within a certain range of weight and I don't think I put in as much effort to lose the…

Would this upset you?
I totally made an error and didn't even realize it. My 20 yr old stepdaughter recently gained about 50 lbs. She was looking to borrow a hoodie and I handed her one of mine and told her to try it on to see if it fits. Apparently that was the WRONG thing to say. I didn't even realize it and meant no harm whatsoever! Would…

Can metabolism permanently change?
Is this possible: You exercise like crazy for a period of years. You stop. You gain weight. Has your metabolism permanently been changed because of all that exercise? My feelings; the person didn't ratchet down their calories. What are your feelings on this?

extra skin?
My friend asked me if she lost weight, would there be extra skin. She is just over 5 foot and about 160-170. What do you think?? I told her I thought it would tighten up but wasn't exactly sure. She is about 20 yrs old.

What made you want to lose the weight?
What happened that tipped you in the direction to make a change and lose the weight? Was it one thing, was it a series of things? For me, it was not feeling good about myself any longer and looking sloppy in my jeans. Also, I was having a hard time with the increased abdominal weight. I'm doing well now but have learned…

Does your weight vary with your monthly cycle?
Just wondering if anyone has done an in depth study on this. Sometimes my weight fluctuates a few pounds (within a few days) not related to diet or salt intake.

Losing without exercising?
Is anyone else losing weight without exercising? I am too lazy to exercise so I just eat less.

middle age mid-section fat; can I lose it??
I have recently returned to a weight I was 5 years ago, but WITH something I didn't have before; mid-section fat/thickness. Is it possible to exercise this off or am I stuck with it?? It's not real bad but I feel 3 months pregnant and it's kind of annoying. If so, what exercises? I have a gym and a stability ball. Thanks…
