Summertime Diet Blues
So I gained 3 lbs...and I have no excuse, its all on me. Summer just gets in the way. The past couple of weeks have been go go go, I feel like I don't have time to breathe.

I have such a hard time in the summer sticking to everything....want to get out of work and be outside because we don't get much of this all year, eating out a lot, sitting with friends and the beer starts flowing...I find winter is so much easier.

Confused - Skinny Fat and Toning
I have read so much about losing weight and toning I am now confused. I have read more than once you can't lose weight and gain muscle at the same time.

Weight Loss, no Workouts
OK, I have been complaining for about a month that I have been eating my 1200 calories a day, working out about 4 times a week (cardio and weights) and have been stuck at the same weight. I realized that I was not buring the calories that the machines said so I adjusted for that, I ate more then less, and nothing. Well I…

I was 141, dropped to 135 (I have seen 133 and 134 a couple times but right back there again). I don't cheat, I count EVERYTHING I put in my mouth...work out 5 to 6 days a week. I eat back most of my…
