Did anyone else hear???!!
On the today show this morning, I heard Joy Bauer ( a certified NUTRITIONIST) say that detoxing is a load of crap basically and that our bodies do a fine job at detoxing naturally. I have never tired a detox diet but have considered it as i've heard great things about it. THOUGHTS?!

People need to watch what they say!

"Drink Water"
I don't understand: People on here post and say "oh I went overboard today and ate so much" or "I binged and ate mcdonalds." People respond by saying "thats okay, just drink water. Tomorrow is a new day." I don't get that. What does drinking water do? I dont mean this to sound rude...I am just confused! If i overeat or eat…

Calories Burnt Rollover?!
My mom said that at weight watchers they say that if you don't eat your exercise calories/points one day, you can eat them the next day even if you don't exercise that day. Is that true?

Calories burnt in SPINNING class
I tried spinning at the gym for the first time this morning. HOLY CRAP was it a different kind of exercise than what I am used to. I am used to running and the elliptical. I was really confused with the settings on the bike and am not sure if I REALLY worked out as hard as I could have in an hour. Anyways, I am wondering…

A cruise made me lose weight?
So I just got back from a 5 day cruise to turks and caicos and I lost 5 pounds unintentionally. This is so bizzare to me because I ate and drank a TON and didn't work out at all (although the stairs on the ship were a killer). I honestly don't need to loser 5 pounds and now i'm trying to gain it back but has this ever…

Dreadmill vs. Outdoors
Which do you prefer? I ran on the dreadmill for 35 minutes today and wanted to cry. I was all sweaty and gross and exhausted! I can run outside for an hour and not be tired. WEIRD! I also find that when I run outside, I have random thoughts and think about lots of different things. I also come up with some of my best ideas…

Was I good or bad? Please tell me what you think!! I need t
So I struggle with eating (a lot). I am very used to my own routine and I hate going out of it. Today was a holiday for me, Christmas, so that meant that I was surrounded by lots of great food! It was hard for me to go out of my routine but I did a little bit. I am going to come clean about roughly what I ate and I am…

Water benefits
Hi All!! I feel like i've asked this before but I don't remember the answer. How beneficial exactly is drinking water? What exactly does it do to your body? And this last one might sound silly but, is it only beneficial along with a healthy diet and exercise? Thanks in advance!

i feel lazy
I hate this feeling!! I mean, I ran 5 miles yesterday but today I didn't do anything. I had a final this morning at 8AM that took me 3 and a half hours. Im mentally drained and need to study for my next one. I haven't been doing anything at all. I should really go to the gym or something but I just showered because I think…

Annoying?
I am just wondering if all of you that have a significant-ish (i made up that word!) get annoyed with the people on this website that don't need to lose weight or are trying to maintain their current weight? Personally, I feel like IF I had a lot of weight to lose and I saw all these people who don't need to lose any…

? about maintaining weight
Someone told me today that they heard that if you maintain your weight for a certain amount of time, it is harder to gain it all back. I hear stories all the time about people who lose weight and then gain it all back. I am petrified of this! I have maintained my weight for roughly 6 months now. Does that mean its harder…

Confession: I don't eat fruit!!!
Yuip. I said it and it's the truth. I just don't like fruit. I think its a texture thing. It is really the only thing I am picky about but I won't eat a single kind of fruit. Am I going to die at a young age (half kidding)? Anyone else on the same boat? I eat veggies. Not salad but veggies. I'm weird! Buuuut I lost a lot…

Calories burned with backpack?
I walk around campus all day with a HUGE backpack which adds a lot of weight to my body. Do you think that I burn more calories while walking because I am wearing such a heavy backpack or is it the same? Thanks in advance! :)

How low is TOO low?!
I think I am having the opposite problem and I don't know why. I go over my calories every day and I am losing too much weight.. I have lost now almost 60 pounds in a year. I am 5'4", 22 years old, and I just weighed myself this morning at 117 pounds. Is that TOO low? I never intended to lose that much weight. I am so…

Peeing
Does peeing help you lose weight? I drink a ton of water, and therefore pee every 5 minutes. Is it actually peeing or the drinking of water that makes you lose weight? I know that the body is supposed to get used to drinking a lot of water...but its been over a year and I still pee every 5 minutes. It's getting annoying.…

Too hard on myself
I have been "dieting" since May of 2007. I have lost probably about 50 pounds at now, although my weight fluctuates all the time because I drink so much water. I am really proud of myself and what I have accomplished and do not consider myself overweight or even average....people actually call me "skinny" which is a new…
