need a quick dinner idea for under 350 calories
I am stuck on campus for dinner. My options are very limited. Either a sandwich from the coffee shop or I can run to the grocery store for something very fast, but preferably not microwavable. Anyone have any suggestions? I only have a 25 min break.

Stress and Acne!
I never had acne as a teen or even in my early 20's, but ever since I started law school (well actually the week I took the LSAT) I have had awful acne. I have seen my primary, my obgyn, and a herbalist (which actually worked the best) and nothing has helped long term. Basically, I am just under a lot of stress and…

flabby abs and love handles
Anyone have fixes for abs that need some tightening and love handles? I am game for ANYTHING besides basic crunches. I just hate them! I need something that doesn't strain my neck and back so much.

is swimming good enough?
I used to rotate cardio (running or spinning) and weight lifting (which I dread) , but because it is cold outside and the new spin times aren't good for me I have switched to just swimming laps for 30 min or so a day. I know that amount of time is too short, but if I up it to an hour, do you think that is enough exercise?…
