following all the rules but very little is happening...FRUST
How do I know if I have lost fat and or gained muscle?

Eating at night...how bad is it, really?
Ok, I am doing great so far with my diet except for one thing...I really want a snack at night! I have 2 small children so I can't workout until the evenings when the hubby is home and everything winds down, and since I run and walk outdoors I don't even do that until 8 or 9 when it cools down a little. When I get home I…
